Last month House Party has been updated to 1.0, with this came the addition of the Female character. The change's to the story are big and have added a lot of new and cool things to the game.

For speedrunning however, this does not affect the way speedrun verification works. As most of the stuff stays the same. With the addition of new route's exclusive to the Male/Female character. It's up to the runner to find out which is faster.

The game now also contains a route for Patrick and Brittney, while also adding a new threesome option. These have been added to their respective category.

Apart from that nothing has been changed or added to the leaderboard. So for the runners wondering, Do I have to submit separately for the male/female character? No, You don't have to.

I hope to have you informed enough about the update to the leaderboard for House Party! Enjoy Running this game!

As announced previously runs had to be re-watched and all 0.17 runs had to be moved to the old category previously known as "Version 0.09 - 0.17*

This is now done and no runs prior to 0.18 can compete with category "0.20 - current" and "0.18 - 0.19" anymore.

Additionally some runs have been removed due to their video's not being online anymore or because the video's lacked the required ingame censorship. This seems to be an oversight from last time those runs were re-verified.

As a way to compensate for the recent change's on the board, and because the popularity for both this game and it's speedrunning scene have increased. There is now also a category devoted to all the threesome's available in the game.

The following threesome's combinations are part of the new category:

• All Vickie threesome combinations
• The Brittney/Lety Threesome
• The Easter egg threesome between Lety and Rachael
• All Vickie Threesome's in 1 run

This means we can now all enjoy speedrunning the Vickie content and all the other threesome content in the game. I hope you guys are ready and excited for that!

This means not many changes are expected to be made for this leaderboard for now, Although this might change in the future. Until then, Keep speedrunning the game and enjoy your time speedrunning the new category!

Recently Eek Games has removed the ability to play game versions prior to 0.18. Because of this House Party can't be played on versions older than 0.18.

Because of this all runs that have been done on game version 0.17 can no longer be challenged and thus cannot be competing with newer runs. For this reason we will rename the category v0.9 -v0.16 to Obsolete Versions and additionally to that, Will move all 0.17 runs to this category, These versions will not compete with runs done on game versions 0.18-0.19 and 0.20 - current.

This decision has been made for the reason that competing with other Speedrunners should be fair and everyone should have the equal opportunity to compete with the time's set by others on the leaderboard. Since these versions can't be acquired by anyone, These runs done on older versions can't be challenged and thus could have unfair advantage's over newer/older runs.

• What does this mean for runs done on 0.17? These runs will be moved to the new category and could possible have their ranking increased/decreased depending on the time set on older runs

• What does this mean for runs done on 0.18 and 0.19? Some runs done on these versions will have their ranking increased as a result of this change.

• What does this mean for runs done on 0.9 - 0.16? These runs might have their ranking increased/increased depending on the time set on runs done on game version 0.17

• What does this mean for runs done on 0.20 - 0.21? These versions will stay untouched unless the game undergoes massive change's that require the category to be split apart or renamed.

We are sorry for the inconvenience of this change, But we can't guarantee much with a game that's still in early access and with plans to move out of early access in the future. However, We will be adding the Vickie threesome's to the leaderboard soon as well, So you guys and girls have something to look forward to.

For now these are the upcoming change's and additions to the leaderboard you can expect. So expect a lot of maintenance in the next two weeks.

A day has passed since the previous news post, now with definitive changes made to the leaderboard.

There have been new Categories, Some have been removed and some of the older runs have either been moved or removed. Either bc they wouldn't be fair for new competitors or bc the game was uncensored.

First the rules that have been altered, changed or have stayed the same:

• No spawning in items
• The game must always be censored so that we can comply with the TOS of Speedrun.com, even when the run contains no lewd content or nudity
• Always have your game version in the description so that we can properly verify your speedrun

Optional: You can always end a good run by going to the main menu were the version is shown at the top right corner of the screen. This is optional but could help us throw away any suspicious regarding a run.

Now for category specific runs and especially Reward% we have changed a bit of how it will work. Since people were submitting different kind of runs with different requirements for the 'reward' we have decided to specify the kind of reward a runner has completed.

These 2 rewards are:

• Oral/Jack-Off reward (BJ, Eating out a girl, Getting jacked off)
• Intimate Reward% which contains the full romance reward for a character

it would be helpfull if players decided which reward to run before submission, tough we are able to move them to the appropiate board.

In regards to old categories the following categories have been removed:

• Custom Story's
• New version
• Old version

At the time of working on the board we have not seen a single run in the custom story category, not only that but these custom story's are from players from outside the House Party speedrun community. Meaning we could have trouble keeping track of projects outside of the main game. If people like to run these Custom Story's anyway. Feel free to leave a thread or reply with a comment and also tell us which custom story you would like to run

As addition and as a replacement for other categories we have added new categories to the game board:

• A category for game version v0.9 - v0.16
• A category for game version 0.17 - v0.19
• A category for the current/latest patch
• In the miscellaneous categories we have now added a Knockout Guest sub category which times how fast it takes to take down a specific character with the fighting mechanic.

What have we done with runs who did not come back to the leaderboard? There were different ways we handled moving around this runs. Our main concerns were uncensored runs, Runs without a timer, Or runs who used versions older than 0.14 since these versions are unobtainable.

• We have removed all runs that contain uncensored content, Since not only has censorship become mandatory on most platforms, but it also breaks Speedrun.com TOS, There will be no further discussion regarding this matter. Since we simply cannot violate the TOS of this website.

• All runs that use versions unobtainable to this date (V0.9 - v0.13) have been moved to the V0.9 - V0.16 sub-category, since regardless of them being unaccessible. Most of the runs contain strategies that still hold ground for runs with versions still available but within the category

• All runs without a timer have been requested to re-submit their run but with a timer added in it, We have already seen most of these and can say they were fair and square but just missed a timer to put it on the board. We would like to prevent further discussion among runners about runs that would possibly have been falsely approved

These were all the changes to the board, from which most will be definitive for the time being. This board is almost ready to be opened again, we will submit some runs for empty categories so that new runners know what to expect for a run. While also looking for a few more mods and providing more resources for runners. Some of which are guides, livesplit tools and more.

For any questions or comments to the news above or any recent changes made, feel free to reply to this news post or leave a thread in the Forum with suggestions.

I hope we will be able to officially re-open this board soon and have many new and excited runners to speedrun this game. This was the news post for now.

More news to come soon!

Due to inactivity of the previous supermods I have requested to become a supermod for this leaderboard in order to regain the board.

We will try to make this leaderboard better by adding more categories, changing some of the rules and improving the quality of moderation alongside allowing more input from the community

Currently the moderation team consists of: -AyyItsSmitty
-MelvinV -CamelCaseName
-Deathly_Escape

More moderators may come in the future.

Some of the changes that could be expected: -Categories for each version -Timers become mandatory for each category (old runs may still be on the board without them) -Censorship becomes mandatory for each category -We now have 2 Discords in regards to House Party, 1 being the official House Party Discord and the other one being a speedrunning Discord previously owned by the previous moderators -We will try and remove 2 of the old Supermods from this Leaderboard as they are inactive to this leaderboard. They are not part of the team listed above and we have no influence over them.

Runs from 11/30/2021 have been moved to the Old Leaderboard section where they will be stored and preserved. Since I did not feel like invalidating the hard work people have put in. Some of these runs will go back on the board on their respective game version. We make an exception for these runs in regards to the timer. Since these runs have been verified by the previous moderators. However, all uncensored runs will be removed. This is to avoid the TOS violation of Speedrun.com

This is the information for now, More information will come soon!
