Viva PiΓ±ata!
I saw there was a serious lack of appreciation for the series on this website and decided a club was a good place to start :') welcome party animals! no need to fill out a form or anything to post. anyone is welcome, old fan or new fan, or even just curious people who are interested in the series!
if you have any further questions, feel free to comment! I have been playing since the original was released almost 18 years ago, so I will probably be able to help you. and of course this thread is open to any and all discussion about the series :') thanks for reading!

What is Viva PiΓ±ata?
Viva PiΓ±ata is a 2006 casual (mostly) singleplayer gardening game where you tame, breed, dress up, and collect piΓ±ata animals. There are lots of plants and decorations for your garden, and you can customize the terrain too. You aren't limited to one garden, either (so you can have one garden for swananas and one for sarsgorillas if you want!) There are all kinds of piΓ±ata species, ranging from sea turtles and wolves to four-headed snakes and a dinosaur! Each piΓ±ata type has different requirements you must meet for it to appear, visit your garden, become a resident, and breed. You level up by getting ribbons in your journal for doing tasks like master romancing a certain species, and leveling up means you unlock more seeds, more piΓ±atas, and better tools!
Where can I play?
Viva PiΓ±ata and Viva PiΓ±ata: Trouble in Paradise were released for the Xbox 360. Both Viva PiΓ±ata (2006) and Viva PiΓ±ata: Trouble in Paradise are included in Rare Replay, which is also included in Xbox Gamepass!
There are two other Viva PiΓ±ata games as well:
Viva PiΓ±ata: Pocket Paradise is a game made for the Nintendo DS in 2008. I do not personally recommend this one as there is a lot of cut content. It's still charming though! And inexpensive.
Viva PiΓ±ata: Party Animals is a 2007 party game made for the Xbox 360. The gameplay is almost completely different from the other three installments; it's just a party game with a Viva PiΓ±ata coat of paint.
There is also a Viva PiΓ±ata fan-made game in the works called Return to Paradise!
I feel like I recognise this, but I didn't play it/never had an Xbox 360....
Viva PiΓ±ata (2006) was also given a physical only release for PCs!
If that's not it either, there was also a television series that aired on 4kids.
