The Plaza
"The ultimate place to meet and greet new friends!" - The Directory
The Plaza is the central hub of Tower Unite. It is an expansive resort featuring a variety of outdoor locations and enterable buildings . It is connected to the Game Worlds and Condos via the Game World Ports and Condo Hub respectively. Stores in the Plaza sell placeable items and cosmetics in exchange for Units or other currencies.
In addition to the Plaza's enterable buildings, players can fish in select bodies of water and random events and minigames occur at various locations. Seasonal events decorate the Plaza and activate event-exclusive quests.
