Kenyatta caught your eye, and you want to know her better? In this guide, I will go over how to romance Kenyatta in Palia.
Kenyatta is a romanceable Majiri resident of Kilima village. The Magistrate’s daughter, her hobbies include annoying her mother, and (begrudgingly) working at Town Hall. She can be difficult to impress, but her wit is unmatched.
Kenyatta is a free soul who despite being the Magistrate’s daughter, would rather spend her time in the stables. She has a touch of mischief to her as she is constantly at odds with her mother.
She is still trying to figure out her path in life, but you may just be the destination she’s looking for.
She has light lavender skin and short, black hair swept to the right, and brown eyes. She can be found wearing a purple top with a fur collar and brown pants with a cloak tied around her waist.

Unlocking Romance with Kenyatta in Palia
As stated by the developers “We want players to be able to engage in the romance feature for intrinsic reasons, like genuine interest in getting to know the characters. The romances are not meant for extrinsic rewards. Romance storylines unfold alongside the main story, and serve to add more options for your adventures in Palia. But you will not miss out on progress, rewards, or gameplay if you do not romance an NPC.”
Building on what the developers said, Romance is built upon having a relationship with any given character. In the gameplay that will translate into the need to raise the character’s friendship to Level 3 before attempting to romance them.
To open the Romance route for Kenyatta after you raise her Friendship Level to 3 you will need to give her a Box of Chocolates.
A Box of Chocolates can be bought for 200 Gold from Zeki’s General Store. This will begin her romance route, which starts from level one.
These are the in-game descriptions per level of romance, and the quests you will unlock.
| Romance Level | Points Needed | Quote | Quest Unlocked |
| Level 1: Socially Appropriate Courtship | 1 | “You are currently courting Kenyatta… from a distance.” | N/A |
| Level 2: It’s Complicated | 130 | ‘Things are getting more serious between you and Kenyatta… and that makes things complicated.” | “Something Afoot in Bahari Bay” is the Romance Quest given by Kenyatta |
| Level 3: Perfect Partners | 320 | “You and Kenyatta make a pretty good team, whether you’re crime-fighting or doing… other things.” | “Unusual Suspects” is the Romance Quest given by Kenyatta |
| Level 4: Perfectly Imperfect | 660 | “You and Kenyatta can just be yourselves around each other.” | “Kenyatta’s Pin“ is the Romance Quest given by Kenyatta followed by the “Perfect Partners” Romance Quest |
This was everything you needed to know about how to start a romance with Kenyatta in Palia.
Interactions With Kenyatta That Earn Romance Points
With each level of Romance, the required points drastically increase, and in order to reach Level 4 Romance which is the max you will need 660 points.
There are four different ways to get these points while playing the game and interacting with Kenyatta.
- Chatting with Kenyatta
Every hour that passes while you play, you will be able to gain points. At first, those points will go to increase your friendship, but once you reach Friendship level 3, and unlock the Romance route, they will be converted to Romance points.
Keep in mind, that the one hour mentioned refers to actual time, and not in-game time.
If you interact with Kenyatta within the same one-hour period, you won’t be able to gain more points.
- Flirting with Kenyatta
Once you go down the Romance route with Kenyatta, you will be given the option to flirt with her. Flirting gives more romantic vibes when talking with Kenyatta, and will give you Romance points as well.
Unfortunately, flirting has the same restrictions that talking does. You will only get Romance points once per one-hour period.
However, since you are Romancing a character, and getting to know them more even if you don’t get Romance points, flirting more than once does not seem so bad.
- Giving Kenyatta Gifts
Kenyatta has a lot of different liked and loved gifts to receive from players. However, the game limits the ability to give characters gifts to once per real-time day.
A couple of liked gifts are Wild Garlic, and Sernuk Antlers that you can give her, while she would love to receive a Heartdrop Lily.
Aside from the list of liked, and loved gifts each character has four weekly wants. Each week they rotate to something different, and you can learn more about what they are from chatting with the characters.
- Completing Quests
Lastly, each time you complete a Character Quest, you will be rewarded with points. In the beginning, those points will be Friendship points, so make sure to finish any pending quests first before giving Kenyatta any new gifts.
This way you will be able to get the Romance points, and maybe the level increase before giving her any gifts.
