Trigger the hidden cassette minigame and claim the Survivor’s New Groove calling card on the final Zombies map.

Mister Peeks’ Dance Off is a hidden side activity on Rex Infernus that ends with the Survivor’s New Groove calling card and a trophy stuffed with loot. It starts when you find a gold cassette tape and play it, which drops you into a Dance Dance Revolution-style minigame inside Her House. The whole thing hinges on the Void Claw grapple, so you cannot start it until Pack-a-Punch is up and running.

Quick answer: Grab the Void Claw, pull purple orbs from the Nexus Forge sky into dig sites to open them, keep digging until a gold cassette tape drops, then play it in the tape player on the upper west wall of Aranea Insula to launch the dance minigame and earn the calling card.

What you need before you start

The one hard requirement is the Void Claw, the grapple hook found at the bottom of the Nexus Forge after you open Pack-a-Punch. Without it you cannot pull the purple orbs or crack open the dig sites, and both steps are mandatory. Finish the Pack-a-Punch sequence first, then head below the Forge to claim the grapple from the green orb.

How to find the gold cassette tape

Look for dig sites around the outer areas of the map. They appear as dirt mounds marked with bones, and you will find them in exterior zones like Caltheris’ Passage and Aranea Insula. These work like the dig spots from the Origins map in Black Ops 2.

Point your view toward the Nexus Forge sky to spot the floating purple orbs. Fire the Void Claw at an orb, then drag it down into a nearby dig site so the mound absorbs it. The dig site starts glowing once it has taken in enough energy.
With the site glowing, use the Void Claw on it to break it open and pull out the loot inside. Repeat this across several dig sites around the map.
After opening enough dig sites, a gold cassette tape will drop as loot. Pick it up. This is the item that starts the minigame.

How to start the dance minigame

Carry the gold cassette tape to Aranea Insula, the area where Widow’s Wine is located. Head to the upper west wall, where a tape player is waiting.
Place the cassette in the tape player and interact with it. This teleports you into Her House to begin the Dance Dance Revolution-inspired minigame.
Match the button prompts as they appear on screen. The sequence runs for over a minute, and every correct input adds to your score. Missing prompts lowers the score you build up.

Note: The higher your final score, the better the rewards you walk away with, so aim to hit as many prompts cleanly as you can.

Rewards and how to know it worked

When the song finishes, Mr. Peeks teleports you back to the Nexus Forge. That teleport is your confirmation the run counted. Waiting for you there is the Survivor’s New Groove calling card and a trophy filled with loot, with the contents scaling to the score you earned during the dance.

If the cassette never drops, keep opening dig sites, since the tape only appears after you have cleared several of them with the Void Claw. And if a dig site refuses to open, check that it is glowing first. A site only breaks open once it has absorbed a purple orb.
