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.
| Requirement | Where it comes from |
|---|---|
| Void Claw grapple | Bottom of the Nexus Forge, unlocked after opening Pack-a-Punch |
| Dig sites | Map exteriors such as Caltheris’ Passage and Aranea Insula |
| Purple orbs | Floating in the Nexus Forge sky |
| Gold cassette tape | Drops after opening several dig sites |

How to start the dance minigame
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.
