Within each week you can select one activity, such as going to the gym, sightseeing, or eating out. These affect your character in different ways: sightseeing increases momentum, while eating out replenishes energy. You can also mess around with Mario Party-style mini-games such as Penta Says, in which you try to button-match the luchador's dance moves, or the self explanatory AEW Pop Quiz.
