Genshin Impact has introduced its own dating simulation event called Hangout Events. At the celebration, players can hang out with the four featured characters - Barbara, Bennett, Chongyun, and Noelle.

In the Hangout Event story quests, players will be given multiple dialogs for interaction in different situations. Each unique choice of dialog will lead the Hangout storyline to a unique ending.

Two story-keys are required to unlock the storyline of each character. Story-keys can be obtained by completing eight daily commissions. Every player usually owns three story-keys by default.

After using two-story keys to unlock a character's Hangout Quest, players can claim another if they have completed eight commissions in the past. In this way, players can hang out with two characters on the first day of the event.

After unlocking the Hangout quest for a character, players can follow the in-game instructions to proceed ahead. At times, the game will offer multiple choices and multiple approaches to deal with specific situations.

Players can get different endings or no endings at all, depending upon their unique choices or decisions they make in a storyline. To keep track of different storyline branches, players can use the "Check Plan" option in the quest menu.
