Gaining enough experience from activities during the RuneScape Summer Beach Party 2020 will fill up your temperature bar. Once filled, it renders you unable to participate in any more until you eat an ice cream. The bar can be reset 3 times each day.

The RuneScape Beach Event 2020 also features two events that tie into its temperature mechanic. The first of them is Happy Hour, during which every activity is spotlighted and players can gain experience without worrying about their temperature bar increasing.

Happy Hours make it possible for players who've already capped their daily temperature bar to continue gaining XP. In addition, there's a 20% higher chance of items dropping from activities. Happy Hours last for – you guessed it – one hour.

The second event is called Heatwave and takes place every weekend, from Friday at noon until Monday at noon. During this time, players can continue raising their skills through activities regardless of their temperature.

You'll also be able to access the following Distractions and Diversions during the RuneScape Beach Event 2020:

• Fish Flingers portal
• Sinkhole portal
• Shooting Star portal
• Evil tree portal

• Familiarisation portal
