Umamusume Pretty Derby lets you pick your favourite horse girl and train her to win races. However, training in this game can be quite difficult due to having to manage different stats and aspects of your character alongside countless random events. One such stat is the mood, which affects how your trainee performs in training and races.

The mood of your trainee increases or decreases depending on many factors. However, when it is low, you have to use Recreation to improve her mood. This guide explains everything you need to know regarding the Recreation activity in Umamusume Pretty Derby.

Recreation is an activity that is available for your Uma girls during the URA Career playthroughs. It is located at the bottom of your screen in the home screen during the Career section, right below Training. 

When used, it takes up a day from your schedule and lets you take your trainee on an outing to relax and enjoy. Doing so increases her mood by one or two levels. However, there is a very low chance of a dialogue choice appearing during Recreation. Depending on the choice, the mood can either increase or decrease. Moreover, the dialogues are random for every trainee, but the choice is always easy.

Recreation Event in Umamusume Pretty Derby

When you are halfway done with your career run, the principal of the Tracen Academy takes everyone out for a beachside training session. During this event, the Recreation and Rest feature merges together. This allows your trainee to both increase her mood and energy at the same time. 

It is highly recommended to abstain from using normal Recreation right before the beachside event. You can use the extra day to gain stats that can change the outcome of your races. Moreover, do not use Recreation when your trainees’ mood is at Great, as doing so has no effect whatsoever, except for wasting an entire day.
