“Now here's a big mystery! The Green Space! Land on one to unleash a special event!”

—MC Ballyhoo, Mario Party 8

The Event Space (also known as a Question Mark Space, a Happening Space, a Green Space, or a ? Space) is a green space with a question mark on it typically found on the various game boards in the Mario Party series. Ordinarily, they activate special board-specific events that can change the outcome of a turn or even a whole game. These spaces can be sometimes positive, and sometimes negative, depending on which event is tied to them.

In Mario Party 3's Duel Mode, landing on a Happening Space causes a roulette to appear with three random events. In the Mario Party 4 Flash game, it prompts the player whether they want to play a minigame. The player can choose to accept or decline the offer. In Mario Party 8, the shape of the space differs depending on the board, including the tutorial map. In Mario Party: Island Tour, they appear in Shy Guy's Shuffle City, and trigger an event wheel; two also appear in Bowser's Peculiar Peak, and when one is landed on, it launches the player to the other. In addition, in most games in the series, a Bonus Star is awarded to the player that lands on more of these spaces than any other player at the end of the game.

In Mario Party 10, Event Spaces only appear in the amiibo Party mode. When landed on, they trigger a roulette that has a random positive effect on the player.

The Event Spaces return in Super Mario Party. Unlike previous games, Event Spaces now have an exclamation mark, and landing on one triggers a specific event on each different board.
