Playground Minigames

The Playground! field event is a unique field event that sets several  Minigame panels across the board once every 5 turns, and landing upon one triggers a minigame for the player to play. The panels can appear on any panel with exception of  Home panels and when active negate the effect of the panel they are on top of. Thus if a player lands on an  Encounter panel with a minigame panel over it, no encounter with a NPC will occur. There are a total of 4 possible minigames triggered by this panel and each game uses special cards that grant the player an effect or reward upon completion, as seen below.

Match 2

Match 2 is a relatively straight forward minigame. When the player enters the minigame, they will be presented with 8-12 facedown cards. The player begins by rolling a single dice. The player will be shown the amount of cards rolled. So if the player rolls a six, they will be shown 6 cards, likewise if they roll 1, they will only be shown one of the cards. The player then has 3 attempts to match all the pairs. If the player successfully turns over a pair of matching cards, they will be able to continue turing over more pairs. If the player fails, the most recent pair of mismatched cards will flip back over, and 1 attempt will be used up. If the player succeeds, they will receive the effect of the last pair they matched. If the player fails after 3 attempts, they will receive a random card effect, which can either work for or against the player depending on the cards available.

Track the Card

Track the Card is a classic card minigame similar to Match 2. When the player enters the minigame, they will be presented with 4-6 cards. The cards are shown face up for roughly 2 seconds and then flipped face down. The cards then scramble at a steadily increasing speed for around 6 seconds. The player will then need to pick a single card from the resorted cards, and they will receive the effect of whichever card they draw. The player's performance in this game is purely based on skill of the player's eyes, as the last second of the game is the most difficult to keep track of. No matter the amount of cards, the game is challenging, as more cards results in more distractions from the player's card, and less cards results in the cards moving more since there are less of them.

Spin the Wheel

Spin the Wheel is another minigame that plays exactly like it sounds. When the player enters the minigame, they will be presented with a wheel that features 4-8 card effects listed on it. The player will have 10 seconds total to stop the wheel or the game will automatically stop it. The effect under the leaf when the wheel stops will be the one the player receives. Wheels come in 3 different speeds that determine when the player's click will register relative to the pointer leaf at the top of the wheel. The player should try to recognize the speed in the first 5 seconds of spinning and then use the proper action based on it (The rules apply for all wheel sizes)

• Slow speed: Click when the desired item is below the top pointer.
• Moderate speed: Click when the desired item is 90 degrees to the left of the center.
• Fast speed: Click when the desired item is at the bottom of the wheel.

Whack a Poppo

Whack a Poppo is based off of "whack-a-mole" where the player must use Mimyuu's mallet on Marie Poppos dressed in the Rad Poppo color while avoiding Altes and Tomomos. Each Poppo is worth 100 points. If the player strikes an Alte, they will lose half of their points and if a player strikes a Tomomo, they will lose 1/4 of their total points. The higher the player scores, the more likely they are to receive a better effect, however, they may still receive a bad effect.
