Minigames



Minigames (formerly known as Activities) are small games in which player(s) set out to complete a certain objective. These games sometimes allow players to gain experience and items. They are identified with a red star icon on the map. Minigames can be repeated, unlike quests or miniquests which can only be completed once. In the Mage Arena minigame, Kolodion cannot be refought after defeating his fourth form, but the arena itself can still be used afterwards. All minigames used to require membership, although now a small number are available to free-to-play players.

All the minigames currently available in RuneScape are listed below, each with a short description and a link to the main article.

Minigames
Minigames are classified as either Safe or Dangerous depending on whether items are or are not kept on death.

Safe
There are two types of safe minigame: safe combat, and no combat. Minigames with safe combat will see players fight monsters or other players, and if/when they die they will respawn in a designated area in the minigame with all their items. Minigames with no combat have no monsters or player-versus-player areas, so players cannot be killed - however, if players are poisoned outside the activity area, and then do not cure themselves when entering the area, they can still die from the poison. In such cases, players will receive a gravestone. Some minigames can also be dangerous while travelling to it, while safe inside. Before the Wilderness and Free Trade update, going to minigames located in the Wilderness, such as Fist of Guthix and Clan Wars, could be dangerous, as there were Revenants roaming the Wilderness. Revenants were removed on 1st of February, because the Wilderness was made PvP again.

Dangerous
Items will be lost upon death, and depending on the minigame, you may or may not get a gravestone.

Player versus player/monster
These minigames involve the use of combat skills to fight players or monsters.

Trivia

 * Minigames were renamed activities in March 2010. However, Jagex slowly began to call them minigames again throughout 2011 and as such they are called minigames again.


 * An update in January 2012 caused the death mechanic of the overworld to spill over into minigames, and as a result many players lost millions of gold pieces in equipment when they died in 'safe' minigames, respawned at their default points outside the minigames, and were unable to reenter the minigame to retrieve their equipment from their gravestones. As Jagex did not agree to a rollback, this is the single most damaging bug in minigames in all of RuneScape's history.
