The minigame challenge requirements were increased to maintain proper game balance after minigames became free to play.
What changed and why:
- Minigames went free - Players no longer need to pay to participate in minigames
- Participation surge - Significantly more players began playing and winning minigames
- Higher win rates - With free access, players could attempt games more frequently, leading to more wins
- Balance adjustment - Win requirements were increased to keep challenges appropriately challenging
The reasoning behind the change: When minigames were free, the original win requirements became too easy to achieve quickly. The increased requirements ensure that completing minigame challenges still requires meaningful effort and engagement.
What this means for you:
- More games needed - You'll need to win more minigames to complete these challenges
- Still achievable - The requirements are set to be challenging but fair
- Free to attempt - Since minigames are free, you can play as much as you want without cost concerns
The positive side: Even though you need more wins, the fact that minigames are now free means you can practice and improve without any financial barrier, potentially making you better at the games overall.
Pro tip: Use the free access to your advantage - practice the minigames you're best at and focus your efforts on those for more efficient challenge completion!
