Epic Minigames (usually abbreviated as EM) is a game created by TypicalType (Group Owner of Typical Games) and developed with the help from Azarctic and TheSteelEagle. The game allows players to play an assortment of minigames with different maps.
Gameplay
Players have a certain amount of time to complete certain minigames. Players are given 10 coins for winning and an additional five more coins in Pro servers. Players can buy many things from the shop with the coins they get from completing minigames, such as gears, effects, titles, and pets. Players can also complete daily missions to earn items and coins.
Players can also opt to play with friends or random players in Epic Party, a board game-styled gamemode where players can play minigames in a new and fun way, where they will compete to get as many crystals as possible through board game maps to get the top spot.
On some occassions, players are able to earn more rewards through Epic Pass, where they can complete challenges to earn Stars to redeem new rewards through the Epic Pass Star Shop or from the Star progress bar. If players are up for a bigger challenge, they can challenge themselves to compete to get into the weekly and seasonal leaderboards, where players can get various prizes, depending on what place they end up on at the end of the leaderboard time period.
Features
Lobby
The Epic Minigames lobby, built by worthyshiningkazoo, includes a variety of things to do during intermissions between minigames. These include an array of terrain of which to explore, a cannon to shoot yourself to the other side of the lobby, a leaderboard room which features fanart by players, shop stalls for the developers, a small obstacle course, a beach where players can shoot beach balls into the sea via an interactive button, and a lobby train with rails that come in and out of existence.
There are multiple easter eggs in the lobby which include:
- Void room - Drop down behind the pot plant in the far left corner of the leaderboard room
- Camera room - Clip through a certain spot in the wall behind the developer stalls
- Mask room - Drop through a bush next to a campfire near the lighthouse
- Secret room - Click on all five hats scattered around the lobby, then go to the trapdoor opposite the lighthouse
- At 12 AM on your device's time, the secret room has a 50% chance to show an abandoned version of the old lobby. Players will have "not playing" forced on upon entering the abandoned lobby and their main objective is to find a golden key. Players would have to click the key located somewhere in the abandoned lobby then head to the big door. Players would have to click on the lock to open the door and walk through the door. Once done, players would be teleported back to the main lobby and receive a "???" badge.
Daily Missions
Every player is given three missions to complete. Each mission completed gives 30 coins. When a player completes three missions, they will obtain a random effect, gear, or title. If they wish to complete an additional mission, they are required to buy the VIP gamepass.
For more information on daily missions, see Daily missions.
Shop
The shop allows you to buy titles, gears, effects, pets and death effects. It allows the player to freely express themselves through the various options provided.
Update Board
On 18 November 2022, an update board was added next to one of the current minigame boards. It showcases what was added from the last three updates, from new maps and new minigames to new features.
Choice Rains
Choice Rains were added to Epic Minigames on 28 July, 2023 as part of the first of three updates to celebrate Epic Minigames hitting 2 billion visits. Players can choose between coin rains, minigame choice rains and star rains. Once bought, the selected amount of coins/minigame choices/stars will rain down in the lobby, allowing anyone that is in the lobby to pick them up and collect them.
Do note that:
- Buying choice rains is much cheaper than buying directly from the source.
- Star Rains are only purchasable when an Epic Pass season is currently running.

Servers
Current Server Types
There are currently four server types in Epic Minigames: Normal, Pro, Private and Large Servers.
Normal | Normal Servers are the basic servers of Epic Minigames. This type of server can hold up to 12 players. Normal Servers contain all minigames. Winning a minigame grants 10 coins. |
---|---|
Pro | Pro Servers are unlocked once players reached Level 24 and earned the Pro Badge. Pro Servers has all current minigames and can hold up to 12 players. It is similar to Normal Servers but the time limit is shorter in certain minigames and some minigames are harder than the normal version. Winning a minigame grants 15 coins. |
Large | Large Servers can hold up to 36 players. Winning a minigame grants 10 coins to a player like a Normal Server. However, not all minigames are available in the Large Servers as they are being converted for compatibility with Large Servers. Also, in some minigames where only one player could win, the winners are increased to 3 max winners and most Free-for-All minigames are increased to many winners depending on how many players are in the server. |
Private | Private Servers (formerly known as VIP Servers) are a type of server that a player can purchase to play with friends. A Private Server originally costs 100 Robux, which later became free on 8 January, 2021.

Removed Server Types
There were two server types that were removed in Epic Minigames: Massive and Voice Chat servers.
Massive | As part of Epic Minigames's 1 Billion Visits Milestone update (which lasted for two weeks from 2 May, 2020 to 16 May, 2020), 72-player large servers (or also known as Massive servers) were temporarily added for two weeks to celebrate 1 billion visits during the 2-week celebration update.

---|---|
Voice Chat | Voice Chat servers were added to Epic Minigames on 22 January, 2022 due to the surge in suggestions for having a Voice-Chat only server. This server had gears disabled to let the players chat without getting disrupted by gears.
