Minigames

Minigames are small games that 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.

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

Agility Minigames
There are several minigames heavily involving the Agility skill, although they occasionally involve other skills also.


 * Brimhaven Agility Arena - A great Agility trainer for players with moderately high Agility levels.
