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. To play minigames, you must be a member.

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