- Paper gluttons.
- Jubilant animals and good omens.
- Running on rainbow clouds.
The first mini-games will open after completing the first story mission, the subsequent ones will open as new stages of the event begin.
Paper gluttons
Paper Gluttons is a test of wits in which players will have to take part in “paper theater” scenes. Controlling the main characters, Goba and the rabbit Yuegui, lead them across the playing field to the culinary ingredients to prepare a dish. On the way, the little chefs will encounter various obstacles and puzzles, which they have to overcome and solve in a limited number of moves.
In the later stages of the challenge, Gobe and Yuegui will have to work together, and players will have to switch between characters to solve a series of difficult puzzles and collect missing food items.
Read a separate walkthrough guide Paper gluttons.
Jubilant animals and good omens
Jubilant animals and good omens - a cooperative test of speed. During the games, play the Ushou dance with friends or random players to earn points and receive valuable rewards. The test stages take place according to one of three scenarios, which differ from others in special rules and mechanics:
- "Flow of Abundance" - the simplest test in which you have to collect “Abundance” on the playing field. You can collect coins either with the selected character or in the form of Ushou, which allows you to move faster and push away other players.
- "To the top!" - is a test during which you need to climb onto marked platforms that periodically appear on the playing field. In Ushou Tolker form, occupy the marked squares and push other players out of them to rise to the top of the rankings.
- "Luck, come!" will require players to react quickly. The Sharp Spirit mode will periodically launch on the playing field, taking away HP points from players. To avoid its effects, stay in the marked safe areas and push other players out of them with the Ushou Punch. The more health you have left at the end of the test, the more points you can get for completing it.

The Rainbow Cloud Run is a speed test in which you have to go through prepared routes against the clock. As a golden carp, navigate through the air with exploding fireworks and collect jade lotus lanterns to reach the required number of challenge points.
