All 15 Machine Party Minigames

Machine Party is a fifteen-minigame collection built for two to four players on Steam. Mike Klubnika and GDeavid strip away the filler common in party compilations — no lengthy board-game animations between rounds — and replace it with industrial hazards that kill losers on the spot. This page is the master reference for every mode shown in pre-release trailers, Steam screenshots, and the official gameplay reveal.

Use it alongside the minigames hub, category breakdowns like reflex challenges, and the tier list when deciding what to queue in your lobby.

Quick reference table — confirmed modes

Eleven minigames are confirmed by name in Triple-i Initiative footage, launch trailers, and press coverage. The table below follows the order most often seen in marketing. In-game menu sorting may differ after patches.

#	Minigame	Core objective	Primary skill
1	Buzz Saw Room	Survive spinning blades in a cramped floor	Dodging, spacing, pushing
2	Shape Match / Gatling Gun	Recreate the shown block shape before turret fire	Memory, speed under fire
3	Sniper Dodge	Avoid shots while reaching safety; one player may hold the rifle	Timing, pathing, role reads
4	Firearm Assembly Race	Build a weapon before time expires	Dexterity, sequence memory
5	Competitive Pea Eating	Consume peas faster than rivals	Button rhythm, focus
6	Minefield Run	Cross explosives without detonating	Route planning, nerve
7	Train Dodging	Pick the safe door before a train hits	Observation, bluffing
8	Cigarette Smoking Speed Race	Finish smoking before opponents	Pacing, interference reads
9	Steamroller Escape	Outrun a rolling compactor	Sprint timing, corners
10	Escalator Sprint	Climb a downward escalator	Stamina routing, positioning
11	Rock Chiseling	Carve a pattern into stone under timer	Precision, pattern recall
12	Scratch Card Reveal	Uncover cover art while scraping as little foil as possible	Patience, fine motor control

Machine Party Gameplay Reveal

Additional launch modes (~4 more)

Steam store screenshots and the in-game full playlist confirm roughly four additional minigames at launch beyond the eleven named above. Oro Interactive has not published official titles for all of them in trailers or press materials yet. When your lobby rotates into an unnamed mode, read the on-screen objective, watch one elimination to learn the fail state, then queue it again in custom lobbies once your group understands the rules. We will update this page when those modes receive confirmed names.

Do not assume community nicknames from pre-release speculation match final menu labels — verify in your own client after each patch.

Reflex and survival modes

Buzz Saw Room fills the arena with overlapping blade paths. Players circle the floor reading spin patterns; trailers show bodies shoved into saws, so treat personal space as a weapon. Sniper Dodge flips the camera to long-range elimination — runners weave between cover markers while a rifle tracks the slowest mover. Trailers also show rounds where one player anchors with the sniper and others rush tagged shelters; treat that as the same mode family, not a separate game. Minefield Run is pure route choice: one misstep triggers a chain reaction. Train Dodging presents multiple doors; only some open before a locomotive barrels through. Steamroller Escape and Escalator Sprint are classic chase timers — sprint mechanics and lane control decide who reaches the safe zone.

Detailed movement tips live on reflex challenges.

Precision and factory work

Shape Match / Gatling Gun displays a voxel sculpture; fail to replicate it and a gatling turret fires. Firearm Assembly Race turns the floor into an arms bench — grab parts in order faster than friends. Rock Chiseling rewards steady hands: chisel the template before the buzzer without overshooting the outline.

See assembly and precision for input tricks on PC and controller.

Social chaos and mind games

Scratch Card Reveal (called out in pre-release coverage) asks players to identify artwork while removing minimal foil — rushing scrapes can destroy the tell and cost the round. Treat it as a precision-social hybrid: calm hands beat panic mashing.

Sniper Dodge assigns asymmetric roles when one player holds the rifle — hesitation draws fire, and splitting paths forces the shooter to pick targets. Pea Eating looks absurd but plays tense: mash the eat input without choke animations slowing you. Cigarette Smoking Speed Race adds a no-smoking-room twist; finish your smoke fastest or a hidden gun resolves the tie. Train Dodging turns into poker when four players crowd doorways — feint toward one frame, slide to another when locomotive audio spikes.

Psychological reads are covered on social deception.

Playlist strategy for groups

When hosting four-player lobbies, rotate one game from each skill family to keep everyone engaged. Two-player sessions skew harder on reflex modes because half the lobby disappears each round — consult the multiplayer guide for recommended duet-friendly picks.

If your crew sweats achievements, cross-reference this list with achievements — Steam shows fifteen launch badges, which likely map one-to-one with minigames. Finish a full playlist run early in your library time so you learn elimination animations before ranked-style sessions with friends.

Lore and setting

All fifteen games take place inside the Klubnika industrial universe, the same tone as Buckshot Roulette and s.p.l.i.t. Test subjects wear customizable outfits, but the facility treats everyone equally once blades spin up. Environmental storytelling is minimal by design; Klubnika has said the team cut dialogue to preserve pace. You learn lore through death, not cutscenes.

Patch awareness

Machine Party released 30 July 2026 on Steam for Windows and Linux with Vulkan. Oro Interactive may rename modes, rebalance timers, or add variants post-launch. When updates land, check guides and the getting started guide for re-tested notes before trusting old timings.

Controls reminder

Every minigame above uses the same baseline bindings. Confirm keyboard and controller layouts before blaming a loss on input lag — several precision modes punish a single misbound interact key.
