Minigame

Minigames are either competitive or cooperative "mini missions" located within hidden outposts, or battles that have no bearing on the plot nor do they advance the story line of the Guild Wars campaigns. Some are added to the game for special events such as anniversaries, and some correspond to real world holidays such as Wintersday for the winter holidays, Dragon Festival for the Lunar New Year and Halloween. Rewards offered for competing in these games range from items, such as masks, "custom- skinned" weapons, holiday treats, novelties, gamer points, and Balthazar Faction.
