Machine Party contains a collection of standalone violent party games with varied mechanics and control schemes. Official pre-launch material gives examples, but does not provide a complete named list or detailed rules. We will only add dedicated pages after checking the live round.
01 / OFFICIALLY SHOWN
CONFIRMED EXAMPLES
Competitive pea eating in secrecy
The April reveal announcement describes a game in which players competitively eat peas “in secrecy.” It does not publish an official minigame title, exact input sequence, scoring rule, or loss condition, so those details remain unfilled here.
Smoking cigarettes at high speed
The same official post mentions a speed-smoking challenge. The developer's general content warning covers frequent gory results from losing, but the exact failure sequence for this round still needs direct verification.
Assembling a firearm first
The reveal also asks whether players are best suited for assembling a firearm before their friends. That confirms an assembly/race concept, not a complete rulebook.
02 / DESIGN
WHAT CHANGES BY ROUND
The official release-date announcement says the finished game grew from an early five-minigame test and developed into a wider set of control schemes, mechanics, and violent executions. That means a useful guide must document every round separately.
- Objective: what the round asks each player to complete.
- Inputs: the controls shown for keyboard, mouse, or controller.
- Failure state: what causes elimination or loss.
- Information: what is public, hidden, timed, or revealed late.
- Interference: whether and how players can sabotage each other.
03 / WIKI STANDARD
HOW A GUIDE GETS ADDED
- Record the exact on-screen title.
We will not turn a trailer description into a guessed minigame name. - Play or review complete round footage.
A cinematic trailer is not enough to establish controls or strategy. - Separate rules from tactics.
Rules must be repeatably observable; tactics can be labeled as player advice. - Attach a version date and sources.
Patches can change timings, inputs, and balance. - Link the finished page from this index.
Until then, the entry stays an evidence note rather than a thin “guide.”
04 / NOT YET CLAIMED
WHAT WE WILL NOT GUESS
We do not yet claim the total number of launch minigames, their official names, the full progression structure, or exact controls. Publishing an invented list would be fast—but harmful to players and search trust.
If you have a screenshot or recording from a complete round, it can be checked against the live build and converted into a proper rules page.
