Official launch log, achievements, and v2.0 notes checked Aug 16, 2026
Quick answer

Machine Party launched with 15 minigames. The normal objective, controls, and failure state change between rounds, so there is no one universal “how to win” rule. Steam names 13 rounds through achievements; two additional official challenge descriptions leave their round names unstated. This guide keeps those evidence limits visible instead of turning achievement feats into invented rulebooks.

01 / CURRENT INDEX

THE 15-CLUE LIST.

The list is ordered by the current Steam achievement display, not by difficulty or story sequence. “Confirmed objective” means only the achievement condition Steam publishes; it does not claim to be the round's standard win condition.

Round named by Steam Official name not displayed
  1. 01

    Firearm Factory

    Named on Steam

    Achievement: Quick draw! — kill someone who finished assembling a gun before you.

    Confirms firearm assembly and a post-assembly attack opportunity; it does not explain the full input sequence.
  2. 02

    Stable Footing

    Named on Steam

    Achievement: Mind the gap. — survive until only 10 tiles remain.

    Confirms disappearing tiles and a survival milestone; it does not establish how tiles are removed.

    Achievement: Catch this! — knock someone off by throwing a crate at them.

    Confirms throwable crates, platforms, and player interference.
  4. 04

    Lethal Rebound

    Named on Steam

    Confirms hacksaw hazards and pushing; the displayed text does not state whether all 15 must happen in one round.
  5. 05

    Chisel Gauntlet

    Named on Steam

    Achievement: Flourished Memories — survive until the maximum number of cube segments are removed.

    Confirms a changing cube and late-round survival state; exact shaping controls remain undocumented here.
  6. 06

    Minefield challenge

    Official name unshown

    Achievement: Leg it! — reach the end of the minefield without using sonar.

    Steam confirms a minefield, an endpoint, and optional sonar. It does not display the round's name in this achievement text.
  7. 07

    Wrong Way

    Named on Steam

    Achievement: Stairmaster — take 50 correct steps in a row.

    Confirms a correct-versus-incorrect step sequence; it does not reveal the cue-reading method.
  8. 08

    Cigarette challenge

    Official name unshown

    Achievement: Full Pack — smoke a total of 20 cigarettes.

    The action is official; the round name and whether this total spans multiple sessions are not stated in the displayed text.
  9. 09

    Inside Job

    Named on Steam

    Achievement: About those TPS reports. — infect someone within three seconds of receiving the syringe.

    Confirms a syringe handoff and infection action; hidden roles or broader scoring are not claimed.
  10. 10

    Tunnel Hazard

    Named on Steam

    Achievement: This is my hole. — win by taking the last nook.

    Confirms contested nooks and a final-space win state; it does not define the timing window.

    Confirms a timed meal-completion challenge; this replaces the old generic “pea eating” label with the Steam-displayed round name.
  13. 13

    Spinebreaker

    Named on Steam

    Achievement: Dodge this! — throw the device with under one second left on its timer.

    the Filter

    Named on Steam

    Achievement: Just another day at the job. — win a round with 100% accuracy.

    Confirms accuracy tracking and a perfect-round condition; Steam's displayed title uses “the Filter.”

02 / LOCAL MODE DIFFERENCES

WHAT CHANGES
ON ONE SCREEN?

Most simulations keep their online mechanics in Local Mode. The official v2.0 announcement calls out the following presentation changes so two to four people can share one display. These are interface and camera adaptations—not new win conditions.

MinefieldGroup-follow camera

Framing responds to the distance between players.

Chisel GauntletShared or split view

The screen arrangement changes when the jumbotron is involved.

Duck HuntHunter / runner split

Runners receive wider framing that follows their spread.

Inside JobLocal split-screen

The round received a display adaptation for couch play.

the FilterLocal split-screen

The simulation received dedicated local-view behavior.

Firearm FactoryWorkbench ingredients

Each workbench shows ingredients without relying on the factory's lower display.

Need the setup?

See the local couch co-op guide for controller count, lobby steps, Custom Shuffle, and current v2.1.1–2 fixes.

Achievement condition ≠ full rules

A Steam achievement usually identifies a special feat: survive unusually long, use a risky timing window, or accumulate actions across multiple rounds. It can reveal a mechanic without explaining the default objective. That is why this page gives each official condition, then separately states what remains unknown.

Why there are no 15 thin guide pages yet

Publishing one shallow URL per title would repeat the same incomplete evidence and weaken the site. This index owns the broad Machine Party minigames intent. A challenge earns its own guide only when its exact controls, normal win/failure state, common mistakes, and version date can be verified.

04 / EXPANSION RULE

WHICH GUIDE COMES NEXT?

Search Console—not guesswork—will decide. If queries such as Machine Party Firearm Factory, Stable Footing guide, or Table Manners begin earning repeated impressions, the matching entry can become a dedicated, source-checked page.

  1. Demand appears.
    A specific round name receives recurring search impressions or clear community questions.
  2. The live round is verified.
    The objective, controls, elimination state, and common mistakes are checked against current gameplay.
  3. The page adds unique value.
    It must contain more than the achievement text already available here.
  4. The index stays canonical.
    This page remains the complete roster and links to every deeper guide.

05 / COMMON QUESTIONS

MINIGAME FAQ.

How many minigames are in Machine Party?

The developer's July 30 launch log says the team made 15 minigames. The Steam store independently shows 15 achievements.

How do you win every Machine Party minigame?

There is no single win rule across the roster. Start each round by identifying the current objective, controls, immediate hazard, and scoring or survival state. Use the round decoder for that first scan. The achievements listed here are optional feats and should not automatically be treated as normal win conditions.

Are all 15 minigame names confirmed?

No. Thirteen names appear directly in Steam achievement descriptions. The minefield and cigarette conditions are official, but those two descriptions do not display their round names.

Which minigames change in local co-op?

The v2.0 announcement documents local-display or workbench changes for Minefield, Chisel Gauntlet, Duck Hunt, Inside Job, the Filter, and Firearm Factory. The current player limit remains two to four.

Does every minigame have one achievement?

The game has 15 minigames and 15 Steam achievements, and the achievement set covers 13 named rounds plus two other challenge descriptions. That strongly suggests broad roster coverage, but neither source explicitly promises a one-achievement-per-minigame mapping. We therefore present “15 achievement clues,” not an invented one-to-one rule.

Why do some guides online say there are 16?

The developer's launch log is the primary source and states 15 minigames. A video may count story simulations, variants, or menu entries differently. This wiki uses the developer's count unless a later official update changes it.
