# Mini games
## **"Dancing" Mini-game Overview**
“Dancing” is a short mini-game in the **Events Room** (metahut). Users can approach the **dance pole** and initiate the mini-game by pressing & holding **the “G” key** on the keyboard.
* Only 4 users can play at a time. Each player occupies one of 4 slots on the dancing pole.
AIM of the Feature
* More interactions & retention.
* Add dynamic activities in metahuts.
* New sources of AP income.
* Just fun 
### **Gameplay**
When the game starts, the player starts dancing (animation), the camera is locked in a fixed position. Players must **press the key (some Quick Time Event)** shown on the screen **in time** (challenge = timing mechanic) to continue dancing. Each \[successfully] pressed key changes the dancing animation of the player.
* **REWARD:** Each correct move gives the player **+10** **ES\*(combo count)** (engagement score) reward (can be changed). Max. The reward per session is 200 ES.
* **RISK (COST):** 10 Energy\* *(Energy is not integrated yet).*
* **SCORING:** Consequent successful key presses (animation transitions) are recorded as a **combo score.**
* User score is recorded & visible to all players as a leaderboard. **Each metahut keeps its leaderboard (local).**
* The combo score is displayed on the screen (right-down corner).

**Notes**
* All users within the metahut can see playing users on the dance pole (the camera angle is locked only for playing users).
* When users initiate the game, a text notification is shown in text chat (*“@user started “Dance” mini-game in Event Room!”* ).
* In future updates, players can enter dance duels against other users (competition).
{% endhint %}
### **Conditions**
A player must **press the required key in time** (when the **colored circle** is in the white circle) in order to perform successful “transitions” of the dance moves.
**The game does not end until the player stops it manually.**
* **The goal** is to get as high a reward as possible (max. move count is 20).
* **Fail condition:** when a player fails, the speed of the circle and the player’s combo score resets.

{% hint style="success" %}
* Pressing **any key** outside the circle **is not** a **fail condition.**
* Pressing **the wrong key** while within the white circle **is** a **fail condition.**
* Not pressing **the correct key** within the white circle **is** a **fail condition.**
{% endhint %}
### **Progression**
**Time for a key press (QTE) decreases as the player plays longer, making succeeding harder.**
With default speed, at the start, the colored circle reaches the center in 2.5 sec. The speed of the circle increases by 5% with each successful move (starting from 3rd successful move). **Max. The speed gain** is +100% (200% in total).
### **Controls**
* **Start game:** press & hold **“G”** key on dance pole when “party mode” is active (Events Room).
* **Dance moves:** press **the “W, A, S, D”** keys.
* **Exit game:** press & hold the “**Esc**” key.
### **Mini-game UI**
* Circles change colors based on success & failure.
* After each successful key pressing, a motivating animated text is displayed:
* **2nd press - “Combo”,**
* **4th press- “Cool”,**
* **7th press - “Great”,**
* **10th press - “Super!”,**
* **15th press - “Awesome!”**
{% hint style="info" %}
The same text continues to appear **until the combo is broken** or the **next text appears.**
{% endhint %}
### **Visual Effects**
* Visual “burst” effect on every successful animation change.
* *Glowing of avatar (tbd).*
