Minigame

There are several Minigames within the Sandtail Desert locations. Participation in these quests is optional, but they unlock various mice that can't be caught otherwise, and allow hunters to collect Garden Essences at a faster rate. Each game appears as part of the Heads-up Display of the particular area, and involves the use of Charms that can only be purchased in that location. Each game also causes entries to be logged in the Hunter's Journal. For most areas, it is possible to leave the location and hunt elsewhere, and have the same game state on return. The exception is in the Sand Dunes, where the minigame is triggered randomly, but that is also the only game where no resources are expended to start the game.
