Complete homebrew D&D minigames series! Free to use for anyone and happy DMing! Game info under the cutoff!
Chalice of Sages:
A glass chalice is placed on the table with three gold coins floating in ale. If you manage to remove the coins without spilling a single drop of ale, you win. There is a small cup on top of the chalice on a precarious axle that will spill at any tipping. Each time a player fails, more gold is added to the cup when it is refilled. Winner takes all gold.
The Rings:
Players are offered an assortment of weapons with different damage sets, individual ACs and HPs based on the type of weapon. The goal of the Rings is to break the other person's weapon. By breaking the other person's weapon, they advance to the next ring. Visible magic is not allowed, but players and NPCs can do more stealthy shenanigans like hidden traps, silent hexes, and etc.
Triple Pantheon:
Players have four different drinks. Ireye: DC 10 (1 gp), Libeye: DC 14 (2 gp), Invieye: DC 17 (3 gp), and Fausteye: DC 20 (4 gp). Each drink takes a Con check. One fail: -2 on con checks. Two fails: Add disadvantage. Three fails: Unconcious. The first to 21 gold wins.
Play the Fool:
Each player writes a fact about their character on a physical piece of paper, and DM places them in a cup or bowl. The DM mixes them up and then reads them. The characters bet up to five GP on which character it could be. If more than half are tricked, GP is split between those that guessed right and the author. You can choose to bet only 1 GP if you are uncertain. The one with the most gold wins!
Relic Hunter:
Players are divided up into four teams, with the ideal number being 12 in total so there are three on each team. At the start, all participants are given non-lethal weapons and a strip of parchment that is attached to one of their shoulders using a wax seal. It is strictly forbidden to obstruct the view of this parchment. The game is set in a circle of varied terrain cut into four quadrants. In the center is a statue with four removable pieces, called ‘relics’. Each team is given one relic and must place it in a single stationary, visible location. The person who places the greatest number of relics back into the statue wins. If the piece of parchment attached to you is removed in any way, you are out of the game. You can only return your team's assigned relic at the end of the game.
Assasins Mark:
The group is each given a glass with a dagger-like bottom. Each player rolls initiative and hides the number. They must bet on who will hit the target first, aka highest initiative, and throw the glass dagger to the name (or wanted poster, if appropriate) of the character. They must make both a Dex and a Strength check. The Dex check must be above 10, but the strength check must be below 10. If you pass the Dex but not the Strength, the glass will shatter. If you pass the Strenth but not the Dex, you miss the target. Each hit is 5 points, and each correct guess is 1 point. The person with the most points at the end of three rounds wins a reward of the DMs choice!
