• Changing the typical camera view with a Fixed Point Camera to create a unique gameplay view.

• Using Sequencer’s Gameplay Events feature to drive the game mechanic in a mini-game.

• Scripting a Reusable Game Manager in Verse to use with all your mini-games.

Up to 8 players can join a Party Game play session. Mini-games in this tutorial have a max capacity of 4 players, and each game takes roughly 1 and a half minutes to play.
