Minigame Mastery Template in Unreal Editor for Fortnite | Fortnite Documentation

Discover ways to build exciting new minigames with devices and examples that'll help you create your very own Squid Game island. The Minigame Mastery template in Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) focuses on new devices and their settings to create new minigames.

Squid Game features games that often have harrowing consequences. The Squid Game feature set with Fortnite provides the opportunity to recreate your own childhood games with a twist. The design team focused on mechanics and common actions players can perform that are featured in many playground games.

The template has multiple rooms, where you can experience each minigame. Become familiar with scoring points, surviving as long as you can, and multiplayer setups. Minigames are a great way to keep your experience going with opportunities for multiple players to be winners.

Use the template to gain a better understanding of how minigames fit the brand, and create gameplay that resonates with players who are fans of the show. You can use this guide as a companion to the template to dive deeper into the following:

Loading Room

Enter right into the Squid Game world with a theme loading room. Go through each labeled door to learn more about each mechanic. Each room starts with a tutorial corridor followed by a game example.

What games do you remember playing as a child? Hide and seek? Hopskotch? Tag?

How would you play on subverting the innocence of these nostalgic games into something appropriate for Squid Game? Something that’s easy to learn to play but has high stakes.

Room	Gameplay
Progress Based Mesh Device	Learn to swap meshes to create a visual representation of progress with the Progress Based Mesh device. And watch for surprises.
Shove Item	Be quick, the first person to press the button wins but the platform shrinks and others are eager to push you off with the Shove item.
Ddakji and Flying Stone Items	Aim for the targets with Squid Game throwable items and watch your Llama Bank fill up.
Carryable Spawner Device	Carry objects through obstacles, but be careful as the VIP members are determined to eliminate you.
Skilled Interaction Device (Multiplayer)	Don't fall into the lava. Work as a team to pass the multiplayer skill checks and avoid elimination through lava.

The loading room is set up with multiple spawners and best experienced with multiplayer. You can use multiplayer previewing to help test out some of the rooms.

Each room uses assets from the theme galleries to capture the aesthetics of Squid Game. Keep the design elements in mind as you explore ideas for your Squid Game island. To learn more about these galleries, see Working With Squid Game Islands.
