Minigames in Steal a Pet and Ride It give players another way to earn Tickets and collect exclusive rewards. There are three activities available: Boss Dodge, Race, and Keep the Cage. Each minigame has different rules, so you will need to use different strategies depending on which one is selected.

Winning these activities rewards you with Tickets, the special currency used in the Ticket Shop. You can exchange them for useful potions, talismans, exclusive pets, titles, and even a special Barn skin. Here is how to win every minigame in Steal a Pet and Ride It, along with the complete list of available rewards and their prices.

How to Win the Boss Dodge Minigame

Boss Dodge is a survival challenge where you must stay alive longer than the other players. A powerful boss stands in the middle of the arena and attacks everyone using different moves, including cage drops, stomps, charges, and golden shockwaves. As the minigame continues, its attacks become more frequent and harder to avoid.

The safest strategy is to stay near the outer edges of the arena. This gives you more time to react when the boss launches attacks from the center. The golden shockwave is especially dangerous, but you can avoid it by jumping over it. Staying far away from the boss makes it easier to see the attack coming before it reaches your position.

Keep these tips in mind during Boss Dodge:

  • Stay near the arena edges: Avoid standing close to the boss unless necessary. The extra distance gives you more time to dodge incoming attacks.
  • Jump over golden shockwaves: This attack spreads outward from the center, so players near the edge have more time to prepare.
  • Watch for charging attacks: The boss can chain its attacks together, making it dangerous to stay too close.
  • Move away when the arena starts breaking: If the outer sections are destroyed, move toward a safe area immediately. Falling off the map means instant elimination.
  • Collect extra lives: You start with three lives, but additional lives can appear around the arena. Collect them when possible to stay in the minigame longer.

You should only approach the boss when the arena’s outer edges are being destroyed or when an extra life appears nearby. After collecting the life, return to the safer outer area as soon as possible.

How to Win the Race Minigame

Race is a competition where players try to reach the finish line before everyone else. Unlike Boss Dodge, your chances of winning depend heavily on your Speed stat. Players who have spent time upgrading their movement speed will usually have a major advantage over those who focus less on training.

One useful trick is to build up your Speed in World 2 before returning to World 1. Since minigames are limited to individual servers rather than being global competitions, you can use your higher Speed stat to gain an advantage over players in a different world.

You can improve your Speed through several methods:

  • Use the Treadmill: Training at the Treadmill in your base gives you Speed with every step.
  • Upgrade your Treadmill: Better upgrades make your training more efficient.
  • Buy better Trails: Trails provide additional Speed multipliers, helping you gain more Speed while training.
  • Ride pets: Certain pets increase your movement speed when equipped.
  • Use Speed Talismans: These provide another way to improve your movement speed.

Besides having enough Speed, you should also pay attention to the power-ups scattered around the racetrack. Mystery boxes appear during the race, and passing through them gives you a random item. Press the E key to activate the power-up you collect.

Some of the available power-ups include:

  • Banana Peel: Place an obstacle that can make other racers lose their momentum.
  • Shield: Protect yourself from incoming attacks.
  • Missile: Launch a projectile toward another player.

Timing is important when using these items. Try to activate offensive power-ups when opponents have limited room to dodge. You should also watch for incoming attacks and complete the quick-time event by pressing the keys shown on your screen. These reactions usually have a short time limit, so stay focused throughout the race.

How to Play the Keep the Cage Minigame

Keep the Cage is the third available activity, although it is selected less often than Boss Dodge and Race. The reason is that its gameplay is quite similar to the regular Steal a Pet and Ride It experience, where players compete to collect cages.

During this minigame, cages will fall across the normal gameplay map. Your objective is to collect as many cages as possible before the activity ends. The player who manages to steal the most cages wins the competition.

Unlike Boss Dodge, you do not need to survive against a boss or avoid dangerous attacks. Instead, focus on moving around the map and collecting cages before other players can reach them. Keep an eye on nearby cages and avoid wasting too much time in areas where there are no available targets.

All Steal a Pet and Ride It Minigame Rewards

Winning minigames gives you Tickets, which are the main currency used to purchase special event rewards. You can also earn additional Tickets by leveling up the event Gamepass.

The Ticket Shop is located in the main lobby, next to the Trail and Talisman shops. It offers several items, including temporary boosts, exclusive pets, titles, and special accessories. Here is the complete reward list and how many Tickets you need to purchase each one.

  • Golden Gorilla Pet – 2,000 Tickets: Provides a 3.3x cash income bonus and gives you 2 additional Tickets for every minigame you ride it in.

Which Ticket Shop Rewards Should You Buy First?

Your choice depends on whether you want to earn more Tickets, improve your regular gameplay progress, or collect exclusive items. If you plan to participate in many minigames, the Ticket Potion and Ticket Talismans are useful options because they can increase your future Ticket earnings.

For players who want better pets and faster progression, Lucky Fill, Ultra Lucky Fill, and the exclusive pets are worth considering. Meanwhile, players who enjoy collecting cosmetics can save their Tickets for the Racer Title, Champion Title, or Champion Barn skin.

The Golden Gorilla is the most expensive pet in the shop, costing 2,000 Tickets. However, its 3.3x cash income bonus and additional two Tickets per minigame make it a useful long-term reward if you can afford it.

Minigames are one of the best ways to collect Tickets in Steal a Pet and Ride It. Boss Dodge rewards players who can avoid attacks, Race favors those with high Speed and good power-up timing, while Keep the Cage focuses on collecting as many cages as possible.

Try to improve your performance in each activity and save your Tickets for rewards that match your goals. Whether you want exclusive pets, useful boosts, additional Ticket income, or the Champion Barn skin, the Ticket Shop has several rewards worth working toward.
