Minigames
The game has four different Minigames.
One of them allows the player to use all of their accumulated steps to fill up a globe. The player is randomly given a location, and their steps are used to make an outline of an object, place or thing. There are three intervals where the Activity Meter will give you a hint as to what you are making, zoom out to see your current progress, and has a chance to play a sound effect of it if it's a animal. If the player runs out of steps, a green flag will be placed at their current location, the camera will zoom out to see your current progress, and the activity meter will make a estimate as to when you'll be done with it. When you return to this game, you'll begin at the green flag, and continue.
Another one of them uses all of the players activity throughout that day to generate power for a little town, with larger activity patterns making more energy. If multiple players/Dogs recorded their patterns for the day, then their activity will also be used. If players/dogs have similar activity at the same time(s), then extra energy will be produced, with a "Sync!" appearing over their heads, and a sound effect being played. At the end, the amount of electricity will be shown out of a 10-star rating. You're able to continue to increase your rating by playing the minigame on the next day(s). If the player(s) stop their streak of adding energy, it will gradually go down within a few days.
A third one is merely a rankings board, showcasing everyone's data (If it's not locked) ranked up. There are 4 options; Total Steps, Steps for that day, Longest activity time and Total Activity Days (Days where you connected the activity meter to the game).
