The Yakuza series is infamous for its massive selection of minigames for players to stumble upon in its various open worlds. While playing Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, we’ve discovered dozens, and they’re pretty difficult, yet essential, to track down.
Minigames are at the heart of any game in the Yakuza series, and we’ve really enjoyed ourselves discovering every single one in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Players will need them to help upgrade Ichiban Kasuga’s Personality Sats, but also for 100% completion since there are items and quests tied to all of them. Our favorite is the Miss Match minigame, but we won’t spoil such a wonderful gem for players to find. Instead, we’ve listed where to uncover each minigame so players can learn all about them organically.

Why Do You Need to Play Minigames in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth?
Players must locate and complete minigames in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth because they help boost bonds with various characters and improve Ichiban Kasuga’s Personality Stats. By heading to minigames and completing them while in a party with other characters, players can improve their bond with them, meaning they earn more XP from every battle.
While bonds are useful and should be upgraded, players should really care about the Personality Stats boosts from minigames. There are 106 entries for minigames in the Personality Stats menu, each requiring players to complete a specific minigame and either perform a certain task or engage with the minigame a number of times. Doing so earns Personality Stat increases, giving Ichiban Kasuga huge battle advantages.
