ABOUT THE MINIGAME
The minigame is known as "Guess The Block". As the name suggests, you have to guess the block. However this minigame requires two players. The platform is divided into parts by a red concrete wall for the players, the players must be on either sides of the platform.
There will be 96 random blocks, 48 for one player and another 48 for the other. 96 trapdoors will be placed above the random blocks for identification. After the players start the game, they will have to choose any one block from their opponent's side/territory, and the opponent has to do the same.
After the block is chosen, you have to start asking your opponent the characteristics of their block, for example: "Does your block drop something?" or "Is your block related to gold". The opponent will do the same as well. Once the opponent guesses your chosen block or you guess your opponent's chosen block, you win or the opponent wins.
