36 New WeChat Mini Games: Start With These 5

Three minutes waiting for a ride, five minutes in a queue — you want something fun without a download. We just expanded our WeChat mini game library from the official charts. Here are the 5 picks from this round of 36 new additions, all one tap from playing.

Sword Forging Master: a fresh theme

The most distinctive newcomer of this batch. Sword-forging themes are rare among mini games, and this one climbed into the upper reaches of both the popularity and bestseller charts on that novelty alone. Details and QR code: Sword Forging Master page.

Ba Le Ge Guan: silly name, real stress relief

The name is a joke in itself, and the gameplay follows the same light, decompressing route — the kind you understand at a glance. Perfect for a boring queue. Entry: Ba Le Ge Guan page.

Tencent Dou Dizhu: the big-studio option

Our library now carries several Dou Dizhu versions. Tencent Dou Dizhu's edge is its publisher and its real-player matchmaking pool — a safe pick when you want a game that starts anytime. Entry: Tencent Dou Dizhu page.

Subway Parkour and Talking Tom Parkour: the runner twins

Runners are the ultimate spare-moment genre: rounds of a few minutes, controls of dodge and jump. Subway Parkour is the genre's familiar face, Talking Tom Parkour brings a classic IP. Both joined in this round — pick by feel.
