All 15 Machine Party Minigames
Every lethal party mode at launch — official names, objectives, and one-to-one Steam achievements
Machine Party is a fifteen-minigame collection built for two to four players on Steam. Mike Klubnika and GDeavid strip away the filler common in party compilations and replace it with industrial hazards that kill losers on the spot. Oro Interactive published the game on July 30, 2026 with online co-op, no public matchmaking, and 18-digit room codes for private lobbies. This page is the master reference for every officially named mode, its core skill, and the Steam achievement tied to it.
Use it alongside the minigames hub, category guides like reflex challenges, and the achievements page when planning hunt nights or teaching newcomers.
Full roster table

Firearm Factory, The Filter, and Chisel Gauntlet slow the pace just enough to feel fair — then execute losers anyway. Just another day at the job. requires a perfect accuracy run in The Filter; Flourished Memories means surviving Chisel Gauntlet until the cube is fully stripped. See assembly and precision for input tricks.
Social chaos and sabotage
Tunnel Hazard, Debris Platforms, Spinebreaker, Table Manners, Inside Job, Forklift Certified, and Smoking Contest reward reading friends and interfering legally. Inside Job asks for an infection within three seconds of receiving the syringe; Debris Platforms wants crate knock-offs for Catch this! Psychology and griefing ethics are covered on social deception.
Playlist strategy for groups
When hosting four-player lobbies, rotate one mode from each skill family so nobody burns out on escalators alone. Two-player sessions skew harder on Duck Hunt and Lethal Rebound because half the lobby disappears each round — consult party sizes for duet-friendly picks.
Run the full fixed-order playlist once early in your library time so everyone learns elimination animations before achievement hunting. Then host custom nights targeting sub-10% badges like Stairmaster, Gluttony, and About those TPS reports.
Achievements and scoring
Steam lists fifteen achievements — one per row in the table above. Cumulative goals (Will it blend?, Full Pack) track progress across multiple sessions; the rest trigger from a single standout round. Gene mutation points from scoring and mutations are separate from Steam badges.
