Steal A Pet And Ride It minigames have three modes: Boss Dodge, Race and Keep the Cage. You earn Tickets by playing, but winning means something different in each one. Boss Dodge is about staying alive, Race rewards Speed and good item use, and Keep the Cage is a scramble to grab the most cages. All three arrived in the 8 November 2026 update.
The lobby votes on which game comes next. After the round, take your Tickets to the shop in the central hub for potions, talismans, pets and cosmetic rewards. Here’s what to do in each mode, including the mistakes that can cost you a win.
How to enter the Steal A Pet And Ride It minigames
Watch for the minigame voting prompt while you’re playing. Pick the mode you want, then follow the on-screen instructions once voting ends. Other players get a vote too, so you won’t always land in your favourite mode. There isn’t a confirmed fixed interval between rounds. Look out for the next prompt instead of expecting one on an exact minute.
These activities sit alongside the usual game of stealing pet cages from sleeping bosses and racing home. You can still train Treadmill Speed, collect pets and upgrade your barn between rounds. The Speed you’ve built is especially useful in Race.
How to win Boss Dodge
In Boss Dodge, the last player standing wins. You start with three lives, and a giant boss attacks the arena with stomps, charges and falling cages. The pace picks up as the round goes on, so keeping those lives is more important than moving around constantly.
Watch for the golden shockwave and jump over it as it reaches you. Keep an eye on the boss’s movement too: if it’s winding up a charge or a cage is about to land, move before the hit connects. You don’t get a prize for fancy dodges, just for being alive at the end.
Don’t camp at the edge for the whole round. It can give you space to see an attack coming, but sections near the outside become dangerous as the arena breaks apart. Move to whichever part of the floor is still safe, even if that means heading closer to the middle. If an extra-life pickup appears, grab it when you can reach it safely, but don’t build your strategy around one spawning.
How to win the Race
The race is simple: reach the finish line first. Your normal Treadmill Speed carries into the mode, so a player who’s spent time training will have an advantage. If you’re consistently at the back, do a bit more Speed training between rounds.
Collect item boxes as you race. They can give you a Banana Peel, Shield or Missile to use against other players. On PC, press E to use the item you’re holding. On mobile or console, use the button shown on your screen. If an incoming attack triggers a quick-time prompt, hit the displayed keys rather than just trying to outrun it.
A clean racing line matters more than grabbing every item box. Don’t cut wildly across the track for a power-up if it’ll slow you down. Save a Shield for when you’re under pressure, and use offensive items when there’s actually someone ahead to hit. High Speed helps, but a badly timed attack or awkward corner can still cost you the race.
How to win Keep the Cage
Keep the Cage puts everyone back on the familiar map as cages fall around the area. Grab as many as you can before the round ends. It’s a competition for the highest cage count, not the usual job of stealing one cage from a sleeping boss and carrying it home.
Go for the cages closest to you first. Chasing one all the way across the map can give other players time to take several nearby. Keep moving, watch where the next cages drop and use your movement Speed to get there ahead of the crowd. Whoever grabs the most wins.
Keep the Cage might not show up often if everyone keeps voting for Race or Boss Dodge. If you haven’t played it yet, watch the next vote rather than assuming it’s locked.
Tickets, placements and the Ticket Shop
You’ll earn Tickets from minigame results, and the event pass can award them too. Spend them in the Ticket Shop near the Trail and Talisman shops in the central lobby. Tickets aren’t the same as the Cash your barn pets generate.
The Ticket Talisman adds one Ticket for placing first, second or third. The Super Ticket Talisman adds two for a top-three finish. Turbo Cheetah and Golden Gorilla are different: their listed bonus comes from riding them in a minigame. The game hasn’t made it clear whether all of these extras stack.
Our Ticket Shop guide covers all 16 rewards and their prices, including the four-Ticket Ticket Potion, 100-Ticket Talisman and 500-Ticket Turbo Cheetah. If you aren’t reaching the top three yet, practise the rounds before spending a lot on a bonus that only works for podium finishes.
Are the minigames a limited-time event?
The Roblox event ran from 8 November and is listed through 10 November 2026. That doesn’t tell us whether the minigames and their shop will stay afterwards. Watch the in-game event screen for the current countdown.
The update also advertised two more World 2 biomes ahead of World 3. They’re normal progression areas, not a fourth or fifth minigame. The three modes covered here are Boss Dodge, Race and Keep the Cage.
Minigames FAQ
Which mode is easiest if your Speed is low?
Try Boss Dodge first if your Speed is low. It rewards timing and surviving the boss’s attacks, while Race depends more on the Speed you’ve trained. Keep the Cage is about collecting quickly, so Speed still helps.
Why can’t you choose Keep the Cage?
The lobby votes on the next game. If it isn’t selected, wait for a later vote rather than assuming there must be a hidden unlock.
Where do you use Tickets?
Spend them at the Ticket Shop in the central lobby, near the Trail and Talisman shops. Check the separate rewards guide for current recorded prices.
