NOVA ADMIN
Choose the score players must reach and a reward from 5–10 tickets. Each player can claim each exact challenge once.
AIM TRAINER 2.0
Hit targets before they move. Smaller targets score more. Build a combo without missing, and watch for the gold bonus target.
SPEED TEST
Wait for the arena to turn green, then tap instantly. Jump too early and you get a false start. Five rounds decide your average.
BRAIN TRAINER
Watch the neon pads light up, then repeat the pattern. Each successful round adds one more step.
QUICK CATCH
Catch the falling energy orbs before they hit the bottom. Blue is +1, purple is +2 and gold is +5. Miss too many and your streak disappears.
NOVA ARENA BRAWL
Battle through a colourful top-down arena with cover, bushes, bot personalities and a rechargeable NOVA SUPER. Dodge enemy shots, use walls tactically and build a KO streak.
FIRST-PERSON 3D-STYLE RANGE
Step into a realistic perspective shooting range. Track moving targets at different distances, aim with the crosshair, manage your magazine and build an accuracy streak.
Mini games stay separate from official NOVA XP, wins and arcade records. Ticket Challenge rewards are the exception: beat the displayed target and the earned tickets are added to your NOVA account.
