If the Yakuza (now Like a Dragon) series is known for anything amongst the general gaming public, it's known for its elaborate side activities and absurd minigames. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth offers its players a ton of minigames and side activities to try out, including several that really serve as full-fledged games in and of themselves.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth – How to Unlock All Jobs (& How to Change Jobs)
There are nearly 30 different jobs in Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth for players to unlock, but some Jobs are exclusive to specific characters.
Fan-favorites like Karaoke, Batting Cages, classic SEGA games, and numerous gambling-related games return in Infinite Wealth alongside lots of brand-new options, like the expansive DonDoko Island resort, the Miss Match dating app, and a Hawaii-themed Ounabara Vocational School. Check out this list of all minigames in Infinite Wealth to learn where to start each minigame – and the rewards that each offers.
All Infinite Wealth Minigames & Locations
Arcade Games
There are a few Arcades in Infinite Wealth's explorable areas of Japan and Hawaii, and some Arcade Machines can be found outside of dedicated Arcades. The vast majority of activities in an Arcade are essentially emulations of older SEGA titles. In Infinite Wealth, this includes Virtua Fighter 3tb, SEGA Bass Fishing, and SpikeOut. There are also claw machines that reward prizes for Aloha Links friends and party members.
- Where: Sasaki Arcade and GiGO (Isezaki Ijincho), Anaconda Arcade (Honolulu)
- Potential Rewards: None, aside from High Scores
Batting Cages
A staple of the Yakuza and Like a Dragon series, Batting Cages lets our protagonists let off some steam by slamming sluggers.

You can earn points for participating in the Batting Cages, which can be exchanged for various prizes.
- Where: Mirai Batting Center, near Hamakita Park (Isezaki Ijincho)
- Potential Rewards: Points, to spend on minigame-exclusive items
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth – How Long to Beat
It takes around 45 hours to beat Ichiban's first game, Yakuza: Like a Dragon. To beat Infinite Wealth, though, it'll take a lot longer.
Casino Games
The Casino games included in Infinite Wealth include a number of franchise classics, including Blackjack and regular Poker. You can bet money here and win more back, if you're a good player, but it's far from the best money-making method in the game.
- Where: Black Hibiscus (Honolulu)
- Potential Rewards: Cash
Can Quest
Brought back from its predecessor, Can Quest is a minigame that begins just outside the Homeless Camp in Isezaki Ijincho. Like Crazy Delivery, Can Quest sees the player jump onto a bike to take to the streets, though instead of making deliveries, you're collecting Cans to recycle and turn in for petty change. It's not a great way to make money, but Kiryu can take on Can Quest in Chapter 8.
- Where: South of the Homeless Camp (Isezaki Ijincho)
- Potential Rewards: Cash
Crazy Delivery
Crazy Delivery, along with DonDoko Island, is one of the major new minigames added in Infinite Wealth.

Do tricks, collect and deliver food within the time limit, and score Points to spend on Crazy Delivery-exclusive items (including DonDoko recipes).
- Where: Talk to Charlie, near the big tree on Aloha Beach
- Potential Rewards: Points, to spend on minigame-exclusive items

The Driving Range – called Heaven's Golf – can be found in Isezaki Ijincho and offers a similar Points system as the Batting Cages, with its own unique items, for good golfers to earn.
- Where: Heaven's Golf (Isezaki Ijincho)
- Potential Rewards: Points, to spend on minigame-exclusive items
Darts
Darts is a simple minigame, but a minigame nonetheless.

By participating in Darts, players can improve their Bonds with party members.
- Where: Various bars in Honolulu and Isezaki Ijincho
- Potential Rewards: Improvements to Bond level with party members
Dondoko Island
Arguably the biggest addition to a Yakuza or Like a Dragon game in a long time, DonDoko island is essentially a fully-fledged island management simulator that parodies Animal Crossing gameplay systems. In Chapter 6, Ichiban will find himself on DonDoko Island, and is charged to restore it to its former glory as a five-star resort island.
DonDoko island is an enormous game within a game, and it's a bit of a stretch to just call it a minigame. Be prepared to spend dozens of hours harvesting resources, building new furnishings and projects, and making money on DonDoko island.
- Where: Must reach Chapter 6, and progress main story
- Potential Rewards: Tons of various rewards, including Cash, personality boosts, and exclusive items

Sicko Snap
Infinite Wealth already parodies Pokemon with the Sujimon system, so why not parody Pokemon Snap! as well? Sicko Snap is an activity Ichiban can take part in while in Honolulu which lets him snap photos of local "sickos" while riding a Trolley. It's definitely a bit out there, but the Snap Points you get, and prizes that can be earned, make it a minigame worth following through.

Sujimon Battles
Indeed Sujimon are back in Infinite Wealth, and unlike its predecessor, Infinite Wealth Sujimon can actually battle.
