I'm wanting to make a map mostly for the use of mini games and such.
I know about spleef (and fire spleef), but wanted to learn or come up with more.
what spleef is, to those that don't know, is a minigame, where you make a decently deep pit, with a ornate design on the bottom, water pit, or if your sadistic, a lava pit. above that, you make a flat surface to cover it up. you make it with a quick to destroy block, like snow, or in fire spleef, wool (and you use flint and steel). players quickly try to destroy the blocks under their opponent, and not fall themselves. last miner standing wins.
Anybody know of any others? or have any ideas?
I'm starting to have an idea about snowballs and saddled pigs...hmm.
EDIT: this is the 360 edition! we don't have many functions that are required for a number of the games being mentioned
Games list so far:
Spleef (of course)/ fire Spleef
Hunger games (not exactly what i was looking for, but thanks. was looking for stuff that could be place in a world, not take a whole world.)
Shoot-the-mob (purplemonkey's game)
Trouble in Miner town (or terrorist town...but I like mine better)
Mazes, and timed Mazes
PVP areanas
Fix-the-contraption
mob areanas
If you posted a game on here, and it's not listed, you need to explain it! I'm not a super-miner, and know every function and exploit of ever mob, block, and entity.
use the mobs riding mobs feature in 1.5 and make flying minecarts by putting a minecart on a bat and then like maybe you have to shoot the opponents minecart with a bow and arrow and they would fall and die or something.
My friend and I came up with a fun game where you line up a bunch of dispensers on a wall, fill them with eggs, then have a solid wall opposite the dispensers, where baby chickens will spawn and the goal is to shoot chickens before they hit the lava underneath them. Another idea now that we have spawn eggs would be to wire the button that launches the chickens to dispensers on the opposite wall and fill it with chicken spawn eggs so that they just fall. The downside to that though is it's not random and you know a chicken will come out of each one, whereas if you used regular eggs there would be some that wouldn't spawn chickens. Maybe for fun have a random pig spawn egg and have that give you bonus points if you can kill it. Here's how it would look (the furnace is a dispenser, the feather is a chicken spawned from the egg being shot, and the bow is the player with the bow):

EDIT: the spaces aren't in the final post, so imaging the cobblestone on top, the feather, the bow, and the cobblestone underneath it to the right a little more
Edit 2: I added white boxes to make the spacing a little better.
with the new update allowing you to turn off death messages you can create a Trouble in Terrorist Town map based on the popular game mod. The only problem bieng one person would need to be a sort of admin to tell others whether they are innocent, traitor or a detective.
You can always build a small arena with dispensers and floor switches (pressure plates) to have hand-to-hand combat with flying arrows(or flame charges now) in. There's also a bunch of ways to make a maze with traps, both small ones and larger ones, so it's up to you dude, lots of options, just depends on the time you got.
Timed parkour obstacle courses, archery range, mob arena, ender pearl throw contests, "Fix-The-Contraption", boat battles, and... Well, that's all I can think of at the moment.
For ender pearl throw contests, you just set up various sized targets laying on the ground, set up a point system, then make a platform overlooking the target area to throw from.
For "Fix-the-Contraption" you set up two redstone mechanisms, whether simple or unnecessarily complicated, as long as they are identical to each other. Then go in and mess it up somehow, whether that's removing some redstone or a torch, or flipping a repeater around, you just have to break it. Then set up a chest by each contraption with all the redstone supplies one might need to repair it. After that, get two people that don't know how it's broken, start a timer, and see who can fix it first.

Hey, some great ideas!...now explain most of them -.-
Snow golem races
Knockback
Ones I'm not sure would work to well, without features from PC
Super craft brothers
Archery range (it could work...but a button in the middle, awsome.)
Teamdeath match (would love colored armour for it)
good ideas people. but any ideas for something quick and easy? (quick and easy to play. don't mind long setup.)

Watching Snow Golems race from point X to point Y.
You can get creative with where and how.
Stay fluffy~
so, sitting there, watching a snow golem wander slowly...fun
Or....
Sheep.
Speed II Potion.
Regen II Potion.
Poison II Potion.
Enjoyment.
Stay fluffy~
with....no difference
Maybe for an AxB area covering race, but not a straight line, eww. ._.
Animals in a spaz attack, however, would go nuts.
Stay fluffy~
