Inves Games

This article is about a series of games in Kamen Rider Gaim.

The Inves Games (インベスゲーム, Inbesu Gēmu) is a game involving the use of Inves which are summoned through the use of Lockseeds. During an Inves Game, both parties summon one or multiple Inves, who then fight each other in a holographic boxing ring. The winner is determined when the Inves of one party defeats the Inves of the other. This game is popular and important, as the Inves Games were started to reflect standings for Teams, as well as settling disputes.

Riders will have to intervene in an Inves Game when a high class Inves appears to wreck havoc searching for undamaged A-Classed Lockseeds from its former owner.

When more Armored Riders appeared, starting with the debut of Baron, the games rules were changed accordingly to allow their presence. This includes a two tier system of games which are called Passes:

• Pass 1: A Rider Motorcycle race.
• Pass 2: Rider Battle and/or Inves Hunt

Triva

• The normal Inves Game are similar to battles from the Pokémon franchise, with the one major difference is that the owners of the Inves have no real control over their creature. An Inves will turn on its owner and any other surrounding people as soon as its owner drops their Lockseed.
