Games are the main focus of Alice in Borderland, and are where most of the major events in the story happen. These are the only way to obtain visas in order to be able to stay at the Borderland. They vary in types, difficulty, and are notoriously deadly towards players. They are created by citizens, prepared by dealers, and played by players.
Overview
First Phase
Games start at evening (6:00PM) and end at midnight (12:00MN). By then, all of the players' visas will be deducted, checked, and if a player does not have a valid visa anymore, they will be lasered.
Second Phase
All twelve games start at noon, and do not close until players clear the game.

| Spades | Strength | Spade games |
| Diamonds | Intelligence | Diamond games |
| Hearts | Psychology | Heart games typically toy with the player and make them doubt their trust in themselves or other players, and they typically make the player feel guilty after clearing the game. |
