For each Dull or Hex Totem cleansed by any Player, Small Game gains 1 Token: Each Token decreases the Detection cone's angle by 5 °, down to a minimum of 20 °.

Rework: Small Game now works in a similar way to Premonition, giving an auditory warning instead of revealing Auras.
Buff: increased the range to 8/10/12 metres and added the ability to detect Totems and Phantasm Traps.
Nerf: added a cool-down of 15/12/10 seconds.

QoL: with the rework to The Nightmare's power, added the ability to detect Dream Pallets when inside the Dream World.
- However, this does not extend to Dream Snares.

Rework: reworked Small Game to be focused purely on tracking Totems and keeping track of their cleansed numbers.
QoL: Small Game no longer triggers on the Totem the Player is in the process of cleansing.
QoL: Small Game now narrows the cone with each cleansed Totem to increase tracking accuracy.
Change: updated Small Game's icon.

Whenever a Totem is detected within Small Game's Detection cone, this sound cue will play:

Small Game triggers its audio cue on all types of Totems, including Dull, Hex, Boon, and Rekindled Totems.
Small Game's Token-counter cannot exceed 5 Tokens.
- However, its secondary effect will continue to stack, eventually reducing the Detection Cone's radius to 0 °, which renders the Perk unusable from that point onward.
The audio cue that plays whenever a Dull, Hex, or Rekindled Totem is cleansed also plays when other Survivors performed the Cleansing action.

The first iteration of Small Game was only useful in games against The Trapper, as its only effect was to reveal the Aura of his Bear Traps.
- Upon release, this meant there was a 1 in 3 chance (Trapper, Wraith, or Hillbilly) of the Perk being useful in a Trial, which later worsened to just 1 in 5 (Trapper, Wraith, Hillbilly, Nurse, or Shape), before Small Game was reworked in Patch 1.3.0.
Small Game's icon, until Patch 4.7.0, referenced its original effect with its icon displaying a pair of legs stepping over an armed Bear Trap.
