If a wanted to pop up a mini-game during a normal level of my game, is there a good mechanism? Possibilities:

1. Have some hidden area of the game world where the minigame lives, swap camera and controls... somehow? Potential memory issues and architecturally a bit hacky.
2. Freeze the current game, cache its state, load in the mini-game scene, play it, reload the main game, refresh state. Likely performance issues, better code.
3. Some other cunningness I haven't considered?

Thanks!

I would simply use another Scene as the minigame, and then exit it. You could also have say, any benefits from winning or losing the minigame, be communicated back to your main game as well. Like a minipuzzle or a keylock that can open a door for example, like in several major games out there, who "zoom in" to a keylock that you have to pick, etc.
