List of games in Star Trek
Wikimedia list article
The fictional Star Trek universe includes a variety of sports, games, and other pastimes. Some of these fictional recreational activities are closely associated with one race, although they may have gained adherents from other backgrounds. Others thrive on the interaction of different species.
Some of the games below were central to the plot of a single episode, while others were recurring plot elements spanning multiple television series of the Star Trek franchise.
Holodeck games
The holodeck is a facility designed to simulate reality by replicating a wide range of environments. It is commonly found on starships and starbases in the Star Trek series set in the 24th century, i.e. Star Trek: Voyager. While the holodeck is often used for research and training, it is frequently depicted as a source of entertainment.
Some programs depicted in the various Star Trek shows include a Klingon calisthenics program, used heavily by Lieutenant Commander Worf; a park-like setting where Riker first encounters Data in "Encounter at Farpoint"; various 'social' programs, such as a mud-bath and a pool hall; and Jean-Luc Picard's Dixon Hill holonovels.
In Voyager, Seven of Nine is often frustrated by Kathryn Janeway's superior skill at Velocity, a game played in a racquetball-like arena.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “List of games in Star Trek” as wikimedia list article. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7414832. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
