** There have been whole groves of EpilepticTrees over how almost every arbitrary number in the series is somehow related to 7.

Additionally, there are seven ''beta'' "Sevii Islands" that are not accessible during normal gameplay.
** ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Pokémon Emerald Version]]'' introduces Gym Leader-like individuals known as the seven Frontier Brains, each of whom heads a unique battling facility. To attain success in said facilities, one must repeatedly win by defeating sets of seven Trainers in a row. There are a few exceptions, though.

** The following games have exactly seven dungeons/stages each:
*** ''VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink'': Seven palaces across all of Hyrule. The first six have statues onto which the sacred crystals have to be deposited in order to dispel the barrier protecting the entrance to the seventh, where the Triforce of Courage awaits.
*** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'': The first two dungeons are tackled to earn the Goddess Pearls (Dragon Roost Cavern and Forbidden Woods), the next two are tackled to find the Master Sword and then finally rescue Link's sister (Tower of the Gods and Forsaken Fortress respectively), the next two are tackled to awaken the new Sages and empower the Master Sword (Earth Temple and Wind Temple), and finally the final dungeon to confront Ganondorf and save Zelda (Ganon's Tower).
*** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'': The game combines the trope with RuleOfThree, as Link embarks on a journey across the first three dungeons (Skyview Temple, Earth Temple and Lanayru Mining Facility) to find Zelda's whereabouts, then the next three dungeons (Ancient Cistern, Sandship and Fire Sanctuary) to upgrade the Goddess Sword into the Master Sword, and finally the seventh dungeon (Sky Keep) to find the three fragments of the Triforce and destroy The Imprisoned.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'': Seven Zora eggs to retrieve. The number is relevant because ''all seven'' must be grouped together so they can hatch. For the same reason, the song the newborn Zora children teach to Link to cure Lulu's disphonia and enter the Great Bay Temple has seven musical notes in its chorus.
** In the ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames Oracle of Seasons]]'', there is a secret that requires the player to find 777 Ore Chunks.
* ''VideoGame/LaytonsMysteryJourneyKatrielleAndTheMillionairesConspiracy'': The eponymous millionaires are a group of seven wealthy individuals known collectively as the Seven Dragons. Each of them is involved in one of the cases Katrielle investigates (from the second to the eighth), though they're all good characters. They ''do'' hide a dark secret, though it's more of a major regret they share, and isn't revealed until the final chapter.
* ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'' references ''VideoGame/Killer7'' with the Lovikov Balls, as there are 49 of them in total (7 x 7), seven are required for a new ability, of which there are seven as well (each of them based on one of Emir's personalities from ''[=Killer7=]''). Also, one of the Dark Side powers are enabled when the jackpot (which appears every time an enemy is killed) hits 777. In ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes2DesperateStruggle'', both training courses in Ryan's gym have seven levels each.
* In the backstory of the ''Franchise/DragonAge'' games, Chantry lore claims that the Blight appeared on Thedas when seven ancient Tevinter Magisters traveled to the Golden City of the Maker in an attempt to steal his power. Their invasion of the City corrupted it into the Black City, and they returned to Thedas as the first Darkspawn. [[spoiler:The Chantry's lore is all but confirmed in the VideoGame/DragonAgeII DLC "Legacy" with the appearance of Corypheus, one of the original Magisters, who acts as the FinalBoss.]] Each magister corresponded to one of the seven old gods, which means there should be seven blights. Possibly subverted, as there is speculation InUniverse to the existence of an eighth old god.
* The fifth case of ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney'' features a police ID that is all 7's. [[spoiler:That ID belongs to [[DaChief Police Chief]] Damon Gant, the murderer of both the current case and the SL-9 Incident.]]
* The number seven is huge in ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss''. Seven fonons for seven elements. Seven fonstones. Six party members, but Mieu makes seven companions, while Asch is something of the seventh playable character. Six God Generals, but their leader makes seven antagonists. Overlaps with ArcNumber.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', the monsters need the power of seven human souls in order to break the barrier keeping them underground. They already have six of them when the player character stumbles into their kingdom...
* ''Videogame/FallenLondon'': [[ArcWords Seven is the Number]]. What does this mean? It's not entirely known. But there are more than a few ominous events where the number is relevant, and usually not good news. [[spoiler:Especially when it comes to Mr. Eaten's name; there are always a number of horrible acts you must commit on yourself, and that number is always seven. [[BodyHorror Seven are the scars]] [[WoundThatWillNotHeal that will not heal]]. [[GoMadFromTheIsolation Seven are the chains that weigh on Seeker's minds]]. [[DamagedSoul Seven are the stains that mark their soul]]. And at the end, there are seven [[ArtifactOfDoom candles]] they must collect]].
* ''VideoGame/Idolish7'' The titular idol group has 7 members
* In the mobile phone game ''VideoGame/LoveNikkiDressUpQueen'' the game's world, Miraland, has 7 nations (Apple Federal, Lilith Kingdom, Cloud Empire, Pigeon Kingdom, North Kingdom, Republic of Wasteland, and Ruin Island), all with their own distinct fashion styles.
* ''VideoGame/CerealSoup'': The creationist god Prideweaver not only had [[MassiveNumberedSiblings seven sisters]], but also had seven sons, with each one being raised by their aunts.
* ''VideoGame/SilentHope'' has seven heroes, with a total of seven different fighting styles, and each of them being a color in the seven-colored rainbow.
* The ''VideoGame/TrailsSeries'' has the number seven as a major thing throughout the franchise. From the seven elements of Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Time, Space, and Mirage, to the Seven Sept-Terrion the [[AncientConspiracy Ouroboros]] members have been trying to look for.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky'' introduces the seven Bracer Guild ranks that start from F which the lowest, all the way to S rank which is the highest ranked bracer that it's supposed to be a secret to the public. [[TheHero Estelle]]'s father is one such member who is in the S rank. ''Sky the 3rd'' adds [[AnotherDimension Phantasma]], which has seven planes.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsFromZeroAndTrailsToAzure'', specifically ''Azure'', introduces the seventh Anguis of Ouroboros, Arianrhod who's also known as "[[RedBaron The Steel Maiden]]".
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel'' gives us the main characters of Class VII, the seven floors of the Old Schoolhouse, the [[HumongousMecha Seven Divine Knights]], and TheHero Rean Schwarzer who specializes in the seventh form of the [[FantasticFightingStyle Eight Leaves, One Blade]] style.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsIntoReverie'' gives us the seven floors of the mysterious Reverie Corridor where the characters get unwillingly dragged into.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsThroughDaybreak'' plays with this trope in that there are eight Genesis artifacts that are missing and that Agnès hires [[TheHero Van Arkride]] to find them. At the end of the game however, only ''seven'' of these artifacts are recovered with the final artifact being saved for a SequelHook.
* In ''VideoGame/UncleAlbertsMagicalAlbum'', the player must collect seven statuettes to get to the treasure and save Tom.

*** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'': The first two dungeons are tackled to earn the Goddess Pearls (Dragon Roost Cavern and Forbidden Woods), the next two are tackled to find the Master Sword and then finally rescue Link's sister (Tower of the Gods and Forsaken Fortress respectively), the next two are tackled to awaken the new Sages and empower the Master Sword (Earth Temple and Wind Temple), and finally the final dungeon to confront Ganondorf and save Zelda (Ganon's Tower).
*** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'': The game combines the trope with RuleOfThree, as Link embarks on a journey across the first three dungeons (Skyview Temple, Earth Temple and Lanayru Mining Facility) to find Zelda's whereabouts, then the next three dungeons (Ancient Cistern, Sandship and Fire Sanctuary) to upgrade the Goddess Sword into the Master Sword, and finally the seventh dungeon (Sky Keep) to find the three fragments of the Triforce and destroy The Imprisoned.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'': Seven Zora eggs to retrieve. The number is relevant because ''all seven'' must be grouped together so they can hatch. For the same reason, the song the newborn Zora children teach to Link to cure Lulu's disphonia and enter the Great Bay Temple has seven musical notes in its chorus.
** In the ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames Oracle of Seasons]]'', there is a secret that requires the player to find 777 Ore Chunks.
* ''VideoGame/LaytonsMysteryJourneyKatrielleAndTheMillionairesConspiracy'': The eponymous millionaires are a group of seven wealthy individuals known collectively as the Seven Dragons. Each of them is involved in one of the cases Katrielle investigates (from the second to the eighth), though they're all good characters. They ''do'' hide a dark secret, though it's more of a major regret they share, and isn't revealed until the final chapter.
* ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'' references ''VideoGame/Killer7'' with the Lovikov Balls, as there are 49 of them in total (7 x 7), seven are required for a new ability, of which there are seven as well (each of them based on one of Emir's personalities from ''[=Killer7=]''). Also, one of the Dark Side powers are enabled when the jackpot (which appears every time an enemy is killed) hits 777. In ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes2DesperateStruggle'', both training courses in Ryan's gym have seven levels each.
* In the backstory of the ''Franchise/DragonAge'' games, Chantry lore claims that the Blight appeared on Thedas when seven ancient Tevinter Magisters traveled to the Golden City of the Maker in an attempt to steal his power. Their invasion of the City corrupted it into the Black City, and they returned to Thedas as the first Darkspawn. [[spoiler:The Chantry's lore is all but confirmed in the VideoGame/DragonAgeII DLC "Legacy" with the appearance of Corypheus, one of the original Magisters, who acts as the FinalBoss.]] Each magister corresponded to one of the seven old gods, which means there should be seven blights. Possibly subverted, as there is speculation InUniverse to the existence of an eighth old god.
* The fifth case of ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney'' features a police ID that is all 7's. [[spoiler:That ID belongs to [[DaChief Police Chief]] Damon Gant, the murderer of both the current case and the SL-9 Incident.]]
* The number seven is huge in ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss''. Seven fonons for seven elements. Seven fonstones. Six party members, but Mieu makes seven companions, while Asch is something of the seventh playable character. Six God Generals, but their leader makes seven antagonists. Overlaps with ArcNumber.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', the monsters need the power of seven human souls in order to break the barrier keeping them underground. They already have six of them when the player character stumbles into their kingdom...
* ''Videogame/FallenLondon'': [[ArcWords Seven is the Number]]. What does this mean? It's not entirely known. But there are more than a few ominous events where the number is relevant, and usually not good news. [[spoiler:Especially when it comes to Mr. Eaten's name; there are always a number of horrible acts you must commit on yourself, and that number is always seven. [[BodyHorror Seven are the scars]] [[WoundThatWillNotHeal that will not heal]]. [[GoMadFromTheIsolation Seven are the chains that weigh on Seeker's minds]]. [[DamagedSoul Seven are the stains that mark their soul]]. And at the end, there are seven [[ArtifactOfDoom candles]] they must collect]].
* ''VideoGame/Idolish7'' The titular idol group has 7 members
* In the mobile phone game ''VideoGame/LoveNikkiDressUpQueen'' the game's world, Miraland, has 7 nations (Apple Federal, Lilith Kingdom, Cloud Empire, Pigeon Kingdom, North Kingdom, Republic of Wasteland, and Ruin Island), all with their own distinct fashion styles.
* ''VideoGame/CerealSoup'': The creationist god Prideweaver not only had [[MassiveNumberedSiblings seven sisters]], but also had seven sons, with each one being raised by their aunts.
* ''VideoGame/SilentHope'' has seven heroes, with a total of seven different fighting styles, and each of them being a color in the seven-colored rainbow.
* The ''VideoGame/TrailsSeries'' has the number seven as a major thing throughout the franchise. From the seven elements of Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Time, Space, and Mirage, to the Seven Sept-Terrion the [[AncientConspiracy Ouroboros]] members have been trying to look for.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky'' introduces the seven Bracer Guild ranks that start from F which the lowest, all the way to S rank which is the highest ranked bracer that it's supposed to be a secret to the public. [[TheHero Estelle]]'s father is one such member who is in the S rank. ''Sky the 3rd'' adds [[AnotherDimension Phantasma]], which has seven planes.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsFromZeroAndTrailsToAzure'', specifically ''Azure'', introduces the seventh Anguis of Ouroboros, Arianrhod who's also known as "[[RedBaron The Steel Maiden]]".
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel'' gives us the main characters of Class VII, the seven floors of the Old Schoolhouse, the [[HumongousMecha Seven Divine Knights]], and TheHero Rean Schwarzer who specializes in the seventh form of the [[FantasticFightingStyle Eight Leaves, One Blade]] style.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsIntoReverie'' gives us the seven floors of the mysterious Reverie Corridor where the characters get unwillingly dragged into.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsThroughDaybreak'' plays with this trope in that there are eight Genesis artifacts that are missing and that Agnès hires [[TheHero Van Arkride]] to find them. At the end of the game however, only ''seven'' of these artifacts are recovered with the final artifact being saved for a SequelHook.
* In ''VideoGame/UncleAlbertsMagicalAlbum'', the player must collect seven statuettes to get to the treasure and save Tom.
