* In the backstory of the ''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.

[[spoiler:The Chantry's lore is all but confirmed in the DragonAgeII DLC "Legacy" with the appearance of Corypheus, one of the original Magisters, who acts as the FinalBoss.]]

** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' (figures) has something interesting happen if a character's HP hits 7777. The Lucky Seven concept continues in the prequel ''CrisisCore'', where getting three Sevens on the DMV (the battle system's slot-machine gimmick) will level up your character.
