The basics

A single track is published each day and shared by every player. You get one official run that sets your score on the live leaderboard.

Once your official run is complete, the track unlocks for practice mode so you can retry the layout and see how much time you could have chopped off.

It runs as its own app on its own address, so it opens in a separate space from the puzzle games.

Your official run is blind

Because the track is brand new every day and you cannot practice beforehand, your official run is a test of sight-reading and adaptability.

Treat the opening sector of your official run with respect. Since you have no muscle memory for the layout yet, overcooking an early corner will ruin your only official time.

Consistency beats bravery

A clean, conservative lap with no mistakes almost always beats an aggressive lap with one bad overshoot. Time lost recovering off-track is far worse than braking a fraction too early.

How a session usually goes

You jump straight into your single official run, driving cautiously through blind corners to post a safe initial time on the leaderboard.

With your official score locked in, practice mode unlocks. On your second and third runs, you learn where the slow sections are and where you can carry momentum.

By the fourth run, you know exactly how much time you left on the table during your official attempt—giving you the benchmark to beat tomorrow.

Tips worth remembering

  • Prioritize smooth inputs over raw speed during your one official run.
  • Look as far ahead as the camera allows on your blind first attempt to spot tightening turns early.
  • Use practice mode to figure out which corners actually required braking versus simple lifting.
  • Check the leaderboard after practicing to compare your official run against the day's pace-setters.
