DAILY GAME TRAIN

YOUR FIRST DEPARTURE

Five games. One race.

Finish the route. Send your time. Challenge a friend.

Five puzzles make one daily race. Everyone plays the same departure, which changes at midnight Pacific time. Want to learn first? The practice race stays separate from daily results.

Lowest total time wins.

Read the instructions and try the free example before pressing Start at each station. Your five solve times and penalties add up to your race time. Time between games, explanations and train or light animations does not count. Use Pause to take a break. Leaving the game also pauses it and hides the puzzle until you resume.

A few things to know

Do I need an account?

No. Start on the home screen and follow the five stations. No sign-in is needed for the global leaderboard. Verified guest times appear under a numbered Traveler name. Sign in to keep your results, collect badges and compare with friends. Enable global visibility in your profile to display your chosen username.

How do I share my results?

Share an individual game from its result screen, or finish all five and choose Share your race on Results. Send the silver ticket, save its image, or copy the race link. A friend opening the link sees your time to beat and plays the same puzzles.

How do friend invitations work?

Open Friends, sign in with an emailed code, and save your username. Invite a friend opens sharing and copying options. Each invitation can be accepted once. Both players then appear in each other’s friends list. Compare verified full-race or individual-game times on the friends leaderboard.

Can I come back to finish?

Yes. Use the same browser and choose Continue your race. Your first completed time at each station is kept. Sign in and save guest progress before changing devices. An account keeps verified daily results across devices; unsaved guest progress depends on this browser. Finish the daily race before midnight Pacific.

What do badges measure?

Badges celebrate specific verified achievements, such as finishing a race or completing one without hints. Practice runs do not earn daily badges. The games are for fun and are not an IQ test.
