How kids play

• Pick an animal from big picture bubbles, then press GO!. The dice picks one for you.
• Tap anywhere (or press the space bar) to cheer. The faster you tap, the faster your animal runs. Holding a key down doesn't count, so it's real tapping.
• Tap fast enough and your animal goes rainbow. Reach 100 taps and it stays rainbow to the finish, unless another animal knocks it off in a scuffle.
• Whoever is in front wears the crown. Near the end, the animals behind get a speed boost, so races stay exciting and anyone can win.
• Every finish earns stars: 3 for winning, 2 for the podium, 1 for taking part. Nobody loses everything.

New animals to unlock

Kids start with six animals. Six more join one at a time, each with a surprise reveal:

• Rusty the fox: finish a race.
• Bongo the monkey: go rainbow in a race.
• Inky the octopus and Boulder the wombat: win races.
• Paddles the platypus and Ember the dragon: win races of 9 animals.

Races of 9 animals open when there are 9 animals to pick from, and races of 12 when all 12 have joined.

Made for little hands

• One simple action, big pictures instead of words, and a cheer for every tap.
• No timers, no lives, nothing to lose, and no pressure to keep playing.
• Flashing effects stay well under three flashes a second.
• A short race takes about 30 seconds, so it's easy to stop after "one more".
• The sound button (top right) turns all sound off. On a computer, M does the same.

Full screen and offline

• Android and tablets: the first tap goes full screen.
• iPhone and iPad: tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. The game then opens full screen like an app.
• After the first visit, the game keeps working without internet, in the car or on a plane, with the animals it has already downloaded.

Privacy

The game doesn't ask for names, emails or photos, and nothing your child does in the game leaves the device. Stars and unlocked animals are saved in the browser on this device only. The details are on our privacy page.
