How to Race

1. The Goal of a Geo Race

   The goal is simple! Reach all the race waypoints before your fellow racers.

2. Waypoints

   Waypoints are secrect locations that racers must find to complete the race. They are randomly assigned in various orders.

3. Hot and Cold Meter

   Find your waypoint by using the hot cold meter to determine which direction to go.

   

4. Reaching a Waypoint

   When you arrive at the waypoint, a notification page will pop up. You can see the leaderboard with every racer's progress; you can also choose to either "Use a hazard" to add a new hazard to your inventory or "Shield yourself" to gain a new shield.

5. Sending Hazards

   You also get rewarded with a hazard. Hazards are used to slow down your fellow racers.
