Drag anywhere to steer. The cab turns at the next junction in the direction you're pushing. Let go to slow down for passengers.
Drive fares around a neon New York, earn Cab Credits and climb the weekly board. Connect X and get a driver's licence to become a passenger in everyone else's city.
Drag anywhere toward the road you want, or use the arrow keys or WASD. The cab turns at the next junction in that direction. Let go to slow down; Space brakes. The dashed line is your GPS.
Nitro: the NITRO ring fills as you drive fast and finish fares. When it's full, tap it (or press B) for 8 seconds of extra speed. It's free and never changes what a fare scores. Horn makes cars ahead move over. The 🅿 button takes you off duty: no fares, the shift clock stops, and you can just cruise.
A passenger is always waiting nearby: follow the dashed line, stop next to them, then drive them to the gold beam. Every fare pays Cab Credits: longer trips, richer districts and a better cab pay more. Some passengers tip, not every ride, and arriving on time helps.
Watch for special passengers (people in a rush, VIPs, nervous riders, tourists) and for @handles: those are real licensed drivers from X riding in your cab, and they tip more often.
Spend credits on better cabs, engine and meter upgrades, paint, and new districts: Midtown, Uptown, Summit Heights, Harlem, the Brooklyn Bridge and JFK, and Coney Island. Unlock areas in the Map tab, or tap a pink "Locked" sign on the map. Richer districts pay more. Your level unlocks what you can buy.
The Shop sells Cab Credit packs to open the map faster, shop-only vehicles (Neon Tuk-Tuk, Checker Classic, Pikl Van, Avalanche Snowcat, Cyber Cab, Pharaoh Limo, Hover Cab) and paint jobs, all in AVAX. 75% of every purchase goes into the weekly prize pool, split on-chain. Vehicles and paint never change your Fare Score: it's distance × district only.
Your tank drains as you drive. The Cab Depot pump in Downtown refuels you for free (it takes a few seconds). Tap the pump button (or the fuel bar) and an orange line takes you there. Or fill up instantly with credits from the Cab tab.
In the Licence tab, connect your wallet, then link your X account (free). Linking X enters you for the weekly prize pool.
Then get your driver's licence for 1 AVAX. It's an in-game licence, not an NFT: it carries your X picture and handle, stays with your wallet, and can't be sold or transferred. It puts you into the game as a passenger that other drivers pick up around the city, licensed drivers get tipped more often and more generously, and you can share your licence card on X. 75% of every licence goes into the weekly prize pool.
The reward calendar gives credits every day you play, with the Gold Rush paint on day 25. Three daily challenges refill your Nitro and give XP. Your weekly league races about 20 drivers at your level: the top 3 move up and everyone who drives gets credits.
The weekly prize pool is paid in AVAX to the top 10 drivers by Fare Score (every completed fare scores the same; your first 50 fares each day count, so playing every day is what wins), split 25 / 18 / 13 / 10 / 9 / 8 / 7 / 5 / 3 / 2%. To enter, you need a driver's licence (1 AVAX, and 75% of it goes straight into the pool) and an X account at least 30 days old, linked before the week starts. Fares you drive with X linked always count towards your score, so you can see where you stand before buying.
Shifts last 5 minutes. The day cycles from evening rush to late night and the weather changes. Watch for events: Fare Frenzy (passengers everywhere), Heavy traffic, Surge, crowds leaving venues and parades.
Avalanche landmarks light up the skyline; tap one to see who it is. The Makooor tower wears a golden crown. Down on Wall St, the Stock Exchange runs an AVAX ticker across its columns, and fares dropped there pay double. Look out for Vanho Heights, Balln Court, the LILCOQ chick factory and the City Zoo.
Two characters wander the streets: the Pharaoh and the Pikl. Tap them to say hello. The blimp and Hudson boats show live news: the prize pot, the top driver and the season.
Fare Scores are checked by the game server: the server hands out every fare at random (nobody can pick the best ones), drop-offs faster than any cab could drive don't count, skipping a fare means waiting 2 minutes for the next one, and only your first 50 fares each day score. Running several wallets to farm prizes gets an account excluded.
