FAQ

Do I need a wallet?
No. You can play everything without one, forever.

Is it free?
Yes. Open basetopia.xyz and play. No download, no sign-up.

What devices work?
Any modern browser on desktop, phone or tablet. Keyboard, touch and game controllers all work. On phones, landscape gives the biggest view.

How do I start?
Tap Grassland once (or press Enter or Space). Press H any time for the controls.

Where's everything?
See Map & Links for every page and how to get there.

Is there chat?
No open chat with strangers. In the Plaza you'll see ghosts of recent players walking around, not live chat.

How does the leaderboard work?
Finish a round and your time goes on that round's weekly and all-time boards. Weekly boards reset every Monday at 00:00 Pacific, and the weekly #1 becomes the statue in the Plaza. A board name is optional. Runs are checked by the server, and impossible times aren't ranked.

Are there prizes for the leaderboard?
The prize is glory and a statue. You never pay to compete.

Where's my progress saved?
In your browser on that device. To keep it if you clear your browser data or switch devices, use the optional cloud save: open Settings, tap SAVE TO CLOUD and keep the code. On another device, tap RESTORE and enter it. No account needed.

How do I share my island?
On the 3D Island, tap SHARE to copy a link. Anyone who opens it can explore a copy of your island.

How do Ghost Relay links work?
Build a level in the Relay Editor, beat it, then PUBLISH. You get a basetopia.xyz/r/CODE link. Racers who beat the baton ghost take the baton.
