Was fun and now it’s not!
I have been playing this game for over a year, come back daily, run my ads, play all the time. Even spending some money on the monthly membership, loved it that much. Levels became harder and a little more patient to pass which was fine…….. but now, i can’t even pass one trophy road level. The bots or whatever they may be have an extraordinary abundance of power over me. It’s 6th place from the start of the race, and by the end, i can’t even see them they are so far ahead. All the developers have to say is we’re sorry and be patient. I most recently spent a ton of my Gems just to beat a level to get enough whistles for the event and still, was only able to get through 1 trophy road race, even after opening 2 gold training bags , 5 purple training bags and a ton of the small bags only to barely pass 1 trophy road race. So it’s a money grab…. Even if you spend money. Dumped almost 2500 gems just to beat 1 trophy road race. The game is no longer fun. So player beware you can play this game for a long time and enjoy it…. Until you can’t. What a shame!

Don’t support pay to win
First off the game crashes constantly. Losing reward or tickets. Second this game is 1% skill 4% rng and 95% pay to win. Stay away from any game like this. Do everyone a favor and down vote and do not play.
Edit: you partner with free cash. Scam offers for non achievable
finance gains. You wouldn’t partner with pyramid scam site. It’s all fake numbers for profit. While you rig ur game. If it wasn’t an offer you would not have this review. Have fun with that info.

Boring!
Most boring game iver ever played
★★★★ BigOtter17 6/26/2026 v7.7.12
Disaster
I enjoyed to start and as I have progressed, I become more frustrated with this game. Bots and players with lower stats will beat you constantly. The challenges are ridiculous with needing to win races in order to get certain gadgets and basically get stymied by these bots.
You get stuck on the trophy road because you do not have a gadget others do and despite how many chests or gems you purchase cannot get this gadget and get stuck in perpetual hell known as the trophy road.
This game is your typical cash grab, not relaxing, and absolutely abysmal. I’ll be deleting the app and have written this to remind myself to never redownload this game. Thank you Pocket Champs for developing a game that has completely wasted my time.
★★★★ Topukan 6/25/2026 v7.7.12
Horrible money grab
Starts off very enjoyable. But to remain competitive you have to spend money. Which starts off reasonable. Spend a little gain a lot of ground. But soon becomes a huge money grab. Spend money only to find all the other “players” are 100-200 points higher every time. And you quickly realize the “people” you are competing against are not actually people but just AIs to be sure you don’t gain any ground. Move in and don’t waste your time or money

Ads
The ads ruin the game. It’s a stupid game that is more ads than action.

ADS ADS ADS
Literally unplayable because there is an add pop up every game.
★★★★ Case is looking for games 6/22/2026 v7.7.12
Ugh
You want more people to keep the game make it more interactive like all you do is open a few crates choose a few tools then u basically just press a button and wait
★★★★ Reaper7567 6/21/2026 v7.7.12
Nothing like ads, really boring
The game is nothing like the ad. You just watch your little racer go. It’s really boring, didn’t make it past the first few races before deleting app.
★★★★ Pogmaster300 6/21/2026 v7.7.12
Not like the ads, as usual
I don’t understand why games, and I use the term loosely here, with false advertising are permitted for download. This reminds me more of a slot machine where you press play and it does everything for you. There’s no controls for the player. Watching the race and upgrades you can’t opt out of aren’t gameplay. I’m starting to think these are just ways to take data more than anything else. I won’t download another game from Apple, I no longer trust them or the shady developers they have let rot their market.

Pride?
I’ve been playing this app for several years now, and I now see that you’re celebrating pride month. Why do you companies keep pandering to the minority and not the majority? The rainbow is a promise from God, not for being gay. So now I’m done playing your game and I’m deleting the app. You need the majority more than the majority needs you.

Nowhere near what the AD was that took me to this game.

Could be great
This is an extremely fun and addictive game to play, but it constantly crashes…I’m on a business WiFi and it. Constantly crashes and the amount of ads makes YouTube look amazing. Fun but come on people ???,,…,

Why is there gay propaganda
Sick people trying to push gay propaganda on kids
★★★★ NA712000 6/19/2026 v7.7.12
Unfair
It puts me against players hundreds of points ahead of me
★★★★ Micah Nus 6/19/2026 v7.7.12
It went woke
They added gay pride stuff to the game. Instantly made it no longer playable. Keep that stuff out of kids games. 0 out of 10 would not recommend.
★★★★ BdongPvong 6/18/2026 v7.7.12
It stole my money!
I bought a welcome pack to get a couple items but mainly the “ad free” offer because I liked the game. Long story short, I didn’t receive anything, I still have ads and never got a refund.
★★★★ Butters135! 6/18/2026 v7.7.12
Pride Month
Great game and was in the top 90% of players, until I was advertised pride month garbage. Deleted immediately.
★★★★ gainesgotgains 6/18/2026 v7.7.12
Not Like Ad
This game is not like the ad at all. You do not get to exercise your brain and race the characters yourself. It’s a waiting game directed by chance.
★★★★ robgrande 6/18/2026 v7.7.12
Not like the ad
Basically it’s the same stupid thing with all the other “games”. More coins/diamonds/rubies/turds to earn or buy, waiting to open chests, watching ads, having to purchase something to upgrade. I get watching a few ads but stop trying to get me to buy a $20 bonus pack every 2 hours. And I’m not joining your pride groups… 🙄
Just give us the game you advertised.

Horrible game, not like the ad at all
You don’t do anything besides click start and watch your guy race. Pointless game. All the positive reviews must be fake.

POS GAME!!!
Really hate this game ever since the most recent download. This stupid game keeps booting me out of races. Yet it takes my damn tickets just fine though. SMH

★★★★ Confused and frustrated racer 6/13/2026 v7.7.0
Needs nerf’d
Player should race fellow member with similar skill points, gadget levels and ratings….you’re put up against players with way higher skill points which makes some levels impossible unless you pay for training bags extra. Which leads to skill spins, there needs to be more opportunities for skill bags and not just coins as coins can not be used to purchase training bags. Overall, I enjoy this game.
★★★★ Jehdhrhrrh 6/13/2026 v7.7.0
Pay to win
Way to pay to win I can’t win a game because I don’t have good stuff that you can only get from grinding or paying money for it
★★★★ Powerades 6/13/2026 v7.7.0
Most reviews are fake
There is no game play mentioned. The ad for this was fake. There is nothing here, you just press start and it does everything by itself. Which means, all you are doing is click to start races until you hit a paywall. Just like many games now, they have enough data to know exactly when you will hit it.
★★★★ hmol30 6/12/2026 v7.7.0
Too Many Ads
Way too many ads. Makes it not fun.
★★★★ Warren andersen 6/12/2026 v7.7.0
Warren andersen
This game has crashed the second I use a purple event tickets in the last two days alone.i want my tickets back it feels like theft of merchandise if I get daily event tickets then your game is unstable it then restarts app to just after I used ticket so I don’t have it anymore.I’ll update this score when I get my tickets back.event ends in 8 hours now I have no shot at best reward.they probably did that so they can cripple my fast progress in game.
★★★★ pattyberry956 6/11/2026 v7.7.0
Waste of a download
This game is terrible. Great for toddlers who don’t know how to play since the game plays for you. All you do is press the race button and that’s it. The game literally just plays a video for you to watch of the race.
★★★★★ Lllloooooove it 6/29/2026 v7.7.12
Just wants money
While the game is fun the ads and pop ups for money is insane. The rewards for watching ads are hardly worth it and it’s so frivolous and pointless unless you spend money over and over again
★★★★★ Pearl Zenobia 6/26/2026 v7.7.12
Inoperable
My app just stopped opening, it sits at 13% and goes nowhere. Doesn’t crash at all.

This is not a game.. you do absolutely nothing to play. Complete waste of time. I don’t know how people are saying this is fun 🤷🏻‍♀️
