  • Beat your own best time: 200 XP the first time of the day, 100 the second, then 50. Up to 5 times a day.
  • Any other race swum to the finish: 50 XP the first time of the day, then 30. Up to 15 times a day.

  • Beat a medal time: 5, 10, 15 or 25 gems.
  • Do today’s challenge: 10 gems, once a day.
  • Finish a run: a 1 in 6 chance of a random item from the Minigames Quests Collection (3 a day at most).

The helmets are yours for as long as you hold your place. The weekly helmets go back when a new week starts.

  • Step into a start circle by the frogs. 3, 2, 1, GO!
  • Swim across the pond to the finish line. Reeds block the way: find the gaps.
  • Your fastest time is the one that counts. The lower, the better.
  • Finished? Press Run again to go straight back to the start.
  • Want to stop? The Cancel button gives up the run.

Scoring

  • There are two leaderboards. This week: your best time on this week’s course. All time: your best time ever.
  • The mossy leaderboard stone on the grass beside the start circles shows this week’s top 5 and today’s challenge. Click or tap it to see both boards.

The pond changes every Monday. Here is this week’s course, next week’s, and every one of them. You start by the frogs on the left and finish by the frogs on the right.

The pictures show the reeds, the lily pads and the big fish. The surprises are not on them - you find those in the race!

Every course

  • Every Monday the pond changes. The reeds, the lily pads and all the surprises move somewhere new. Even the big fish under the water moves.
  • Everyone races on the same course, so it is fair for all.
  • The weekly leaderboard starts empty every Monday. New week, new chance to be number 1.
  • The three fastest of the week wear the Wild Wade Gold, Silver and Bronze Helmets for as long as they hold their place.
  • When the week ends, the fastest swimmer wins a Credits Surprise Box.

Some things help you. Some get in your way. Learn where they are - they move every Monday!

  • The jumping frogWatch outIt jumps onto the course and back again. If it lands on you, it knocks you back and you can’t move for a moment. Wait for it to jump away.
  • Your ghostA see-through copy of you that swims your best run of the week. Try to beat it! Only you can see it. You can switch it off next to the clock.
  • The floatsThree rows of red and white floats cross the pond. At each one you see your time so far: green means you are ahead of your best run, red means you are behind.

Finish fast enough and you earn a medal, with gems. Each medal gives its gems once. The next medal to beat is shown over the clock.

  • Finish within 3 seconds of your best time this week.
  • Catch 3 speed flies in one run.
  • Use a springy lily pad.

  • The weekly prize arrives by itself when the week ends. You don’t have to be in the game.
  • Medals and helmets go by your best time ever, on any week’s course.
  • The island’s server checks every run. A time that is too fast to be real isn’t counted.
