The Arcade
The Arcade is the racing hub in Cointiply Labs. Right now the game you can play there is Orb Rush — a downhill race where your companion bombs down a mountain, launches off ramps, and tries to beat everyone else to the finish.
Open it from the Games hub, ask the assistant ("open the arcade"), or jump straight to /app/arcade.
What's inside
| Tab | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Play | Find a ranked match (Free Race or 50 Coins), open Career, jump into practice, or open the Crest Atlas |
| Leaderboard | Top ratings, wins, streaks, and the fastest times on each map |
| League | Your league standing, tonight's prizes, and optional daily / weekly events |
| History | Your recent races — place, stake, and payout |
There's also a Community tab so you can chat without leaving the Arcade.
What you can do
- Ranked races — 2–8 players, same map, one shared prize pool. Free Race is ranked with no pot. The 50 Coin race pays the coin podium plus the same amounts in Gems. Searching is free; you're only charged when a race actually starts.
- Career — the solo 200-race path across five islands. Unlock it after 20 ranked heats. See Orb Rush: Career Mode.
- Practice — free, unlimited, and a great way to learn. Times on the named maps can still post to that map's record board.
- Crest Atlas — ranked maps and career races hide five crests each. Ranked crests only count in ranked races. Track both on the Atlas.
- Elo & leagues — every ranked race moves your Elo. Wins always gain a little; a win streak adds a bit more. That rating is your league (Bronze through Diamond). Each league starts the day with seeded Coin and Gem pools. At midnight UTC 10 draws split your league's prize pools — every ranked race you win that day is one draw entry.
- Optional events — Today's Top 5 (free, one run a day) and Weekly Survival (one Gem entry for the week). Ranked races don't count on these boards.
Does it pay Coins?
Yes, ranked races and the events can. Unlike the daily puzzles (CoinWord, CoinTrail, and so on), Arcade races put Coins on the line:
- The 50 Coin pot is made of the stakes everyone paid. Winners get those Coins and matching Gems.
- League, daily, and weekly podiums pay Coins and Gems.
Gems have no cash value — they're for Crack the Vault and other Labs play. Only Coins can be withdrawn.
Good to know
- You race as your companion.
- Ranked racing may be in early access for some accounts. Practice stays open either way.
- One live race at a time — finish (or wait out) the current one before starting another.
