First steps when you join
Step
When you first load in, you are given a plot — a dedicated patch of land where your obby lives. It starts small, but everything you do from here is aimed at making it bigger.
- Check your plot look at how much space you have before you start placing anything.
- Open the store browse blocks, walls, ramps, and other parts to see what you can afford.
- Place your parts build the course inside your plot boundaries.
- Play your own obby run through it yourself to earn cash and spot anything that needs fixing.
- Upgrade your plot once you have enough cash saved, buy a larger plot so you can build bigger.
The building parts you can buy
Tips
The store stocks several categories of parts.
- Blocks are the cheapest option and handle most of the basic platforming in any course.
- Walls let you frame sections of your course and stop players from falling off the sides.
- Ramps let you add height changes, which is the easiest way to raise the difficulty of a section.
- Lava and other hazard parts make your course harder and give it a more dramatic look.
Earning cash
Check
Cash is the engine of the whole game. Every time you play your obby you earn some, and the game keeps earning for you even when you are offline.
- Replay your course each run adds to your total.
- Upgrade your plot in stages rather than saving up for the biggest jump at once.
- Log in regularly to collect the cash that built up while you were offline.
Designing a course people want to finish
Tips
Good design does not require a huge plot.
- Vary the shape and angle of your blocks and ramps so no two sections feel identical.
- Share your course with friends so they can play it too, which brings in extra cash runs.
Expanding your plot over time
Step
Each upgrade unlocks more building space, which means more room for sections, hazards, and height.
- Check the upgrade cost before you commit the cash.
- After upgrading, start filling the new area with basic parts first.
- Repeat the loop build, play, earn, upgrade — at each new plot size.
Playing without spending real money
SummaryEvery purchase in the game uses cash you earn by playing, so there is no hard wall that forces you to pay. The offline earning feature means progress continues between sessions.
- Parts and upgrades all bought with in-game cash earned by playing.
- Offline earnings cash accumulates automatically, so time away still moves you forward.
- Device support the game runs on desktop, mobile, and tablet, so you can log in to collect earnings from anywhere.

Common questions
FAQCan I change my course after I build it?

Can my friends play my obby?
Other players can run your course. Sharing your course with friends is one of the ways to boost your earnings.
How big can my plot get?
The plot grows each time you pay for an upgrade, eventually allowing a much larger course than you start with.
Does the game work on phones and tablets?
The game supports desktop, mobile, and tablet.
What should I do if I run out of cash early?
Replay the course you already have until your balance recovers. Logging out and coming back later also helps, since offline earnings keep adding up while you are away.
