Step
Each game runs through several events in a row. You earn points by finishing high in each one, and poor results can get you eliminated before the game ends. The last player standing — or the one with the best record — wins.
- Pick your colour choose any coloured athlete before the game begins.
- Compete in each event aim for a high finish to stack up points and avoid elimination.
- Survive the cut players who perform badly get eliminated, so consistency matters more than one great round.
- Win the game outlast everyone else to earn the Win A Game badge and start climbing toward 5, 10, 25, and beyond.

Points accumulate across events, so every round you finish near the top adds up. The 1,000,000 Points badge description spells out exactly what it takes: a big server, good performance throughout, and luck.
- Join busier servers when you want to chase high point totals.
- Win at least one event to pick up the Win An Event badge along the way.
- In a game with five or more rounds, winning every single event earns you the Perfect Game badge.
