About This Game

Good evening, race fans, and OH BOY, what a venue we have today: the bottom of your screen! Your ride is racing right on your taskbar! Answering emails, running a meeting, taking notes – the harder you work, the faster that car flies!

Hundreds of skins across five rarity tiers. Every 10 minutes of play earns you a ticket to a minigame that also keeps the bots out (shoo!). Win it, and if it’s been 2 hours since your last crate, a crate is yours. If not, you pocket some coins. Drops depend on time played, not words typed. Every skin is a real Steam item that lands straight in your inventory.

Code, emails, your resignation letter, that college essay. The car can’t read. All it knows is that you’re WORKING. The harder you go, the faster it goes! Need a break? No problem, the car keeps on rolling!

Pull into the pits to tune your car, unlock new rides and change up your look. Every car model has its own upgrade tree! And you earn every bit of it with your keyboard!

  • Season Leaderboard - everyone starts from zero, and it resets when the season ends!

  • Event Leaderboard - short, fast-paced events, some of which call for specific cars!

  • Friends Leaderboard - every kilometer you’ve EVER driven counts here. Will you finally beat the kid your mom always compared you to?

Every season and event wraps up with your very own Wrapped License, a personalized driver’s license. Flex it online and show it off to all the friends who never asked.

It doesn’t need your attention; it’s a true idle racer. Fully customize how the game looks and where it sits on your screen. Forget it’s even running and keep racking up leaderboard points! And who knows, maybe you’ll drop a legendary skin along the way. Give yourself a shot :)

OKAY, BACK TO WORK!
