Sprint: the same 10 rounds for everyone, new every day

Sprint is Loop Chomp's daily race: 10 short arcade rounds, the same 10 for every player in the world that day, free in the browser with no download or signup. Survive a round to bank it, die and retry it instantly. The board ranks rounds banked, then fewest deaths. A fresh 10 drops every day at 8pm US Eastern.

How a round works

It is still Loop Chomp: your chomper orbits a ring, spike bars sweep the track, and one tap anywhere flips your direction. A Sprint round is a timer. Survive to zero and the round is banked. The rounds run 12, 12, 15, 15, 15, 15, 18, 18, 20 and 20 seconds, and each one is a little faster than the last.

Die and the same round starts again right away. No menu, no results screen, no waiting. Every attempt is the exact same board, so you are learning it, not rolling dice. Rounds you have banked stay banked for the rest of the day, so you can stop at round 6 before work and pick it back up at round 7 on your lunch break (just beat the 8pm Eastern reset).

Sprint is bare hands. No shields, no slow-mo, no magnet. Everybody gets the same chomper speed and the same bars.

The board

Today's board ranks how many rounds you banked, then how few times you died getting there. Ten rounds with 12 deaths beats ten rounds with 30. Bank a round and you see who you just passed, and the next name up.

The This week board adds up every day, Monday to Sunday UTC, and the top 10 get paid every Monday: 50,000 coins for first, 25,000 for second, 15,000 for third and 5,000 each for fourth through tenth. Last week's winner wears a crown on every Sprint board all week. The Fastest board ranks the clock time of a full 10-round clear.

What you win

• Coins every day. The first clear of each round pays, from 75 coins for round 1 up to 720 for round 10. That is 3,000 coins for all ten, plus a shield at round 6 and a shield and slow-mo at round 10.
• First-time milestones. The first time you ever reach rounds 3, 5 and 7 you unlock a trail, a death effect and a new character.
• All 10 in a day: Northern Lights. Bank all ten and you win the Blitz Trail and Northern Lights, a 3D arena of sea ice under a moving aurora. If you have not won it yet, round 10 is raced under those lights so you can see what you are playing for.
• Zero deaths: the Sprinter. Clear all ten without dying once and the Sprinter character is yours.
• Show up every day. Bank at least one round on consecutive days for a streak: coins at 3 and 5 days, the Afterburner Trail at 7, then the 50s Cruiser, Supercar and Hover Racer characters at 14, 21 and 30 days.
• Weekly chests open at 20, 40 and 60 rounds banked in a week. Sixty is a Perfect Week.

After all ten: race the clock

Once you have banked the day, you can replay the same 10 rounds against the clock. Deaths cost you the time they burned. Three times are set from the day's round lengths: finish any replay for Bronze, beat the Silver and Gold times for more. Each pays once a day (1,000, 2,000 and 3,000 coins), and seven Gold Laps unlock the Photo Finish death effect. Your best time goes on the Fastest board.

Race a friend

Everyone gets the same 10 every day, which makes Sprint the easiest thing in the game to share. Send loopchomp.com/?sprint=1 and your friend lands in round 1 of the exact rounds you just raced. Finish all ten and the "Challenge a friend" button shares your time with a link.

Quick answers

How long does a Sprint take? All ten rounds are under three minutes of survival if you never die. With deaths, most full runs take 5 to 15 minutes.

What time does Sprint reset? 00:00 UTC: 8pm Eastern, 7pm Central, 5pm Pacific. A round you are playing when the clock rolls over still counts for the day you started.

Do I need an account? No. Progress saves automatically. Link an email in Settings if you want the same progress on another phone or computer.

Is there anything to buy? Nothing in Sprint. Every round is the same board for everyone, and the only way up the board is to play.
