Rivers Run

How to Play

• Everyone gets the same stretch of river every day. It resets at 00:00 UTC, for everyone, at once.
• Move the river-blue dot (you) to any destination — there are seven scattered through the map each day, and each one gives you a different ending. Which one you reach is entirely up to you.
• Almost every junction on your route seals shut behind you the moment you commit to a direction that still leads somewhere — the way back toward the start stays open, but you can't switch to a different forward branch once you've taken it.
• Copper forks mark the big ones — genuine points where two or more destinations are still both reachable. Step through one and you'll get a notice: the other ending(s) down that branch are gone for this run.
• You can always poke into a dead end and backtrack out freely — sealing only ever happens on the direction that was actually leading toward a destination, so you can never wall yourself out of every ending by choosing.
• Watch the hollow rings — those mark spots you visited but never committed through. The Rising Tide claims one of those every so often (check the countdown), sealing it shut for good. Circle back and commit before it catches up, or it can genuinely close off every destination — if that happens, you'll be offered a restart of the same maze.
• A decisive player who never leaves a real choice hanging is completely safe from the tide — it can only ever claim something you've already seen and walked away from.
• Nothing here is hidden — the river is visible around you as you explore.
• The river gets bigger through the week — Monday's the easiest, Sunday's the hardest. Pick a level, Beginner through Extreme, on top of that — Beginner has no tide at all.
• Every destination you reach is recorded — try to discover all seven over time. Use arrow keys or swipe to move, and come back daily to build your streak.
