How to Play

Saigon Rush is a one-tap scooter delivery game. You ride a food-delivery scooter through busy city streets, pick up orders, bring them to hungry customers before the timer runs out, and try not to crash. Here's everything you need to know, from your first ride to a new high score.

The controls: one tap

The road has two lanes. Tap the left half of the screen to ride in the left lane, and tap the right half to ride in the right lane. That's the whole control scheme. Your scooter moves at a steady speed, so you never have to brake or speed up. Your only job is picking the right lane at the right moment.

On a computer you can click the left or right side of the game with your mouse. The game works best on a phone held upright, with your thumbs resting near the bottom corners.

What you're trying to do

Your score comes from three things:

Coins are separate from points. You earn coins from coins on the road, delivery pay, tips and treasures. Coins are saved between rides and spent on Mystery Boxes (for pets) and on unlocking new cities.

Food orders

A second or two into each ride, two orders appear at the bottom of the screen, one for each lane. Each card shows the dish, what it pays, and how many seconds you have. Orders marked with 🔥 pay much more but give you less time.

1. Choose. Ride through the PICK UP zone in the lane of the order you want.
2. Carry. A timer starts. The bar at the bottom shows how much time is left.
3. Deliver. A 🏠 DROP OFF zone appears on the road. Ride through it to complete the order.

You always get the base pay when you deliver. You also get a tip if you arrive before the timer runs out, and the faster you are, the bigger the tip. Deliver three orders in a row on time and your tips are doubled until you miss one. Late orders still pay, but with no tip.

Power-ups

The first 30 seconds

Every ride starts with a gentle warm-up. At about seven seconds a free Turbo appears right in your lane, followed by a line of cars to smash through. Then comes Rush Hour: for about eight seconds coins rain down in both lanes, traffic clears, and every coin counts double. It's the best time to fill your pockets.

Levels, districts and time of day

Every 30 seconds you reach a new level. The street changes to a new district, from neon downtown to a busy market, a riverside and a rainy party street, and the time of day moves on from morning to afternoon, sunset and night. The music gets a little faster with each level.

The first two minutes are relaxed so you can learn the streets. After that, traffic gets thicker and faster, and from level 10 the streets get really hard: faster traffic, cars in both lanes that you have to weave between, and lane changers that give you less warning. From level 5 some cars start changing lanes. They flash their indicator before they move, so watch for the blinking light and get out of the way.

Treasures and the treasure chest

Among the ordinary coins you will sometimes see a rare treasure: a 💰 money bag (10 coins), a 💎 diamond (25), a ⌚ gold watch (40), a 💍 diamond ring (60) or, very rarely, a 👑 royal crown (150). Treasures go into your treasure chest, which opens at the end of the ride and shows everything you collected. If you close the game in the middle of a ride, the chest is lost.

When you crash

The ride ends and your chest opens. You'll see your score, deliveries and tips. Once per ride you may be offered a chance to keep riding from where you crashed. After that you can ride again, share your score, or send a friend a challenge link.

Friend challenges

After a ride, tap ⚔️ Challenge to create a link with your score and city. When a friend opens it, they see your score and can try to beat it straight away in their browser, with no download or account needed.
