Saigon Rush is easy to learn and hard to master. These tips come from many hours of test rides and will help you ride longer, earn more tips and beat your friends' challenges.
Your scooter always sits near the bottom of the screen. Watch the top third of the road instead, so you see traffic early and have time to plan your next lane change. The same trick helps real scooter riders.
Switching lanes at the last moment earns close-call bonus points, and chaining close calls multiplies the bonus. But switching too late ends your ride. Start by switching early, then gradually wait a little longer as you get comfortable.
🔥 orders pay much more but give you less time. If the road ahead looks crowded, the safer order is often worth more, because a late delivery pays no tip.
Three on-time deliveries in a row doubles your tips until you miss one. Once you have a streak going, pick orders you know you can deliver in time.
About 16 seconds into every ride, coins rain down and every coin counts double. There's no traffic during Rush Hour, so switch lanes often to grab as many coins as you can. With 🦊 Kitsune it lasts twice as long.
At about 7 seconds a free ☕ Turbo appears in your lane. Stay in that lane to catch it, then enjoy smashing through the line of cars that follows.
From about two minutes in, some cars change lanes. They always flash an indicator and honk first. When you see a blinking light or hear a horn on a car in the other lane, expect it to move into yours.
A 👑 crown is worth 150 coins, but it isn't worth crashing for. Remember that treasures only count when your chest opens at the end, so a long ride with a few treasures beats a short ride chasing one.
More on treasures and the chest in the Treasures guide.
Going for a high score? Ride with a shield pet like 🐶 Cún or 🐘 Chang. Saving up for a new city? Ride with 🐉 Rồng or 🦜 Loro. See the Pets guide for every pet's power.
Each new city unlocks for free when you reach its score target in the previous city (800 in Saigon opens Bangkok). If you're close to a target, keep riding for it and spend your coins on Mystery Boxes instead.
The music speeds up as levels increase, and coins, close calls and horns all have their own sounds. Many players find they react faster with the sound on.
Your coins, pets and best scores are saved on your device, in the browser you play in. Switching browsers or using a private window starts you from zero.
