Daily challenges, ghosts and the Top 50: how playing together works on Boop Arcade

By Edgar Sargsyan ·

All the games on Boop Arcade are single-player, but you are never playing completely alone. Daily challenges, ghosts and the Top 50 boards let you compare yourself with other players. Here is how they work.

Daily challenges

Several games have a daily challenge: the same level for every player, which changes every day. In Boop Sort it is the same puzzle, and fewer moves score more. In Neon Arrow and Flappy Chick it is the same track or the same pipes. In Boop Drop it is the same tower. In Boop Blocks the daily challenge is one goal for all of the day's games, paid in coins and power-ups, and in Boop Camp it is one goal a day, paid with 10 minutes of your camp's work.

Because everyone plays the same thing, a daily score means more than a normal one: the luck is the same for everybody, so the difference is skill. Daily challenges with a score have a board of their own.

Ghosts

In the daily runs of Neon Arrow, Flappy Chick and Boop Drop you can turn on a ghost: a see-through copy of your own best run of the day, playing next to you. It shows exactly where you were faster or slower last time, which makes it one of the best ways to improve. You can turn it on and off with the ghost button.

The Top 50

Every game has an online Top 50 of its best players. What counts depends on the game: points in Boop Blocks, Boop 2048 and Plane Game, height in Boop Jump, distance in Neon Arrow, pipes in Flappy Chick, points in Boop Drop, the best single catch in Deep Hook, stars in Boop Camp, and points from stars in Boop Sort. In most games you get on the board by finishing a game with a good score.

Your name, without an account

There is no sign-up on Boop Arcade. When you get on a board, you choose the name everyone sees on the list. Your progress, coins and best scores are saved in your own browser on your own device. That keeps things simple and private, but it also means that if you clear your browser's data, your progress on that device is gone. The privacy policy explains exactly what is stored.

Missions

Many games give you three missions at a time: small goals such as passing a number of saws in Neon Arrow or picking up corn in Flappy Chick. Missions are a good way to try parts of a game you might otherwise skip, and they unlock looks and skins for your character.

Playing fair

A board is only fun when the scores on it are real. Scores are checked before they are accepted, and impossible ones are not shown. If you ever see something strange on a board, write to us at hello@booparcade.com.

Weekly challenges and tournaments

Plane Game also has a weekly challenge: the same balloons for everyone for a whole week, flown with your own plane. From time to time we also hold tournaments, announced first on our Instagram, @booparcade.
