Our take on Tinker Racers
The defining rule is that staying on screen matters more than reaching the finish: the race leader controls the camera, and cars that disappear from view are eliminated.
What is Tinker Racers?
Tinker Racers is a survival-focused racing party game set on miniature tracks made from everyday household items.
The objective is to remain visible rather than reach a finish line: the car currently leading becomes the camera target, while cars that leave the view are eliminated. The game includes a cooperative campaign where players face bots, unlock additional tracks, and protect their cars from damage to raise scores. Local multiplayer supports up to four players for cooperative scoring, free-for-all competition, and split-screen single races. Matches can be played with friends, siblings, or other local players, with cooperation and direct competition presented as separate ways to play.
