HOP EARTH TIPS

SMALL GOAL.
BETTER DRIVE.

The useful early-access habit is not chasing the longest route. Pick a clear objective, observe what happens, and leave yourself enough room to restart.

Five habits for a better session.

  1. 01

    Choose a visible finish

    A bridge, harbour or landmark is easier to navigate towards than an arbitrary coordinate.

  2. 02

    Start compact

    Use a short city or coast objective to learn controls before attempting a cross-city route.

  3. 03

    Separate a plan from a result

    Record whether you planned, launched, started, reset or completed a route. Each state tells you something different.

  4. 04

    Use the live prompt

    Inputs and device support can change, so the official in-game prompt outranks any old key chart.

  5. 05

    Retry with a reason

    If a route fails, change one condition—browser, location or time—rather than refreshing repeatedly without a record.
