The Trail
The Trail is a climb. Six boards, each one a winding path of ice tiles with START at the bottom and HOME at the top. Reach HOME and the board is cleared: you are paid a bonus and the next board — longer, harder — opens.
How a turn works
Section titled “How a turn works”Tap MUSH!. It costs 5 ⚡ and rolls a die, 1 to 6. Your husky pulls the sled that many tiles, and whatever you land on pays you.
Then two things can happen:
| 🟢 Aurora Lift | Land on a green tile with an up arrow and the aurora carries your sled up the ribbon — sometimes a whole row or two. |
| 🔵 Ice Slide | Land on a pale blue tile and the sled slides back down the chute. It still pays: the tile you finish on gives you something. |
You never lose your turn. Every landing pays — that is the point of the Trail.
The six boards
Section titled “The six boards”| Board | Tiles | Lifts | Slides | Clearing it pays | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Frozen Bay | 30 | 4 | 2 | 50 🐾 |
| 2 | Glacier Pass | 36 | 3 | 3 | 100 🐾 |
| 3 | Aurora Ridge | 42 | 2 | 4 | 150 🐾 |
| 4 | Crystal Peak | 48 | 2 | 5 | 200 🐾 |
| 5 | Midnight Summit | 54 | 2 | 6 | 250 🐾 |
| 6 | The Long Dark | 60 | 2 | 7 | 300 🐾 |
The first time you clear a board you also get 2 🎟 tickets. Clearing one again pays the points, not the tickets — so climbing is always worth more than farming the easy board.
From board 4 on, you have to land on HOME exactly. Roll too high and HOME bounces you back by the difference. Boards 1 to 3 take you in on any roll.
The harder boards pay better per tile. Every pickup on board 2 is worth 10% more than on board 1, on board 3 20% more, and so on up to 50% on The Long Dark.
What the tiles pay
Section titled “What the tiles pay”| Tile | Pays |
|---|---|
| 🦴 Bone | CBON |
| 🐾 Paw | Points |
| ❄️ Snowflake | Energy |
| 🎁 Gift | Tickets |
| 💎 Gem | A large amount of CBON |
| ❓ Mystery | One of the four above, decided when you land on it |
A few tiles are plain ice and pay nothing, and the tile at the entrance to a lift or a slide never carries a pickup — the ride is the event.
Changing boards
Section titled “Changing boards”CHANGE on the board bar opens the list. Every board you have cleared stays open and you can go back to it whenever you like. Switching is free, costs no energy, and starts that board from the beginning — your place on the board you left is not kept.
Where the layout comes from
Section titled “Where the layout comes from”Every player walks the same boards. The layout of each board — where the lifts are, where the slides are, what every tile pays — is decided once per season by the server, from the season itself. It is not random per player, it cannot be re-rolled, and nobody gets an easier board than you do.
