Goal: Bank the highest score before the competition closes. Only your best paid run counts.

The Bad Lads: Watch out — the bad lads are pure shit craic and are always trying to ruin the craic. They will chase you down relentlessly. Stay one step ahead or it is game over.

Run Format: Every paid run gives you 3 lives and 3 minutes. Collect pellets, chain bad-lad takedowns, and squeeze every point out of the clock.

Controls: Use the arrow keys, WASD, or the mobile D-pad to guide Crypto Craic through the board.

Scoring: Pellets score 10, magic mushrooms score 50, bonus drops add extra points, and wobbly bad lads chain for 200, 400, 800, then 1600.

Power Play: A magic mushroom sends the bad lads into a wobble for a short burst. That is your best chance to turn the tables and spike the leaderboard.

Persistence: If you leave mid-run, your active paid run autosaves and can be resumed later. Abandoning it burns that credit.
