Question 1

How do you play Avalon Circuit?

Accepted Answer

Drive out from your own land, curve around a patch of grey and come back. The moment your ribbon touches your territory again the ring closes, and every cell the mist cannot reach from the outside becomes yours. Steer with the arrow keys or A and D, hold Space to burn daylight and go faster, and drag anywhere on the board on a touchscreen.

Question 2

What happens if a rival rider touches my ribbon?

Accepted Answer

You fall. A rival who crosses the line you are laying takes you out and keeps whatever they enclosed, so a long ribbon is a bet: the further you reach, the more you stand to win and the more you are offering to anyone watching. Your own ribbon is safe to cross — you only lose land to a crash or to a rival.

Question 3

Do I have to win every chapter to finish the story?

Accepted Answer

You have to reach the chapter's share of the island before the clock runs out, and you have to keep at least one chariot. Chapters unlock in order, so the story is told in sequence: the misty shore, the glass meadows, the broken causeway and the Obsidian Keep. Stars are separate — three stars means you beat the time a sharp rider sets, so a chapter can be cleared and still worth replaying.

Question 4

Is Avalon Circuit free and does it need a download?

Accepted Answer

It is free and it runs entirely in the browser. There is no download, no install and no account. It plays on desktop with a keyboard and on phones or tablets with touch, and it saves your progress and stars locally on your own device.

Question 5

What makes the difficulty go up?

Accepted Answer

Four things rise together as you go. The share of the island you must claim grows, the clock stays roughly the same size, more rival riders join with sharper reactions, and the hazards get meaner: obsidian pillars that grind you to a stop, and roaming wyrd-wisps that only take riders who are standing on unclaimed grey — which is exactly where a good harvest is.

Question 6

Can I earn extra chariots?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every ten percent of the island you reclaim rolls a fresh chariot out of the mist, up to nine in hand. Cutting a rival down does not give you one, so the reward for aggression is land rather than lives.
