Stage description

You have to complete the course as quickly as possible.

Recommended device

Desktop computer or laptop with separate mouse.

Details

If you’re taking part in our Catching Features knock-out competition, please see the separate page with further information.

Some tips on how to play Catching Features:

Use a separate mouse
Hold the space bar to look at the map while running
Press 1 to zoom in and 2 to zoom out
Press R to focus the map on your current leg
Press W to move the map up, S to move it down, A left, and D right
Hold alt while running to jump – this can be helpful if you get stuck and can’t move!
Press right mouse button to run backwards (slowly)
Paths can be hard to see
It’s difficult to relocate, so stay in contact with the map
Practice helps! Catching Features definitely gets easier after you’ve played on a few different maps
