Read full description

Escape Saylor is a fast-paced cartoon endless runner set in the Bitcoin universe. Run, dodge obstacles, and beat your high score in quick, addictive sessions. In Rewarded Runs you collect Coins, and each Coin is one entry into our free promotional prize draw. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN A purchase will not increase your chances of winning, the size of any prize, or your access to any prize tier. Void where prohibited by law. GAMEPLAY - Ultra-fast endless runner with fluid, intuitive controls - Escalating difficulty, every run is a fresh challenge - Cartoon visuals with a wink to Bitcoin culture - Short sessions, perfect for a 2-minute break TWO GAME MODES Training Run (free, unlimited): play as much as you want. At the end of each run that reaches a minimum score, you can earn Keys from reward chests. No daily, weekly, or monthly cap. Rewarded Run (costs 1 Key): during the run, collect Coins. Each Coin is one free entry into the prize draw. The Rarity of each Coin, and therefore its prize tier, is randomly assigned at the moment of collection. HOW TO GET KEYS - For free and without limit, by playing Training Runs (primary path) - Optionally, through In-App Purchase, as a convenience to save time Keys earned for free and Keys purchased are strictly identical. The random distribution of Coin Rarity is exactly the same for paying and non-paying players. HOW PRIZES ARE DELIVERED The game itself contains no cryptocurrency, no wallet, and no blockchain technology. Inside the app you only collect Coins and, when you choose to claim, open a screen that links out to an independent third-party wallet. Prizes are denominated in Bitcoin and delivered outside the app as wBTC on the Starknet network, from a smart contract pre-funded by Veggies Labs SA. To receive a prize, you install and control a self-custodial third-party wallet (Braavos). The app never holds, transfers, or processes any digital asset itself; the transfer happens entirely within that wallet. ELIGIBILITY - Players must be 18 years of age or older - The prize draw is unavailable in certain jurisdictions (including several U.S. states, sanctioned countries, and countries restricting the holding of Bitcoin, full list in Terms section 3) - Identity verification (KYC) is required for prize releases exceeding USD 200 cumulatively over any 30-day period, in compliance with Swiss anti-money-laundering law IMPORTANT The free promotional prize draw is operated exclusively by Veggies Labs SA, a Swiss public limited company based in Geneva, as the sole Promoter. Apple Inc. and Google LLC are NOT sponsors of, responsible for conducting, or involved with the prize draw in any manner. The full Terms and Conditions, including the official prize-draw rules, are accessible in the game's settings menu and at veggieslabs.com. By downloading and using the game, you accept the Terms and Conditions. Download Escape Saylor: run, dodge, and take your shot.
