Trace Race

About Trace Race

Trace Race, developed by Golem Kin Games, puts two players head-to-head through five line-drawing puzzles — triangles, stars, zigzags, infinity loops, and more. Each puzzle presents a gray outline; the goal is to trace it in one continuous stroke before your rival finishes theirs.

How to Play Trace Race

Tap Race Now on the main menu to find a rival. After the countdown, the first puzzle appears on the board.

Trace the Shape

Press and drag (or click and drag) along the gray outline, keeping your finger or mouse held down the entire time. Releasing wipes your progress and restarts that puzzle. Drifting too far from the line also lifts the pen and forces a restart from the beginning of that shape.

Avoid Crossing Yourself

Drawing over a line you have already traced is not allowed. A small overlap budget exists at corners and crossings, but exceeding it sends you back to the start of that puzzle.

Sharp Corners

Peaks, elbows, and tight turns are more forgiving — cutting a corner slightly will not break your stroke.

Win the Match

Clear all 5 puzzles before your rival. If both players finish all five, the fastest total time wins. When times are tied, the player with fewer restarts takes the match.
