Row Row

Ah, there’s nothing like canoeing in the great outdoors! Breathe in the fresh mountain air, bask in the sun’s warming glow, and…try not to capsize as you plummet down a roaring whitewater rapid.

OK, so Row Row isn’t the most relaxing boat trip. But it’s definitely a fun one. And with simple controls—tap to paddle and steer your craft past obstacles as quickly as possible—it will make a splash with players of every persuasion.

If you’ve got a competitive streak, however, Row Row’s all about climbing leaderboards by shaving precious seconds off your runs. And you’ll need to do just that to beat this high-score challenge.

Your task: First unlock level 5 (it should only take a few minutes), then masterfully tap your way under our time of 45:08 seconds. While Row Row offers all sorts of different boats, to keep this challenge a test of pure skill you’ll use the starter kayak.

A few tips for snappy paddling:

Get a fresh start
A clean Row Row run is a good Row Row run. Slam into some rocks during the first big waterfall? Bang headfirst into a hippo? While you might be able to make up a second or two, don’t be afraid to restart if things get off track early on.

Chase ghosts
Row Row helpfully lets you race against a ghost version of your best run. This not only gives you a sense of how you’re faring but serves as an incredibly useful reminder of trouble spots. If your ghost has pulled off an impressive run, try to follow along and see where you made mistakes. On subsequent runs, that’s where to focus your energy.

Think ahead
Anticipate sharp turns by steering your boat early. Remember: You can’t maneuver in midair, so take jumps in a straight line while holding down one paddle if you need to turn abruptly when you land. This is crucial when steering out of the first big jump at the 10-second mark.
