Get a High Score on Subway Surfers
Are your friends all getting higher scores than you in Subway Surfers? Turn the tables on them by taking your game to the next level. With the right tips and tricks, you’ll be topping their scores in no time.
Steps
- Build up your multiplier. The best way to get a higher score quicker is to improve your multiplier. When you first begin playing, your multiplier will be set at x1. Every time you beat a set of missions, you will level up, and your multiplier will permanently increase by one, up to x30. This means that your score will be 30 times what it would normally be if you have a full multiplier.
- Missions include collecting a specific number of coins, jumping a certain number of times, picking up specific power-ups, and more. You can see your active missions by tapping the Missions button at the top of the main menu.
- If there's a mission that you just cannot do for whatever reason, then you can skip it in the shop for a certain number of coins, depending on what level you are on. Your multiplier will still go up like normal if it is the last mission that you need to level up.
- Upgrade your power-ups. The Coin Magnet, Jet Pack and 2X Multiplier are the most powerful pickups for increasing your score. The Coin Magnet will pick up any coin you run past, even if it isn’t in your lane. The Jet Pack will launch you above the course, where you are free to collect coins without worry. The 2X multiplier will double your current multiplier, up to 60x.
- You can upgrade these powerups by spending coins that you earn on runs. Increasing the effectiveness of these powerups can dramatically increase the amount of coins that you earn when you are using them.
- Upgrade your Coin Magnet and Jet Pack first. This will help you early on in the game as you earn coins to unlock more upgrades and complete missions. Once your Multiplier is close to 30x, start upgrading the 2X Multiplier powerup. This will really start to significantly boost your scores.
- Stock up on hoverboards. These can be purchased for coins or won in prize boxes. Hoverboards last for 30 seconds, but their true power comes in taking a hit for you. If you hit an object while riding a hoverboard, your run won’t end. Instead, you’ll be back on foot, continuing your run and increasing your score. You should always have a good stock of hoverboards to use in emergencies when you can’t avoid hitting something.
- Moving forward is one of the two primary ways that you earn score. Hoverboards ensure that you keep moving forward, and your score keeps increasing.
- Have 600 to 900+ boards. Use them when your character already runs too fast for you to handle.
- Collect keys. Keys are a currency that allows you to continue your run when you hit an object. Keys can be found while running through the course, in mystery boxes, or from weekly missions. You can also buy keys for real money. Having a good stock of keys can help keep a good run going a long time.
- Only use keys when you hit something without a board, at 500k+ score.
- Grab a lot of coins. It may seem obvious, but it can’t be stressed enough. For a really high score, you need to be grabbing as many coins as possible. This means using your powerups to their maximum effectiveness, performing perfect runs and lane changes, and not missing the timing of your jumps.
- Practice often. Since every run is different, you can’t just memorize the level and do the same thing over and over until you have the high score. You need to practice so that you can see the patterns coming and react in time. You probably won’t get a very high score when you first start, but after a few weeks of practice, you’ll start to see it creeping closer and closer to that elusive 1,000,000 point total. Keep at it!
Tips
- Try to complete daily challenges. If you complete the word challenge, you will be rewarded with a white mystery box. You can be rewarded with a lot more coins than they would usually give you when not completing any challenges. The box may also hold materials needed to unlock a new character or they may just give you free gifts like trophies and hoverboards.
- Remember that after you get to the fifth daily challenge, you keep getting the best prize until you miss one.
- While you have a coin magnet in the middle of a game, use a hoverboard to get in as many coins as possible.
- Save your coins, because then you will be able to get hoverboards that are faster and have different powers. That way you have a more likely chance of getting a high score.
- You may not need to buy hoverboards. You will earn plenty of hoverboards from mystery boxes from the daily challenge, and from the mystery boxes you will find in these runs.
- Listen to music. You'll be more into the music than the game and you'll eventually zone out and go through the motions with the game.
- Do not look at your score when you are playing, because it will distract you from the game. If you get a new high score at the end, it will tell you on your mobile device screen once your run ends.
- Use score booster and headstart at the start of the run. If you don't, then you won't be able to activate them mid run.
- Getting a high score may take time, so patience will be necessary.
- Collect keys & hoverboards. Those will help you in getting high scores.
- Don't pause the game while a train is in front of you. When you return to the game you will not have enough time to move out of the way.
- You might also see tokens. These are rare. If you want to collect them all, be sure to play subway surfers regularly. You have a limited time to collect these.
