The much-awaited Snail Trail Mega Races just went live on August 22, 2022, with the dev team overcoming delays and other hiccups in the process.

“Mega Races are now live on #Avalanche! Bigger races, bigger rewards. Are your snails ready for the big leagues?” the team announced.

Mega Races

On August 10, Snail Trail introduced Mega Races to its avid fans, while shedding some light on what players could expect from the upcoming game mode. 

According to the team, only one Mega Race will be held at a time, and it will feature a minimum of 16 snails, and a maximum of 64 snails.

Interested speedsters can enter the race using the tokens $AVAX and $WAVAX, which will be accumulated as a prize pool, and rewarded to the top 25% fastest snails. 10% of the entry fee will be allocated for $SLIME liquidity to help make the game more sustainable.

In-Game Shop

Along with Mega Races, one of the recent updates include the introduction of the in-game shop and a new ticket system that will protect racers from bots. In case players can’t find a race to join last, they have an option to purchase mission tickets. 

The limit on mission tickets will be -50 per snail, with the snails becoming slower if they exceed the limit. After the first week, the snails will have to enter as last, or buy tickets from the in-game shop, before they can attend another race.
