Rainbow Obby

What happens in a game

An obby is an obstacle course: you start at one end and try to reach the other by running, jumping and climbing over whatever is in the way. Rainbow Obby is a multiplayer version, so other players are on the course with you.

The main mode is Classic, which spreads hundreds of obstacles across three worlds. Poki also lists a Car mode with ramps and jumps, a Bike mode, and further modes named stairs, troll, river, plane and cart. In all, the game has more than ten modes, so the same idea is repeated in different forms.

In some modes, other players can troll you. That means the people sharing your course may get in your way on purpose, which changes a solo challenge into something less predictable.

Poki's description does not say which keys or gestures the game uses, or which devices it supports. Because we do not guess, those fields on this page say they are not listed. Open the game page on Poki to see whatever instructions it shows when it loads.

Input

Habits worth building

1. 1Pick one mode and stay with it for a while. Each mode has its own rules, and switching constantly makes it hard to learn any of them.
2. 2Treat a fall as information. On a long course, the point where you keep failing is usually a single jump you have not timed yet.
3. 3In the modes with vehicles, the ramps and jumps reward a steady approach. Slowing down before a gap is often safer than hoping to clear it at speed.
4. 4In troll modes, expect interference from other players and don't take it personally. It is part of how those modes are described.
5. 5Take short breaks on very large courses. Repeated attempts at the same section can turn into repeating the same mistake.

Who it fits

Players who like platformers and are happy to repeat a section many times. It fits people who enjoy variety, since the modes change the vehicle or the rules, and those who like seeing other players on the same course.

Downsides to know

• Because it is multiplayer and has modes where players interfere with each other, the experience depends partly on who else is online.
• Poki gives no controls or device information in the description we read, so we cannot tell you whether it works well on your phone or keyboard.
• Large obstacle courses with hundreds of obstacles can be long and demanding, and Poki does not give a typical session length.
• The game is hosted on Poki, a separate platform that may show advertising.
