The full version of Pit Panic introduces a new way to compete that you did not encounter in the demo: Weekly Sprints.

Weekly Sprints will take place regularly, giving players the opportunity to complete a special run, improve their time throughout the week, and compete for the best position on the leaderboard.

To launch this new feature, the first event is a special one-time Weekly Challenge. It follows the same basic rules as future Weekly Sprints, but comes with a unique reward: up to 20 of the best players across all platforms will have their names immortalized inside Pit Panic.

Once you have completed the base game, you can enter the challenge and compete for the fastest completion time.

You have the whole week to finish your run, return to the challenge, and improve your result before the deadline.

After this special Weekly Challenge ends, regular Weekly Sprints will continue. You will still be able to compete for leaderboard positions, but the opportunity to have your name added to the game applies only to this one-time event.

How does it work?

  • Complete the base game to unlock the Weekly Challenge.

  • Enter the current challenge and finish it as quickly as possible.

  • Replay the challenge to improve your time.

  • Record your best result before the deadline.

Challenge deadline

  • Czechia: Sunday, August 2, 2026 at 01:00 CEST

  • Great Britain: Sunday, August 2, 2026 at 00:00 BST

  • Japan: Sunday, August 2, 2026 at 08:00 JST

We will select the top 20 players across all platforms and announce the results after the challenge ends.

Get your name set in stone

To celebrate this special one-time Weekly Challenge, we want to honor the players who prove themselves.

Up to 20 of the best players across all platforms combined will have their names immortalized inside Pit Panic.

Their names will be set in stone in a rare in-game level dedicated to the players who conquered this challenge.

Regular Weekly Sprints will give you more opportunities to compete for leaderboard positions, but this is your only chance to earn a permanent place inside the game.

Complete the base game, enter the Weekly Challenge, and show everyone how fast you can climb.

Good luck!

The clock is already ticking.
