THE SWEEPER
Last checked · Checked against the development build
How do you beat THE SWEEPER in RISK IT!?
Run the bridge to the FINISH platform in under 16 seconds without getting hit. Two of the three arms are low enough to jump; the middle one is a tall wall you have to time. Touch an arm and it sweeps you off; fall and you bounce off the net below. Gold is 6.5 seconds or faster.

The three arms
| Arm | Type | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| First | Low bar, full width, spins around a centre post | Jump it. Go around the post on either side |
| Second | Tall wall, one-sided, pivots beside the bridge | Can't be jumped. Wait for it to swing past |
| Third | Low bar, spins faster than the first | Jump it with tighter timing |
The arms are real physics objects, so they push anything in their way, including spectators who wander onto the bridge.
The fails
- Swept: touching an arm flings you sideways in the direction it was spinning (SWEPT, CLEAN SWEEP).
- Fall: dropping off the bridge lands you in a trampoline net far below, which bounces you back up (SPLAT, GRAVITY WINS).
- Timeout: still on the bridge after 16 seconds.
Tips
- The panel docks at the top in this challenge so you can see the bridge. Space is your jump here.
- Walk speed is 16 for everyone during the run.
- For gold, don't stop for the low arms: jump them in stride, and arrive at the wall as it opens.
