How It Works

Wipeouts and Recovery

Last checked · Checked against the development build

What happens when you fail in RISK IT!?

A fail launches your character as a ragdoll with that challenge's gag (a trapdoor, a boxing glove, a catapult, a blast, a sweep or a spring). A headline stamps across the screen, the camera chases you, and your trail and burst play. About 2.6 seconds later you're back on your feet next to the pad, facing it, ready to retry.

You can't get lost

Every launch is aimed back toward the hub, and anyone who ends up in the void is caught and returned. The ragdoll is physics on your own character, so other players see your fail exactly as you do.
