Color Claim

📖 Read the strategy guide ›

Color Claim is a colourful territory battle against three to five computer rivals. Leave your own land and your block draws a trail behind it. Get back home safely and everything inside the loop becomes yours, even land that belonged to a rival. But while you are outside you are vulnerable: if anyone crosses your trail, you are out. Cut through the trails of your rivals to knock them out, and hold the largest share of the map when the two-minute timer ends.

How to play

  1. Your block keeps moving; swipe or use the arrow keys to turn.
  2. Leave your coloured land to draw a trail.
  3. Return to your land to claim the area inside the loop.
  4. Cross a rival’s trail to knock them out of the round.
  5. Never touch your own trail, and keep rivals away from it.
  6. The round ends when time runs out or every rival is out; your score is the percentage you own.

Tips

  • Start with small, safe loops close to home.
  • Watch the minimap and head back when a rival comes near your trail.
  • Rivals are most vulnerable when they wander far from their land, so look for a long trail to cut.
