Community missions

One score for the whole community.

During every challenge, every player's runs add up in the community missions. Each of your runs pushes the bar forward: once it's full, everyone who played wins the recoins. The more of us play, the faster it climbs!

Our featured games each have an official room, always open: walk in from your Recalbox, pick ranked or training, and take on whoever is there. For any other game in your library, open your own room and invite whoever you like!
