4. Complete Those Archery Challenges As Fast As You Can

WriterParty.com noted that completing those archery challenges in a quick manner gets you more points than usual:

The quicker that you shoot the targets in the archery round, the more points that you will earn for them. You can either tap or swipe in the direction of the target in order to shoot it. Tapping works fine early on, but the farther you run, the faster you go, and when this time comes, swiping will be far more effective than tapping.

5. Keep A Close Eye on the Trail Ahead

WriterParty.com also made sure to mention that players should keep a close eye on the road ahead during your stage runs:

Stages tend to get very confusing very quickly due to all of the twists and turns. Always be scanning down the road so that you don’t get thrown off by a sudden turn, because they can ruin a perfectly good run very quickly. Usually, you’ll find that you don’t have to make as many moves as you think you do in order to stay on the right path.

6. Break Down Those Breakable Objects As Much As Possible

As you run through each district, make sure you slide through all the breakable objects that you’ll spot along the way. There’s a different category of materials within each district to collect, so break down as many boxes and barrels as you can. There’s some material icons you can collect too, but you’ll get even more materials by being a bit more destructive with you sliding maneuvers. Your newer and much stronger arrows will thank you for your material collecting efforts.

7. Don’t Jump Into Lanes Too Fast

Switching lanes comes with the infinite running territory. The same rules that apply to other games in the genre applies here – don’t switch into lanes too fast if there’s a moving obstacle still making its way within that lane. Every lane you move on over to should be as safe as possible, which means you need to switch lanes when there’s as much free space as possible.

8. Log The Game Onto Facebook

There’s some multiplayer racing here if you’re looking for a quick challenge. To get in some multiplayer district races with your friends. make sure you log into the game through Facebook.

More downloadable districts will be making their way over to Panem Run over time, so make sure you’re ready for them once they come. By the time these new stages come, your attributes should be upgraded to a magnificent level.

10. What Arrow Types Are There?

Modojo.com released some tips regarding the arrow types you’ll be able to craft:

There are three different arrow types you can craft in the game. Each one provides a higher or lower Sparks bonus than the others, but the most beneficial ones take much longer to craft.
