Play nowWhat is Clash Karts?
Clash Karts is a free kart battle game that runs in your web browser. Up to eight karts drive round a beach arena, grab items such as plunger rockets, homing seagulls and whoopee cushions from item boxes, and use them to knock each other out. A match lasts three minutes.
Is Clash Karts free?
Yes. Clash Karts is free to play, there is nothing to buy, and no real money is used anywhere in the game. It is paid for by ads from Google, which may appear on the site's pages and between matches.
Do I need to download or install anything?
No. Open clashkarts.com and play. The game runs in the browser and needs WebGL 2, which current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari support.
Can I play Clash Karts on my phone?
Yes. On a phone or tablet the game shows an on-screen stick to drive and a button to fire, and phones short on memory get lighter textures so the game still runs smoothly.
How many players can play together?
A room holds up to eight karts. Computer racers top a room up to six, so there are always rivals, and real players take their seats as they arrive.
How do I play with friends?
Press Host, choose a game mode and pick Private, then share the room's five-letter code or its invite link. Your friends type the code under Join, or just open the link.
Can I play alone or offline?
Yes. Host a room and pick Solo to race against computer racers, entirely on your device. Once the game has loaded once, Solo practice also works without an internet connection.
What game modes are there?
There are four. Classic: every knockout is a point. Bounty: the leader wears a crown and wrecking them is worth double. Derby: no weapons, you wreck rivals by ramming them. King of the Mound: stand on the sandcastle mound alone to score.
What are the controls?
On a keyboard, W or the up arrow accelerates, S or the down arrow brakes and reverses, A and D or the left and right arrows steer, and Space uses your item. Hold Tab to see the scores and press Esc to pause. Gamepads and touch screens work too.
Do I need an account?
No. You can play as a guest, and your name, racer, progress and prizes stay in your browser. An optional account, with an email address or a Google sign-in, keeps them across your devices. Accounts are for players aged 13 and over.
What are coins and the Jackpot for?
Every match pays coins, and so do the daily challenges and every level you gain. Spend coins at the Jackpot machine in the menu to win kart paints and hats. They only change how your kart looks: every racer drives exactly the same.
