v0.59.0 — New challenges, PoI videos and lots of polishes

Tag

  • New challenge types:
    • Order the Stops — tap a rail line's shuffled stops into their correct travel order before time runs out.
    • Recreate the Photo — travel to a nearby landmark and submit your own photo matching a reference shot.
    • Border Hop — reach the neighbouring region shaded on your map and win the moment you set foot inside.
    • Geo-Guessing — study three street scenes and drop a pin on a pannable world map; the closer your guess, the bigger the payout, across ten distance tiers (and far guesses still pay, with no penalty for trying).
  • Challenge results now play tailored animated reveals ending in an animated cash payout, and completing a challenge no longer fires two celebrations at once — it's logged as a lasting entry in your event drawer.
  • New Taggers-only chat channel (tabs in the chat window) so taggers can plan the chase without the evader reading along; General still reaches everyone.
  • A new in-game rules guide pops up the first time you play Tag and reopens any time from the HUD's "?" button.
  • Smarter challenge picker — a challenge type you just finished stays out of the picker over a wider area, so you can't farm the same one by barely moving.
  • Find-a-place challenges now play a player-filmed visit video of the spot when one exists, or invite you to film and submit your own.

Points of interest & contributors

  • Watch contributed videos at interesting points of interest as you visit them, crediting their contributors.
  • New contributor profile settings: add a bio and set a profile-wide credit preference.

Maps & transit

  • Ferry and cable-car categories added to the fullscreen points-of-interest map.

Hide & Seek

  • New in-game rules popup.
  • Animated end-of-game result reveal.

Account & dashboard

  • Change your email address from account settings.
  • Revamped Saved Games: per-type tabs, started-at time, and location.
  • Open a knowledge detail view straight from your journal's visited places.

Community

  • New "World Contributions" stat on the public live-stats scoreboard.

Gameplay & stability

  • Auto-walk polish: smoother cadence, better panorama quality (skips 360° photo spheres), and speed-up now pauses while a player auto-walks; minimap re-centres on you.
  • Platform access now requires a ticket departing from your current station.
  • Single-player sessions pause when the lone player disconnects.
  • Fixed a route-finder crash and an issue where action buttons could stay interactive beneath a map overlay.
