How to Play Subway Surfers

Dodge Railway Hazards

You run forward automatically and must move quickly to stay alive. You need to jump over stationary barriers and slide under low-hanging signs. Moving trains are the biggest danger because they can hit you from the front. 

Collect Power Ups

Various items appear on the tracks, like coin magnets and jetpacks. The jetpack allows you to fly above the trains, where it is safe to collect many coins. The 2x multiplier doubles your score for a short period of time. 

Use Hoverboards for Protection

You can activate a hoverboard by tapping the screen twice during your run. The board protects you from a single crash and keeps your run going. It is a good strategy to save boards for very crowded areas with many obstacles. Unlock different boards with unique trails and special abilities in the shop.
