🏁 The Big Race

Pick your racers, pick your names, and let the commentator do the rest.

How to play The Big Race

  1. Each name gets a runner, and their character emoji becomes the jockey.
  2. Choose your racers in the options: 🐎 horses, 🐖 pigs, 🦆 ducks, 🚀 rockets or 🐌 snails. Each has its own track, hazards and commentary.
  3. Every race, the field is lined up fresh and the finish post is moved — so no two races look alike.
  4. Turn comeback drama up and the leader gets reeled in; turn it off for a flat-out sprint.

Your list is shared across every game on Pickyroo — set it up once here and the wheel, the races and the bracket will all be ready to go with the same names.

Questions

Is the winner decided before the race?

No. This is a real simulation running at 60 frames a second, and whoever crosses the post first wins. Every runner's base speed is drawn from the same distribution, so it is fair in the same way a real race is.

What is the difference between the racers?

The track, the hazards and the commentary. Pigs sit down in the mud, ducks get caught in whirlpools, rockets lose engines and snails meet a pebble that ruins their afternoon. The underlying race is identical and equally fair.

What do the numbers in the roster do?

They nudge a runner's baseline speed, like a fancied horse. It is a small edge on purpose — a 3 should be worth backing, not a certainty.

Can I use this for a charity duck race?

That is exactly what it is for. Paste your list of sponsors, pick ducks, share the link so everyone can see their duck, then run it on the big screen.
