The World Tour turns the bot ladder into a journey: ten worlds, from Ivory Court to Sakura, each with its own bots, title and look.

Nothing is locked away

Every bot is still free to play any time from Play a bot. The tour is a path, not a paywall. Progress is saved in your browser, and with a free account it syncs to your account.
