Temple Run
Tips tricks and Cheats for android
Those infinite runner games are a big hit these days in the mobile gaming space. Everywhere you look, you’ll spot someone on the train/bus having a good ol’ time with some type of mobile game. The one game you’ll probably catch folks playing a lot is Temple Run 2. We know some of you gamers out there can’t get enough of this fast-paced running game, so we’re going to make sure you do your best while you’re playing it 24/7. These are the top tips cheats that you’ll need to know for Temple Run.
Upgrades
When you are not playing, or are at the main menu you can access the Store button to access the in-game store to purchase upgrades and new characters to play as. Note: You can earn the coins necessary to purchase these items, but you may also buy coins to speed up the process. Be careful before making any purchases with real money. Upgrades are purchased from the in-game store, but can only then be used when picked up while playing (a silhouette of the upgrade’s icon will appear in the air).
- Mega Coin – This is a coin that is worth up to 100 coins when grabbed. Each time you upgrade the coin, it will become worth more and more.
- Coin Magnet – For a short time, you do not need to bother with tilting your device, as the coins will come to you. Each time you upgrade this, the duration of the upgrade will last longer.
- Invisibility – You will become invisible for a time while using this upgrade, making you invincible as well. Platforms will make paths so that you can’t fall of of them, and the mutants will not attack you. As you upgrade Invisibility, it will come to last longer.
- Boost – Boost will make you run at an extreme speed, and will also make you invincible for its duration. Using this upgrade combined with Coin Magnet (if you can get lucky enough) makes for a good score run. Upgrading this will make it last longer.
- Coin Multiplier - This upgrade will make the coins you collect worth more, as the distance traveled is greater. This is done by making the red, yellow, and blue coins appear on the platforms and they are worth a lot more than regular coins. A good example of this is the red coin will appear only after you make it to 1000m. Upgrading this will add different coins.
Utilities and Characters
Utilities are one off use items that you can purchase, such as the Resurrection Wings, Small Boost, and Mega Boost.
- Resurrection Wings – These will automatically resurrect you when activated. Be careful though, they will disappear if they are activated and not used. To use it, you need to tap on the wing icon that shows up in the top right corner of the screen during gameplay.
- Small Boost – Will appear near the top of the screen when you have purchased one. Tapping on it will boost you 1000m forward so that you can start gathering coins faster.
- Mega Boost – Works just like the Small Boost, but will boost you to 2500m instead of 1000m when used.
New characters are also available to purchase in the store and are usually very expensive. While buying a new character is purely cosmetic, it can be neat to play as an Indiana Jones lookalike.
Leaderboards
- Some of the most fun you can have with Temple Run is when you are competing against friends for high scores. After you have failed in a run, you can tap on the Game Center icon to access these leaderboards.
- Once you’re in the leaderboards, you can compare your score with your friends, sort the leaderboard by week, today, or all time. You may even become good enough to get a top spot on the worldwide leaderboard.
Tips
1. Get Yourself Some Free Coins Before You Start Running
Before you even start running into the wilderness of Temple Run 2, make sure you nab some free coins first. To do that, head into to the in-game app store and select “Get Free Stuff.” Now its time to get your social media connection on! “Like” the game on Facebook, follow it on Twitter and you’ll end up nabbing 250 extra free coins. Another bit of free in-game goodies that you’ll make sure you wanna grab is a free gem. All you have to do to nab that gem is to just do the whole Facebook like thing. Congrats on getting some coins and a free gem before you even started playing!
2. Take to The Air Before As Soon As You See Cliff Hangers
Cliff Hangers can be literal heart stoppers. It’s never unusual for someone to totally freak out as soon as they see these tough-to-navigate looking areas. Stay calm as soon as you see one safe that’s completely absent and one side that’s still intact. Here’s a good tip – when you spot a cliff hanger, jump. While you’re still in the air, lean towards the safe side of the cliff hanger you’re currently dealing with. During some of the faster stage runs, your reaction time to Cliff Hangers won’t be on point as much. Just go ahead and jump to the safe side instead of running into them. Save yourself the frustration.
3. Place A High Priority on Improving The Right Upgrades
Those upgrades are what’s going to be the difference between getting a super high score or a saddening final score. Once you’re at the upgrade menu, make sure to spruce up your coin upgrades first. Secondly, you should pay attention to the score multiplier increases and pickup spawns upgrades. Getting these upgrades to a higher level will aid you in getting more coins, higher scores and those all-too-helpful power up’s during the tougher stages. If you’re one of these folks that wants to keep your eyes on the trail, make sure you throw a lot of points into the coin magnet ability. The shield duration and boost distance upgrades aren’t super integral to your stage completion, but try and give them some attention anyway.
4. Just Keep Your Mine Cart Tilted If You Want To Win
Those underground cart portions of the game are some of the more interesting parts of this sequel. While they may be fun, they’re also pretty hard to master. Do like us and just keep the cart tilted to the right direction if you wanna have a higher success rate. It might sound crazy, but this method works better than just getting ready to tilt as soon as you feel like the time is right. While you’re in the cart, try and aim for the gems that are easier to obtain. Those hard-to-reach gems are hard to reach for a reason. Once you get good enough at these mine cart sections, then go on ahead and pick up those hard-to-reach gems. Just keep your eyes peeled for those sudden forks on the track and those entirely missing tracks.
5. Make Sure You Complete A Stage’s Objectives As Much As Possible
Temple Run 2 will challenge you with in-game objectives that you should definitely take aim at. Every time you spot a new objective on your Objectives screen, take note of it and complete it.

We know the coin collecting and higher scores mileage is what most of you will aim for, but your best bet is to complete those objectives.
6. Pick The Right Powerups for Your Preferred Playstyle
There’s a slew of powerups in Temple Run 2, but make sure you know which ones match up with the way you play. The Shield is cool for those players who have a harder time dealing with tiles, small walls and rollers. The coin magnet ability is one of the better powerups, since it collects coins for you and lets you focus on just running that infinite track. For those that are looking to do some super long runs, keep an eye out for those Boost powerups. Those will get you farther and keep you safe from all those damn obstacles.
7. Ignore Those Powerups That Are Close to the Edge
This might seem like common sense to some of you, but it still must be said – try and ignore those powerups that just happen to lie next to a pitfall or cliff. If you manage to pick them up, good for you. But the chances of getting some powerups are lower than the survival odds of you just leaving theme alone. Fight the temptation and just keep running pass those powerups. Your final score will thank you for it.
8. Utilize Those Jump and Slide Combo
One move that will definitely get you far is the jump and slide combo. Some stages will throw obstacles and quick turns right next to each other. There’s a way to be get past these seemingly impossible pit stops. Use a jump or slide before these sections and you” turn the corner without a care in the world. One other cool tip? While you’re sliding, you can immediately enter into a jump.
9. Lean Around Those Red Tiles
Those damn red tiles can knock you down pretty quickly if your reaction time isn’t up to par. You may instinctively jump once you spot some red tiles, which works sometimes. But during some of the harder stages, these red tiles could be immediately followed by obstacles. Jumping might not be the smartest option for those instances. Do the right thing and try to lean around those red tiles. This method will save you from the dissatisfaction of jumping red tiles and landing on some spiked wheels.
