Community Guidelines

Last updated: 18 October 2026

Relic Rush is a race between rivals. You will block, out-manoeuvre and steal from each other, and that is the point. These guidelines keep the rivalry on the board. They apply to your username, to online matches and the lobby, and to anything you send us. They are part of our Terms of Service.

Accounts, and so online play, are for players aged 13 and over.

Be a good rival

• Play to the end. Leaving a match half-way spoils it for everyone else in it.
• Keep the rivalry on the board. Steal the relic, not the fun. There is no chat in the game, so your moves do the talking.

Usernames

Your username is the one thing about you other players see, in matches, in the lobby and on the leaderboards. It must not contain or suggest:

• Harassment or threats aimed at anyone;
• Hate: anything that attacks or demeans people for their race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability or age;
• Sexual or graphic content;
• Personal information, yours or anyone else's: real names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses or social media handles;
• Web addresses, advertising or spam;
• Impersonation of another player, a moderator, or Fun Based Games staff;
• Anything illegal.

Every new name is checked at sign-up against a filter of offensive words and a list of reserved names (such as admin, moderator, staff and our brand names). The filter cannot catch everything, so a name that breaks these rules may be renamed by an administrator. If that happens to you, we will email you to say why and how to appeal.

Fair play

• No cheating. No bots, scripts, macros, modified game clients, or tools that play for you or show you hidden information.
• No bug abuse. If you find a bug that gives an advantage (a spell that fires twice, a move the rules should block), report it to us instead of using it. Deliberately breaking a match, tampering with game state, or sending fake results to the leaderboards can get you banned.
• No teaming up. Relic Rush has no team play: every player races alone. Working with another player to decide a result against a third is not allowed.
• One person, one account. Do not make extra accounts to get around a restriction or to fix matches.

Talking with other players: our Discord

The game has no chat. If you want to talk tactics, find opponents or meet other players, join our official Discord server, linked from the game's main menu. Discord is a separate place: its own server rules, and Discord's own Terms of Service, Community Guidelines and Privacy Policy, apply there. To report something that happened on Discord, use Discord's own reporting tools, or tell us.

Reporting a problem

If someone breaks these rules, or you see something you believe is illegal, email contact@funbasedgames.com with:

• the player's username;
• the room code, if it happened in an online game;
• roughly when it happened;
• what happened, and why you think it breaks the rules or the law;
• a screenshot, if you have one.

We do not record matches move by move, so a screenshot or a clear description helps a lot. For a bug rather than a player, use Report a bug in the game.

What happens after a report

We read every report. We will reply to you, look into what happened, and may ask you for more details. We never tell the reported player who reported them.

If a player has broken the rules, then depending on how serious it is and whether it has happened before, we may:

1. Warn them;
2. Rename their account;
3. Suspend their account for a time;
4. Permanently ban their account. For cheating, attacks on the service or serious harassment, we may do this straight away, without the earlier steps.

We email the account holder to say what we did and why. If you think a decision about your account was wrong, reply to that email or write to us. A person will look at it again with fresh eyes and tell you the outcome.

Thanks for helping keep the race fun. See you at the Oracle.
