Live Race

Leave and return to a Live Race

Leave the countdown or gameplay view while the shared race continues, then return before the deadline if you want to resume.

Available locallyJourney guide

Before you start

  • Be in a Live Race countdown or active round. Leaving the view does not leave the room or pause its clock.

Steps

  1. Choose Leave race view

    In the countdown or active game, choose Leave race view to open the confirmation sheet.

    Open the Live Race: countdown guide

  2. Confirm or stay

    Choose Stay in race to close the sheet without leaving. Choose Leave race view to return to the room; the shared countdown or deadline continues.

  3. Return before the deadline

    Use Return to race from the room. A still-running attempt resumes with the saved answer prefix and original deadline.

  4. After the deadline

    The room waits for finalization. You cannot extend the clock by leaving, refreshing, or returning later.

What to expect

  • The confirmation states that leaving does not pause or submit the shared round.
  • An explicit host end cancels the race; a host disconnect alone does not.

These are silent local synthetic preview captures. Account clips and screenshots show the unconfigured guest preview, not the locally prepared member flow. Some demos use 5-, 15-, or 20-second timers; private invitation details are hidden. If playback is unavailable, use the captions when present or read the full transcript below.

Synthetic local review: this 20-second race shows how to leave the view while its shared clock keeps running.

After one answer, Leave opens a confirmation that explains the shared timer will not pause.

Stay closes the sheet. The one-answer prefix remains in the same attempt.

Confirmed Leave returns to the room. The original deadline is unchanged while the host continues.

Return to race restores the same attempt and one-answer prefix before the original deadline.

This capture is a local review preview with synthetic players.
