A video game called subway surfers  is an endless runner. Jake (the game's initial character) or any other character sprays graffiti on a subway, is caught in the act by the inspector and his dog, and is subsequently pursued by them as the game begins by tapping the touchscreen. To avoid colliding with approaching objects, such as moving subways, poles, tunnel walls, and barricades, the player can swipe up, down, left, or right while sprinting. More points can be earned by quickly swiping as the speed increases. The game ends if there is a crash, however the player can keep running by using the keyboard or by seeing an advertisement. Coins, keys, score multipliers, super shoes, jetpacks, magnets, mystery boxes, and power jumps are just a few of the things the player can gather. Power jumpers propel the player up into the air, jetpacks enable flight, coin magnets draw coins to the track, super sneakers enable higher jumps, and score multipliers increase the rate at which points are awarded. Items that persist for roughly 30 seconds and let the character avoid collisions include hoverboards.

Rewards are given for making original gameplay moves through Daily Challenges and Season Hunts. In daily challenges, the player must gather the letters that make up a game-related word, like "scoring" or "jump"; this is also known as "word hunting." [4][5] Accuracy of the player is used to score various tasks in missions. Using coins, keys, in-game purchases, gathering particular objects, linking to a Facebook account, or other means, up to 18 characters can be unlocked. Most characters wear up to two distinct clothes at once. The same techniques can also be used to unlock up to 17 hoverboards. Each player-assistance feature varies depending on the individual. A new character and hoverboard will be briefly accessible until the following update when the game upgrades to a new place.
