Plus, prizes rotate weekly, giving you fresh items to chase, and any duplicates you land on are instantly converted into bonus Drops for the Drop Shop! Don’t miss out on this week’s exclusives!
What will make the spinners appear?
The new 2026 spinners are tied to completing Routes featured in Stages 1 - 4.
The Mystery Spinners are tied to completing a Segment (i.e. a QOM / KOM or Sprint segment). Some segments may be used on multiple routes.
Will each Mystery Spinner have the same unlocks or will they differ from one spinner to another?
There are 4 unique collections of unlocks shared across 8 Mystery Spinners. That means each Mystery Spinner can be found on 2 completely different segments in Watopia.
If you already have the unlock, will it grant bonus Drops or XP?
Duplicate rewards will grant you Drops bonuses. Drops bonuses will be tiered based on the rarity of the unlock. Drops bonuses will range from 10k to 40k.
Ride On!
