The **Endless Rider** was a limited-time bonus system implemented in version 1.29.5.

## About

This bonus rewarded players for riding more animals in the stampede (as well as, by extension, playing the game more). The game gave rewards for jumping on various milestones of animals. The main incentive was to win a free animal, which was the prize for riding 520 animals in total. The free animal could be any random animal that the player had not tamed before, excluding epic and VIP animals. In the first instance, these animals **did** include purchase animals, which allowed players to obtain one for free. However, this appeared to be a mistake, with purchase animals unable to be received for free in later Endless Riders.

## Notes

1. ↑ If the player had already obtained all animals, including purchase animals, they would receive 5 wheel tickets instead.
2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 If the player had already obtained all animals, excluding purchase animals, they would receive 5 wheel tickets instead.

Missions

**Missions** are objectives which the player must complete a certain increasing amount to unlock boss missions or to unlock habitat and ship upgrades in the Space Zoo. Missions can be completed for different purposes in the Sky Zoo and the Space Zoo.

## Sky Zoo

In the Sky Zoo, missions give coins () and count towards the amount of missions needed to unlock the next boss mission. They are rated by stars, being either 1, 2 or 3 stars, where 3 star missions are the most difficult and the ones that give the most , and 1 star missions being the easiest but the ones that give the least . Usually, missions are given to the player every 6 hours, however with a Mission Mule, the player gets unlimited missions instantly. The player can also watch advertisements to generate new missions or replace missions that they are stuck on if they have wi-fi or mobile data.

### Mission Value

Sky Zoo missions become worth more as the player reaches new zones. Here is the list of values for missions. All previous zones' mission value will be the same as the highest zone the player has reached, so if the player has reached Tundra, their 3 star Savannah missions will be worth 10000.

 Jungle | 200
 Mountains | 600
 Outback | 2000
 Tundra | 5000

## Space Zoo

In the Space Zoo, missions count toward to amount of missions needed to unlock the next boss mission, as well as every three completed missions counting toward a new ship or habitat upgrade. Missions appear in 3 instantly, with the player only able to get new missions once all three missions given have been completed. In all Space Zoo missions, the player is required to collect a certain amount of a collectible exclusive to that island, such as eggs in Jurassic, vases in Olympus, acorns in Garden, and lanterns in Great Wall. The player cannot skip or replace Space Zoo missions, although missions change by themselves if the player doesn't complete them for some time.
