About Happy Wheels

Discover Happy Wheels

Happy Wheels is a physics-based obstacle game with a strange sense of humor. You pick a character and a vehicle before entering a dangerous course. The track may look harmless for a few seconds. Then a saw swings across the path. Spikes wait behind a ramp. One bad landing can send your character flying off the vehicle.

Which Character Fits the Level?

Different characters come with different vehicles and movement styles. Wheelchair Guy, Segway Guy, Irresponsible Dad, and Effective Shopper all handle differently.

A bicycle may feel better on one course. A shopping cart may create a completely different problem. Try another character if your current vehicle keeps struggling with the same obstacle.

Simple Tricks for Better Runs

Slow down when learning a new course. Watch the landing angle after every jump. Brake before tight hazards. Keep the vehicle balanced on slopes. Try another character when a section feels impossible. Learn from each crash instead of repeating the same move. Save risky shortcuts for later attempts.
