Menu (formerly Midway)
The MENU grid that replaced the Midway — every tile and what unlocks it, plus every machine and minigame and where it opens.
Overview
The MIDWAY — a carnival strip with one game tile per world — is gone. With so many modes in the game it was replaced by the MENU: a grid of small square tiles, four to a row, grouped under section headers. A locked tile shows a padlock and, under it, what it needs: a hoard gate and its number, a player level, or TASKS for the intro tasks. The full tour of the MENU and the HUD is on Menu and HUD; this page lists the tiles and doubles as the hub for every machine and minigame, whether it sits on the MENU, inside the Arcade cabinet or fires straight off the board.
NOTE
Most modes no longer open with a world. They open by breaking gates in THE HOARD — Boss Raid, Ball Grove and Ticket Trove included. The ARMORY, MERITS and SKILL TREE tiles also need THE HOARD open (it opens on the intro tasks).
The MENU tiles
Read from the game's own tile list, section by section. The ARCADE and the BAG are not tiles: the Arcade is a tab on the bottom bar and the bag is a pop-up on the HUD.
TEMPORARY
Everything under this header is wiped by a prestige — the ore bank, the upgrade rows and the bounty board's points. The header is the warning.
| Tile | Opens with | Wiki page | |
|---|---|---|---|
 | PRESTIGE | Player level 10, through intro task 20 (Reach level 10) | prestige |
 | CRAFTING | Intro task 2 (Collect 25 Tin ore) | crafting |
 | UPGRADES | Intro task 3 (Craft 5 Tin bars) | upgrades |
 | BOUNTIES |  Gate 10 (BOUNTIES) | bounties |
PERMANENT UNLOCKS
Listed in the order the MENU shows them: the intro ladder's tiles first, then every gate unlock by its gate number. None of these reset, and accounts older than the intro ladder have every intro-task tile open.

Tips
- The Arcade is where coins go — everything else on this page pays coins, balls, gems or gold balls into your wallet, and the Arcade is the main place that spends coins in bulk (the Upgrades page's higher rows take coins too). Read Arcade Level to see why that matters.
- Bonus Wheel, Jackpot Frenzy and the dice bonus all trigger from the board, so they scale with how many balls you launch. The MENU modes and the Arcade's mini-rounds are the ones you choose to sit down at.
- Break gates early: nearly every tile under PERMANENT UNLOCKS is waiting on a gate, not on a world.
- Chest Rush only runs on Cake Party plays — bank them during the event and spend them when your pets are set up for loot.
