Do Not Stop Beginner Guide: How to Play

From the lobby pad to your first finish

Last checked Nov 10, 2026Do Not Stop guide team

Quick answer

Step on a pad in the lobby, pick a route (Route 1610 is the one marked Easy) and press Drive Alone, or invite a passenger who reads the radar. Then keep driving: W and S drive and brake, A and D steer, Space drifts around corners. Don't stop, because something chases you the whole way. Reach the shelter at the end of the road and the game logs your time and a medal.

What the passenger does

The pad menu has two slots: Driver and Passenger. The passenger slot says Reads Radar, and the East Hollow Way loading tip spells it out: "Passenger? Look down at the scanner. It shows the road ahead, and the Runner in red when it's near."

You can also press Drive Alone (it shows 1 Player) and skip the passenger. The pad menu has an Anyone Can Join toggle and an Endless toggle, which was set to Off in the footage.

Reading the screen while you drive

A timer sits at the top of the windscreen with a mile counter under it (it read MILE 0 / 7 on Route 1610 and MILE 3 / 11 on East Hollow Way). An arrow icon shows the next turn, and the speed shows in MPH at the bottom right.

The loading tips teach two habits: hit Space to drift around corners, and stay off the grass, which "has less grip and drags the car down".

Spend credits when you can

The garage has Shop, Profile, Cars, Cosmetics and Codes tabs. Cars unlock by level: the Hartmann at level 4, the Rovelle at 8, the Kanzaki at 13 and the Branca at 20. Redeem the working codes on our codes page for a few hundred credits.

Quick tips

  • Start on Route 1610. It is the only route the game marks Easy, and the walkthrough videos start there too.
  • Take a friend as passenger on the harder routes: the scanner shows the Runner in red when it is near.
  • Drift with Space on corners instead of braking. Braking is the one thing the game tells you not to do.
  • Keep wheels on the road. The East Hollow Way tip says grass drags the car down.
  • If you are caught after passing a mile sign, you can retry from that sign. See the retries page.
