About Talking Tom Gold Run

Switch lanes and dodge traffic while you grab your gold as the run speeds up and gets harder to control. Use the gold bars you collect to unlock characters like Angela and Hank or upgrade homes to open new worlds. Play Talking Tom Gold Run for free on Poki and see if you can catch the sneaky Rakoon!

How Talking Tom Gold Run works

Your character runs forward automatically across 3 lanes.

• Move left and right to avoid obstacles.
• Jump over low hazards and slide under signs and barriers.

At first, the obstacles are simple. Then they start coming closer together. Trucks block one lane while barriers close another, leaving you a split second to react. Some rows of gold bars sit in dangerous spots on purpose, tempting you to quickly switch lanes for more gold.

The longer you survive, the faster the traffic, barriers and lane changes start coming at you.. Staying alive is more about reacting quickly when the road suddenly changes. Crashing usually ends the run instantly unless you have protection from items like the Helmet.

Boss fights

Roy Rakoon does not just run away. Sometimes he shows up in a truck and starts throwing obstacles and bombs onto the road while you chase him.

During these sections, the run turns into a mini boss fight. You dodge his attacks and kick chili bombs back toward Roy's truck. Beat Roy and you earn huge piles of gold bars and diamonds.

Building homes

Every gold bar you collect helps upgrade homes for Tom and his friends. Upgrading your home helps you earn more points during runs.

Completing a home unlocks a new character and opens another world to run through. This means even short runs help you unlock new stuff.

Worlds

There are 8 worlds in total. You unlock new worlds by completing homes.

• Tom's House: Suburban streets with cars, trucks and road barriers. The starting world.
• Angela's House: City setting with tighter lanes.
• Hank's Home: A tropical island world.
• Ginger's Forest Fun: Woodland environment with forest obstacles like tree logs and rocks.
