DUROV RUN: Endless Runner

Ever wanted to see Pavel Durov dodge obstacles instead of lawyers? DUROV RUN is a Telegram Mini App endless runner where you swipe through the track and help him grow an IT empire. 🏃

The game is published by the TON Games team and opens inside Telegram, so there is nothing to install.

A runner with a storyline

You steer the character around obstacles and pick up gems. The gems feed a Story campaign: you upgrade your business, raise popularity and open new chapters.

That progression is what separates it from a plain arcade, where every crash resets everything.

What is inside the app

• Shop. Outfits for the character, which can be traded on an NFT marketplace.
• Run continuation. After a crash you can resume from the same spot by watching an ad (up to 20 times a day) or paying with Telegram Stars.
• Leaderboard. Players in the top 100 for longest single run earn PavelPass tickets for every 24 hours they hold the spot, if they have invited at least 3 friends.
• Referrals. A 7-level network pays 15% of friends' in-game purchases and ad views.
• T-LAB points. Purchases earn cashback in points that give discounts across T-LAB apps and a share of a global airdrop.

Your first minute

1. Open the bot and tap the button that launches the game.
2. Play one run to get used to the swipes.
3. Collect gems and look at the Story tab.
4. Decide if referrals and the shop matter to you, or if a high score is enough.

The only bot command is /paysupport, meant for payment questions. 💬

Play&Earn, minus the fantasy

The game uses a Play&Earn model, and the airdrop depends on a possible future tokenization of T-LAB points. That is a plan, not a promise. A token launch for the game itself has not been confirmed.

Treat rewards as a bonus. Do not spend money expecting it back, and do not recruit friends for a hypothetical payout. 💸

One more thing: this is a third-party game. There is no sign that Pavel Durov or Telegram backs it. A different game on the same theme once drew a public statement from Durov that he knew nothing about it before launch.

Habits that save money

• Spend Stars only on things you want right now. Stars do not come back.
• The 20 daily ad continues are best used on long runs, not on a crash in the first seconds.
• Send payment problems through /paysupport, never to strangers in direct messages.
• The official channels are listed on the game page. Ignore anyone offering to help who asks for account access.

For a couple of relaxed minutes, DUROV RUN works: runs are short and the rules are clear at once. For steady income, look elsewhere. 🎮
