EXR 1.55 Update: Our summer challenge is here
read
Another update has arrived! Version 1.55 introduces a completely reworked Refer-a-Friend system, new Boston routes, exciting seasonal content, and plenty of improvements throughout EXR.
Whether you're training for performance, collecting achievements, or hunting down a certain pink bird, there's something new waiting for you.
The July update will be released gradually over one week for all operating systems. You can check for updates in the App Store/ Play Store or wait until the app updates automatically.
New Features
Invite Friends, Earn Exclusive Rewards
Our Refer-a-Friend program has been completely reworked with brand-new rewards to unlock as you invite friends to EXR. Help your friendsget started, and earn exclusive items and achievements as more referrals become active.
Rewards
- EXR Sunglasses — Refer 1 friend
- Friendship Necklace — Refer 2 friends
- Friendship Cap — Refer 4 friends
- Friendship Suit — Refer 6 friends
- Friendship Boat — Refer 8 friends
- Refer a friend Badge — Refer 10 friends
The EXR Cap is now available as a standalone wearable item and is no longer exclusive to the Refer-a-Friend program, making it available for everyone to unlock.
A friend counts as referred once they have completed at least 500 metres of rowing in EXR. Click the Refer a Friend button in EXR and begin earning your rewards! Curious how it works? Check out this page.
Explore four new Boston routes
Boston just got even bigger. We've expanded the environment with four brand-new routes, giving you more variety whether you're training for distance or simply exploring.
The new routes are:
- Westside Loops — 8.1 km
- Charles Express —16.7 km
- Return to Muddy River — 24.1 km
- Greater Boston Loop — 31.2 km
The Boston Platinum Achievement now includes the four new routes, so you'll need to conquer them all to complete Boston 100%.
Summer Challenge: Catch the Flamingo!
Summer has arrived in EXR with summer challenge. This season you'll be chasing a very fast (and very fabulous) flamingo. Unlike our regular challenges, this event uses a chase format, so you'll need to keep up if you want to catch it and unlock the exclusive summer rewards.
Need a small hint? Flamingos usually don't spend much time in cold places.
Unlockable Rewards
- Summer Flamingo Boat — 3200 X-Coins
- Summer Scuba Mask — 1800 X-Coins
- Summer Arm Floaties — 1300 X-Coins
Players who already unlocked rewards from previous seasonal challenges will automatically receive those items, while still earning the new seasonal badge.
