Game Flow

Gridlock can be simply divided into four phases:

1. Choose a Quadrant

You will be shown a representation of the map and can choose which of the four quadrants you'd like to start in. Each offers its own share of resources and valuables, so choose wisely!

2. Drop In

Once both teams have chosen a quadrant, you will be transported on to a Happy Ghast with your partner in your chosen quadrant. You can dismount and glide down with an Elytra (which will be removed when you land) and begin to gather resources.

3. Complete Objectives

You'll be given a bingo card of objectives to complete - each will have its own point value. Your opponents will also have the same card, and if they beat you to an objective it is locked out, meaning you can no longer gain points from it. Harder Quest Objectives will also unlock periodically throughout the game, offering a more advanced challenge for a higher point reward.

4. Emerge Victorious

Gridlock rounds last 30 minutes, and the team with the most points at the end of a round wins. Alternatively, if a team earns so many points that their opponent cannot physically win - a Total Gridlock - they automatically win that round.
