Funnel Runners Van Repair System
Fix the van in Funnel Runners using scavenged tools and hands-on minigames. Each problem needs the right item before you can complete repairs and escape.
Tools Plus Minigames
Supernova Studios LLC designed the Funnel Runners repair loop to merge scavenging with tactile fixes. You cannot skip straight to driving—the van demands specific tools and successful minigame completion for each active problem. This system is the mechanical heart of the 20-minute run.
Repair Workflow
- Diagnose: Read van UI or inspect components to list faults
- Source items: Loot suburbs for wrenches, fuel cans, patches, wires
- Assign roles: In co-op, split repairs per team strategy
- Interact: Start the minigame at the correct van station
- Verify: Confirm the system shows green before moving on
Minigame Types
Devlogs showcase varied repair interactions—tightening bolts under time pressure, routing electrical connections, aligning mechanical parts. These are not abstract progress bars; player skill and correct items both matter. Gadgets may simplify certain steps or reveal hidden faults faster.
Failed or interrupted minigames during tornado touchdowns force teams to retreat and retry. Storm proximity therefore affects repair efficiency, not just looting.
Consumables and Repairs
Consumables like fuel cans, patch kits, and medical supplies overlap with van fixes. Fuel must reach the tank; tire sealant may complement physical tools. Managing limited consumables adds another layer when difficulty scaling destroys backup loot buildings.
Solo Repair Pressure
Solo players chain diagnosis, looting, and minigames alone. Prioritize problems that gate engine start first. See solo vs co-op for pacing comparisons.
Controls During Repairs
Repair minigames use interact and precision inputs documented on the controls page. Launch is July 16, 2026 on Steam—practice the full loop after purchase at $14.99.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do van repairs work?
Locate a problem on the van, acquire the required tool or part from the map, then complete an interact minigame at the vehicle to clear that fault.
Do repairs require minigames?
Yes. Supernova Studios pairs inventory checks with hands-on minigames such as bolting parts, wiring connections, and similar mechanical tasks.
Can multiple players repair at once?
Co-op teams can work on different van problems simultaneously if they have the tools and station access, speeding up the mid-run phase.
What happens if you use the wrong tool?
Repairs should fail or refuse to start without the correct item. Search suburban loot points for hardware stores and garages.
Are repairs timed?
The overall run timer pressures repairs, but individual minigames may allow steady completion unless tornadoes interrupt you.
