What WheelMates is
WheelMates is Firevolt's two-player co-op driving adventure: you and a partner pilot tiny RC cars through Professor Everett Bloom's oversized house, solving puzzles at your own pace. There is no combat and no solo mode. Start with the getting started guide, set up Friend's Pass, then learn how to play before tackling the Kitchen and Garage. Rank gadgets on the tier list and check system requirements if the session stutters.

Quick start
Five steps from buying the game to clearing the first rooms together.
- 1
Get a copy and a partner
Buy WheelMates on Steam or join through Friend's Pass. The game needs two players — find a duo on the official Discord if you are flying solo.
- 2
Pick online or split-screen
Follow the co-op setup page: one PC with two controllers for the couch, or an online guest via Friend's Pass. There is no in-game voice chat.
- 3
Learn the handling
Read how to play before the first puzzle. Controllers are recommended, the camera can be sensitive, and you can slow down — there are no timers.
- 4
Clear the Kitchen, then the Garage
The Kitchen teaches the first gadgets. The Garage opens magnet grab and rope swing. The Backyard is the first outdoor wing. Use the walkthrough if you stall.
- 5
Hunt secrets and parts
Customization pieces hide in the house. Check secrets and the gadget tier list so upgrades reopen old rooms instead of rushing the credits.

FAQ
Wiki FAQ
Quick answers for two-player RC sessions.
Where should I start?
Read Getting Started, then Friend's Pass if only one of you owns the game. Controllers and cameras are covered in How to Play.
Can I play WheelMates solo?
No. Firevolt designed a mandatory two-player campaign. Use Friend's Pass so the second player does not need a second purchase, or look for a partner on Discord.
How long is WheelMates?
About six hours for the story and about eight if you chase secrets, mini-games, and extra rooms. Details live on the launch notes page.
Which languages does this wiki cover?
English, French, German, and Spanish. Steam WheelMates itself ships 14 interface languages; we skipped Simplified Chinese and Russian on this fan wiki.
Does WheelMates have codes or a battle pass?
Is this wiki official?
No. It is a fan resource. Confirm prices, Friend's Pass rules, and patches on the official links page and Steam news.
Ready to roll into Bloom's house?
Grab a partner, confirm co-op setup, then follow the walkthrough and gadget tier list as rooms open up. Console players can track the 2027 roadmap.
