Window figures: all 67 and their drop rates
Figures peer out of the windows of the shaft. Tap the one you see and it goes on your Showcase. Here is every one of them, with the exact chance of meeting each.

How they work
- Only in Endless and the Daily Drift. In Time Attack and Race the windows always hold the factory crew in the same order (Nib, The Stapler Twins, Ms. Deckle, Bolt & Grommet, Quill, The Foreman, then The Party Crew) and are not collected.
- Every figure hangs a tip key under its window. Tap it: the figure goes to your Showcase and 10 coins join the run’s coins (banked at the end, doubled by the ×2 boost and by the DOUBLE video). The tap does not steer the plane.
- The figure comes from the map you are flying in: each map has its own cast of 8 — 3 common, 2 rare, 1 mythic, 1 legendary and 1 ultra.
- A new figure arrives wrapped in its case and is unwrapped with a tap. Repeats add to its “Taken N times” count.
- Everything is decided from the run’s seed, not rolled on the spot: in the Daily Drift everyone gets the same figures at the same depths.
When a window comes
A window with a figure can come at every score milestone: every 30 points up to 150, every 50 up to 300, then every 100. The window opens on the next quiet stretch of shaft after the milestone is reached.
Milestones up to 1,000 points: 30 · 60 · 90 · 120 · 150 · 200 · 250 · 300 · 400 · 500 · 600 · 700 · 800 · 900 · 1,000…
But only 40% of milestones have anybody in the window. The rest stand empty.
Drop rates
Each tier above common can only turn up past a score: rare from 60, mythic from 150, legendary from 300 and ultra from 500. This is the chance of each tier out of all milestones (empty windows included):
| Milestone (points) | Empty | Common | Rare | Mythic | Legendary | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 | 60% | 40% | — | — | — | — |
| 60 – 120 | 60% | 32% | 8% | — | — | — |
| 150 – 250 | 60% | 29.2% | 8% | 2.8% | — | — |
| 300 – 400 | 60% | 28.2% | 8% | 2.8% | 1% | — |
| 500 and up | 60% | 27.9% | 8% | 2.8% | 1% | 0.32% |
And the chance of one particular figure of your map in each window, from 500 points on:
| Tier | Figures per map | Each figure, per milestone | That is |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common | 3 | 9.29% | 1 in 11 |
| Rare | 2 | 4% | 1 in 25 |
| Mythic | 1 | 2.8% | 1 in 36 |
| Legendary | 1 | 1% | 1 in 100 |
| Ultra | 1 | 0.32% | 1 in 313 |
An ultra turns up in just 0.32% of milestones past 500 points, and by then a milestone comes every 100 points. On average that is 313 milestones on its map — some 31,250 points past 500 — to meet a particular one.
Per run
What a run gives on average depending on where it ends (all its milestones together):
| Run to | Milestones | Figures on average | ≥1 Rare | ≥1 Mythic | ≥1 Legendary | ≥1 Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 150 | 5 | 2.0 | 28.4% | 2.8% | — | — |
| 300 | 8 | 3.2 | 44.2% | 10.7% | 1% | — |
| 500 | 10 | 4.0 | 52.8% | 15.7% | 2.97% | 0.32% |
| 1,000 | 15 | 6.0 | 68.9% | 26.8% | 7.73% | 1.9% |
| 2,000 | 25 | 10.0 | 86.5% | 44.9% | 16.5% | 5% |
| 5,000 | 55 | 22.0 | 98.9% | 76.5% | 38.3% | 13.7% |
“≥1” is the chance of meeting at least one figure of that tier in the run.

The Halloween event
From 19 October to 8 November every year, the factory crew dress up. While the event is on, 30% of windows try the event’s figures first: if the tier rolled is rare, mythic or legendary, the figure is the event’s. There are no common or ultra event figures, so those are untouched. They turn up in any map’s windows and are filed in the EVENTS case, beside the Halloween map’s eight.
Boo Nib
Nib, under a sheet. The nib gives it away.
Trick or Twins
Pumpkin overalls and a pail of sweets each.
Lantern Foreman
A carved pumpkin for a hat and a lantern for a bell.
