Fall GuysHow to Get the Most Free Kudos in Fall Guys
Fall Guys hands out free Show-Bucks, which is more than most games in its category do. This rundown sorts by play rhythm where they come from and how they fit alongside Crowns and Kudos.
What is the fastest and most efficient way to get Kudos in Fall Guys?
Show-Bucks are Fall Guys' premium currency and are used for cosmetics of uncommon rarity and above, as well as for the season pass itself. Kudos, the basic currency, are no longer handed out at the end of shows: they arrive through challenges, events and the pass, and they buy common pieces, nicknames and nameplates. Crowns stopped being spendable and now work as a prestige marker: accumulating them raises your Crown Rank and unlocks exclusive costumes.
Every day
- Fame and Kudos every day; no direct Show-Bucks, but they are the engine of the pass that does give them
Daily challenges
Daily challenges ask for specific objectives: clearing certain kinds of round, qualifying for a final, using an emote or completing a number of shows. They reward Fame, which is what raises the pass tiers, and Kudos for the common-piece store. Since the free Show-Bucks sit in specific pass slots, clearing the dailies is the most reliable way of reaching them before the season ends and the track closes.
Every week
- Fame in quantity and crown shards; these are what accelerate the pass most
Weekly and marathon challenges
Weekly challenges pay considerably more Fame than the dailies, and the marathon ones are set up as long-haul objectives spanning the whole season. Between them they also hand out crown shards, the route by which Crowns now accumulate given that they are no longer earned in finals alone. This is the block to prioritise if you are short on time: one long session a week focused on these challenges pays off more than playing daily with no objective in mind.
- Non-spendable Crowns that raise your Crown Rank and unlock exclusive costumes
Crown shards and Crown Rank
Since the currency overhaul, Crowns stopped being spendable. They now accumulate through shards handed out by challenges and certain limited-time modes, and completing a Crown raises your Crown Rank, which gradually opens costumes reserved for that track. It does not replace Show-Bucks and it buys nothing in the store, but it is free cosmetic content with a clear route: do challenges and play the limited modes that hand out shards.
One time only
- A 600 Show-Bucks purchase that the track itself returns in full if you complete it
The premium pass cycle
The premium pass costs 600 Show-Bucks and its paid track returns that same amount spread across its tiers. Buying one and completing it finances the next without paying again, as long as you reach the end before the season closes. Added to the roughly 200 Show-Bucks from the free track, your balance actually grows over time. The condition is the usual one: leaving a pass half done breaks the cycle and forces you to start over.
Events only
- Around 200 Show-Bucks per pass, plus crown shards and cosmetics
The free Fame Pass track
This is the game's main source of free premium currency. The free pass track hands out around 200 Show-Bucks spread across its length, alongside crown shards, patterns, colours, nicknames and nameplates. You do not need to buy anything to work through it. Current passes run for a few weeks and are then replaced, so anything you do not claim is lost at the changeover. Chaining complete passes together is what lets you build a meaningful balance over the course of a year.
- Kudos, crown shards and themed cosmetics; Show-Bucks turn up only occasionally
Events and limited-time modes
Fall Guys alternates collaborations and themed campaigns with their own reward tracks and modes that are only live for a few days. They usually hand out Kudos, crown shards and costumes tied to the guest brand. Since these are closed calendars, unclaimed content disappears with the event. It is worth going in during the first days to see what the track demands: many objectives are met by playing modes you were probably going to play anyway, and others ask for a level of dedication that is not worth it.
What does not work
No generator can add Kudos to your Fall Guys account: the balance is handled on the game’s servers and there is no way to touch it from outside. If you arrived looking for one, we explain in detail how they work on the inside and why they always end the same way.

How do you get Show-Bucks without spending money?
The main route is the free track of the season pass, which hands out around 200 Show-Bucks across its tiers. Reaching those slots takes Fame, and Fame comes from daily, weekly and marathon challenges. Limited-time events add the odd extra amount. By chaining complete passes season after season you build up enough of a balance for specific cosmetics.
Why can Crowns no longer be spent in the store?
Because in the currency overhaul they became a prestige marker rather than a resource. They now accumulate through shards handed out by challenges and limited modes, and their job is to raise your Crown Rank, which unlocks costumes exclusive to that track. Crowns players held before the change were converted into Kudos at a rate of 3,000 Kudos per Crown.
How long does it take to complete a pass's free track?
Current passes run for a few weeks and their track comes to around seventy slots, so there is comfortable room if you clear challenges regularly. Fame from weeklies and marathon challenges counts for far more than Fame from scattered shows, so two or three well-aimed sessions a week is usually enough. Leaving it all to the final days is the most common way of missing the Show-Bucks slots.
What does each currency buy in the store?
Show-Bucks cover cosmetics of uncommon rarity and above, plus the season pass itself. Kudos stop at common pieces, nicknames, nameplates and the faceplates that rotate each week. Crowns buy nothing at all: they only build Crown Rank. Knowing this avoids the mistake of saving Show-Bucks for something that is actually paid for with Kudos, or the other way round.
