Season 7: Theme 4
The compact theme is finally back as the last round of 2025! Build a level that can fit within a 6 × 6 × 6 block cube!
Looking for ideas? Try a pocket-sized race course across multiple floors, a level with fan-assisted jumps or get loopy with wallrides and banked corners!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the discussion thread of this news post! Good luck, and happy building!
NOTE: Zeepkist community events (Level Contests, Banner Contest, and Super League Tournaments) will follow a new schedule starting 1st January 2026
Theme 5 will begin on 4th January
ZSL tournaments will occur every 4 weeks from 11th January onward
You can download either the "Blank" or "Filled" level templates from kDrive to get started:
Blank Level Template OR Filled Level Template
The blank template contains the red guides, the ground surface and an example boundary wall
The filled template includes the red guides, the ground surface and a glass wall block on each side of the cube
Click the buttons above and extract the ZIP into your Zeepkist Levels folder:
%APPDATA%\\Zeepkist\\Levels
You can then open the template level in the Level Editor.
Not sure where your Levels folder is? When loading levels in the Level Editor, click the Folder icon with the Windows logo. It will open the Levels folder in File Explorer automatically!
Your track should be complete and submitted by Sunday, 28th December 2025 at 18:00 GMT
Submissions will be combined into a single workshop item after the deadline above
You can only submit one level
You can modify or replace your submission as much as you like until the deadline
Level collaborations are permitted
Maximum of 3 players per level
This counts as a level submission for each individual creator
Please add collaborators in the collaborators text field of the Level Editor level settings and mention them when submitting the level
Level author name MUST contain the submitters' Steam (or Discord) username
The name of the level MUST start with "ZSL - " (e.g "ZSL - My Level")
Your submission MUST be created within the 3 week building period. Please do not re-upload older maps—even if they fit the theme!
All blocks MUST be placed within a 6 × 6 × 6 block area (standard 1-tile road piece size)
Small decorative elements MAY slightly extend beyond the 6 × 6 × 6 area. You will not be punished if a tree branch is slightly sticking out! :)
Blocks extending past the 6 × 6 × 6 area by a large amount are NOT allowed (see below)
You CAN paint, move, rotate or delete the red 6 × 6 × 6 guide blocks and the base "ground" block
These guides exist to help you stay within the allowed area
Want the buildable area at a 45° angle? Go for it!
You CAN enable or disable the baseplate. Templates place the "ground" at the same height as the baseplate by default
Fan blocks MAY extend beyond the 6 × 6 × 6 area in range, but they MUST be placed within it (see below)
Players MAY drive on the cube's outer surface or leave the 6 × 6 × 6 area for airtime jumps
Each face of the cube is a full 6 blocks wide
The red guide line blocks are the depth of a single wallride block and offset by a 1.6 grid size
The full width of the red guides can be used as part of your level (see blue/purple walls in the template and examples below)
Scaling track pieces is permitted
Level MUST follow any theme requirements set above
Level MUST be under 3000 blocks
Level MUST have an author time above 25 seconds
Level MUST have an author time under 60 seconds
Level MUST have at least 3 checkpoints.
Consider adding additional checkpoints for split timing or where it would prevent a cut, as cuts do not make for good tournament tracks!
Level MUST NOT have risky or hidden finishes/shortcuts
e.g blind shortcuts or using no-collision/invisible/logic blocks to hide a secret path that is NOT the intended route. This includes hidden linked checkpoints.

To give your level the best chance of being one of the up to 14 levels selected for the monthly Zeepkist Super League tournament by our panel of judges, focus on creating a track that is enjoyable to race. Keep these points in mind while building and testing your level:
Enjoyability: Is your level fun to drive? Focus on smooth, flowing racing lines that are satisfying to drive. Add interesting twists, jumps or obstacles that make the track exciting without creating frustration.
Learnability: Can players of all skill levels pick up your level and complete it in a reasonable time? The Super League is open to everyone, so try to design your level so both newcomers and experienced racers can enjoy it and have a chance to set a time.
Theme Fit: Make sure the level fits the theme requirements
Levels are judged on their own merits, not based on who built them.
We're also hosting a themed banner contest for our Discord server banner image where you can win the brand new Banner Contest paraglider cosmetic for Season 7!!
The theme is Snowbound and ends at the same time as this level contest!! View the banner contest event details on Discord
