The original car chase game returns with Pako 3. Featuring more levels and cars than ever, it keeps the simple two-button gameplay while adding new modes like Getaway Driver and Survival. Transport your crew, drive fast laps, and escape the law in over 30 unlockable levels. Compete on leaderboards and paint your cars to suit your style.
Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Pako 3 is the pinnacle of the car chase genre on mobile. It takes the simple, 'left-right' tap mechanics of its predecessors and expands them into a content-packed arcade experience. The 'Getaway Driver' mode is a standout addition, adding objective-based gameplay where you have to pick up and drop off your crew, rather than just surviving as long as possible.
The physics are perfectly tuned—floaty enough to allow for spectacular drifts and crashes, but responsive enough that every failure feels like your own fault. The variety of vehicles and levels is impressive, each with its own quirks and shortcuts to discover. Whether you're dodging police in a suburban neighborhood or racing laps on a dedicated track, the game maintains a frantic, high-energy pace that is perfect for short bursts of play. It’s stylish, challenging, and endlessly fun.

Tips & Walkthrough
Hold both sides of the screen simultaneously to engage the handbrake. This is essential for tight corners and performing 180-degree turns to lose the police in narrow alleys.
Gameplays
Choose between 'Getaway Driver' (missions), 'Racing' (time trials), or 'Survival' (endless chase). Each mode rewards you with coins to unlock new, faster vehicles with better handling.

If you’re frustrated, play other modes
Fri May 13 2022 Captain DogwaterOriginal review: I love PAKO, I am glad the series exists. This PAKO? This ain’t PAKO. It feels to me like Tree Men Games built PAKO 3 around mobile ads. Save yourself the frustration and buy PAKO 2, it’s $3 and it’s a genuinely good game. —2 stars— Edit: I still believe the getaway driver mode is built to farm ads for the devs. With that said, I honestly have had a ton of fun with the survival and racing modes. They’re just better than the other two modes and I’m having fun with the app again. If you have the same criticisms with getaway that I do, try out the other modes. I’m having a blast
Amazing game!
Mon Jun 13 2022 da dog manI am new to the PAKO series, and really enjoyed, and still happen to enjoy playing this game, in an attempt to 100% complete it. One thing is that the ads are only about 5 seconds long, which is really nice. Also, the game modes are very creative and really make the experience better, allowing me to change it up a bit every once in a while. Another thing is that it is challenging enough to where you have to get creative in each level, but with enough practice, every level can be completed. I feel like this game is a good choice for anyone if they want some challenge and a lot of fun and just need something to put some time into instead of other, worse, things. All in all, I think this game deserves a five star rating. And this is just a small list of the many things about this game that make it a superstar, although I can say there are some things like this glitch where you just fall through the world in one of the levels, I believe the first, as well as the possibility of inappropriate content in the ads. But still a great game.
Obsessed!
Thu Jul 28 2022 lovely emma 💕💁🏽💩I love this game so much, highly recommend it for anyone up for a challenge. Though the controls aren’t my favorite, it definitely adds to the challenge! I also love that the police cars are faster (even though sometimes it gets annoying)! Plus, you can get different and better cars which I’m so happy…. it’s such a fun no wifi game, however I can’t see why people are complaining about ads. It doesn’t appear so often on my screen so I’m positive it’s similar for others. It’s not like you have to sit for 15-30 seconds watching an ad, and they don’t even appear that often. Anyway back to the game, I love the graphics of it and just the artysle of it in general, gives off the cartoony but classic vibes y’know? Shared it w my brother and he’s so angry he can’t beat my score LOL. Game is 9/10, wildly underrated and super FUN. Thank you PAKO 3, for this epic game
Really fun, but a lot of pointless content
Sun May 29 2022 JamaicanHogFarmerFirst of all, only 2 of the modes can be considered as actual game modes, because modes zones and getaway driver are atrocious. Zones, among many issues like being stupidly difficult and luck based, is constantly flashing bright colors a you which hurts your eyes. getaway driver just isn’t that fun either but isn’t as bad as zones Secondly, most cars in the game aren’t worth buying because they are trash. This means that you have to try and filter through tons of new unlocked cars to find the 1 car that is actually okay. On the other hand, survival is a pretty good mode and race is amazing. The race mode makes you feel like your in a movie with cinematic turns and close calls. It’s some of the most fun I’ve ever had in a mobile game. This game would be much better if only race and survival modes existed and the amount of cars is trimmed.
Pretty good, but the ads are relentless and cause crashing
Tue Apr 26 2022 vegatable 888PAKO is a classic, always has been. But these ads ruin it. I don’t mind sitting through a. Quick video ad but these interactive mini game ads never work properly and cause the game to crash and my phone freeze on a couple occasions. I’ve never seen an newer iPhone fully crash this many times. I get that you guys need money but I can barely play the game. Also some of the maps just have sections where the car clips the ground and can’t reverse out of it. Specifically the very first level.
Other games, please be more like PAKO 3
Sun Jun 05 2022 Tsklt21I play a lot of games (perhaps too much), either on my device or on pc. One of the most frustrating things in mobile gaming is playing a game with fun mechanics just to run into 30 second ads every minute. It kills the gaming experience. PAKO 3 does an amazing job presenting ads in a quick and in a noninvasive way. I’ve never seen a game that does it better than this one. I know this is a weird feature rave about, but other games please be more like this one.
Please help - mistakenly purchased unlock everything
Thu Sep 01 2022 C99iouThe thing I like best about this game is the challenge of playing to unlock cars and levels. I accidentally purchased the unlock everything option so requested a refund. After I received the refund I hoped to download the game again and purchase only the remove ads option. However, I received the refund and reinstalled the game but everything is still completely unlocked. Can you reset it for me so I can enjoy playing this game again?
The only free game worth a review.
Wed Mar 02 2022 MellowMaxxNever have I chose to actually rate a game but this game is worth it. Free games now are full of ads and copied concepts. Not this game. Brings me back to when free app games were actually good like this one. It’s unique and fun and the short races/trials make it perfect for a quick way to spend time or something to do for an evening. Even if you don’t like racing games like myself, give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.
