Clues
The Clues are a feature in Lara Croft: Relic Run, leading Lara to Relics.
Contents
Clues
To find a relic in the game - which will ultimately lead Lara to the location of her colleague Carter Bell - she first has to collect a certain amount of clues; these were supposedly left behind by Carter when he visited the site before her. During her run Lara has to find these clues in the form of Magnifying Glasses symbols. She can collect them by running over them.
Clue Booster
Collecting a Clue Booster (two crossed magnifying glasses) will make collecting relics much faster as they double the value of each collected clue. (Each collected magnifying glass is worth two clues as long as the timer on the left side of the screen is running.)
The clue booster can be upgraded ten times. Each upgrade extends the timer of the clue booster.

Older Version
Before version 1.5.68 there were three types of clues, Binoculars, Maps and Magnifying Glasses. The types of clues were irrelevant to advancing, they all had the same value.
Map
Magnifying Glass
Binoculars
In the first stage (not upgraded) a clue booster would triple (1x standard plus 2x boost) the power of clues collected. Example: to find 5 clues, you had to pick up a map (1), one pair of binoculars (1) and with activated booster a magnifying glass (3).
Since there was no indicator of how many clues one had to find for a relic, there was a blue progress bar at the bottom of the Multiplier, to give a general idea of the percentage of clues one had already collected and how many were left.
