Germ Patrol
Scrub a whole grid of grimy surfaces clean — but germs regrow on anything you leave too long, so it's a race against your own neglect.
How to play
You face a 6x6 grid of dirty cells. Drag the brush across them to clean each one, while germs slowly creep back over whatever you stop tending. The goal is to keep average cleanliness as high as possible.
- Brush a cell to clean it; its colour brightens as the germs clear
- Untended cells gradually re-dirty, so spread your attention
- Daily mode is a fixed 2-minute scrub with a habit streak; Practice is endless
- Score rewards high overall coverage and an efficient brushing path
Controls
- Desktop: click and drag the mouse across cells to brush
- Phone & tablet: press and drag a finger across the grid to scrub
Tips & strategy
- Sweep in long passes rather than scrubbing one spot — coverage matters more than perfection
- Circle back to the cells you cleaned first, since those are the ones regrowing
- Keep a steady rhythm to bank a daily habit streak across several days
