Market Dash

Race a cart down three aisles, catching falling foods into a balanced basket — and bank some exercise before you're allowed a treat.

How to play

Groceries fall down three lanes toward your cart at the catch line. Grab the item nearest your cart in a lane to add it to your basket, aiming for a balanced basket of at least three food groups within a calorie budget per trip. Treats are locked until you bank an activity to burn them off — a hands-on take on energy balance. Keep your energy up as the run continues.

• Build a balanced basket from multiple food groups, not just one.
• Treats stay locked until you grab an activity to offset them.
• Each completed trip banks score; running out of energy ends the run.

Controls

• Desktop: tap a lane or use the A, S and D keys to grab; press R to run again.
• Phone & tablet: tap the lane with the item you want — fully touch-friendly.

Game modes

• Daily: a shared seeded run.
• Practice: a fresh randomized run any time.

Tips & strategy

• Spread grabs across food groups to complete a balanced basket faster.
• Bank an activity before reaching for a locked treat, or you'll have to skip it.
