What is Fry the Fries
Get ready to run your own fry station and serve up the crispiest snacks in town. It's a simple test of timing and quick reflexes that gets harder with every order.
How to Play
Watch the fries in the basket as they cook, then click or tap to lift them out when they turn golden. Serve them to the waiting customers before they lose patience.
Tips for Playing

- Start a new batch as soon as you pull one out to keep the flow steady.
- Prioritize customers who have been waiting the longest to avoid angry walkouts.
- Don't rush—a perfectly timed batch can serve multiple orders at once.
- Learn the rhythm of the fryer to predict when the next batch will be ready.
