🍪 Cookie Clicker

How to play

Click the big cookie to earn cookies, then spend them in the shop on things that either earn for you automatically or make each click worth more. There is no end and nothing to lose. The goal is to grow the per-second rate and tick off the milestones on the right.

• The cookie — click it to add cookies. A floating number shows what the click was worth.
• Shop item — click any row in the left panel to buy one. Rows you cannot afford are dimmed, and the number on the right is how many you own.

Scoring

A click starts at 1 cookie. Seven shop items add to the automatic rate: Cursor gives 1 per second at a base cost of 15, Grandma 5 for 100, Cookie Farm 25 for 500, Factory 100 for 2,000, Cookie Mine 400 for 8,000, Laboratory 2,000 for 40,000 and Portal 10,000 for 200,000. The other two raise click power, with Super Clicker adding 5 per click for 250 and Golden Click 25 for 5,000. Every purchase raises that item’s own price by 15 percent. Milestones fire at 100, 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, 1 million and 100 million.

Tips

• Buy Cursors first. At 15 cookies they are the only thing you can afford early, and each one pays for itself in about fifteen seconds.
• Compare cookies per second against the current price, not the base price. Because of the 15 percent step, an item you own many of eventually becomes worse value than the next tier up.
• Click power matters much less once the automatic rate is in the hundreds, so Super Clicker and Golden Click are early-game buys.
