Griddle Rush
Play Griddle Rush free online. Customers want pancakes light, golden or dark. Watch them brown on a long diner griddle and serve each one to the matching order.
How to Play Griddle Rush
The diner is packed and every customer is fussy. Order tickets hang on the rail at the top. Each one asks for a pancake cooked a certain way: light, golden or dark, shown by both a word and a picture.
Pancakes are poured onto the long griddle below and darken as they cook, from raw to light, then golden, then dark, and finally burnt. The word under each pancake tells you its shade right now. Tap a pancake to serve it, and it goes to the waiting order that matches its shade.
Each order you fill scores 20 points, plus up to 10 more for serving it quickly. A pancake that nobody ordered is thrown away. If a pancake burns, or a customer's green bar runs out and they walk out, that is a complaint. Three complaints end the shift.
You start with three spots on the griddle. Another spot opens every six orders, up to five, and as the rush builds there are more tickets, pancakes cook faster and customers get less patient.

Tips and Tricks
- Check the tickets first, then look for a pancake that is just reaching that shade.
- Dark orders take the longest to cook. Leave one pancake browning for them.
- Serve the ticket with the shortest green bar first. A walkout costs far more than a slow order.
- Throwing away a pancake nobody wants is fine when it would only burn otherwise.
About the Game
Griddle Rush is a short order cooking game about matching. Every pancake passes through every shade, so the challenge is deciding which pancake goes to which customer, and when.
It is drawn as a shiny steel diner griddle on a black and white checked floor, with paper order tickets clipped to a rail. Your best score is kept in this browser and can go on the Top 10 board.
