Dish Duty

Scrub the muck off the tavern's plates: click the instant the circling sponge crosses a spot, and keep your flow going before the hot water runs cold.

Step by stepThe rules in full

Step by step

  1. A plate in the sink seen from above, the green sponge on its rim coming round toward a brown spot of caked-on muck1The sponge2Muck

    Step 1

    Watch the sponge

    The sponge circles the rim of the plate on its own. Your part is the timing: watch it come round to a caked-on spot of muck.

  2. A burst of suds where the sponge has just scrubbed the muck off the rim1Scrubbed

    Step 2

    Scrub on the spot

    Click or press Space the instant the sponge crosses the muck. Grime is crusted on in layers, so a spot can take more than one clean scrub, and every good scrub flips the sponge's direction. A scrub that doesn't finish a lump throws it on round the rim, so be ready to chase it.

  3. STARFIRE! called over the sink, gold suds all over the plate, the streak reading 22 at x2.11Your flow2A flow call

    Build your flow

    Nail scrubs back to back to build your flow: faster sweeps, tighter timing and more suds, and each step up is called over the sink, from Spark! to Comet!, Starfire! and Firstlight! Hold right-click or Shift to make the sponge sweep faster.

  4. The sponge skidding with grime spattered round it, two cracks across the plate1A chip2A slip

    Don't slip

    A mistimed scrub slips: your flow breaks, grime smears back where you slipped, and the plate takes a chip. A plate that makes it to the rack leaves its chips behind.

  5. The plate shattered into shards across the sink, one of the three plates on the shelf above broken and the first strike mark at the top right turned red1A strike2Strikes

    Three chips and it shatters

    Three chips on one plate and it shatters: no pay, and a strike. A plate on the shelf above the sink breaks with it and a mark at the top right turns red. Three strikes and the cook sends you off for the sitting.

  6. A brass kettle on the plate's rim, the hot water drops beside the sink run down from the top1Hot water2A kettle

    Step 6

    Mind the hot water

    The hot water drains as you work, drop by drop down the column beside the sink, and when it runs cold the shift ends there. Scrub a kettle off a plate's rim and it tops the water back up, so it's worth going out of your way for.

  7. A clean plate sliding off into the drying rack beside the sink, 4 of 10 washed1To the rack2Plates3Next plate pays

    Step 7

    Rack the plate

    A clean plate slides off to the rack. Pay climbs the longer you stay, from 1g a plate to 6g once you're rolling. Finish the rack for +10g, and wash six or more in one sitting without smashing one for +15g on top. There's one load a day, and leaving early restarts the pay ladder.

The rules, as the game tells them

  • The sponge circles the plate — CLICK / SPACE the instant it crosses a caked-on MUCK spot
  • Grime is crusted on in LAYERS — the further into the rack, the more clean scrubs a spot takes
  • Every good scrub flips the sponge's direction — stay sharp
  • Nail scrubs back-to-back to build your FLOW: faster sweeps, tighter timing, MORE suds
  • A scrub that doesn't finish a lump THROWS it on round the rim — sometimes clear to the far side — so be ready to chase it
  • A mistimed scrub SLIPS: your flow breaks, grime smears back where you slipped, and THIS plate CHIPS
  • 3 chips on one plate and it SHATTERS — no pay, and a strike. 3 strikes and the cook sends you off — this sitting is over
  • A plate that makes it to the rack leaves its chips behind — only a SHATTERED plate costs you
  • The HOT WATER drains as you work — let it run cold and the shift ends there
  • Scrub a KETTLE off a plate's rim and it tops the water back up — worth going out of your way for
  • Pay CLIMBS the longer you stay: 1g for your first plates, 6g once you're rolling
  • Finish the whole rack for +10g. Wash 6 or more in ONE sitting without smashing a single plate for +15g on top of that
  • Faster? hold RIGHT-CLICK / SHIFT. One load a day — and leaving early restarts the pay ladder
