About Survive the Day

Survive the Day is a daily gauntlet of very short mini-games. Each run strings 12 of them together, pulled from a pool of 31 that test reaction, memory, focus and logic. You get three lives, and failing a mini-game costs one. Lose all three and the run is over.

Everyone playing on the same UTC date gets the same mini-games in the same order, so you can compare results with friends. It runs in the browser with no download or account, works on phone or desktop, and saves your scores, streak and personal bests on your device.

How to play Survive the Day

Press start on today's challenge to begin the daily run.

Read the prompt at the top of each mini-game and answer before the timer runs out.

Get answers right quickly to score more and build a streak multiplier with correct answers in a row.

Clear all 12 mini-games before your three lives run out, and your first finished run of the day goes to the daily leaderboard.

Tips for Survive the Day

Warm up in practice first: only your first completed daily run counts, so use Endless mode or the single mini-game pages before you start it.

Read each prompt carefully before acting, since games like Don't Tap Red and Tap the Safe Tile punish a rushed tap with a lost life.

Keep your correct answers flowing to hold your streak multiplier, which adds more to your score than one fast answer.

Play on the same device each day, because your scores, streak and personal bests are stored in that browser.
