Spend it all

What it is

Spend It All hands you four hundred billion dollars and one job: get the balance to exactly zero. The shop is a single long list, sixty nine items in price order, from a one dollar gumball to a seventy five billion dollar mission to Mars, with a six story rubber duck, a dinosaur skeleton and a football club somewhere in the middle. It is the what would you do with all that money daydream, with a receipt at the end.

How to play

Scroll the list and hit buy to take one of something, sell to hand it back, or type a number into the quantity box to grab four hundred at once. The counter at the top rolls down as you spend. Land on exactly zero and the game prints your receipt. Want a tighter puzzle? Switch to today's pile, a smaller fortune that changes every day and has to be cleared to the last dollar.

What makes it different

The list is deliberately one long scroll instead of neat categories, because the slide from gumballs to moon bases is the joke. And it is a real puzzle underneath the fantasy: the big items get you close, and the last few dollars only work out if you plan the cheap stuff. The daily pile flips the pressure, because a small fortune makes every dollar count. The receipt is usually funnier than the shopping was.

Why it is on Bored

We built it because the spend a fortune daydream deserved a scoreboard. It is a two minute game with a daily hook, no grind and no upsell, which is exactly what we want the arcade to be.

Tips

• Buy the huge things first, then chip away at the remainder with the cheap stuff
• Save room for the one dollar gumball, it exists to fix your rounding
• Selling back is free, so there is no way to ruin a run
• Buying one of every single thing is a goal in itself
