Order up!
Each question is one customer at the bakery counter. The order is in the customer's speech bubble, and the answers sit on trays with label plates. A right order is boxed with a bow, the customer tips coins into the jar, and the shop gets fancier as the game goes on.
How to play Order up!
- Press Play and the first customer walks in.
- Read the order and tap the tray with the right answer, or press 1 to 4, A to D, or T and F. Arrows and Enter work too.
- Serve each customer until the queue is done.
Right and wrong answers
A right order is boxed with a bow and the customer cheers. A wrong one comes back and the right tray lights up. The clock pauses between customers.
