A free browser game that glows in the grove

The lanterns are lit and the stalls are open. In Night Market you run a busy food stand for exactly one minute: dumplings, skewers, lucky lanterns, golden bamboo and the rare dragon token pop up at random spots across the market, stay for a few seconds and then vanish. Tap an item to sell it and its value floats up where it was.

It sounds simple, but the market speeds up as the clock runs down. Goods start appearing faster, the rare items are gone in a blink, and about one item in seven is a firecracker 🧨 that costs you points. The trick is to stay calm, read the stalls before you tap and always go for the most valuable item on screen.

Good sales in a row build a streak banner, so a clean run feels great. Miss a beat or hit a firecracker and the streak resets — but your gold never drops below zero, so a shaky start is always easy to turn around. At the end of the round you get a merchant title based on how much gold you earned, and your best score is saved on your device for next time.

How to play

• Press Open the market! to start the 60-second timer.
• Tap or click goods to sell them before they disappear.
• Leave firecrackers alone — each one costs 40 points.
• When a dragon token appears, grab it first: it is worth 27 dumplings.
