About Night Market
Night Market is a 60-second tapping game set among glowing lanterns. Goods pop up on the stalls for a few seconds; tap them to sell, go for the rare ones and keep away from the firecrackers.
How to play Night Market
- Press Open the market! to start the 60-second timer.
- Goods appear at random spots and vanish after a few seconds.
- Tap or click an item to sell it. Its value appears where it was.
- Firecrackers (🧨) appear too — tapping one costs you points.
- Items appear faster as the round goes on. At the end you get a title based on your gold.

Tips for a higher score
- A Dragon Token is worth 27 dumplings. When one appears, it comes first.
- About one item in seven is a firecracker, so glance before each tap.
- The streak banner counts good sales in a row; a firecracker or a 1.5-second pause resets it.
- Your gold never goes below zero, so a bad start is easy to recover from.
