About Cookie Clicker

Cookie Clicker brings a idle game straight to your browser tab: it loads in seconds and costs nothing to play. The genius of the genre is the constant drip of upgrades — there is always something almost affordable. On mobile the game switches to touch controls, so your progress is never tied to a desk. And because it is hosted on LemonArcade, it stays unblocked on school networks and Chromebooks.
