Play Manager on DutyAbout the Games
A day on the job, around the neighborhood
Behind every pickup day, pool season and board meeting there’s a lot to keep track of. These games give you a fun look at a few of those jobs. Here’s what each one asks you to do.
Drive the route
Pickup Day
You drive the neighborhood trash truck on pickup day. Grab every bin and bulk item on the route, keep an eye on the street and get the load to the landfill.
- Trash bins pay $5, up to $15 with a hustle streak. Couches, mattresses and old fridges pay $20.
- The truck holds 10 loads. When it is full, drive to the landfill to dump it and get paid.
- Answer "missed pickup" service calls before the countdown ends for bonus cash.
- Slow down for kids, dogs, cats, deer and bears. Streets close for road work, delivery vans and school buses.
- Controls
- Tap or click any street and the truck drives there. Arrow keys work too.
- Sky
- Mix, Day, Rain or Night
- Game over
- Three hits ends the shift
Run the pool deck
Pool Day Rush
You are the attendant at the community pool for a full shift. Keep the line moving at the front desk, keep swimmers safe and keep an eye on the sky.
- Check residents in. The pass must be current, and each resident can bring up to 2 guests.
- Pick up towels, latch the side gate when it is left open and blow the whistle at kids running on the deck.
- Between shifts, spend your cash to hire a lifeguard, desk attendant or towel runner for score bonuses.
- A swimmer waving for help gets a red ring. Get close and the ring buoy is thrown for you.
- When thunder rolls, clear the pool. It reopens 30 game minutes after the last thunder.
- Controls
- Tap or click a job, or press Next job and the game picks the most urgent one.
- Sky
- Mix, Day, Rain, Storm or Night
- Game over
- Three safety misses ends the game
Manage the community
Manager on Duty
The third and largest game puts you in a community manager's shoes for a full year. Walk your rounds, answer homeowners, hire vendors and keep the board's trust as the seasons change.
- Report what you find for +100: streetlights out, dogs off leash, beehives and dead animals, hydrant leaks, broken playground equipment, missing shutters and broken windows, and wrecked cars or flat tires.
- Rake leaves in fall, shovel sidewalks in winter, pick up dog waste and power wash siding in spring, and mow and trim trees in summer.
- In winter, homeowners can pay $25 for you to shovel their driveway.
- Handle multi-step scenarios like a water main break, a resident dispute or a vendor no-show, and answer homeowner calls and walk-ups.
- Play month by month for a full year. Every month ends with a board meeting at the clubhouse, and your progress saves on this device.
- Controls
- Tap the Next guide, a marker or a job on the map. Use the golf cart to go faster.
- Length
- 12 months, starting today, with a board meeting every month
- Game over
- Homeowner happiness or board trust runs out

FAQ
Good to know
Is it free? Do I need an account?
Every game is free, and you don't need an account. Just type a name at the end of a game if you want to save your score.
Which game should I start with?
Pickup Day is about driving: tap a street and the truck goes there. Pool Day Rush is about keeping up with jobs: tap a job, or press Next job and the game picks the most urgent one. Manager on Duty is the biggest: it runs through all four seasons with reports, chores, homeowner calls, a budget and board meetings.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. All three games work on phones, tablets and computers. On a phone you tap; on a computer you can click or use the keyboard.
Can I play at night or in the rain?
Yes. Pick Sky on the start screen. Pickup Day has Mix, Day, Rain and Night. Pool Day Rush adds Storm, where you have to clear the pool when thunder rolls. Manager on Duty changes with the seasons instead: falling leaves, snow, spring rain and summer sun.
Are the scores shared between the games?
No. Each game has its own This Week and All Time board. You can use the same name in all of them.
Why isn't my name on the board yet?
Names must be 2 to 16 letters or numbers and family-friendly. New names show on the board after a quick review. Each game can be saved once, and scores that aren't possible are not accepted.
