    How to Play

    One shift at the community pool

    1

    Check residents in

    Residents line up at the front desk. The pass card shows two quick checks: is the pass still good, and are there 2 guests or fewer? Let someone in by mistake? Tap the red marker to ask them to leave.

    2

    Keep everyone safe

    A swimmer waving for help gets a red ring. Get close and the buoy is thrown for you. Latch the side gate when it’s left open. The whistle stops running kids from anywhere on the deck, and you can hire a lifeguard to help.

    3

    Watch the weather

    Play in the day, at night under the pool lights, in the rain or in a storm. When thunder rolls, clear the pool right away. It reopens 30 game minutes after the last thunder.

    Scoreboard rules

    • This board is just for Pool Day Rush. Pickup Day keeps its own scores.
    • Save your score at the end of the game by typing a name (2 to 16 letters or numbers).
    • Keep names family-friendly. Offensive names, insults and comments about the company are blocked, and any name can be removed.
    • Each game can be saved once, and scores that aren’t possible are rejected.
    • New names show on the board after a quick review.

    FAQ

    Questions from the pool deck

    Is it free? Do I need an account?

    Yes, it's free, and you don't need an account. Just type a name when you want to save a score.

    What are the easiest controls?

    Tap or click any job marker and your attendant walks there and does it. Or press Next job (the Space bar) and the game always picks the most urgent job. Arrow keys or WASD walk the attendant yourself.

    Can I play at night or in the rain?

    Yes. Pick Sky on the start screen: Mix changes by shift, or choose Day, Rain, Storm or Night. Evening shifts run under the pool lights.

    What happens in a storm?

    When thunder rolls, blow the whistle (or press C) to get everyone out of the water. The pool reopens 30 game minutes after the last thunder.

    Can I hire help?

    Yes. After each shift you can spend your cash on a lifeguard (watches the water and whistles at running kids), a desk attendant (checks residents in and out when you step away) or a towel runner. Each hire adds a bonus to your score, and spending cash never lowers your score.

    What if I let someone in by mistake?

    A red No valid pass marker follows that group. Tap it and your attendant asks them to leave and renew their pass at the office. If you leave them in too long, residents notice and happiness drops.

    Are these scores shared with Pickup Day?

    No. Pool Day Rush has its own high-score board. A name you saved for one game can be used in the other.

    Why didn't my score save?

    Each game can be saved once. Names must be 2 to 16 letters or numbers and family-friendly. Very short games and scores that aren't possible are not accepted.
