Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cookie Clicker?
Cookie Clicker is an incremental idle game where you click a cookie to earn cookies, then use those cookies to buy upgrades that automatically produce more cookies. It's simple to play but deeply satisfying!
What are golden cookies?
Golden cookies appear randomly on screen and give you special bonuses when clicked. They can give you free cookies, multiply your production (Frenzy), or massively boost your clicking power (Click Frenzy).
What is the prestige system?
When you've baked enough cookies, you can 'prestige' to reset your game but keep a permanent production multiplier. Each prestige level gives you +10% more cookies forever!
Does the game save automatically?
Yes! Your game saves every 30 seconds and when you close the browser. You also earn cookies at 50% efficiency while away, so you'll come back to a nice surprise!
Which upgrades should I buy first?
Early on, focus on cursors and grandmas. As you progress, higher-tier buildings become more efficient. Always buy upgrades when they cost less than 10 minutes of your current production.
