Fall BackYour phone fixed itself. Nothing else did.
Race to reset every clock in the house — the microwave, the oven, the car, a four-button digital watch, the clock radio, the boiler timer and the VCR that has blinked 12:00 since 1997 — each with its real, maddening controls.

Pick your morning
How it works
1 · Check your phone
The phone in the bar at the top updated itself overnight. It is the one true time. It keeps ticking.
2 · Fix the house
Tap a room, then fight the gadget. Car buttons only go forwards. The boiler dial only turns clockwise. The watch has four buttons and no mercy.
3 · Share the damage
Get a time, a press count, an efficiency score, a rank and a nemesis. Manuals exist — but each one costs you 5 seconds.

Every clock agrees. Finally.
Where the time went
Par is the fewest presses a careful person needs. Efficiency = par ÷ your presses.
