Franks & Buns is a free browser-based arcade game inspired by the classic one-tap mechanics of Flappy Bird, but with hot dogs. The premise is simple: a rogue frank has escaped the kitchen, and it's your job to guide it into buns while dodging the chef's fork and racking up the highest score possible.
The game is completely free to play, works on any device with a web browser, and requires no download or account. Just tap, fly, and land your frank.
It all starts with a hungry dog. In the opening cutscene, a dog makes off with a hot dog, tongue out and tail wagging. The chef gives chase, fork raised and white jacket flapping, but the dog trips and the frank goes flying. That airborne hot dog? That's you.
From there you navigate a scrolling kitchen, landing in buns perched on counters, shelves, ovens, and fridges. Collect condiment bonuses for score multipliers, fill boxes of six franks for big point bursts, and watch out for the chef's arm that shoots up from below with a fork ready to end your run.
That's you. A plucky little sausage with grill marks and a smile, just trying to find a good bun.
He wants his hot dog back. His fork appears without warning. Dodge it or lose a life.
The chaos agent. After box 3 the dog appears as a bonus target worth a massive 1000 points.
Every frank you land in a bun scores 100 base points. But the real fun is in the multipliers. Condiment buns marked with squeeze bottles of mustard, ketchup, relish, cheese, or jalapeño multiply your score by 2x, 3x, 5x, or even 10x. Land 3 in a row for a streak bonus, 5 in a row for Franks on Fire, and 10 in a row for the legendary Wiener Wizard mode at 3x multiplier.
Every 6 franks fills a box. Complete a box for a big point bonus and a speed increase. The further you get, the faster and more chaotic the kitchen becomes.
Tap, click, or press Space to boost your frank upward. Release to let gravity bring it down. Time your drops to land perfectly in the open bun slots as they scroll past. The kitchen moves from left to right. Buns appear at different heights, so you'll need to navigate up and down to reach them all.
Miss a bun, hit the floor, or collide with the chef's fork and you lose a life. Three lives and it's game over. Your best score is saved locally in your browser so you can always chase your personal best.
Franks & Buns is completely free to play. No downloads, no accounts, no paywalls. The game is supported by Google AdSense advertising which allows us to keep it free for everyone.
