77-36

You owe the loan sharks a million dollars. They've locked you in a room with a desk, an iPad and a coin.

The deal is simple. Buy scratch tickets on your iPad. Scratch them. Keep the wins. Every week they call and take half of what you hold. Miss too many calls and they come round.

SCRATCH

Pick up a ticket and scratch it with your coin, one spot at a time. Fourteen tickets, from the $1 Scratch and Win to the $1000 Show Me the Money Max, each with its own way to win. Better coins scratch faster.

BUILD A LITTLE EMPIRE

Buy scratcher machines that chew through tickets for you. Hire SharkBots, tiny robots that feed the machines, stomp tickets clean with their feet and throw the losers off the table. When there's nothing to do they dance, nap and high five each other.

STAY ALIVE

Order food on SharkEats before you pass out. Hide cash under the mattress. Sleep through the night if you like.

THE IPAD

Your laptop's files and the sharks' apps, all on one iPad: Lucky Slots, the Shark Wheel, SharkTrade, SharkBet, chess against the Great White, Sudoku, Words, Blocks, Snake, Spider, SharkSweeper, Jigsaw and a music player.

KEEP IT CLOSE

Texts from friends who might lend you money. Loans from people who definitely shouldn't. A wallet, a store, an internet full of bad advice.

Lose everything and you start again, but your Fortune carries over and each game gets a little easier.

How long can you keep scratching?
