Cookie Run (Hangul: 쿠키런; RR Kukireon) is a series of online mobile endless running games developed by Devsisters. The goal is to get the most points possible within your lifespan while avoiding various obstacles and collecting jellies. The game is available on iOS and Android devices.

Gameplay

"Cookie Run" is a series of online mobile running games, with the most recent, non spin-off game being Cookie Run: Ovenbreak, where you run with 111 cookies, 105 pets, and 69 treasures, all bearing a different number of points depending on the Combi used. Cookie Run at the moment includes 6 modes, with other modes that will come and go for events. Cookie Trials is a mode where you run with certain combis out of the cookies collected, where you try to get the most points possible to move up the ranks, going from Bronze to Diamond. Every time a new rank is reached, you will gain a new reward. When a new cookie comes out with a Cookie Trial, cookies will have a New Cookie Cup, which gives you extra reward for each rank up, such as more crystals or chests to be used in Gacha to unlock new cookies, pets, or treasures.

Trophy Race is an online multiplayer mode where you play with up to 10 global players to get the highest score. The higher the score earned, the more Trophies you get. Trophies are used to unlock new lands up to Champion's League. The Champion's League is a mode where the most skilled players run in 3 arenas, to earn ranks at the end of a season. By running in the Champion's League, you earn Medals, which can be exchanged for items, cookies, costumes, pets, or treasures. The Champion's League also includes the Hall of Fame, where you pay tribute to the highest ranking players globally, for free, in reward such as crystals, rescue tickets, or coins.

Breakout is the main mode of "Cookie Run", where anywhere from 3 to 12 cookies run to escape the oven. Every relay adds more points onto your combined score which is used to determine your rank for a certain period of time. Each rank will earn more crystals, and legendary cookies if you obtain Diamond Ranking at the end of the Running period.

Island of Memories is the final mode on the mode select screen where you run through the memories of "Hero Cookie", "Cheerleader Cookie", and "Dr Wasabi and Mustard Cookie", with new types of boss fights for each Island. Every level played will earn you stars depending on how well you complete certain objectives, which are used to unlock items such as costumes, crystals, coins, and other islands and cookies.

Cookie Run's final, and newest mode, Guild Run, is a mode where you run with your Guild, an interactive group of global players where you can run, cook, and explore different regions together. Guild Run's are split into competitive seasons, where 4 Guilds run against each other in different lands bearing different bonuses each. The rank in Guild Run determines your Guild's rank, which rewards the player more or less depending on their participation, and the Rank itself.
