Thank you for purchasing Flossing! The Game.

As you embark upon this adventure in dental hygiene, don’t forget to have fun =)

Object of the Game: See how far you can go in your dental hygiene journey! In a world where you can control so little, at least you can achieve healthy gums.

Who Can Play: Anybody with one or more teeth, a competitive spirit, and a thirst for blood.

Game Play:

Floss once. — Move forward 1 space.

Floss more than once a year. — Move forward 2 spaces.

Successfully dislodge that popcorn kernel piece that’s been stuck between your molars since you went to see Bohemian Rhapsody in theaters in 2018. — Move forward 5 spaces.

Have a dream where you lose your teeth because you don’t floss enough. — Return to Start. And talk to your therapist.
