How to Play

Six Fixtures. One Valve. 60 Seconds.

The house below is losing water fast — showers, sinks, the washer supply, even the hose bib outside. Your job: shut it all off before the timer hits zero.

Jump to the game
  1. Press Start and the clock begins: six fixtures are running at once — the upstairs shower and sink, the kitchen sink, the washing machine supply, the downstairs half-bath sink, and the outdoor hose bib.

  2. Click or tap a fixture to work its valve. Sink handles close with a quick triple-tap; the shower, washer supply, and hose bib need a press-and-hold twist.

  3. Once all six are off, the main shutoff valve next to the water heater starts glowing. Hold it to close the whole house down and win.

  4. Beat the 60-second timer and your score is the time you had to spare. Keyboard players: Tab moves between running fixtures, and holding Enter or Space works the valve.

Why This Matters

In a Real Emergency, You Skip Straight to the Main Valve

When a pipe bursts, you don't shut fixtures off one by one — you close the main shutoff valve and stop the whole house at once. The game's finale is the real lesson: find your main shutoff before you ever need it. In most Southern California homes it's near the front hose bib, in the garage, or at the street-side meter box.

Know how to do this for real — step-by-step emergency shutoff
  • Washer hoses fail quietly

    Burst washing machine supply hoses are one of the most common causes of home floods — and they usually let go when nobody's in the laundry room.

  • Hose bibs split in cold snaps

    An unprotected outdoor bib can freeze, crack, and soak the wall cavity it's mounted in before anyone notices a drip inside.

  • Water heaters age at the tank

    Sediment buildup strains the tank year after year. A yearly flush — like our $99 Power Flush — keeps it efficient. If yours is already leaking, our water heater repair team answers 24/7 at (877) 798-7487.

In most Southern California homes it’s a ball or gate valve where the water line enters the house — commonly near the front hose bib, in the garage, or at the street-side meter box. Our step-by-step emergency shutdown guide shows exactly what to look for.
Once a year for most tank water heaters — flushing clears the sediment that steals hot-water capacity and shortens tank life. Our $99 Power Flush visit includes the flush plus an anode rod inspection, water quality test, and full system check.
Yes. Tab cycles through the running fixtures, Enter or Space works each valve (hold it for hold-style valves), every shutoff is announced with the remaining count and time, and the game auto-pauses when the page loses focus. Reduced-motion settings swap the animated water for static on/off indicators.
