Bark Avenue is a competitive route optimization game where you step into the role of a dog walker in upper Manhattan. Your goal is to balance walking several dogs, each with unique needs such as walk length, preferred activities, and bathroom breaks, while managing their compatibility with other dogs.

You’ll need to solve the puzzle of returning dogs on time and decide which dogs to walk next. Utilize public transportation to position yourself advantageously for upcoming walks. As you build your reputation with good ratings, you'll unlock new abilities, like walking more dogs simultaneously, going off-leash at the dog park, and performing additional actions like picking up dogs and visiting pet shops. Be cautious, as returning dogs late could result in a loss of payment!
