🏃 Any% Route (Fastest Completion)
The Any% Whopper Clicker speedrun is the most popular category. The goal is reaching 1 million burgers as quickly as possible using any strategy except prestiging.
🎯 Optimal Any% Route
Phase 1: Manual Clicking (0-3 minutes)
- • Click at maximum speed (8-10 CPS sustained)
- • Buy first clicking upgrade at 50 coins
- • Buy second clicking upgrade at 250 coins
- • Continue clicking until 1,000 coins
Phase 2: First Buildings (3-8 minutes)
- • Buy 10 Burger Stands immediately
- • Purchase Building Manager for 2x efficiency
- • Balance clicking upgrades with more stands
- • Reach 50 Burger Stands before moving on
Phase 3: Scaling (8-15 minutes)
- • Unlock Fast Food Restaurants
- • Buy restaurants in groups of 25
- • Purchase restaurant manager ASAP
- • Ignore clicking upgrades during this phase
Phase 4: Final Push (15-18 minutes)
- • Unlock Burger Factories
- • Buy 10-15 factories with manager
- • Purchase global multipliers
- • Fine-tune building ratios for 1M goal
⚠️ Common Any% Mistakes
- Over-investing in clicking: Passive income scales better for long runs
- Buying buildings individually: Always buy in bulk (10x, 25x, 100x)
- Forgetting managers: 2x efficiency is usually worth the cost
- Poor timing on factories: Unlock too early = waste money, too late = slow finish
🏆 First Prestige Speedrun
The First Prestige% category tests your ability to reach and complete your first prestige reset efficiently. This run requires earning at least 10 prestige points.

Key Prestige% Differences
