On this night, you will be visited by 5 trick or treaters. Heed their warnings, remember what is almost lost or be lost yourself forever...

EmergencyCrank is the first Playdate idle game for lifesavers! Start with a tiny rescue station and crank your way up to a regional emergency campus. Turn the Playdate crank to earn cash, hire staff, buy upgrades, and unlock ambulances, rescue drones, doctors, and helicopters. Dispatch calls bring quick minigames involving timing, memory, D-pad inputs, first-aid questions, crank control, and motion-controlled helicopter landings. Your station keeps earning between missions, while the dispatch ticker delivers real, unusual, and funny callouts inspired by the developer's time as a volunteer paramedic in Austria. Return each day to choose a free reinforcement for your crew. Complete the station to unlock New Game+, choose a Prestige Focus, research permanent Command Academy bonuses, collect cosmetics, and chase achievements across multiple runs. As you can see, there's plenty to do, lifesaver.
