How it Works:

When you start the app, the first thing you‘ll need to decide is where you want to park your Smart Cart ice cream truck. Choose the beach, the park, or the city. Your ice cream truck will drive there, and you’ll be open for business.

Set Up Shop

After you’ve parked your truck, the gate will open, and customers will arrive.

Serve Your Customers

Crazy characters will appear in the window of your ice cream truck and place their orders. If you don’t see a person, just push the yellow Service button. Once they are there, touch anywhere in the service window and they’ll ask for delicious treats that match numbers, values, shapes, colors, and more. Then it will be up to you to find the right one and make the customer happy.

If you’re not ready to serve up a treat and just want to explore the goodies in your ice cream truck, tap the yellow Service button. Your customer will go away. But don’t worry. He or she will be back again soon!

Have Fun!

There are many more features to explore in your ice cream truck. Open the freezer to enjoy a rockin’ alphabet tune from Sugar and the Cones. Plunk out a little ditty on the ice-pop piano. Feed a chocolate to the alphabet-burping monster. Make art projects with fruit flies or powdered candy.

Laugh, learn, and have fun!
