Is this sentence correct ?
"Avoid fruits that do not lose the game"


thanks all!
 
Welcome to the forum.

No sentence can be correct without a final punctuation mark.

In what context do you want to use it?

Start every sentence with a capital letter.
 
Thank You so much!

context of this sentence: this is for helping people for a video game that if they do not avoid fruits they lose the game.

These two statements are contradictory.

Here you say that if they don't avoid fruits, they lose - in other words, if they touch or collide with the fruits, they lose.

"Avoid fruits that do not lose the game"

Here you are saying that you should avoid fruits which don't lose the game - in other words, you're telling them not to touch the fruits which are safe (do NOT lose the game). This is also saying that they should then touch the 'dangerous' fruits in order to lose the game. Either way, you're telling them how to lose, not how to win.


Should players avoid all fruit, or are there good fruits and bad fruits, and they should only avoid the 'bad' ones which can make them lose the game?

Thank You so much for saying very nice details.

My purpose: All fruits are bad and if You touch each of them you lose instantly.

what is the best and most formal form of this purpose?
 
Some context about your game would have been very helpful in your original post. Did you really think that all of us understood the rules of your game?
 
Then in that case, any of the following would work.

"Avoid all fruits or you instantly lose the game."
"Avoid all fruits or you lose the game."
"Avoid all fruits or lose the game."
 
Or more simply, "You will lose the game immediately if you touch any fruit."
 
Or, "Touch the fruit and you lose."
 
Thanks all so so much!
