How to Play Dumb Ways to Die
Download and Install:
Download Dumb Ways to Die from your app store and install it on your device.
Open the game to start playing. The game will guide you through a brief tutorial on how to interact with the mini-games.
Understand the Goal:
The objective is to complete a series of fast-paced mini-games where you prevent the characters from dying in hilariously dumb ways. Each mini-game is timed, and you must react quickly to avoid fatal mistakes.
Basic Controls:
Swipe, tap, drag, and tilt: Each mini-game will have different controls depending on the challenge. For example, you may need to swipe to swat wasps, tap to flick away piranhas, or tilt your device to balance a glue eater.
Follow the instructions that appear before each mini-game to understand what action you need to take. Be quick and precise, as each game is time-sensitive!
Mini-Game Examples:
Run from Fire: Swipe or tap to move the character and escape from a fire.
Remove Forks from Toasters: Carefully drag the forks out of toasters without getting shocked.
Balance the Glue Eater: Tilt your device to keep the glue-eating character balanced and prevent them from falling.
Swat Wasps: Tap rapidly on wasps to swat them before they sting the character.
Avoid Piranhas: Flick away piranhas by swiping your screen to protect your character from a painful bite.
Increase Difficulty:
As you progress, the mini-games get faster and more challenging. You'll need quicker reflexes and better accuracy to prevent the characters from dying.
Each mini-game is random, so you never know what challenge will come next, keeping the gameplay unpredictable and exciting.
Earn Points and Unlock Characters:
Every time you successfully complete a mini-game, you earn points. The more points you collect, the more dumb characters you unlock for your train station.
After achieving high scores, you'll also unlock the famous music video that started the game.
Create Your Own Character:
Use points or achievements to customize your very own Dumb Ways character. Choose from different facial features, accessories, and outfits to create a unique character to add to your collection.
Failing a Mini-Game:
If you fail to complete a mini-game in time, the character will meet a "dumb" end, and you lose a life.
You start the game with three lives, and when all lives are lost, the game is over. Try to keep as many characters alive as possible to prolong the game.
Stay Safe Around Trains:
While the game is fun and silly, it also promotes a serious message about safety around trains. Certain mini-games, like pulling a character away from the edge of a platform or waiting patiently at a crossing, remind players to be cautious around train tracks.
