Tips for Dreader

  • If you're stuck, walk away for 60 seconds. Puzzle games like Dreader reward fresh eyes more than hard thinking.
  • Don't make the obvious move first. The intended move in a tricky puzzle is usually the second-least obvious option.
  • Aim for consistency before peak score. Long, clean runs train muscle memory better than rare highs.
  • If Dreader has audio cues, play with sound — most arcade games telegraph hazards through audio first.
