What should I do first in RISK IT!?
Start with THE BUTTON and cash out after one or two presses for a quick win. Then try QUICK DRAW and PERFECT STOP, which reward practice. Watch the lamps in DOOR NUMBER WHO: the trap door's lamp flickers. Check which challenge is today's Hot Seat for double GUTS.
Ten tips
- Start with [THE BUTTON](@the-button). One safe press doubles the pot to 20; cashing out there is an 88% shot at your first win.
- Bronze on THE BUTTON is a pot of 40, which takes two safe presses (about a 70% chance).
- In [QUICK DRAW](@quick-draw), react to green, not to change. More than half of rounds flash yellow first. Pressing on yellow launches you.
- In [PERFECT STOP](@perfect-stop), press a little before the zone. The needle keeps moving while your finger does. Aim for the gold centre band: perfects decide the medal.
- In [DOOR NUMBER WHO](@door-number-who), wait a second and watch the lamps. The trap door's lamp flickers. Spending a moment watching is worth it.
- In [MELTDOWN](@meltdown), keep moving. Half of every wave targets the tiles around you; standing still is the fastest way down.
- In [COPY THAT](@copy-that), bank before you're unsure. Each extra arrow pays more, but a wrong one ends the run with nothing.
- In [THE SWEEPER](@the-sweeper), jump the low arms and wait for the wall. The middle arm is too tall to jump; let it pass.
- In [LONG SHOT](@long-shot), use the ring markers on the meters. The pink ticks show exactly where each ring is for aim and power.
- Check the [Hot Seat](@hot-seat). One challenge a day pays double GUTS; its pad pulses faster.
