How to Play on Crash or Cash: Controls, Credits and Tips for Popular Games

Crash or Cash is a collection of free browser games, so every game starts the same way: pick one from the home page, press Play, and you are in. This short guide covers the basics that apply across the whole collection, plus quick tips for some of the most played games.

Getting started

• No account needed: best scores and your credit balance are saved in your browser, so play on the same browser and device to keep your progress.
• Any screen: use a mouse and keyboard on desktop, or taps and swipes on phones and tablets.
• Sound: most games have a sound button, so you can play quietly at work or on the train.

How the credits work

Many games in the collection share one balance of free virtual credits. Credits have no cash value: you cannot buy them and you cannot withdraw them. They simply keep score in games like Cash or Crash and Plinko, so you can see how well a round went.

Quick tips for popular games

• Cash or Crash: the multiplier climbs as the rocket rises. Cash out before it crashes; steady small cash-outs usually last longer than chasing a huge multiplier.
• Cross the Road: hop with the arrow keys or W A S D, or tap and swipe on a phone. Keep moving forward, because waiting too long brings the eagle.
• Chess: pick a difficulty before you start. Use Undo to learn from a mistake and Flip to look at the board from the other side.
• Minesweeper: use the numbers to work out where the mines are, flag them, then clear the safe squares around them.
• Sudoku: start with the rows, columns and boxes that are nearly full; every number you place narrows the options elsewhere.
• Yatzy: aim for the upper-section bonus early, and save Chance for a roll that fits nowhere else.

Finding your next game

Games are grouped into categories such as classic board and card games, puzzles, arcade games and casual multiplier games. Most game pages also explain the full rules underneath the game, so you can learn something new without leaving the browser.
