Dumb Ways to Die

    OVERVIEW

    Background

    Born from Metro Trains Melbourne’s immensely successful public safety campaign, Dumb Ways to Die transformed a catchy viral video into an addictive game. The game's clips quickly garnered enthusiastic support. To date, a total of four installments have been released. This collection of point-and-click minigames challenges players to save hapless characters from ridiculous deaths.

    A few characters

    • Numpty is a blue, bean-shaped character. He frequently appears with his head on fire.
    • Dippy is a pink, bean-shaped character. Upon meeting his demise, his lower body is stripped of flesh by piranhas, leaving three of the fish clinging to his skeleton.
    • Dimwit is a Picton-blue, bean-shaped character with bear-like ears. After attempting his own electrical repairs, he is burned to death when his house catches fire.
    • Pillock is a turquoise, bean-shaped character. After ingesting expired medicine, lumps erupt all over his body, except for his arms and legs.

    GAMEPLAY

    The bean-shaped characters in the game are incredibly reckless. Death can strike at any moment, whether from slipping into a swimming pool, racing against piranhas, or brushing a shark's teeth. The player's goal is to rescue these characters from perilous situations. You might need to balance a precarious stack of objects about to topple or guide someone safely across train tracks. You have a total of three lives to complete the challenges. Can you successfully protect these adorable beans?
