Playfish : Pet Society, Hurdle race Tips and Tricks

When I first started hurdle race, I lost in all the 10 races. I had done a fair share of practice and hope these little tricks and tips helps you to increase your chance of winning.

I bet most would have missed this screen when you started racing. I did that's why I lost all races for days. This is the first set of instruction which you need to read so as to do well in the race. It's the basic.



Trick 1: When preparing to start the race. I keep my eyes on the pet that waves the start off. Look at that pet's eyebrow when the screen is about to flash "GO" the eyebrow will straighten horizontally and pause. That's when I click on my pet to start.



Trick 2: When you are crossing the hurdles with water, click on the pet one more time to get them out of the water faster. Please do so only when you do not have consecutive hurdles in front of you. In other words be selective when you use this trick.



Trick 3: Pet Society instruction on the speed pad is to step in the middle of the pad then click on the pet. This works most of the time, however if you are neck to neck with another pet and you are at the last speed pad, (Just before the finishing line) CLICK on the pet the minute it steps on the pad. You would find that you'll have a higher chances of crossing the finishing line faster.



Trick 4: First of all, do you know how hard it is to take these banana screen shots. Arrh! I had to do stretching with my fingers... (meaning to hold down Alt, Ctrl and the PrtSc key all at the same time to grab the pic while controlling the mouse with the other??!!)

Ok I'm not sure how well you can see the wordings or if it turns out well on your screen. In any case I'm going to do a simple summary. See banana peel - Just CLICK on them, don't jump. Why? Cos it's faster and you may get coins at times.

Banana Peel Advance



This is about when to click on the banana peel and when not to click.

In picture 1, I would go ahead and click because the other 2 pets are ahead of me.

In picture 2. I will not click, look carefully, there is another pet right beside me, I will leave the peel there to slow the other pet down. Get it? :> Strategize to maximize your coin harvest and chance in winning the race .... !
