Dig Dig Die Tips & Tricks

How to use this tips page

These Dig Dig Die tips & tricks are habit lists for Alice Games’ Steam co-op horror—not a fake “10 developer secrets” paste. They assume the public pillars: cursed flying ship hub, haunted graveyard digs, sound-hunting monsters, proximity voice chat, UFO chaos, limited carry decisions, vending machines, and a ship casino.

New players should still read How to Play first. This page is the pocket card you open between raids.

Welcome to Dig Dig Die — official Alice Games intro

Sound tips (the real meta)

1. Treat every shovel hit as a ping. Digging is progress and a beacon—batch digs, then relocate.
2. Push-to-talk beats open mic on learning nights—see Voice Stealth.
3. Laugh offline. Proximity voice is a stealth layer; comedy is free on Discord desktop mute, expensive in-graveyard.
4. Drop loud objectives when a hunter locks. Ego digs create montage deaths—Beat Monsters.
5. One caller owns extract language. Six people negotiating is six noise sources—Co-op Strategies.

Run the interactive Noise Checklist before your second session.

Loot and inventory tips

1. Extraction is the scoreboard. Cool curses that die in a crypt do not count—Loot and Extract.
2. Boosts that help leaving beat trophies that help posing. Speed and mobility tools usually outrank vanity greed.
3. Call curses immediately. Silent curse carrying is how parties invent drama—Cursed Items.
4. Plan slot trades before the dig. Limited carry means pre-agree what gets dropped under pressure.
5. Vendor before casino. Vending machines are the sensible spend lane—Casino & Vending.

Ship hub tips

1. Brief on the ship, dig in the dirt. Roles and casino rules belong in the hub—Cursed Ship.
2. Blackjack is content, not a strategy. One bad hand can undo a clean graveyard.
3. Set a bankroll you can lose. Never stake the only tool that makes the next dig possible.
4. Bar jokes after extract. Celebrate loud where monsters are not listening.

Monster and UFO tips

1. Sound hunters triangulate habits, not only volume spikes. Repeated dig sites become graves for you too—Sound Hunting.
2. Break chase angles; do not duel for pride. Crowbars are emergency tools—Weapons & Tools Guide.
3. UFO beam = leave. Standing still for the meme is how parties lose a Runner—UFO Events.
4. If someone vanishes, re-center on extract, not a six-person search scream.

Co-op social tips

1. Assign Runner / Distractor / Support before Steam says “play”—Crew Role Planner.
2. Betrayal is optional comedy. Decide if loot-stealing is allowed before the first crypt.
3. Short callouts only: “Hunter left,” “Extract now,” “Curse on me,” “UFO up.”
4. First night = learning raid. Ban speedrun ego; use Launch Checklist.

Pre-launch vs post-launch tip hygiene

Before August 6, 2026, treat exact percentages and “S-tier item names” as theorycraft—label them via the Tier List Hub. After launch, replace vibes with your crew’s extract logs and official Steam notes from the News Hub.
