How to play Hickory Dickory Dock
These notes cover the controls, rules, and decisions in this browser version.
Play a round
- Read the quick instructions, choose OK, and watch Pip sniff his way out of the mouse hole in the lower-left corner.
- Drag Pip across the floor to collect the treasure waiting on the right side of the grandfather clock.
- Carry the treasure back to the mouse hole while avoiding the escaped pendulum and rolling clockwork gears.
- Complete the cheese, button, and biscuit errands without losing all three lives. Arrow keys or WASD also move Pip.
Strategy for this version
- Watch the pendulum complete one swing before crossing its path instead of chasing directly behind it.
- Move above or below an approaching gear; continuing straight across the floor makes Pip an easy target.
- The return trip is faster when you stay near the lower edge, but leave room to dodge newly rolling gears.
- Each errand adds speed, so pause near the mouse hole after Pip emerges and read the new rhythm first.
