Welcome to Being a Dik Mini-Games Guide, which helps you to how to play and win the mini games and pass the class exam.
Mini-games – To play or not to play them?
Being a DIK has several mini-games. When you start a new game, you get the option to play the game with or without the mini-games.
You can still get the same rewards in either way you choose to play, with the only exception being that some Steam achievements require you to play with mini-games enabled. There may be shorter scenes that you only get from playing the game with mini-games enabled, but don’t let this deter you if you don’t want to play the mini-games. Playing Being a DIK should feel fun for you, not like a chore.
Passing the mini-games earns you rewards, and there are several ways to make the mini-games easier. You can buy boosters or cheats, upgrade stats and study for tests. Your phone has several mini-games that let you earn money and rewards.
During free-roam events, you can find money to spend on various things in the game. If you play the game with mini-games disabled, you get double the amount to compensate for the lack of money from not playing mini-games whenever you find money during free-roam events.
In-game stores – What you can buy
You can buy things from Derek, Magnar, and Quinn by calling them during a free-roam event. Derek sells cheats for mini-games, Magnar sells boosters for mini-games, and Quinn sells…well…sex.
Using cheats in the game will increase your DIK score, and refraining from using cheats will lower your DIK score.
Use Derek’s services if you’re ok with gaining DIK points.
• Use Magnar’s services if you want simpler mini-games and aim to have a low DIK score.
• Using both Derek’s and Magnar’s services in combination is ok, too. Derek sells:
• English, Math and Gender studies cheat, three levels ($, $$, $$$)
• Shuffle Cheat, three levels ($, $$, $$$)
• Brawler skill point, three levels ($, $$, $$$)
Magnar sells:
• English, Math and Gender studies booster, three levels ($, $$, $$$)
• Take notes for nerds ($$$) (Recommended to buy early to earn more money!)
Quinn sells various girls, and her special offers are limited to certain parts of the story.
Mini-games – How to play them
This section will guide you through how to play all mini-games in Being a DIK. It will not show the solutions to specific mini-games. If you are looking to beat a specific mini-game, i.e., the English class in episode 2, read the walkthrough section for that episode.
Shuffle – How to play it Being a dik
Shuffle is a tile swapping mini-game available on your phone during free- roam events. The goal is to rearrange the tiles to make a picture. You can win money ($) from this mini-game, once per free-roam.
Click on a tile next to the empty slot to move that tile. If you are close to solving the puzzle and have upgraded the shuffle cheat skill sold by Derek when calling him during a free-roam, you can click the SOLVE button to complete the puzzle.
The easiest way to beat Shuffle is to upgrade and use the Shuffle Cheat (SOLVE).
Using this strategy will also be guaranteed to win Shuffle every time:
• Start by solving the green squares titled 1-3.
• Solve the yellow squares titled 4 and 7.
• Solve the rest of the puzzle without ever moving the tiles 1-4 & 7.
Brawler – How to play it Being a dik
In Brawler, you fight against opponents in a quick-time mini-game. There are three different difficulty settings in Brawler. You can always decrease the difficulty in the Brawler app, but once you have decreased it, you can’t increase it again.
The game mechanics of Brawler are re-used in the story during fights. The skills and skill points you unlock and allocate in the Brawler app are used in the story- based fights to your advantage.
To play Brawler, open the Brawler app on your phone during a free-roam event. The first time you play it, you will get to choose difficulty setting and watch a tutorial. Allocate your skill points using the Skills menu. Increase a stat using the plus (+) button and decrease it using the minus (-) button.
The different stats will give you different advantages.
Power (POW) will make you hit harder, Dexterity (DEX) will give you a longer reaction time, Health points (HP) will give you more health, and Movement (MOV) will give you a chance to hit the opponent multiple times in succession. The recommended order
of upgrading your skills is:
DEX >> POW > MOV > HP
The Brawler store sells skills and skill points.
Derek also sells skill points to Brawler, and they are cheaper to get early on. To buy from Derek, call him during a free-roam event. The Counter attack skill is the best; it gives you a chance to hit the opponent if you dodge his attack successfully. The Roundhouse kick makes some of your attacks more powerful. The Healing skill can be good for you if you find yourself losing a lot of health in fights. When fighting in Brawler, there are two different phases, Attack and Defend.
When attacking, first select an attack using the arrow keys. Beware, you have to avoid the words MISS, NOPE, and FAIL, or you’ll miss your attack. After choosing an attack, arrows will pop up on the screen. Press the correct sequence, from left to right, to complete your attack. When defending, you will have to press the correct sequence, much like when attacking. If you fail, the opponent will hit you. If you succeed, you will dodge the attack. If you bought the Counter attack skill, there’s a chance that you will attack the opponent after a successful dodge.
ROUND, OUCH, POWER, and SUPER – use the Roundhouse kick skill
HEAL – uses the Healing skill and heals you for 50 HP
Defeat the nerd once each free-roam event to earn money ($).
Defeat the prep when he offers a special render reward to unlock that special render.
Defeat the jock once each free-roam event to earn a new skill point. When you have maxed out your skill points, beating the jock will earn you money ($) once per free-roam instead of skill points.
