Soap Opera Dash tip and tricks

If you're addicted to Soap Opera Dash but could use a few hints on producing the greatest soap opera ever, read on!

In the game, you play as Rosie the Regular running your own show. The game of Dash™ has changed a bit, but the key gameplay elements you have learned to love are all there. Explore some of your own strategies or check out some tips from the game's producer, Cazcreator:

Chaining

Definition: performing like tasks consecutively

Chain, chain, chain. If you want to wow your friends with impressive scores, chaining is key. For the loyal dash fans, chaining and the role it plays in achieving high scores is nothing new. For the newbies, learn it and learn it well as it is signature Dash gameplay.

Maximize your ability to chain by filling stations with actors prior to servicing them. For example if you have three open chairs in the Hair Station, fill each chair with an actor first then click on all three of them to start service. Wham-o! Hair Station x3!

Expert Tip: Your chain bonus can exceed the number of chairs available in a particular station. In the example above you can surpass a 3x Chain Bonus by making sure actors have already read their scripts and are ready to occupy a hair chair when vacated. Note: clicking and dragging actors from one station to another does not break your chain but servicing an actor at another station will.

Color-matching

Definition: matching customers to like colored stations and scripts

Match customers to same colored station chairs for extra points. To put it simply, place yellow customers in yellow chairs. If the color is matched consecutively per station, the bonus multiplier increases proportionately. Seating a customer in the wrong colored chair will reset the color match multiplier. Color match when you can to earn bonus points!

Expert tip: Dedicate certain station chairs to specific colors to remind you to color match. You won’t always be able to color match everything, so concentrate on maximizing the color match multiplier on a select color or two.

Prioritize

Not every actor is needed for the current scene. Pay special attention to the actors with the clapper icon as it indicates that they are needed on stage. Prioritize appropriately. Take care not to become overly consumed with just those actors, as you may miss opportunities to maximize chain and color match bonuses. Find the balance that allows you to prepare the set swiftly but without losing out on points. Most importantly, don’t get caught with all the wrong actors prepared for the set or Aunt Ethel will give you an earful!

Happy Actors

You’ve heard the stories: actors get upset when they don’t get their way. No different here. Keep your actors happy and your scores will soar. An actor with five hearts will earn you 500 points for service at a station. Four hearts, 400 points. You get the idea!

There are several things you can do to keep actors happy.

  1. Service them swiftly. They hate waiting.
  2. Refresh them with Iced Tea. Actors love iced tea.

  4. Upgrade equipment that increases patience.

Expert tip: Use the actor waiting chair when possible. It keeps actors from getting impatient.

Keep Aunt Ethel Happy

Don’t let her get angry. You wouldn’t like her when she’s angry.

Aunt Ethel is particular about timely prop placement. Once the actors are on the set be sure to promptly place the props or else! Oh and you can only delay filming for so long. Get Hal to the camera quickly or you may end up upsetting Ethel and that’s not good, as you can see below.
