SURVIVE
KEEP HEALTHY FOR THE JOURNEY AHEAD

  • Pace and Rest
    Players treat the Oregon Trail like a race. But it’s a marathon where you can go long distances by playing the game correctly.
    So, instead of keeping the game fast-paced. You should try to rest at certain intervals. Doing this will not only keep your health in check, but it will also make sure that you don’t die of exhaustion.

  • Buy and Trade for Supplies

  • Make sure to have enough supplies

  • Keep Clean

GET TO OREGON
DON'T STOP

  • CRAWL
  • WALK
  • RUN

JUST GET TO THE END WITHOUT DYING
