Tips & tactics

01Do not spend everything on the expensive tickets the moment you can afford one.
02Each ticket type has its own mechanic — read what it wants before buying a stack.
03The dish washing is a floor, not a strategy. It exists so you cannot go bankrupt.
04Expect long stretches of nothing. That is the joke and the design at once.

About Scritchy Scratchy

Scritchy Scratchy is an idle game wrapped around the psychology of scratch cards: a small guaranteed income, a purchase, a reveal, and the pull to do it again.

New ticket types unlock as you progress and each brings a different reveal mechanic, which is what keeps the loop from flattening.
