## How to Play & Win the Dice Game
The dice game against Lumble, located in the Blasted Steps, is all about timing the button release. Here’s how it works:
– Press and hold the play button.
– Release it to toss the dice.
If you release the button at the correct moment, Hornet will throw the dice, they will glow brightly, and you will win the round.
### Winning Strategy
According to SerfaSam on Cortex, to guarantee a win at the dice game, release the button after roughly **four seconds**.
Alternatively, you can count Hornet’s arm movements for more precise timing. When you hold the play button, Hornet begins flicking her hand back and forth, shaking the dice.
– Each flick of her hand toward her counts as one.
– Count up to 14 flicks and release the button on the 14th flick.
If timed correctly, Hornet will grunt, and the dice will glow bright blue—signaling a win.
Keep winning rounds, and eventually, you will earn the **Magnetic Dice**, a valuable new tool to aid you on your journey.
