Part 1: Gettin’ Started 🚀 – Nailing Your First Deadlines
Welcome to the Pit: A Guide to Your New Home 🏠
You wake up in a gross, rusty cell 🤢. It stinks. Below you? A scary grate over a bottomless pit. 😱 In front? A big, mean-looking slot machine 🎰. There’s also an ATM 🏧 and a vending machine 🛒.
This is your new home in CloverPit. Yep, you’ve been kidnapped, and your only way out is to feed that machine, pay your debt, and hope you live to see tomorrow. 😅
This guide has one big secret: you’re not a gambler. 🙅♀️ You’re a system-breaker. Some folks think this game is all random luck (RNG 🎲), but we know better. That slot machine isn’t just chance; it’s a puzzle 🧩. Your goal is to stop being a victim and start being the boss. The game calls it a “sinister tale of addiction and escape,” and you’re gonna master the very thing trying to trap you. 🧠
This “hellish escape room” vibe isn’t just for looks. Everything in your cell is a tool. 🛠️
- The Slot Machine 🎰: This is the big one. Your ticket to freedom 🎟️ or your fast-track to ruin 📉. It’s a 5×3 reel where you make patterns. But really, it’s where your strategy (your Lucky Charms) gets put to the test.
- The ATM 🏧: This isn’t just for payments. It’s your BFF for long-term winning. It tracks your scary debt 🧾 but also holds your banked coins, gathering interest between rounds. Deposit early and often! 👏 It’s the most important habit to learn.
- The Lucky Charm Shop 🛒: This vending machine is where you spend your Clover Tickets 🍀. The charms inside are your ‘Jokers’ or ‘Relics.’ The shop restocks between deadlines, so buying and rerolling is a key skill. 💡
- The Drawers 🗄️: These four slots are your key to meta-progression and the game’s true endings. They let you carry a few charms between runs. Super important for setting up big plays and finding those mysterious “corpse pieces.” 💀
- The Telephone ☎️: This old-timey phone rings between rounds and offers you one of three powerful upgrades. These calls can totally change your run, boost your money 💸, or give you cool new powers. Big choices!
By understanding these parts aren’t separate, but all connected, you’ll go from just pulling a lever to pulling all the strings. puppeteer
The Invisible Rules: What’s Really Goin’ On? 🕵️♀️
Success in CloverPit requires you gotta understand the secret rules that control every spin. These things—Debt, Luck, and the scary 666—aren’t random. You can totally predict and use them.
Debt, Deadlines, and the Awesome Power of Interest 🤑
The whole game is about Debt. 😫 At the end of each “deadline” (a few rounds), you must pay up. Fail? The grate opens. Bye-bye. 👋
The debt scales up fast… it’s an exponential curve designed to crush simple strategies.
The first nine deadlines are fixed, from 75 coins up to 33,333 and more. After deadline 9, the debt formula gets wild:
$$\text{OverLimit} = \text{Current Deadline} – 9$$
$$\text{Base Debt} = 10^6 \times ((6 \times 2^{\text{OverLimit} – 1})^{\text{OverLimit}}) \times (\text{OverLimit}^{\max(0, (\text{OverLimit} – 3))})$$
This formula is a check. A build that just adds a little extra cash won’t survive. 💀 This forces you to find strategies that scale exponentially.
And the #1 way to do that? Interest. 🤑
Banking coins in the ATM 🏧 between rounds is the most important habit. That passive income is your foundation. It lets you reroll the shop 🛍️ to find the charms you really need for a powerful, endgame build. Mastering your money flow is step one.
Deconstructing Luck: How to Predict and Control the Reels 📊
In CloverPit, “Luck” is a real stat 📈, not just a feeling. Each point of Luck forces one symbol on the machine to change.
- With 7 Luck, at least 7 symbols will match.
- With 15+ Luck, you get a guaranteed 15-symbol jackpot 잭팟 (unless a 666 hits 😈).
But here’s the secret: a lot of your best luck comes from “Spontaneous Luck,” which is on a schedule you can predict! 🗓️
- Initial Luck Spins (ILS): During the first deadline, these Luck boosts are super frequent and predictable.
- Occasional Luck Spins (OLS): After that, it’s still predictable! The first OLS is random (first 5 spins). After that:$$\text{Next OLS} = (\text{Current Spin #}) + 4 + (\# \text{ of Completed Deadlines}) + (50\% \text{ chance to add } 1)$$
- Pity Spins: If you miss 4 times in a row, the game gives you +5 Luck. Each extra miss adds +1 more. Nice! 👍
This changes everything! You can track your spins and know when a big Luck spin is coming. 🧠💡
An expert player waits for a big OLS, uses an Ancient Coin (+7 Luck) 🪙, and a Rotated Hamsa (+7 Luck on last spin) all at once. Boom! 💥 Jackpot manufactured. You’re not hoping for luck; you’re making it.
The 666 Conundrum: Turning a Threat into a Tool 😈
The “666” 😈… it’s the ultimate risk. When it hits, it wipes out all the coins you earned that round (if you haven’t deposited them yet). For most runs, you want to avoid this. The Holy Bible ✝️ charm can block one 666.
But… you need the 666 to find “corpse pieces” 💀 and get the “red text” phone calls ☎️ for the true ending. It can’t happen before deadline 3, so you have a little time to get set up.
For advanced players, the goal is to control the 666. The best time to trigger it? The very first spin of a round. You lose $0, but you get the secret trigger you wanted! 🥳
How? Build up a HUGE bank account, way more than you need. 💰💰💰 If the deadline is 12,500, try to bank 50,000. With that buffer, you can safely use charms with the Devious modifier (more 666 chance) or the Heartbreak Memory Card (guarantees a 666). When it hits, the loss is tiny. You pay your debt, end the deadline, and you got what you needed. Smart. 😎
Your First Win: The “Keep it Steady” Strategy 👍
For new players, those first deadlines are tough. The key isn’t to chase huge jackpots. It’s to build a reliable, steady income. The best way? The “Golden Fruit” 🍓🍋 approach.
The plan: make a super common, low-value symbol (like Cherries 🍒 or Lemons 🍋) pay out consistently.
- The Restart 🔄: Start a run. If your first shop doesn’t have a Golden Cherry or Golden Lemon charm, just restart. A good start is key.
- The Core Combo 🤝: By the end of deadline 2 (200 coins), you want two charms:
- The Golden Fruit 🌟: Golden Cherry or Golden Lemon. It makes that symbol “Golden” more often, which pays more.
- The Picture 🖼️: The matching Cherry Picture or Lemon Picture. This is a usable charm that makes that symbol show up way more for the whole deadline.
- Build the Engine 🚂: Now you have steady income! 😌 You can stop stressing about each spin and start planning.
- Invest the Profits 💹:
- Banking: Put everything you don’t need for spins into the ATM to get interest 📈.
- Rerolling: Use your cash to reroll the shop 🛍️, hunting for the powerful charms you’ll need for the mid and late game.
This teaches you the big lesson of CloverPit: the early game isn’t about getting rich. It’s about building the foundation to get rich later. 🧱
Part 2: Your Box of Toys 🧸 – A Full Charmpedia!
To master CloverPit, you gotta know your tools. The Lucky Charms are your building blocks. With over 150 items, it can be a lot! 😵 This part will break ’em all down.
How to Read a Charm: Modifiers, Rarities & More 🤓
A charm’s value is more than just its text. You gotta look at its rarity and any special modifiers it has.
Rarities just mean how often it shows up in the shop. Rarer isn’t always better! 🤷♀️
- UNCOMMON: 15% less likely than COMMON.
- RARE: 35% less likely.
- EPIC: 50% less likely.
- ULTRA RARE: 60% less likely.
- LEGENDARY: 75% less likely.
Symbol Modifiers are special powers on the symbols themselves: 💫
- Golden 🪙: Pays more coins. Great for early game.
- Token 🏦: Gives you money based on your interest. This is a late-game powerhouse!
- Ticket 🎟️: Gives you Clover Tickets. The heart of the “Merchant” build.
- Repetition 🔄: Makes the pattern trigger again. A sweet bonus!
- Battery 🔋: Recharges one energy on your “Red Button” usable charms.
- Chain ⛓️: Links symbols together for bigger patterns.
Charm Modifiers are special prefixes that can randomly show up on charms (after you’ve played a bit). These are awesome! 🔥
- Avid ➕: Permanent +1 to your Symbols Multiplier.
- Ambitious ✨: Permanent +1 to your Patterns Multiplier.
- Speculative 💹: Permanent +3% to your interest rate. Oh yeah!
- Devious 😈: Permanent +0.6% chance of a 666. (Good for true ending runs!)
- Gambler 🎲: 1 free shop restock at the start of every deadline.
A COMMON Stonks charm with a Speculative modifier is way better than a RARE charm that doesn’t fit your build.
The CloverPit Charmpedia 📖
Here’s a breakdown of the most important charms and what they do.
The Economic Engine (Interest & Token Scaling 🤑)
These charms make you RICH! They use the ATM’s interest to create exponential growth.

Luck & RNG Mitigation (Controlling Chaos 😌)
Charms to smooth out the randomness and make luck work for you.
- Horseshoe horseshoe: (3 Tickets) “Triggers Randomly” effects happen twice as often. This makes good charms amazing.
- Synergies: Fake Coin, Green/Red Pepper.

Utility & Special Mechanics (Game-Breakers 🧑🔬)

Synergy Spotlight: How to Make Awesome Combos 💥
- Combo 1: The Infinite Reroll Machine 🛍️♾️This is the “Merchant” build. You use Shoe/Wheelbarrow 👟 to get tickets, then Cloverpot 🍀 to make it sustainable. Then, you find Cigarettes 🚬. Now you have infinite rerolls! You can shop for any charm you want.
- Combo 2: The Red Button Apocalypse 💥This build maximizes your first spin. The core is the Nuclear Button ☢️. Combine it with tons of Picture charms 🖼️ and Number 1/2 charms 1️⃣2️⃣. Activate them all at once. The Nuke Button makes ’em all trigger twice. It’s a GIGANTIC first spin.
- Combo 3: The Interest Cascade 🌊This build makes the Lucky Cat 🐱 go wild. Get Cat Food 🥫 and Fake Coin 🪙 (with a Horseshoe horseshoe!). This gives you tons of spins. More spins = more chances to hit 3+ patterns, which procs the Lucky Cat. With high interest, one proc can be millions of coins. 🏊♂️💰

Part 3: Going Infinite 🚀 – Advanced Builds & Endgame
Okay, you’ve mastered the basics. Now you want to get those E50+ scores. 🤯 This is how you create a build so strong it can beat the game’s exponential debt forever.
The Mid-Game Wall (Deadlines 5-9) 🧱
Your simple Golden Fruit 🍓 build won’t last. The debt gets huge around deadline 5 (12,500) and 6 (33,333). This is “The Great Pivot.”
You need to stop buying just “good” charms and start hunting 🔎 for the specific pieces of an infinite build. This means you gotta spend that capital aggressively on shop rerolls! 💸 You’re in a race to build your endgame engine before your early-game money stream dries up.
Infinite Build 1: The Merchant 🧑💼 (The Safe Bet 💖)
This build is the ultimate expression of control. It makes the slot machine almost pointless. 😅 It’s the safer, more consistent way to go infinite. People have hit E76+ with this!
It’s a three-phase plan:
- Phase 1 (Setup – Deadlines 2-5): Start just like the “Golden Fruit” build, but only go for Shoe 👟 (Cherries) or Wheelbarrow 🛒 (Lemons). Your goal is to farm a stockpile of ~500 Clover Tickets 🎟️.
- Phase 2 (Engine Online – Deadlines 6-10): With your ticket stash, you now hunt for two charms: Cloverpot 🍀 and Cigarettes 🚬. Cloverpot makes your ticket income self-sustaining. Cigarettes is the key: it lets you reroll the shop with tickets. You now have infinite rerolls. ♾️ (You can sell your Shoe/Wheelbarrow now).
- Phase 3 (Execution – Deadline 10+): This is the easy part. With infinite rerolls, just keep spinning the shop until you find Lost Briefcase 💼 charms. Each one gives you 30% of the debt instantly.
- Buy four of them. 💼💼💼💼
- You automatically pay the deadline.
- Repeat forever. Easy peasy. 😎
This build is for players who love to break the system and make luck totally irrelevant.
Infinite Build 2: The True Gambler 🎲 (High-Risk, High-Reward 🔥)
Where the Merchant ignores the slot machine, the True Gambler masters it. This build is all about making so many good things happen that you can’t not win. It’s more explosive and, for many, more fun! 🥳
- Phase 1 (Foundation – Deadlines 1-7): Your only goal is to bank a ton of money 🏦. Hundreds of thousands, even millions. Get that interest rate as high as you can!
- Phase 2 (Core Items – Deadlines 8-12): Now you hunt for the combo pieces:
- Token Generators: Wood 🪵, Bricks 🧱, or especially Naughty Dealer 😈 (Token chance on any symbol).
- Interest Boosters: Stonks 📈 and Grandma’s Purse 👜.
- Round Extenders: Cat Food 🥫 and, most importantly, the Ankh ⚰️. The Ankh gives you two extra rounds if you fail a deadline, which is your safety net.
- Phase 3 (Execution – Deadline 13+): Now you spin like there’s no tomorrow! 🌀 The Ankh gives you extra rounds. Your Token 🏦 procs will give you billions based on your super-high interest. You re-deposit that money, which makes your interest even higher, which makes your next Token proc even bigger! It’s an amazing feedback loop. 🤑
The 5D Chess Move: The Hybrid Build 🧠
The real high-level play? Combine them.
Your main plan should be The Merchant. It’s just more reliable.
But… at the same time, use your four drawers 🗄️ to save the key parts of the True Gambler build as a backup plan.
- Drawer 1: Ankh ⚰️
- Drawer 2: Lucky Cat 🐱
- Drawer 3: Naughty Dealer 😈 (or another Token charm)
- Drawer 4: Stonks 📈
This is your safety net. If you get really unlucky and just can’t find your Lost Briefcases 💼 before the deadline, you’re not doomed. You can pull out your “Gambler Package” from the drawers and spin your way to victory! 😱➡️😄
A final note: these infinite builds are for high scores. You don’t need all this just to beat the game and see the endings. A good, normal build can get you there. These are for when you want to truly break the machine. 💥
Part 4: How to ACTUALLY Escape 🗝️ – Secrets & Endings
Beyond just getting high scores, there’s a story and a way to win. This part explains how to get the endings, spoiler-free. We’re focused on the how, not the what.
The Standard Escape (The Skeleton Key 💀)
This is the first ending you’ll probably get. You have to build a full skeleton.
Mechanical Steps:
- Unlock the Four Drawers 🗄️: You unlock one drawer per run by hitting a certain (golden) money goal. A key will appear by the ATM. This takes a few runs.
- Create the Corpse Pieces 🦴: Once all 4 drawers are unlocked, buy any four charms and put one in each drawer. Then, fail or restart your run. When you start the next run, those charms will have turned into four “corpse pieces.”
- Equip the Body: Open the drawers and equip all four pieces. (They don’t take up charm slots 👍).
- Acquire the Skull 💀: The last piece, the Skull, is sold in the charm shop for 4 tickets. If you don’t see it, you gotta survive and keep rerolling ’til it shows up.
- Meet the Score Requirement 💰: Once you have all 5 pieces, a lockbox 📦 with a skeleton key will appear. You’ll see a score requirement (like 250,000 coins). You just have to meet that deadline’s debt while having that much banked.
- Escape! 🎉: Grab the key, unlock the door, and you’re out!
The True Ending (The Spooky One 🤫)
This one is more complex. You have to mess with the 666 mechanic.
Mechanical Steps:
- Assemble the Skeleton 💀: Follow steps 1-4 from the Standard Escape. You need the full body.
- Manage the Phone Calls ☎️: This is the key. Between rounds, the phone will ring. Sometimes, you’ll see a dialogue option in red text.
- You must IGNORE the red text. Always pick the other option.
- Force the Third Call: You’ll usually only get two red-text calls naturally. To force the third one, you must trigger a 666 😈 pattern on the slots. This guarantees the next call will be a red-text one.
- Trigger the 666 Reliably: The best way is to use a Memory Card. The Heartbreak 💔 card guarantees a 666 in the final round of every deadline (after the 3rd).
- Complete the Eighth Deadline: You need to successfully ignore three red-text calls and then beat deadline 8 with all 5 skeleton parts equipped.
- The Final Quota: At the start of deadline 9, the phone will turn white 🤍. You’ll have one last, huge debt to pay. Beat it, and the White Skull Key will appear. Escape again… but this time, it’s… different. 🤔
Memory Cards Explained: Challenge Runs! 🏃♂️💨
After you’ve played a while, you’ll unlock Memory Cards 💾. These are special modifiers (like Ascensions in Slay the Spire or Covenants in Monster Train) that change the rules. They make the game harder but also add new challenges! 🧐
Table 3: Memory Card Quick Reference
Card Name | Positive Effect | Negative Effect | Recommended Strategy |
Heartbreak 💔 | Guaranteed 666 (needed for True Ending) | A 666 is guaranteed, which can kill your run. | The Pre-emptive Strike: This is for True Ending runs. Build an engine strong enough to meet the deadline before the final round. End the deadline early, and you never have to deal with the 666! |
Recovery Attempt 🚑 | Doubles 666 rate (good for True Ending) | Doubles 666 rate (risky!) | Controlled Chaos: A less intense version of Heartbreak. Use this when you need a 666 but want more control. Make sure you have a big money buffer to absorb the hit. |
Delusions of Grandeur 😵💫 | ??? | Doubles the final debt requirement. 😱 | Infinite Or Nothing: This is HARD mode. Don’t even try this unless you are 100% confident you can build an infinite build (like The Merchant). It will crush normal strategies. |
Old Wounds 🩹 | ??? | ??? | Data is limited. Be careful with this one, it’s a big modifier! |
The Long Game: Getting Stronger Over Time 💪
CloverPit is a rogue-lite. Even if you fail, you’re making progress. You unlock stuff permanently! 💖
- Charm Unlocks 🔓: Most of the 150+ charms are locked at the start. You unlock them by doing achievements (check the computer! 💻). This encourages you to try new things!
- Drawer Unlocks 🗄️: You unlock these over multiple runs, as mentioned before.
- Memory Card Unlocks 💾: You get these after you make good progress, probably after your first escape.
- Seeded Runs 🌱: You can type in a specific code to get the exact same run (same shops, same calls) as a friend. This is great for practice or for competing! 🏆
A failed run is never a waste. You’re always working toward unlocking something new that will help you next time.
Part 5: What Does It All Mean? 🤔 (Themes & Final Thoughts)
Under all the math and strategy, CloverPit has a dark, cool theme. It’s more than just a game; it’s a “sinister tale of addiction and escape.”
More Than a Game: What’s CloverPit Really About? 🤫
The devs wove the story right into the gameplay. It’s smart!
- Capitalism 💼: The game is a big metaphor for being trapped in a system you can’t escape. You’re in a cycle of “never-ending debt” 🧾. Fail to pay? You’re literally dropped into an abyss 🕳️. Sound familiar? 😅 The only way to win is to use the system’s own logic (exponential interest 📈) to beat it, which is a pretty cool fantasy.
- Addiction 🎰: The game feels like a real slot machine. Those sounds 🔔, the jingles 🎶… it’s all designed to give you that “one more spin” feeling. The game knows it’s “incredibly addicting” and kinda winks at you about it. It’s using the tools of a trap to tell a story about escaping a trap. A little spooky! 😳
- Escape 🚪: Is escape even possible? You get out… and you’re back at the main menu, ready for another run. The “standard” ending requires you to build a corpse 💀… kinda dark, right? It suggests the prison is a cycle 🌀, maybe one that’s in your own head.
Conclusion: Having Fun in the Pit 🥳
Yeah, the world is bleak, but the game is a blast! 🤩
The fun isn’t in hoping for luck; it’s in making your own luck. It’s a puzzle game in disguise. The fun is in figuring out the hidden systems, like the Luck schedule or the debt formula.
The true joy of CloverPit comes from that ‘Aha!’ 💡 moment when you go from being a victim of the machine to its master. It’s the thrill of planning a perfect jackpot, building an engine that makes infinite money ♾️, and turning the scariest thing in the game (the 666 😈) into just another tool.
This guide is your map 🗺️. It gives you the layout and the tools. Now go build your own awesome combos, experiment, break the machine, and find your own way to win.
Good luck! 🍀
