Dodge Granny Guide: How a round works
About
OverviewDodge Granny is a chaotic multiplayer game where one player takes on the role of Granny and tries to slap everyone else out with a flip flop, while the rest scramble to be the last one standing. This guide covers how both roles work, how to survive as a runner, and how to rack up eliminations as Granny.

How a round works
SummaryAt the start of each round, one player is chosen as Granny. Everyone else becomes a runner. Granny wins by slapping all other players out with her flip flop. Runners win by staying alive until they are the last one left.
- Granny uses her flip flop to slap runners and knock them out of the round
- Runner avoids Granny's attacks and tries to outlast every other player

Staying alive as a runner
TipsGranny's flip flop has a limited reach, so distance is your best friend. Running in a straight line is the easiest pattern for Granny to read, so mix it up constantly.
- Use obstacles as shields — furniture, walls, and pillars all help you break Granny's line of attack
- Blend into a crowd — when many runners are bunched together, Granny cannot hit all of them at once
- Stay away from the edges of the stage — getting cornered there leaves you with nowhere to go
Playing as Granny
TipsGranny has the advantage of being the aggressor, but trying to hit a large group all at once rarely works. Focus on isolating one runner at a time and work from the edges of any cluster inward.
- Read where a runner is heading and move to cut them off rather than running directly behind them
- When a group is bunched together, target the player on the outermost edge first
- Herd runners toward the corners or walls of the stage so they have fewer escape options
- Avoid sprinting into the middle of a crowd — pick your target and approach from an angle

Common questions
FAQWhat do I do if I'm not picked as Granny?
You play as a runner and focus on surviving as long as possible.
I keep getting hit right away. What am I doing wrong?
Running in a straight line is the most common mistake — it lets Granny predict exactly where you will be. Mix in direction changes, use obstacles to break her line of attack, and try to stay near other runners so you are not an easy solo target.
Is this game good with a large group of friends?
Yes, the game is built for chaotic multiplayer sessions with lots of players.
