Delight Games Walkthrough - Oregon Trail 1

Hi! I've noticed that there are a few walkthroughs for CYOA stories of Delight Games. I think this may help someone who has little patience in starting the games over and over just to survive to the end of the book or to earn highest rank.

I am not associated with Delight Games or to any of the authors or its developers. I do not own the game, just my phone, free time, and a lot of patience.

Oregon Trail Chapter 1 – 100 Down, 2,000 To Go

At the end of the game, your Moxie score is multiplied by 20 and your Morale score multiplied by 30. You need 300+ to reach the highest rank (Pioneering legend!) There are many ways to achieve the highest rank. You can choose to prioritize Moxie points or Morale points as long as you reach the required score. I encourage you to explore the options as there are a lot of achievements and tidbits in the game, plus it’s more fun to read.

Starting stats – Morale: 3             Moxie:0

Be careful not to let your morale score reach zero – you will catch dysentery and die.
