How to beat your high score in Handbrake Valet

Handbrake Valet is a highly addictive game that involves using your car's handbrake to park it in the most flamboyant way possible.

As you’d expect, accidents are bound to happen sooner or later, so we’re here to provide you with some tips to help you rack up some seriously high scores.

Learn the timing

When you first start the game you'll need some time to figure out when to use the handbrake, so don’t get too worried if you find yourself struggling at first.

As a rough guide for the slowest speed the game starts at, you should tap right before you reach the car closest to the parking spot.

Pay attention to your speed

You’ll soon realise that the game frequently alters the speed of your cars with each one you successfully park.

As a result, you'll need to learn to make subtle adjustments to your timing in order to compensate for this. For example, if your car is travelling faster than before, you’ll need to pull the handbrake slightly earlier.

Pause the game

If the game’s speed changes succeeds in breaking your mental rhythm, just pause. This can come in really handy if you need a couple of moments to regain your focus.

However, don’t just pause the game anywhere, as you need to give yourself enough time to react to the new speed.

Learn from your mistakes

The most important piece of advice we can give you is to learn from your mistakes.

For example, if you notice that a large majority of your crashes are caused by tapping the screen too late, you need to force yourself to tap earlier than usual.

It may feel uncomfortable at first, but it will certainly improve your performance in the long run.
