Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get extra lives in Frogger? You typically earn extra lives by reaching certain score milestones or by successfully guiding multiple frogs to their homes. Some versions award bonus lives every 10,000 or 20,000 points.

What happens when all my frogs die? When you lose your last frog, the game ends and you can choose to start over from the beginning. Your final score is recorded and compared against previous attempts or high scores on the machine.

Why does my frog sometimes die in the water even when it looks safe? If your frog falls into the water between moving platforms or stays on a turtle that submerges, it will drown. Always ensure you're on stable platforms and watch for turtles that dive without warning.
