This is one of my favorite events, and I am enjoying the festive additions to each scene, while leaving enough familiar items to make it a little easier!

 

An XXL sweet chestnut and a Norfolk pine. Best event I've played. Thanx BP

 

This is definitely the best event You have ever created! Loads of fun and things to do here. Can we have some more in future please ?

 

I too have thoroughly enjoyed this event. It seemed to flow better than the previous hidden objects events. With one harvest, we could have several attempts without getting bored.
I particularly like this mini-game and the prizes both for the games and points are very attractive!
Needless to say, as always, the graphics are superb.

 

Sorry, not a fan of this game. Too many items I have no idea what I am even looking for. Ushanka hat, never heard of it. Maka pot? Again never heard of it. I played the 5 free games and each took over 3 minutes to find the items so I never did anything for this event.

 

If you want the Game Strategy Discussion thread for this event shows where the items are for the garage, farm yard and kitchen on page 1 of the forum posts; then it lists the bedroom and island on page 2 and the dinner and bakery are listed on page 3.

For your info the Ushanka hat is next to the Santa coat and the Moka Pot is on the shelf between Poinsettia and Lemon juicer.

 

I'm getting better at this game, but no amount of coaching or studying the pictures is going to make me good at it.

Well worth doing as hard to figure one field would get 50 million in cc. That alone tips the balance and makes it worthwhile.

Not a complaint but a concern: The Suzy's look so tempting and I'm sure for those good goal. No matter how much I farm these are out of my reach because the game is something I can't master. I don't begrudge other farmers this goal, but it would be nice to see the trees available to those of us who don't have the option of getting them through this mini game.

I could pay outright to win the event, but then the little tree would just be staring at me, and I would need a little pride of ownership that working for something gains. Plus of course it would be overpriced.

 

I too am loving this event. I won't be able to finish the right side, but if I can get to the 115 games I could get as high as level 95 on the right, which would be just fantastic. Thanks for these incredible rewards (at least they seem incredible to me - GBs have never been so easy to come by!)

 

BP should change the name of the event to The Great Winter Rip off. I am level 220, I've put some serious time in on this event, even got up in the night to farm. I've used masses of super grow and SSG I've only just completed level 100 on the right.
Far to many items to find, even using all the pictures posted by others.
Yes I've got some good prizes, but I'm bitterly disappointed that the hellhounds might as well be on the moon as I've no chance of getting them.
Where's your Christmas spirit BP
Yet again your greed shines through.

 

Might just be me, but I've found that the items are not very good at detecting where I'm clicking. In the sense that I often click on the item and it just doesn't register - I need to move the mouse to a very specific point on the item. Makes it difficult in the timed games!

 

That happened to me too

 

Me three! Very annoying and has cost me points.

 

Yes I have had the same thing happen too me! The 2 that come to mind are "Wind chimes" in the festive dinner room and "the festive
garland" in the bakery to name a few there have been others too! When you need points and you are wasting time clicking 2 or more times before it works is NOT fun!

 

Happened to me as well! The garland in the kitchen is the worst!!!!

 

Yep that kitchen garland took five clicks today.

 

Me Too I had expected I could get to the 2 black tailor workshops by today. Not going to happen.
Very disappointed. Still having slow responses on manual clicks also on the farms. Even the click to post this reply

 

The oil can was also really hard for me to collect, as was the cane.

 

I agree almost all of those thing said above by my fellow players. The mini game should have been more easier.

The negative side.

1. The number of items to find should not have been 60. It should have been between 20 to 30.
2. The time limit for each mini game should have been less than a minute (with the number of items being reduced drastically) because to finish the right side tasks atleast you need to do more than 200 mini games. 1 1/2 mins for each mini game is very high amount of requirement of our time to be spent in the game.
3. In some scenes the items to be clicked were very thin or small, you have to click several times to finish clicking it.
4. In scenes like the garage, most of the items very tiny and took several clicks to make them vanish. It would have been difficult especially for people with eyesight problem and elder players.
5. Instead of being a pleasure, playing the mini game was a burden on us.
6. I have severe shoulder pain playing this mini game.

So next time drastically reduce the number of items to found.


On the positive side, the rewards on the right very attractive and useful. But the energy we spend to get it was out of proportionate.

 

I am a bit different from others, I absolutely hate mini games, the main reason is due to the time frame it takes to do them, to do the minimum amount of games to finish this to get all rewards was over 5 hours, that would of been with perfect scores using the find the 60 items. This is way too much time. So due to the time frame, I switched to the find 10, and decided to play more games, this as others have stated, was also bad, about 3 items or so on each game was very hard to click, and this caused me not to get the top score of 105 points per game down to 95 per game. I did finish, but will not attempt this type of event again, I will pay closer attention to the FAQ for time requirements. I also agree the time frame for a mini game should be way under a minute, especially when you have to complete over 200 of them. I would rather mill, or grow and throw as others have called it.

On the positive side, I want to thank you for giving us some nice prizes, those have been pretty bad lately, and seems like everything revolves around EP lately, it takes forever to advance in the higher levels, that I dont care about EP at all anymore. Most of the ones that gave EP in this one, was at least high enough it did make a difference.
