Rev and Ride Event 8th October 2020

First topic message reminder :

Update From Becky & Teddy on FB:

What we also believe is it will have the automatic refresh for fuel or tickets to play the game, up to 25 max and we can store extra is we win them from house of luck or daily balloons.

You can delay but don’t delay too long to ensure you have enough time to finish your personal rewards at least, since the game seems hard...

Good luck everyone! We will post the competition rewards and event products tomorrow when the event starts!


Brand New Event! Rev & Ride starting Thursday 8th October

Very interesting about the agriculture event... I wouldn't have that kind of restraint! 

Could you really just not click the competition button and stay out? I still think 7,000 is really high for day 4 and few would achieve that many stars without constant effort / tcash so even the late entry is questionable. The fact that they plopped it down and then didn't budge mirrors the cheater in my group. Started the group out with 70,000 stars then nothing for 2 days, then 160,000. They also miraculously jumped 50 levels in the game since starting which is impossible. I turned them in, but they are still in my group. What really stinks is I am in 4th place by a huge margin which means their cheating costs me 3rd place

@just_a_minute, reddit thread here. Reddit thread on not clicking the game button

So sorry for your situation , hope support will sort it out before the event finished. But I really doubt so. Still fingers crossed for you. Support will eventually ban cheaters.

Ugh! Sorry for your situation, @just_a_minute. Your situation sounds like you have a cheater in the group. I reported my situation. Support replied same day and thanked me for my info...but said there was nothing suspicious going on. This leads me to believe player in first was alone for 3 days. When i joined yesterday, at first there were a total of 7 of us....after 2 hours, the group filled up. This sucks for those of us joining late. I still think there should be a 1 hour limit on forming groups in events. If there arent 30, close the group after an hour.

Thanks for the link, callie.

I am still over a 1000 points short of 4th prize. Guess there will be no decoration for me

I don't understand how players with scores that just don't add up are not removed from Playrix. Even people who spend a lot of money couldn't buy some of the scores I have seen in this event. Unless I am missing something?

How to improve one's score:
1. Have game on an iPhone /ipad running ios14.01.
2. Use a stylus.
3. Have no screen protector.
4. Play with your left hand.

On a 5x bonus game. I think max score can hit 200 - 250 maybe?

My highest was 154 and I skipped stars, chests, multipliers etc.
And
1. I played on Android,
2. I am right handed,
3. I used my finger not stylus.
4. I have a screen protector that affect sensitivity of phone. (I need to change it to an all glue type)
And crashing 3 games out of 5 is ideal for me as my phone does not get too heated up. And most of my score are 40 plus.

Wow, a stylist is a great suggestion. I had never considered that before!

My max is 133 so far. But let's be honest the average is way lower crashing 2-3 out of 5 times.

Wow and I'm happy if i can keep 39? . . . 

Seriously. I think my highest single run score was 54, but usually it’s closer to 30 if I even finish the run. I seem to go in streaks. Sometimes I will finish 4 out of 5, other times I’ll crash 4 out of 5. I’ve noticed sometimes the runs seem to go a lot faster, then next time I play, it will switch back to a slower speed. Those are the ones I can usually finish if I follow the no extra moves rule and resist chasing multipliers, magnets, or star bundles.

My max was 113.



But most completed runs are about 30/ 35.

And quite a lot of more runs are... not completed. 

But it's better since I have reached the final goal. Seems I play more relaxed now. 

My score is a mixture of 40 and 50 pts. And I seems to feel that some runs are longer than others. Am I overreacting? Those super fast runs tend to be longer and they contain 2 x double up or double down rails. On these longer runs I can hit 50 plus points if I cleared. I have also completed the 5 goals. I think on the global board, 50, 000 points are possible.

I asked my OH to have a go of Rev & Ride. To try and get me the 4th reward. He did well, got me over 600 pts. However when I took my game back I noticed 65 Tcash missing! Lol

He didn't realise he had been spending money to continue & felt bad about it, but I couldn't help but laugh. Now I know how people feel when they have let their kids have a little play in their towns   

Oh and no, it doesn't look like I will get 4th prize

Oh Downton I'm feeling with you. 65 TC, shock!

Good to read you take this with a good sense of humour.

Finally got the rollercoaster fountain mountain and cute avatar with 13.5 hours to spare.

I enjoyed the actual gameplay, despite being awful at it, but the length of time needed to attain personal goals is ridiculous. Most events take me about a day.

Oh @Downton Falls, bet you were gutted. If I’d asked my OH, I’d have had nowt left I reckon! Pleased to hear you’re taking it in good part & not making a bee line for any of their games.

I got the final reward and deco! Woohoo! I won't be sad to see this event end, but I sure am glad to have that gorgeous new deco. Made a spot for it right away.

I have to admit I considered clearing out a huge area and putting nothing but the waterfall ride and my town sign there so I could show off my hard work 

Well, I actually like the rollercoaster. I only concentrated on finishing and nothing else. I crashed about one out five tries, but normally didn‘t pay to continue. My best score was 97, but usually I could get between 25 and 45. 
On my ipad the game ran smooth, so it was just me succeeding or failing, quite a challenge, but much better imo than the endless waits to steer x trucks to the market.

And I came in third of my group 

Well I finished the event with about two hours to spare before going to bed last night. Whew! Managed to "win" the deco after spending 35TC (my limit and only spent if the final platform was in sight). So overall satisfied but it was a long stressful week trying to get it done.

I got decent at it by the end. And could see getting better next time around. But they were so selfish with the stars! A good run for me was 50-60 stars. Most runs for me gained 30-40 stars. What a slog!

I managed to finish and get the dec too - so pleased it's the nicest one we've had for a while. I think if we get Rev and Ride again I'll just 'lose' my Kindle for a few days and pretend it's not happening!
