Someone is having a huge laugh at our expense! There are going to be so many very disappointed players   when we don’t finish the room. It has to be achievable, not nearly impossible!

Exactly. I realized it is less about having the room for me as it is working hard and achieving something that was a challenge. So if I don't get them room, fine, whatever. I don't go back and visit them. But feeling like I can't get to the final reward through mental strength and perseverance ruins the game for me.

@just_a_minute, clear the yellow, then the lower green (if you are lucky, both green yield horizontal rocket. Set 1 off. Then balloons will be generated. If it doesn't, create a bomb next to the vertical rocket and set then off. Then do fireworks +rocket. (Hopefully can generate more balloons). Placement OF fireworks can make or break the game. (lower left or right, my preference)

Option 2 : clear the lower green then center green.

I can't make up my mind whether or not I have to clear the yellow unless I actually played and try for a day.

**make sure enough balloons us generated. Last few balloons can be cleared by broom (vertical) or hat (horizontal) or wand (cleared the tap and surrounding).

Which level is this?? I think I cleared something similar.

@Calliie !!!!!! You are the BEST! I did it! The secret really was the fireworks+rocket for this one, not a board clear. It took me 4 more tries, but then this was the pattern: Get the green firework first. If you are lucky you get a rocket right next to it. Set those off to set off all 12 green giving you both the light and the balloons. Repeat with fireworks + rockets until clear. On my 4th attempt I had one move left and still needed 3 balloons so I just used the wand. I wanted to be done with it. Anyway, thank you my brilliant friend. 

The only downside is now I guess I will keep playing. The madness continues

Has anyone seen the "witch odds and ends" for less than 110 tickets?

Pleaseeee, someone to help me with this level... it’s impossible for me... I pay cash

I suggest choosing a firework as your power up in the beginning ..then stack another with it to blow the whole board.

@Rainglaze Ohhhh! Ahhhh! I want to cry until tomorrow. I spent all my fireworks, if I want more I have to buy them .. I refuse to continue spending T cash ... I want to die ... it's very frustrating ...

I agree, chorilandia. Its beyond frustrating. I went thru 280 tcash today. I cant spend more. The game is encouraging me to spend. It seemed like I wasn't running out of lives so I could do puzzles all I wanted...and each level, I would have just one more move left to beat the level so I would plop down 10 tcash to finish. This seemed to happen over and over. I feel scammed...and at the same time mad at myself for falling for all the BS.

I thought this was a fun game? Don't people play apps that are this game and aren't they super popular? I've only played 1 game with this matching feature and it was a secondary part of the game (but I quit playing that game when it became too big a part of the progress). 

If this is a game people actually spend their time playing for enjoyment...I don't understand people. 

This game is less enjoyable than doing numeric data entry for 8 hours. Utter torture! Each day I use up my 5 tickets...and when I'm done I'm so pissed I don't open my game until the next day.

Edit to add: ...and my prices for items never went up like everyone else's...but of course that doesn't mean anything when I can't pass a level. Hilarious! I'd be happy to give my "perk" to someone else, if it were transferable.

@Chorilandia, another alternative is rocket +bomb on left quadrant, then rocket + bomb Middle region and then right quadrant rocket + bomb. Usually after 2 sets of rocket + bomb u might be able to create fireworks + rockets.

@Chorilandia, otra alternativa es cohete + bomba en cuadrante izquierdo, luego cohete + bomba Región media y luego cuadrante derecho cohete + bomba. Por lo general, después de 2 juegos de cohetes + bombas, es posible que puedas crear fuegos artificiales + cohetes.

@CalliieThanks, Callie .. but you can imagine how this ended, right? I PAID, SAID I WASN'T GOING TO DO IT, BUT I SPENT TCASH..
Bad, too bad..

I complain to support about Hammer event. I complain about very difficult puzzles and of course about double points which wasn`t any help at all. I made my opinion that the way they handle event is almost insulting for   as players.
I wait 3 days for an answer and here it is, sign by developer I suppose (if the didn`t start to give human names to automatic answers):

Shall we laugh or cry?

I have 318 tickets saved up.  Sadly I think that is two deco for my room.  I am at 29 of 48.  So sad.  The other rooms were completed with time to spare but were not super super easy.  How about some middle ground??  Sheeesh

This is what I received

I'm struggling on this one. It's a "HARD" around level 100. I've also got 29/48 items but at this rate I can only add maybe 1 more per day. I wish I could know the percentage of players that finished the room and how much they had to spend to do it.I've tried boosters and now I'm all out  Any suggestions?

I also complained about this Hammer Event and got exactly the same response as above.
Sadly, I need 12 more items to finish the room and I know it’s not doable in 4 days. I might be able to solve 12 more puzzles.lol
 At level 108 the puzzles are quite challenging and I refuse to spend any more tcash on this event
as much as I would love to have this room completed. The little ghost is so cute.🤩
So far, I was able to finish all the events but none before felt so unfair for players like this one

I found only this on the Becky & Teddy site. It is not much help, but I'm at that level from this morning ...we can cry together ...

I have entered and excited a zillion times. I have even started with a rocket of blue by luck, still can't finish it. 

I'll take the option to cry together. Misery loves company!

@Chorilandia I finally passed it. Without any boosters. I wish I could remember the exact steps but I know it was a combination of two fireworks that I let sit at the bottom until I had shot off a bunch of single rockets across the middle to fill with as many balloons as I could get, then clear the whole board, then I only had a few left and it was the old school tap until you are done. Made it on my last move with none to spare. I think the luck I got was that I could make several single rockets in just the right place to hit both cannons. I've never been that lucky before.

ETA: This was between levels 94 and 95
