Need for Seeds (Jan. 2021)

The Need for Seeds event has started and you know what that means, right? Yep, the new complaint department is now open. (Good luck to my fellow addicts.)

Huzzah, I get to sit for hours on end waiting for the traffic to clear!!! 

What is the incentive for playing this event?  I’m sensing that they’ve ratcheted up the difficulty significantly.  It’s not starting easy and then getting harder.  The number of multi lanes crossings and amount of traffic is very high from the get go.

And then the rewards are based on spinning?!?!

What are they thinking?  I’m not going through the game so I can score a can of paint or some other random thing I don’t need.  If there was a progression towards something I wanted, I might play thru the sheer boredom, but not if I have no clue what I might get.  I highly doubt I’ll get even a single deco.

@Nerico
Honestly, you ask what the objective of this event is (even the spins of the wheel are not random). In the last time my doubt is more existential... what is the objective of TS? I think one of the answers is obvious... to make us spend money!
As has been said tirelessly in this forum, Playrix knows us better than we know ourselves (Mic's quote, if I'm not wrong).
And as we always say, we complain, we get angry, we rant but... we keep on playing.

We have Teddy at T&BLoT to thank for this piece of intel. (Thanks, dude!)

"Lucky towns are here again!
How it works:
1. Visit one of the lucky towns below
2. Go back to your town and play need for seeds
3. Visit lucky town again
4. Go back and play need for seeds
You have to visit the lucky towns before you play need for seeds each time, but by doing this, you can get easier game with free reward chest!"

Oh, yes! It works perfect! Always the same road, all the trucks come through together, one chest each time. It adds up to 190 points for me.

Thanks @Mic Miller

Thanks so much for this info!! I have heard about "magic towns" several times before but have never been able to find one. It is so helpful. Much appreciated!!

My right hand thanks you, @Aliwags. (The left hand says "whatever.")

Unfortunately, it stopped working for me

Here is another Lucky Town for those who do not mind typing #SNHMNF in your Co-op Search text field.

Still works for me, @Maseera. (Try the one above.)

Thanks for the new town @Mic Miller. My town from yesterday quit working overnight. And typing in the search code is a very small inconvenience. Well worth the hours it saves me from sitting at intersections!

Wow, thank you for the tip and town code @Mic Miller! Worked for me too  Makes this dull gaming more fun!

Try restarting the app to restore the Lucky Town(s). (That's what I've been reading on FB.)

So... interesting... the second time I visited the lucky town the first few roads were single lanes and easy to pass. BUT, there was no chest and the last road was three lanes and so tightly spaced and fast moving I couldn't have made even one car through! I had to use a stop light. Total perfect score was only 72 this time instead of 190.


ETA (still using the snowflake co-cop):
On 3rd time... 194 points + a chest! YAY!
On 4th time... just a regular run, nothing special, no prizes.
