I missed the end of the event. Again. Just put a timer somewhere ON the page, it shouldn't be that hard!

Nice having a fun Divine for the final prize! Thank you. I always enjoy the maze event, but usually don't push to finish since the prize at the end isn't interesting to me. Not this time. I wanted Moriarty. Finished in time and was able to do the first maze part way through. I did use passes for treats, but not that many (didn't keep track).
I do agree with others that there needs to be a countdown timer on these events for all of us who live in different time zones. I've missed out on finishing past events due to time confusion.

Since I am in a different time zone this event ends for me a day ahead of when it is is scheduled to end. I always forget how much time I have. Here to os still early on the eighth. I liked the prizes, but would've tried for more.

Mazes are my favorite events! I just wish we had one or 2 more days!

Somehow I got stuck on the game and could never enter the third maze.

I do wish we had a day or two more! I (somehow) only made about two directional errors, but I still had to buy a fill for the meter on the last day to finish the event. That was despite using all of my normally gained ones, and getting all of the sweets.

I did enjoy the event, the art was pretty, I think the prizes were great, and it was altogether reasonably fair, but I wish it was easier to complete for non-paying players.

default smiley :d I also wish the event was longer. Even though I get turned around an go the wrong way, I love it ! default smiley (l) I could play it all the time. When it gets to the end it's great to receive 6 but could the price go down too ! The gifts were awesome. I love all of them. Thank You so much. Merry Christmas !

I don't usually take part in this discussion page BUT, if the only reason the maze was made smaller was for the players to see the background and rate it higher then it needs to be done another way.

I have old eyes and found it difficult to see the maze even when you clicked on it to 'enlarge' it.

I didn't think the prizes were that great but free is free. It would have been better if the yellow present had some higher rated gifts than what they did and i might have made detours to collect them. Detours may mean that more players have to buy treats to finish the mazes.

The gold prizes included a Hera's Pack, a Kairos' Dial and a Hera's Lily. The silver prizes barely had anything Is want, and and the bronze prizes had trash. If I'm going out of my way for prizes, the values should be better balanced.

I got nowhere near the end, but since the final prize was just a Hestia's gift, I don't really care.

Lackluster event, but I did get some nice things, so I'm happy.

regeneration's sometime didn't happen at all , just didn't have heart spending saved up passes when it seemed I was going backwards. I do like mazes tho , they are fun

Maze event is always fun. Easy to progress, good prizes, though you have to skip some gold prizes along the way to make sure you get to the end.

Pro tip (though I agree with you):

Usually the events have some sort of sale the last few days. If you click on the purchase/plus button for whatever is on sale, there will be a timer saying something like "For the next 2 days and 7 hours, get 3x widgets for 99 passes!"

The final maze prize was a Hestia's Gift, but you also won the divine Professor Moriarty if you completed that final maze, which could be done for free (assuming you didn't let your meter fill and didn't go out of the way more than a handful of paces).

The one thing I think needs to be sorted out was the 20 - 25 minute wait for the next move to appear after the 2 hours was up. I do find it hard to get excited about these events because I've been playing a long time and have at least one of most BMIs but it is useful for newer players to stock up on some things. I'd still like a bit more time between Events - they don't feel special any more.

I found myself really frustrated with this event, because it feels like the whole thing sucked; the prizes didn't seem to be all that great(though this is coming from a player with a veritable hoard of items that I don't use so adding to them doesn't appeal to me), the paces took forever to actually show up so I could use them making the whole thing tedious to deal with, and worst of all the paces were a known issue that the devs seemingly chose to ignore.

I was maybe a dozen or so paces from finishing because I was dealing with that stupid bug, and I never got turned around or let my metre fill up all of the way even once. Sure, I don't particularly care for the Moriarty divine, but the Hestia's item would have been something I might have appreciated more than the rest of the things I bypassed in an effort to get every maze finished.

Finished the event, but had to use a bunch of Passes.
Tried to play the Mazes game on new-type mobile, and that was a real mistake.
I'd go left, and my arrow would go right.
I'd go right, and my arrow would go left.
I ended up going around and around and around in circles, and obviously ran out of turns.
Howrse realized I was having an issue and gave me x3 turns, but...
I'm not even sure how this ended up being so terribly wrong?
When I played the Mazes game on the old-type mobile, there was zero issue at all.
I'd go left, and my arrow would go left.
I'd go right, and my arrow would go right.

Definitely an issue with the difference between how the game is played on mobile between the new version and the old version.

i could go into a long rant explaining what was done wrong but i'm tired of explaining the obvious to an admin that don't care so i'll settle for "glad it's over, what event will you try to ruin next?"

While managable, it was very boring, the paces lagged like no tomorrow, and don't EVER try to play a maze event on mobile - you will get ripped off as you cannot see properly what it happening when you tap a direction... it is WORTHLESS!!! on mobile
Prizes.. okay-ish, nice to see a Divine as top gift again. and not jjust rubbish fragmenst!

I hate the maze events. It is impossible to play on an iPad and even on the iMac you have to hover over each move to make sure you don't go the wrong way. Not to mention how long it takes to get to make a move. It's just frustrating and boring to the max.

The prizes were good and I liked the event overall, but it was quite boring. Maybe if there was an objective every 12 hours or something to earn an extra move?
Plus the lag on move regeneration was quite annoying - what's the point of having a countdown timer if it's not accurate?

On the other hand, having a useful Divine as the main prize was a positive change! Really liked that part default smiley (y)

One of the more boring events

The arrows annoy me they never go where they point

It makes players go the wrong way by accident since the maze has lag a lot of the times to show you where the arrow goes

You dont complete it even if you do all the moves you need to waste passes

The maps are too large and too many empty spaces you have to travel through making it super boring and very long to complete making you loose interest

I didnt bother going for the bronze gifts....... and the silver weren't exactly any good either... The gold didnt get to collect many but nothing exciting

I agree with some, getting daily objectives to earn some extra sweets to be able to get a few extra steps


In the end i didnt bother making effort and i just wanted this event to be over default smiley (n)

I wouldn't miss this event

Also for future events can we please get a SKIP button for the game intro so we can go straight to playing the event... All the events are repeated never any new ones so its annoying having to click through the intro of every event
