Am I going crazy or are the event run-times getting shorter and shorter? It felt like it barely got started, and then it was over.

This was half-event paired with the one before it. It's the same divine fragments you are collecting for the same time, but two events happening during this time, each one half-time to a regular event. It's happened several times already on Howrse, you should be familiar with it.

Gameplay-wise I do like the memory event. I didn't manage to get the last board done but I don't care much for the eggs, so I finished with a Crown which I'm satisfied with. The difficulty for the event didn't seem adjusted for the shortened event duration though.

It actually was. I finished it with one life left, and I didn't buy anything - neither extra lives, nor extra jokers.

I still had a few boards to go, but this time I didn't write down what was behind each door and my memory is not the best! I like this event, it was generous with lives when 'catching up', it would have been nice for an extra day or two but I got the Harmony pack which is useful to me.

Finished the final board yesterday, easy to progress and good prices however I don't use the eggs and I can't exchange them so they are useless.

Didn't even try for eggs as I have enough...

5 days was really not long enough to be able to finish this without paying passes. Luckily though, the grand prize was subpar and useless for most, like a lot of recent events. I wasn't able to finish the crown board because the days weren't enough to get enough lives, and I wasn't about to pay almost more passes than the crown is even worth to get it. I appreciate the harmony pack, bonus pack, and a few other prizes. Can't complain about getting those for free.

sill cant skip the tutorial is my only complaint at this time.

I liked the event.

Liked the memory BUT just 3 lifes for 90 passes?!
This was pay-to-win in my opinion

This is one of my favorite events. I always enjoy it... however, receiving fragments as a prize for completing a grid is not ideal. (Well, they are always annoying to me! Of course I realize that's not the case with everyone). Maybe offer a choice between fragments and something else?

I like the memory game but it was too short this time.

I detest the memory events! They take up way too much time and the rewards are not good. I have more of those worthless eggs than I'll ever use even with the daily objectives demanding that I breed more horses that I really don't want. There are too many horses on the game already that are in safe haven or just neglected and never worked by all the players who don't play anymore but have not been removed from the game because Howrse doesn't want their numbers to shrink. Sad! The game is really going downhill and the devs don't even care. Which is even sadder.

Why write them down when you can use your phone to take a picture or snag it to capture the tiles?

Put them on a zonkey and they will sell well and for passes

I like the memory event, specially more than the delete blocks one (not sure the name but god i had so bad rng). I feel it so short, and if you aren't lucky to match things by chance i feel the lifes are not enough
I guess the rewards aren't bad, specially for me who is starting again so everything is appreciate, But i'd ´prefer other kinds of rewards... I hate specially the eggs since i never liked breed those, I'm a collector not a breeder give me more customization items(?)

This is one of my favorite games. I do wish that Hestia's Gift was one of the prizes on some of these games.

1. I feel like we *just* did this one so negative there. Get some new games in here. We've had the same few for the last two years and it's boring
2. I can't stand these half events. the only one it works for is the Great Challenge and Lottery AND ONLY because the challenge feeds into the lottery
3. This is a criticism across the board: the final prizes *suck* It used to be a good Divine (i don't count Zonkey/jennies) as the final and people would pay to get them. Now? now we get fragments and have to pay through the nose to get the rest in whatever lucky item happens to have them.
3.b Prizes as a whole have gone downhill. Yall have gotten cheap with even the middling prizes (ex. See mazes)

I've never not been able to finish one of these before without spending passes. Very short.

Impossible to finish in the time provided, but i always love the free prizes and games.

You're really asking how the event was?

Where is the option to select Pass heavy? That would be very appropriate

It was boring,dull, gifts.. aside of the Eros (if you spent your passes) are okay the rest is.. well..

I don't like the Memory games so I don't even bother playing them.

Not a fan of these half shortened events except the great challenge/lottery as other comment said

I don't see a need for it either? Ive never seen anyone ask or suggest for it?

The event itself has always been great and its very easy to progress and the eqqus hints are very generous to have.

I did buy one pack of lives to finish but for gifts we got 90 passes was well worth it.

The last two events were way too short.
