1500 wasn't hard at all. I feel like we've probably had a much harder score to beat before. I don't have the time to go looking for it, though.

[Siniri]

Easy teasy. I'm sure one will be ridiculously hard. It's almost like current staff doesn't even play the games...

[Blue]

Yay! Beat AAA. My high on DoM-III was previously 1658, now 1803. I clearly do not play this one much. It took me a while to get back into it to get anything higher than 1500. I can safely say that I will next play this in 2020... :p

[Pickles]

I can't take credit for this, but this person is my hero: Daily Dare scores history chart
I had at some point been working on something like that, but....

[Siniri]

You can cross-reference that chart to the games from this year's DD here: http://www.neopets.com/neoboards/topic. ... =160079135

[Daze]

Today took me a little while to get the score.

Abigail's Team Prize is a book, where AAA's is a food item. JS really has no concept of giving the better prizes to the harder challenger.
I am sure this happened last year as well.

My commentary: Why Barf Boat? I hate that game. Hate hate hate.
Jumpin' Gem Heist might be a bit of trouble if they use a score that high, as IIRC, it requires some practice to know which containers have extra time/rocks (I realized this last night when I was attempting for reset trophies, before I even knew it was on the list). The rest of them will just require either looking for guide instructions, or a little bit of practice before hand.

Today's was pretty easy for me. Got it on my second try. (First try I quit because I was doing so poorly.)

[Siniri]

I need a teammate! BLue?! I'm challenging AAA, I think...

Edit: NM, found a rando on the boards. (There's a board in the site events board for people to match. You can play the game first and decide who to challenge...)

[Blue]

Sinri, I would be happy to be your standing partner/teammate going forward. I honestly did not realize Ugga Smash was a team game this time around.

Tomorrow (today) is Wheeler's indeed, but AAA's score is 800!! My high is 451...

ugh. 800.. Really?

There must be something I haven't tried yet. Tips, anyone?

[Pickles]

I strongly recommend reading through JN's Guide.

About to tackle the challenge myself. Current high score: 625.

ETA: 809. Watch the video at the bottom of the guide. Tedious, but it works.

[Blue]

Thanks P. The JN guide was very helpful. I managed a score of 1076, mostly because I got bored of wheelies an decided to see how far I could get on level 2-2.

The key is to get a lot of coconuts so you can do a lot of nose wheelies in level 2-2. I had 50 on my last time through. I found it a lot easier to do longer timed nose wheelies instead of the 1 second wheelie. My top length was 12 seconds. Each second is still worth 5 points each, but it was faster/easier to maintain a 8 to 12 second wheelie than starting new each time. Also avoids wasting time to start new wheelies...

[Daze]

Today was easy. A score lower than mine!!

Blue you are going to like today's Day and Date prize.

[Pickles]

Only 450? Seriously? Easy peezy oh so breezy! :p (Definitely got this on my first try today. Just...a bit.)

I used to be able to get 995 consistently when there were World Challenges (highest score for this game without a score review). I kinda miss the WC's...

[Siniri]

Super easy. I barely needed any polarchucks. Too lazy to go much past AAA's score, though.

(Managed his score yesterday, too. I remember back in the day before there were guides, figuring out the wheelie trick on my own.)
