I really think there must be a trick to it or all the prizes are randome. I mean really all you do is skillflully click on a button.

they say that you receive your prize right after clicking "Click to Start!" but before ever pressing the button... which probably means it's random

Yes, it is pure luck. I have thought maybe there was a trick to it, but I find that to be bolonga (sp?) :P A member of my old old guild brought up the possiblity that maybe your pet's strength has something to do with it. I tried it out on my grundo who has a big strength tally and I got a score of like...5 xDD So that can't be right. Mostly I get bad scores but sometimes I will get a good score. I think my best score was 20-something and the prize wasn't that good. It may have something to do with the time but I think we would have figured it out by now if it had.

I noticed that the highest score anyone ever got was 90. No one has ever gotten 100. I think that its impossible to get 100 or maybe its only avalible for a split second, like you have to go on that second? I doubt anyone would ever win all those np, it sounds like they are teasing us. Even so, that doesnt stop me from trying my luck. This girl got 50 and won a halloween pb. :P

I also heard once that you cant have more than like 50 million in your bank. Isnt the jackpot way over that? If you won it, you wouldnt be able to keep it.

anyhow, let's use common sense now shall we, if it was a game of skill, then it wouldn't be in with the luck/chance games, now would it?

A lot of the games in luck/chance involve a certain element of skill, but have a luck factor in there.

Winning the jackpot is too good to be true.
Getting a good score at this game is about as hard as winning Grarrl Keno.

I've heard a rumour that the longer you hold down the mouse button when you click the prize, the better your strength - it certainly worked this morning, I clicked it for about a minute and got a score of about 30 and some spooky food worth about 2000NP - has anyone else tried this?

Previously I've just clicked on the button and scored about 3. So I think there may be something to it.... it would be nice to win the jackpot, but you probably need to hold the mouse down for several weeks ;) ... maybe I'll get the stickytape out...

tried it and hasnt worked for me.. got a good score today.. 39.. highest yet.. haha reading this topic just made me check the avg price of my prize too .. Chocolate Covered Peanuts .. around 5k on the wiz... nice

As for my opinion, i belive it is random, there may be a time factor involved but until someone else figures it out.. im not gunna bother lol

I also heard the thing about holding the button down... and in my personal experience (could be a coincidence) if I hold the button down for a LONG time (2-5 minutes, not just 10 seconds) I get the higher scores... but by higher scores I'm talking about 15 points.

Still... 15 points is better than 2... right?.... no? well it's up to you to test it yourself then. :) more like test your endurance than test your strength!

I did heard also of holding down the button, I I think it works, partly, even if it remains mostly random. I once had 2 points after holding it for about two minutes :P , but generally speaking, my prices are better since I do it (not that 24 is really good)
