That's insane. The price for Limited Edition Platnum Plated Y9 Commemorative Dubloon is cheaper than the Meerca and Destruct-O-Match games AAA prizes and I thought that the Dubloon Diaster was a much harder game o.o;

My theory is that those prizes were only given out on their respective days, so they hit their low on that day, and can only go up from there.

Personally I think Destruct-o-match was the hardest so far. 2500 is nuts x.X

I hope so because I bought a dubloon just in case it did.

So far it does seem to that the Daily game is going to be the featured game from now on.

I beat Abigail all three days. I'm not very good at games :(

Just click on the Main Menu button and it'll take you right to the game screen. Apparently there's some introductory animation that's supposed to load and play there, but isn't working. Unless you've tried that already...just pointing it out, because it confused me too.

For those of you still trying to get your Dubloon Disaster challenges done - especially if you're aiming to beat 1,200 - here's a strategy someone posted here a long time ago (forgot who it was, sorry!) that helped me out a bit. Instead of letting two mines at a time pop up, then baiting them into getting so close to each other that they blow each other up - just let them keep coming (they'll stop after 8 or so). Then sort of 'herd' them into the middle, and treat them like one giant mine instead of a bunch of little ones.

This makes it easier to just snap up dubloons that appear around the edges. Yes, a dubloon will sometimes appear towards the middle, and you may have to take some time to maneuver the mines far enough away from it. And you'll still need patience. But I just thought I'd share this method, in case anyone wanted to try it. Good luck! :D


It's 9 mines max and that's the key to getting high scores in addition to having lots of time on your hand. So far I think this has been the easiest AAA challenge it just requires patience on the gamers part.

Darn,I just beat AAA on all 3 games today(couldnt do it on the launch day)....I shouldn't have a problem beating AAA on all 31 days except bouncy supreme...guess I will only qualify for the last prize...hopefully the ultimate prize is not a BD item...

So I dont get this. I didnt beat meerca chase yesterday (I took AAA's challange) do I still have the 30 wahtever days (20 something now) to try and beat it still? The prize says not yet, and the game thing is still on the meerca chase page...

Oh thank you! I got up to 650 today for the highest xD Im sure in the 29 days I'll get lucky enough to get the neggs I need then I can have that plushie in my gallery at last :evil:

Grrr again today I have to challenge Abigail. But the next three days after that, look out ugly roo, I'm commin after you! :evil:

I'm contemplating buying two of the AAA prizes (when I don't get 1 from beating him). One to keep and one to sell later. Might be a good investment. Yesterday I bought two Meerca Chase II Plushies at a little less than 10K, now already today the cheapest one I can find on the wiz is 15K.

I really like that dubloon, and if I ever get my dream pet, a pirate eyrie, that would be perfect for his treasure gallery. XD

How do you guys know the prize ahead of time?
Am I just an idiot?

*wipes sweat from brow*
I wasn't sure I could do the game today, as my high school for it was fifty. But I lucked out with a score of 310

We don't, but it doesn't take long for someone to beat them both and post them on the neoboards.

Hmm. That was silly of me.. I actually meant how do you guys know the game.
Like, everyone's talking about Bouncy Supreme...

This petpage has a list. :) I think the list came from the night before the first day when apparently you could play all the games that would be challenges, but not get credit for it? Or something?
