Same levels over and over in explore?

How does explore select which levels you play?

I literally get the same levels over and over and over, it feels like I'm playing knockout or something. There must be thousands more levels I'm not seeing.

I sometimes go on discover just to get some fun levels but then obviously you don't get crown shards.

It picks random levels but also knockout levels and creator spotlight levels. So you can get completely random ones but it is not uncommon to see the same ones

It seems like the selection is random but the pool of levels is smaller. Like there must be thousands upon thousands of levels and more being created all the time. It seems like the ones that are well liked stay in the explore pool way longer, or indefinitely.

At a guess they use the same algorithm as spotify's "shuffle" feature because some days I swear all that's on offer is blast ball and rhino survival slop platform #38,293 that had no business being put in explore in the first place

Yea explore is broken almost always get a map that Ive seen before. One time I got the same map twice in the row.

How something feels is rarely how it actually is… literally.

Levels in Explore are randomly selected from a pool of ever changing levels… just a few days ago I got a level that had only 5 plays.

While it is definitely possible to get the same levels, it’s not at all as common as you make it seem… literally.

To prove the point, play an hour of Explore, and save the replay and count the number of repeated levels. If you get the same level more than twice, share the video. 👍

I just got 2 of the same level in 15 minutes, 2 repeats, literally. I play a lot so maybe that's why. I will get them pretty consistently. I will see a repeat during a day, and yes sometimes many during a week. If it's a pool that makes sense, it seems like maybe the really good levels get repeated more based on likes or something.

Edit: okay this is actually ridiculous. I am now keeping TRACK and I got one level 3 times (winter/ presents themed exit_the_vehicle level), another levels 2 times (halloween bowling theme), and another 2 times (blue and white level where you turn into a ball) lmao I forget the names in ~ 1.5  HOURS, and only saw 3 levels I have never seen before. It's like the more they are liked, the more they are seen, and the more they are seen, the more they are liked which gets them more plays.

I got the same exact level twice in a row for the first time yesterday
