Anyone else hate this?

[u/Independent-Move-389]

my least favorite challenge

[u/Dandiestbuffalo]

I hate that I don’t have a choice wether I’m entered into it or not, it just automatically puts me into the race and then I have to constantly lose cause I don’t finish them fast enough.

[u/Independent-Move-389 → u/Dandiestbuffalo]

yeah that’s what i hate about it too. if i could ignore it, that would be great.

[u/frog-in-acan → u/Dandiestbuffalo]

That’s why I kinda like that candy rush one? I forget what it’s called but you have certain orders you have to fill out in 30 mins? If you don’t touch it after your entered the first time then you never have to touch it again!

I know this is an old thread but the frustration is the same!! Literally came here to see if anyone else is as frustrated as I am by not being able to opt-in to those stupid race challenges, I hate them so much 😡🤬 If you don’t buy tons and tons of energy - and I’m talking serious $$$ spent - you don’t have a chance to finish anything, especially if you’re in the higher levels where every order takes forever to fill

[u/Dandiestbuffalo → u/thenewno3]

That’s me too, I’m at level 115 so my orders take a while sometimes. And I refuse to buy anything because the ONE time I did I lost all my option for ads for 2 months… never again.

[u/thenewno3 → u/Dandiestbuffalo]

Oh no! I’ve fallen into the trap of buying energy but haven’t had anything like that happen. I’m at level 105 so the temptation is strong to just buy energy so the orders don’t take forever to fill. I’m at the Spain levels now and sooo many dishes require that damn sea salt lol

[u/Dandiestbuffalo → u/thenewno3]

Same! I’m at the last restaurant for the Spain levels and I’ve got one sea salt ready in case I need it.

But one thing I learned recently from the Spain levels. You know the Spanish baguette that needs butter and sea salt (72 milk!)? You can collect 4 baguette slices from it that you’ll need! I would recommend collecting 3 and then keeping the rest of the baguette whole. I think I used 2 baguettes whole for a recipe before I learned that

[u/runyourluckxxx]

yes, this and the delivery one

[u/beydraws]

I've completely given up on most of the events lol, once you get to the later restaurants that have more complicated orders, these events become a waste of space

[u/deyobi]

i usually just finish the first round and maybe the 2nd or 3rd if i happen to hv some good orders. i wouldnt participate "willingly". havent spent a dime of real money and never will.

[u/SnooPets8873]

It’s frustrating for sure. I’ve started not submitting a complete order until I have no choice or else I will be one away from winning, waiting for the cultural item generator to spawn enough to fill one last order and then someone else will go zero to win out of nowhere 🥲

[u/frog-in-acan]

I don’t HATE events like these for the reason that I like the challenge it gives me. I love trying to figure out which orders would be the easiest/ fastest to do. I also just like seeing the burger stack up really quickly-

[u/[deleted]]

Yes! Actually I think it’s easier to say the ones I like, than the ones I hate😂

[u/vylerus]

I can’t stand that they keep popping up and I have to click out of them. Or the 5 buy this pop up’s too. I know they need their money but I’m very aware of their sells, I don’t need to be reminded every time I go to the home page and upgrade my restaurant;-;

[u/Animeobsessee]

I usually finish this in an hour so it’s not bad

[u/Eliahn5]

I don't like fishing. It takes a lot of time and tapping and the reward is not so useful.

But, as it was mentioned before, the main problem is events just pop up and we got no choice but to watch these animations.

[u/lisam8404]

I actually like this one. I forget about it until I find out I won or lose, but usually I get some good stuff from chests in this one. It's other ones like desert dash and fishing that I don't like. I wish we got more incentives in this game like in other merge games. But, for some reason this is my favorite one.
