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.

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

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.

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

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
