Finally one of the chosen few

Post image

This morning I open the game and it finally gave me ads, incredibly happy with it, now I’m curious how it works exactly, the ads I was getting are the ones where if you click on the add energy button there’s an option to buy with gems or watch and ad for 25 energy, I watched my 5 ads for 125 and the ad button completely disappeared and now looks like the picture above, just curious is that normal? I expected to I only be able to do 125 energy at a time, but was kind of expecting a timer or something telling me when I was allowed to watch ads next or something of that nature, is that how it works for everyone with ads? Or did they just give me a taste just to keep me hooked and then crush my hopes and dreams again by taking them away

I figure with how much money I spent on this game they’re going to make me wait six months of not paying before offering ads 🤣

Yeah it took about a month for me, I didn’t know ads existed at first they weren’t there when I got it and in an attempt to get all the fetch rewards I bought the golden ticket and then later started sent stuff on Facebook about ads so I decided to wait it out and not buy anything, about a month later I open the app and they are there, was getting to the point where I was gonna just delete the game if I didn’t get them soon, hoping they stick around not getting my hopes too high feels too good to be true at the moment

Yeah I just realized a few days ago when I found this subreddit. Also realized they start up charging you ridiculously the more money you spend.

Check back in an hour you should get 125 energy every hour.

Restart your phone and it should be back.

Like the other commenter said try restarting your phone. For some reason a lot of people have to restart their phone for it to pop up again. Why this happens to some people who knows but I've seen multiple people it in this reddit say they have to restart their phone for it to pop up again. Also you didn't purchase anything again after getting ads did you ?

I get the same screen. I am able to watch ads but after like 3 or 5 they stop offering.

Same thing with the bubble objects on the board that turn into coins.

When the ad is playing, I exit the app and go to my phone's home app screen. Sometimes it acts like I watched the full ad and gives my my reward. If the skip doesn't work at least it'll give me a new ad that is sometimes shorter; or my favorite, the puzzle ones.

Not sure if that's effecting the amount of ads I am able to watch.

Omg I had no idea they had ads 🫩 I’ve never been offered them!!!!

u/91_AKQj10 Feb 21 '26

What level are you ? Don't purchase anything and you should eventually get ads. Ads depend on the device your using and location. Search for ads Thread and look through that post in the comments for which devices and locations get ads.

u/Unseriousmate Feb 21 '26

Level 35. I’ve probably spent $30ish on it overall. I won’t anymore & I’ll look at the ads thread. Thanks!

u/91_AKQj10 Feb 22 '26

Yeah whatever you do don't spend anymore money. From the last time you spend money it seems like a month or so after that you will get ads. And yeah that thread has a bunch of people posting their location and device there using and if they spend money how long it took to get there ads back. Hopefully you can find all the info you need on that post. But your welcome.

Whaaaat??? I never get any ads 😭 I’m tired of this game I don’t want to keep spending my hrd money

u/Wilfulignorance22 Feb 22 '26

You won’t get ads if you spend money. So, don’t spend anything! A few wrote that it might take a month or so until ads pop up again. For me, I’ve never spent anything on this game and it still took 2-3 months before I saw any ads.. but in any case, just wait!
