Not working yet: spending credits to gain new challenges, FAQ.

You are assigned 3 daily challenges each day, and can work through them at your own speed. At midnight your challenges expire and you are given 3 new ones.

In addition, I am still adding new challenge types. When I add a new one to the system, I assign the challenge to all testers, so you can all mess with it if you want to.

Feedback I'm looking for:

- Any bugs. So, if you think you've completed the criteria for a challenge but it doesn't give you credit, let me know. Likewise, if it gives you credit and you haven't completed it.

- Suggestions if something appears way too hard or way too easy (medium and difficult level challenges). I'm still messing with adjusting difficulty levels.

To everyone else not testing: this is coming soon. It should be fun!

Thanks!

oh yeah, any pts you earn will be erased when it launches

Looks good! I've just done my "easy" challenge with no problems but it's my bedtime now so I look forward to seeing what tomorrow has in store.

(Shame about the points, lol)

You have to say anything... I have over 70 of those things

Terry, my Twin Challenge is listed as incomplete again.

And same with Wes'. I was under the impression than once we had that it wouldn't go away. We don't have to END the day with those stats, do we?

Are our scores even the proper points apart?

They have been, twice today. The fist one reset because it was during original making-of-it-ness.

Then I was 2500 ahead, exact, and it was complete. The wording leads me to believe we should both still have it. Yet we do not.

Oh, I see.

I've completed my Easy and Medium challenges for today. I guess it's up to me to try to get the Twin Challenge one for flopsy and me, since I'm the only one still on of the pair of us. My Medium challenge, 52 correct answers in Geography seemed pretty easy. I only had to play 4 quizzes (25q, 10q, 10q, and 10q) to get the required points. So far so good on giving credit when I earned it.

Edit to update: Finished my individual Difficult challenge and won Early Bird to boot!

Just a question, how on earth does one score just a few points like one or two to be the required points?

I scored more than the required points, not the exact number. I'm pretty sure I had 9 extra.

Just read Wesley's reply, I guess it's a little unclear to me what you mean by getting exact points...

If you're referring to my Medium challenge where it says "score a total of 52 correct answers", maybe it's a bug that I got it with more than the required amount if it's supposed to be exactly 52, not at least 52.

The best way to get an exact score is to deal with that pesky last digit first. Then you should have multiple options for the rest. Don't want to permanently spoil this game for everyone here now that the testers have seen it

And if it's for a precision badgelet, hope afterwards no editor will just then accept one of your single Qs

Been there, done that, happens all the time. None in, anyway.

Thanks! Now I need a calculator to see how many more points I need.

"Score a total of 52 answers" can be done with anything greater than that.

I was talking about the Twin challenge. Trying to get the right distance in between.

Glad that's cleared up! I wrote my response, then realized it probably wasn't what you were referring to, and banged my head on the laptop keyboard...

Gotta wait for triviaking to come online to get my precision challenge done.

No you don't, Kyle. :-)

yeah I keep resetting your challenge salami to test stuff

Yeah-- that clicked soon...and then I got 2501 and had to move on to the next target.

Wellill be, Terry, no wonder. ;-)

you've now solved it 3 times in one day. you guys are good

I'm going to keep scoring. I am NOT staying away from the Globals. :P See if I can equal salami's score if we need to do it again.

It doesn't count, so ignore it if you want! It seems to all be working fine.

Just completed the Twin Challenge for flopsy and me with the exact same score. That's it for me, see you all tomorrow! Everything appears to be working fine on my end, Terry.

Thanks for bailing me out, Kyle Everything's good on my end!

Well, I failed the reading test and didn't complete my Easy target in the right mode, lol. When you're doing the final layout, Terry, can you put that requirement in bold? Take pity on oldies who can't see straight and on people who don't read the question - or in my case players who fit both descriptions, lol. Epic fail.

It's not just oldies, lol. I did the same thing. *facepalm* Didn't read the requirement, played in HTML. Only it didn't even tell me "play in Game Mode". Still, FAIL. :P

lol flopsy.... ok, ill bold it
