Bingo

If you are a nonmember and are unable to get rid of the orange ad, scroll to the bottom for help.

I really like this update!

Start out by getting a free bingo board at Downtown. This is for nonmember and members, yay!

Then, to begin playing Bingo, click on the bingo icon  on the top right corner (next to the Daily Spin)

The 16 squares on the board are goals you have to complete. They all are related to playing games.

If you complete 4 in a row, you get ecoin and gemstone prizes! If you complete all 16, you get a medal (shown at end of this post)

Some general tips:

• If it tells you to play a certain number of games, don’t try and get a high score. In fact, try and lose on purpose, so it’s faster. You don’t have to win the game for it to count, just make sure that you have more than 0 points.
• If it tells you to have a minimum amount of points, keep playing until you reach that minimum then lose on purpose after, so you can move on quickly.
• Losing on purpose does NOT mean clicking on the exit icon; it won’t save your score if you exit!
• If you’re in the middle of a game and you forgot how many points you need minimum, just look at my screenshot above (is mine the same as yours?)
• Hover your mouse over the bingo square if you don’t know where the game is, then click on it to go there quickly
• You need to fill the entire bingo board to win the game, not just 4 in a row. But, if you get 4 in a row, you get ecoin prizes.

Here are some tips for each game. These are tips, not instructions; if you don’t know how to play, just click on the instructions on Fantage.

Bricks BreakingThe wands on the left are used up when you click on 1 single brick (because the minimum to “break” a brick is a group of 2). Use up these wands once you get the minimum of 16,000, then try and lose on purpose. You lose when there are no more groups of 2 to click on at the end.

Mouse OutYou do NOT need to win the game for it to count (thanks Grace5z!) Choose the hard level so you can end the game more quickly.

Word UpYou only need to pass the first level for it to count. After that, just wait until the time runs out, so you can lose on purpose and move on.

Magic PopI’ve heard of a cheat where you just move to the corner and hold the spacebar down. This supposedly allows you to win faster.

Wild RacerChoose your highest level pet to play, they are faster. You do not need to win the game for it to count (thanks Susanღ!)

Bobo FishThis game is super easy, no cheats here. Once you get 24, crash into a tree stump on purpose to end the game.

BoxyAlso a very easy game. Try and get perfect alignments, so you get points faster. Once you get 240, miss 3 boxes on purpose to end the game.

Jelly Fishin’On the first level, just get one good-sized jellyfish, then wait until time runs out. It will count as 1 play as long as you have some points. Make sure not to waste time going on to the next level.

Wild SlingerYou have to win the game for it to count. And wow, for the first time in foreverrrrr (Frozen reference intended), you guys can use my Wild Slinger Cheats! Click here

Wild BrainiesChoose Multiplication II. It will be a 2-digit multiplied by a 1-digit. For the 2 digit number, ignore the first digit; cover it up with your finger if you have to. Then, just multiply the 2 numbers together, like you would a 1-digit times 1-digit. Then, ignore the first digit of the answers as well and find the answer you got. This is confusing, sorry, but it’s basic math. If you chose Multiplication I, it would be very hard to get 60 points.
You can also experiment with the other modes (division, combination, addition, etc.)

Candy SwapAgain, once you get 14,000, lose on purpose by letting the time run out.

Where in the WorldYou only need to get 1 answer right for it to count. I just did the US, since that’s my country. You can even refer to a map on Google images.
Once you get 1 answer right, lose on purpose by getting it wrong over and over. Again, you only need to get 1 correct answer for it to count as 1 play.

Pearly PopI had the MOST difficulty with this one, it’s super hard to get 25,000. Try making it so that you pop the pearls at the top of the screen, so the ones that are attached to it on the bottom fall off with it as well.
Like in the example below, I shot out a yellow pearl that was holding on to a huge group of other random pearls beneath it. Once I shot the yellow pearl, everything that was attached to it fell as well. You can get a lot of points this way.

Bubble BugJust catch 2 butterflies, wait until the time runs out, done. It will count as 1 play.

BullseyeYou have to pass the first level for it to count. Once you’re past it, lose the second level on purpose by missing the target on purpose. Just shoot it into the trees.

StariesAgain, get to the minimum 3,200 points then end the game. DON’T click on the exit door, click on this lock instead. It will automatically end the game, and it will count as 1 play.
Keep track of which goals you have completed by checking your score board. If there is a blue chip on it, that means you’ve completed it.

~~~~~

Once you have finished all 16 goals, you will get a level 10 medal, for both nonmembers and members.

If you completed it quick enough, you might even get a place on the “Fastest Finishers” list! I wish I realized this at the beginning, because I was blogging and playing at the same time ._.

HOW TO GET RID OF THE “PREMIUM MEMBERS DON’T GET ADS” POP UP (FOR NONMEMBERS)

For some of you nonmembers, when you try playing a game, after clicking YES, the screen will darken and nothing will happen.

This is because you have AdBlock turned on. To turn it off, click on the icon at the top of the screen and select “Don’t run on pages on this domain”

 

Now, the Adblock icon will turn green 

Try playing a game again (your page will be refreshed), and an ad will show. Keep watching the ad until you see a “skip ad” option, or watch it until the end if none appear. You will be able to play the game once the ad is finished.

I think that the orange “premium members don’t get ads” thing only shows up for nonmembers who have never bought membership, because I am a nonmember and this doesn’t happen to me, whether I have AdBlock on or off.

Thank you to Moonlight Mizuki and everyone else who was talking about it on XAT for your help!

Reflection

I was REALLY surprised that we were able to earn 1,800 ecoins and 6 moonstone gems total. Well, something weird is going on with Orion’s Rare Finds, all the rarity levels have shot up, and the old super-rare items are gone (e.g. PB Hat). But that’s a separate story.

The only bad thing about it is the nonmember ad thing. But that really doesn’t have anything to do with this event, because those ads were there for half a year now (estimating here). I think Fantage just complete forgot about it, I doubt they meant those ads to hinder nonmembers when completing the bingo board. So because of this one annoying fault…
