I would like to see the Bonus prizes in the Great Challenge part either be switched out, or for that level allow players to choose whether they want the Bonus or another prize.

I tend to go for actual prizes for the battle portion of the event, so the Bonus is completely useless to me.

The great challenge and the treats game should be evaluated separately. I happen to really like the great challenge but not the treat game.

really like the great challenge game,the treats game i really dont care for, boring andnothing to look forward to,none of the prizes were worth getting.

Worst round of festivities to date. Would trade low value items several times and, at least twice, would end up getting the same item I'd originally traded for. No, I did not want that blanket the first time. What makes you think I'd want it after trading three times and spending 50k??
Also the art for the treats was ugly

I only log in once a day but thought the event was alright, paid for the key as I wanted the pet. The ranking thing on the second half is always pointless though so I just keep most of the items, I did trade a few this time but not to crazy Equus amounts, and after day 1 didn't request any bonus thingies as that was also pointless

The gummy gecko UFO was cute

Enjoyed the Great Challenge as normal (I did purchase the key after missing a few days), however, treats fight was completely disappointing. Part of it was probably due to my own play strategy, but I sent away every UFO I got, and usually with 2 bonuses, and I still ended up in the 300-500th bracket. So ultimately I walked away with an M. Blood and Ow's Helio's Ray, feeling like it was a complete waste of time and I have no incentive to send UFOs next time this event rolls around.

I would like to see better rewards for players who opt to send away all their UFOs. If I'm going to sacrifice every UFO, it would be nice to walk away with more than an M. Blood and Ow's H. Ray for my efforts.

Boring, rubbish prizes, my least fave event.

I didn't even realise the Great Challenge was going on until the last day of it so that was a bust for me and I didn't end up participating. However, with the treats thing I literally gave up every single UFO I got and I couldn't rank any higher thank 2,000th because I didn't have any bonuses from the Great Challenge and I refused to pester people on my friends' list for them.

Overall, not a very fun time for me. Next time I'll just keep all those stupid items and find a way to get rid of them that's *not* feeding them into a bottomless pit... and I actually wanted that raven companion, too...

The Great Challenge - I did get the pass key, but really didn't think the gifts were that eventful - only the raven was something new ---- bonus gifts were not on my - wow, I need that list

the UFO - first time I didn't even care about bonus as you know that you are really not going to advance -- did give away some gifts and did get a very few nice ones -- did help others

on the fence -- would of liked to have had some fragments from the UFO - or from daily challenges once the great challenge was completed

I don't understand why the Great Challenge and the Treat Battle are linked in this survey. I enjoy the Great Challenge - I think it is easy and intuitive, and the prizes are often very good although 600 passes is too high in my opinion - but I hate the Treat Battle. Every year people are confused how it works - "trading" or "sending it to another player" is misleading when you don't actually give it to another player.

Secondly, the prizes in the UFO are mostly low value. I spent probably 10,000 equus trying for better items before I realized the majority of the items weren't that great and it wasn't worth the time or money.

Connected to that second point, the end prizes for the points don't seem that great either (I personally would prefer keeping any the HoPs and fertility wands in the UFOs over winning a Medusa's Blood). And It is incredibly difficult to even accumulate enough points to get a Medusa's Blood or higher. I've since stopped trying, but one time I was determined to climb the ranks and used all my bonuses, sent back every single item, and just barely qualified for the lowest level prize.

Conclusion: I enjoy the Great Challenge and find the Treat Battle frustrating and underwhelming. They should be uncoupled for the survey and treated as separate events to get more accurate data.

(the gecko art was cute though)

I absolutely love the great challenge! I love the objectives to collect the horse shoes and how easy it is to progress. Really great prizes without having to buy/spend passes

But I really hate the second part of the candy fight. I can never progress because I can’t be on Howrse all the time to catch three candy UFOs and then trade them in for points. I don’t have time and without adequate time it’s very hard to progress

I liked this combo for the most part.

I did pay the 600 to get all the prizes in the first part as i thought the bigger prizes were worth it.
IMPROVEMENT-should be able to go through again ;as there were a few days between the parts.

The second part-I got 79 prizes and the trophy for the event. I didn't get the biggest prizes but i did get some good ones.

I also really liked the candy artwork.
This was the best artwork of this type of game so far.

IMPROVEMENT-when you pay you should trade up.

Poor prizes, most I'll never use.

For me it doesnt make sense that 5000th to 500th are all the same prize! That’s a pretty big range and made there less incentive for me to move up the levels when i could just get all the prizes and stay at 5000th

I will say forever that having to trade all your prizes for points for a shot at the top prizes just isn't lucrative for most players. You'd have to be in the top very few in order to get anything with more than what you've traded out to get there.

As with the past several times playing this, I've just been keeping my prizes, but also didn't sign on often and missed a lot of potential prizes. None of it was exciting enough for me to take it seriously.

As the others have said for the treat portion of the event, when you spend equus to exchange the gifts it should trade up. I found it pretty sad to trade and end up with lower or equal quality gifts. I never spent more than 5,400 since I was wasting money on prizes that didn't get much better.

It also seemed pretty difficult to get decent prizes. I got several Kairos dials, a tears, I think 2 HoP, and then a lot of 25 pass BMIs which were barely worth keeping.

This part of the event could be a lot better if you were able to get decent gifts more reliably. Even if each treat of the 3 levels up. Low level gift the first one, medium the second, and good for the third.

Also, missing out on the 4th gift per cycle is pretty darn sad too. Most players can't spend 100's of real dollars on this game, and if the end goal is only reachable by people spending hard earned passes right before the Crazy Friday event, there is no way we can hit the mark to get the 4th prize.

people complaining that you don't have time to progress and so you don't like the treat battle. then why did you bother trying for rank prizes you know you can't get. i was on all the time and NEVER sent a single prize out cause i knew the best i could get was an Ow's Ray and Medusa's Blood. Both of which are utterly useless to me. i made reasonable trades of no more than 1800 which i only did 4 times. I kept everything and am exstatic with my haul. if you have NO chance of getting good ranking prizes which 99.9999999999% of the players aren't going to get anything better than the bottom 3 rank prizes why are you trying. if you know you can't get them but still do it's your own fault if you are disappointed.

between the 2 parts i got
Golden apple

Cost me less than 15000 in trades. and spent 0 on bonuses

That happen to be last night until i got a dial. I won saddle blanket twice.

Just voted with only the treat battle in mind, not realizing that the votes also included the great challenge. The great challenge is always fun, the treat battle is not. It's tiresome getting the same few treats over and over and over in the battle. Like, I don't necessarily expect anything super valuable, especially ranking so low, but at least give different color saddle cloths, maybe some other tack pieces in different colors, different companions, just a bigger variety in general.

I was so low i didnt even get a medusa blood. I just need to go work odin.

UfO gummies- Boring and i dont think random gifts are random.
Every player should be able to get ALL the gifts so points gatherered can be evenly given out. The gifts i found were mostly lyres/equues/the orange pet thing/ ATears with these i could not manage to get to the next level in rankings (stuck at M Blood 1st level) and my ranking would not improve not matter if i gave gifts in exhange for ranking points or exhange them for another UFO. + the bouns for more points.
Also i think the equues prize amount needs to be adjusted higher -- horses are going up in prices in sales.

Art is cute though, and UFOs and more easy to find.

I think the old game where you have to find things on other pages are more interesting and challanging. But do please give hints of where to look.

I was not at all a fan of this promo, so many of the others are better!
I always like the great challenge and lotteries but this was a letdown. the lottery after a great challenge is way better.
sometimes the UFOs/candy took a lot of play before they showed up, in fact, none showed up during the first time slot for me despite playing during that time
the time slots (midnight to 6am specifically) made that even more difficult/unrealistic
I got several BMIs that I was excited about but was bummed that an athenas medal never showed up even though I spent tons swapping

An okay event.
I don't ever really drop any large amounts of Equus on this one.
I just took almost every cheapie item that was given.
Finally, managed to get two Companions I needed for my collection though, and some 2** saddle cloths as well!
And since I'm almost always in need of Reproduction items, I definitely snagged those as much as possible.

The artwork was okay, but it was really weird and kind of creepy how they looked when basically flung at the screens.
They became damaged, and possibly, died?
Seems oddly painful and unenjoyable, which kind of throws off the whole 'festive' vibe a bit.
