In that one, you had to fill orders for 9 items within the time limit in order to get balloons with tickets for landmarks inside. And you would only get the reward if you delivered everything in the order. So, it was an all or nothing thing. Completing consecutive boardwalk orders would gradually increase the numbers of balloons (and tickets) you would get. And if you failed to complete orders, it would gradually make the number of balloons rewarded decrease.
However, I usually only play that game during events and I noticed that after ignoring boardwalk orders for a while, the number of balloons dropped back down to the minimum of 2 and the items requested became a lot easier as well. Such as s****ets that could be made in a couple of minutes instead of cabinets that took about half an hour and required 5 parts that you had to make first. Maybe, if we let overly difficult orders expire, it’ll give us easier orders after a while?
I feel like the quantities here need adjusting though since it sounds like some people are getting requests for dozens of golden apples or nuggets and that’s just unreasonable considering how rare they are as drops. My first 2 orders all had quantities less than 10 but the third order suddenly jumped to 36 corn and 18 feral magic although the other quantities stayed below 10. There were some difficult to make items that took multiple steps in the city game but the quantities requested never went above 5 for any item.
