There is no reason to stop just because you can't do Steps 10 - 12.[]


10-cook 5 each of meringue, cookies and cupcakes

11- Collect 6 Cheese, Collect 3 Butter, and Learn Lovely Cheesecake.


12-serve 5 cheesecake, 5 split pea soup, and 5 lobster Thermidor.

I agree with people who said we should not have to seek out a forum for this information on an app game. This information should have been included WITHIN the game itself to save some (most) of us the trouble and stress.

I'm not one who takes games seriously at all so I will get over it and move on but I did expect that a goal available to me would be possible to complete if I worked at it.

I got to step 11 and silly me, I spent 40 gems to skip the butter and Lovely cheesecake before thinking of coming here. The game shouldn't be willing to take gems for skipping that step for players under level 35.

I usually am smarter about such things but again, I had that prize in mind and I was sooo close after a ton of work.

An app game should have all the information within the app so that we can make educated decisions. I feel really stupid for spending 40 gems and thinking I may have a chance to complete but it never crossed my mind that a special holiday event would be level based.

I definitely don't feel as attached to this game now. For those replying with silly stuff like, "it's not for nothing" or "it wasn't a waste" just because we get a flashing XO sign, please remember the photo on the goal is of the Lovebirds and THAT is what most people had on their minds while participating.

If I had known There would be absolutely NO way for me to complete this for the indicated prize I would have definitely saved my 40 gems and BIG effort and even may have considered spending more to purchase the Lovebirds from the start.

I could have purchased it rather than spending so much energy on a goal I would never be able to complete!! That should be clear within the app from the start of the event!!!

Instead, I am left feeling icky about the whole thing. People who are left with bad feelings about an app most likely won't feel good about spending money on it!

So, if TL's goal through all of this was to keep most of us in the dark and hope that players would spend money at the end to complete, I hope that part is a big fail.
