Chloe,

I finished somewhere around position 150. I did notice that this event seemed to be more competetive than in the past. For me, it was primarily perseverence and a commitment of time. I have set myself a rule that I will not buy event access passes so most of my time was spent working on premium rooms.

I have generous friends who send me access passes for the premium rooms, I also realize that I can't do this for every event. I alternate events and last time was my turn to go for a high score. For this current event I will avoid visiting the premium rooms (except for guardian quests) and will also avoid using too many talismans. My goal for the current event is to get the avatars (100% detective). Next event I will use my hoarded access passes & talismans - and go for a high score again.

I also found it helpful to not get too invested in winning. I know that someone willing to buy access passes can achieve a very high score with less effort. I also know that many people play more quickly than me, so they will achieve more with the same effort. I also wondered about a last-minute surge for those players who waited until the end to do their banishing, but this did not materialize in a major way.

Congratulations to all.
