Hey Kaycee ~ I do tend to play non-stop for most of the first two days the event is out. I get up and go to bed at the same time, but since each new event starts on a Thurs, I'm able to play a lot during the day while my husband is at work (no housework gets done lol). I'm also pretty quick at most rooms, so I can often finish a room in a minute to 90 seconds which helps.

If I have any strategy, I first play rooms that I'm trying to level up that also require access passes ~ that way I'm usually receiving double the amount of passes I get in reg rooms. Once I have enough passes to finish the quest storyline (usually around 50% Detective which requires 2,150 passes), I start to play. I always use a Seeker's Star and when the event quest eventually sends me to a merchant, I'll go back to playing event pass rooms that also give good collection items so I don't waste the Seeker's Star (hope that makes sense). Once I need more energy and my Seeker's Star is finished, I TT and start again.

After I finish the new event quest storyline, I start gathering passes to get to Virtuoso. I'm now sick of the new room so I'm no longer quite into it lol but it's somewhat of a challenge for me to get the avatars by day 3 or 4. I NEVER purchase event access passes as the amount of money they charge is EXORBITANT. I'm all for the occasional purchase to support the game developers, but it's crazy to expect people to pay some of the prices they charge.

I hope this helps a bit. I think because I'm trying to turn my map red, I'm able to play locations over and over again and the extra event passes are a bonus. For those who get bored easily (and believe me, there are many days I don't play ~ it's really difficult for me to keep playing the event to turn the room black but I eventually get there usually by the end of the event), or don't set personal goals, or simply don't have the time to play every day, I can understand the struggle. I have a very strong feeling they're working on a way to stop TTing and it's coming soon, so when that happens, my game play will stop in its tracks.
