For fun, I now have Seeker's Notes installed on 3 devices. My main game that I have been playing for 2 years now is on a Windows laptop, and I am at level 304. My friend loaned me a Windows OS tablet to do some "testing" and observations. I started this game about 5 days ago, and am at level 34, and only have 19 friends. The third game is on my iPhone, which I started one day ago, and took to level 11 to be able to add friends and open the event.

It is very interesting to see how at lower levels, the items are much easier to find, and it isn't until Detective and above where the items are, as I refer to it, deviously hidden. Playing on the small phone screen is much more challenging, but at the same time, the room image is cropped giving a smaller image to search. This has been a challenge, for as you experienced players will know, the items are always hidden in the same assorted places, but with the new cropped room, the locations have been changed, and I have to relearn them for this format.

Friends. This has been a HUGE challenge. I don't want any friends on my iPhone account. I only want a limited number on my tablet account. (Of course, my laptop account is well stocked with LOTS of wonderful wiki friends.) I have been inviting friends through the SN "find friends", which is limited to 3 every 12 hours and only players at my level. So I have been adding about three a day. Of the friends I have added this way, I think only one accepted. I wrote down the experience points for the others, and only 2 of these 20 or so players have played in the last day. I have added some friends from the forum, and most have accepted my invitation. I have limited the friends I invite to lower level players (under 100), as I don't know how much I will continue to play this game on the tablet. But the observation is that is it almost impossible to get friends through SN. Without internet friend code exchange, it would be very discouraging to new players. When I first started the game 2 years ago, 6 new friends were generated at a time, and they were assorted levels, and you could build you friend base including friends that could send you things friends of your own level could not. At level 34, I have 3 premium rooms open, but only have the ability to send the 2 lowers passes.

Gifting. Of course all of my 3 games are friends with each other, so I can help the lower games with whatever they need. Also, it's great fun to transfer CIs from my laptop game to my tablet game to fulfill wish list items for those friends. They must wonder how such a low level got the CIs. Hee hee.


 * I would like some more friends, but mainly so I can charge their maps, and send access passes. On my tablet game I do not need to be visited or receive gifts.  If there is something on my wish list, it is usually so I can send it from my laptop game.  If you would be interested in helping me out this way, let me know.
