# of tickets for new games
Is it just me or are the ticket awards for the new games unbelievably low compared to the old games. 30 minutes playing Block Champ only yields 20 tickets. 52 Pickup used to give 75 tickets for what amounted to 1 minute of play. HSN, it’s not like these tickets are costing you anything to give, why did you drop the quantity awarded for these “new games”. This seems to be a real kick to us faithful Arcadians & customers who buy from you all the time. Many of us have continually thanked you for the work involved with the games but this seems like a real slight to us. We spend major $$$ purchasing your products, but you didn’t even respond when we asked to extend the games ’til Dec. Now the low ticket awards? Really? You used to care about us. If others have found the awarded tickets low, please let me know. Maybe it’s just me & the games I tried were the low ones. Do the others give out better tickets than what I tried? Also, there were no instructions on how to play some of the new ones.

No you are absolutely correct the new game ticket amounts are so low, it is pathetic.

Martha Mary!
WooHoo… I finally get to talk to you!
If I ever beat the pants off you it was nothin’ but luck! You are the undisputed queen in 52 pickup and I think our other regulars would agree! When you played and got a perfect puzzle all I could do was marvel and scratch my head over your scores.
I did always wonder though. Did you use a laptop, desktop or tablet to play? I’m on a desktop with a wireless mouse but could never get even close to your scores. Except the last week when I had both personal bests….5303 and 5287.
In closing I just want to give you a shout out again and Deb, too. I always felt like we played each other every day! And without doubt cheered the others on when they beat us!
Maybe we should start a 52 pickup nostalgia thread. Any takers?

Have to say I agree with you about noticing lower tickets payouts but, what good does a bunch of tickets do you when not that long ago HSN Arcade significantly diminished the chances for a great prize to a few items, many small ticket items not worth much? I had a serious head injury for which I played 52 pickup as rehabilitation. At first the improvement on testing was huge. After a while it didn’t improve my neurology other than temporary dopamine increase (yay, but that feel good dopamine and/or even losing prompts HSN spending as you mentioned ) and being able to be faster at the game. I’m dissappointed 52 Pick Up was ended earlier than we expected but it was time for me to move on and play games that challenge other areas of my brain. Thanks for everybody suggesting other games.

MarthaMary, your scores were out of this world. I was always amazed how high you scored. You are truly the “Queen of 52 Pickup”. I also had a concussion in 2000. I lost about 6 months of memory & had trouble subtracting numbers for many years (post concussion syndrome). Also, my Brother died at 57 of a rare brain disease, so it’s always in the back of my mind. Senior years are sometimes for the birds. In stead of the “Golden Years”, they should be called the “Metallic Years” – Gold in your teeth, silver in your hair & lead in your bottom. God bless you & may you always reign.

Need to clarify. Mahjongg DIMENSIONS candy pays the 75 points

Thanks, Cyn! Good to know! I’ll try that one. It was always a pleasure to have your company on 52 Pickup. You’re a fabulous player. I doubt I’ll ever get on the leaderboard tho on MahJongg Candy. Maybe, with lots of practice, I’ll be able to get 75 tickets eventually. Brother died at 57 from rare brain disease so I’m always trying to keep my brain engaged & working. My Dad died 17 days later. Sometimes I worry when I can’t remember names, words, etc. Such fun to have great people to play with. God bless you & yours & stay healthy & safe.

And hello to Nanasabby. Another of our 52 pickup club!

Deb…. Mahjongg Candy. If you beat it 75. Takes a little practice just like 52 pick up but it’s the best substitute I’ve found. At least in the point dept. and I like the challenge.

Thanks for the suggestion of a new game. Much appreciated. By the way you beat the pants off of me often on 52 Pick Up. Kudos to you and thanks for the challenging fun.

I have been playing Eggs Blast and notice that my tickets aren’t always applied. Miss my 52 Pickup and still have all those useless commercials.

I Agree:
-
I think that’s the point. The longer you stay logged on playing the games, the longer you will see their advertisements, the more you will buy.

I agree with you completely! I want artic tri peaks solitaire back. I also resent having to sign in over and over on Friday night if I get off for a few minutes,
