After a certain point you can no longer move to another city without buying the premium pass

Used to be better

I have noticed a real drop in the quality of this game over the past year. It’s pretty glitchy, and there used to be more music, better descriptions, and varied jobs and tasks. I do enjoy the new cities, but I would like to see it go back to the way it was when it was better supported by its creators. Also, there are too many sports questions.

Great game but glitchy

I really love this game, and enjoy the regular updates but the game is glitchy as hell. For instance some cities I have found at the end of every day I have to restart the game but I lose nothing, it just takes longer to reset each day. Other issues are that I'll buy at the shops and I get annertor stating that there is an error and it's not in my inventory. But it shows that I have completed a task I am buying an item for. It is glitchy and sometimes gets on my nerves but overall it's a great game that while I wish they would fix the issues, they aren't enough to make me not want to play. I wish what is needed for other cities was identified someway so that I don't waste money traveling back and forth. Also in a few cities you have to earn so many coins to complete a level it seems impossible I wish different goals were establishes. It is educational and I have learned a lot culturally through this game and this is the biggest draw to the game for me.

Game is rigged in contests

The game stops counting my jobs completed / questions answered with 3 hours to go in contests, but keeps counting the other competitors.

Don’t bother

Asks the same 8-10 questions over and over again, has annoying animations in TIMED games so that you cannot finish in 45 sec and you have to buy more time, and shows 3 minute ads for a 45sec game. Deleted.
