1321 is my best on this so far grrr...There was a 1350 at Liverpool St Spoons.
The sudoku seems okay most of the time - the only suspicion I had was that it might occasionally have alternative solutions, but mark them incorrect (proper sudokus have unique solutions).

i had 1444 earlier for a fiver.
agree about the sudoku comment, that is king of the swizzes.
but i like the game overall, it is refreshing to have something other than Q&A. only problem is you know as soon as the game starts whether you are going to win and how much.

1484 by me and me bruv
We're both confident that the sudoku doesn't recognise all the solutions that it makes possible.

Doesn't it say that it's 'coming soon'?

So what's everyones favourites-
In terms of scoring I like
chainletter- normally circa 440
TV twister- ditto
Mid- Range Say 300ish but potentially less:
Sum Up
Suduko
The maze thingy
word-fill
Don't like:
Spot the difference
The Q&A trivia strangely- nearly always seems to find a v tough one within the 6 and if you do get them all time bonus is not great

Oooh ooh - my favourite it was the one that pays more than £1 for your trouble.
So not this game then.

agreed about chain letters and TV twister being a piece of piss. i also like the find small square in big picture. so far i'm running at 100% on that because it seems fair (cf the unfair equivalent on nuts).
as QM says, it is never going to be an earner but it should get decent throughput from punters; both the scoreboards on my two safe itboxes are already full.
i don't like the numbers game, although it is easy, i'm personally weak at speedy mental arithmetic. on the WHTBB game on facebook that always trips me up. i can do it but am desperately slow compared to the other games.

I saw it shaft someone the other day, even when they didn't do anything wrong.

I like this game a lot, and reckon £10 is possible if there's been a bit of punter play beforehand. 1528 got me very near it this evening. Got to love games with scoreboards, roll on the tournament.

This game is totally controlled,
including the timer. If the game decides a win isn't due, you simply can't be 'just' quick enough.

For me the most obvious spoilers are: rock hard STD; impossibly long mazes; any TV Twister longer than 15 letters; and, 3 digit Sum Ups
