I wish I could say that the main thing is all the new games, but I can't keep up with all of them, so I've lost most of the excitement that I had for this once I realized that I forgot to check the right link on July 1, even though I'm on the site like it's one of the main things in human life.

As such, due to the combination on those things, i opened the first one too late to count, even though i was active on the site multiple times that day.
Same, this sucks. I won't bother with the chests now because there is no point for me as I can't complete it anyways :(

You should have made an anouncement at the top. Shame.


Edit: even though that's unfortunate, I wanted to say that it's amazing that there is a game released every day. Keep up the amazing work!

Same here as well, just like last year. :(

Add me as someone else that happened too. It's very low on the page on mobile and no announcement when it went live. I also am on the site all day long, I still managed to remember at dinner time, but the server was already on the next day. So 1 day in and I've already made getting them all impossible, so I likely won't engage as much knowing the achievement is out of reach.

I am not going to try out one game per day unless there is a way to remove them from the list of "games I know" afterward.

You don‘t need no try them out, opening the box is sufficient.

I missed July 1! I guess there is no trophy for 30 days? Lol

If a chest can be collected, it should have a different state visually. It should glow or something.

Same ! I wasn’t going to elaborate, but the server time difference was definitely a contributing factor!

I really wish these allowed a little grace; like each one can count as being opened for 48 hours (or even 36 hours) - combined with the other things, it would help a lot! Or if the main reward was for 30 days instead of 31.

I’m all for challenges that require persistence, etc… but this is just de-motivating, knowing you are out of the running before you even start!

Especially when it's obvious from looking at play history that I'm online and playing every single day for months without missing a day, but didn't check the home page within the servers time vs local time.
