The event has started on my baby farm but has yet to appear on my main farm.
Anyone else?

I got it on my main farm. The rewards are pretty useless to me. The only ones I can really use are the Tom booster, the Xp booster, and the single chick voucher. Having the final reward be three puzzle pieces cracked me up. I have all the sanctuary animals, and as we all know, no way to save puzzle pieces. I can’t resist an event though, so will do it at least up to the chick voucher.

My main farm and larger baby farm both have the tester task event. I agree with the earlier comments that the rewards are disappointing. But, in the interest of filling time between the derbies I decided to participate on my main farm (my baby farms always skip these events). I do like the chick voucher and the 3 puzzle pieces. I don't need/want the other rewards.

Hard to say what they are testing bc it looks the same as always to me ⦠at least as far as format goes. Maybe they are testing to see if people will complete the event with really bad rewards. The answer on my farm is no.

Oops sorry I didn’t know that a non swear word synonym for poopy was verboten here.

Good to see manurey and fecal isn't censored. ;-)

I got the unexpected event as well. Level 104. I’m quite bummed though as I have started playing derby again and all my machines are stacked. Sadly, I will sit it out until I finish derby.
I’m guessing they are testing the timing. How does a 5-day event fare @ 9500 points to complete. Nothing about the event is really different from the past. Just my guess.

Haven't got the tester event on any of my farms
From what I've read and seen here if I did I probably wouldn't be bothering anyway 😅
From previous experience though if all tasks (save the frankly stupid jams/lollipops/etc) are completed than 3/4 days seems to be the finish time for such an event
If they're going to the trouble of working out if the length it runs can be shortened...
...then surely they can also veto the stupidly long tasks like jams...
...and ensure the 'randomised' tasks don't include more than 3 for the same machine in a row (cake/pie/bbq seem to be quite common for that!)

I am doing some of the tasks but not trying too hard. I don’t want any of the ‘prizes’ particularly. I have finished my derby and that was my priority. Long tasks I am deleting as well as others requiring too much dairy,

My two most baby farms got the event. Neither of them have the resources or barn/silo space to attempt it. Or rather, I don’t have the energy or incentive to attempt it. 🤷♀️

Has anyone finished? I would get the final puzzle pieces next if I continued. But - I don’t need puzzle pieces as I am done with the sanctuary animals. I might finish if we got a few diamonds when we pop balloons - or whatever - when we finish. Anyone know yet?

I finished mine last night and yes, the pop balloons with diamonds do feature at the very end.

I finished this morning. I think the end balloons gave me 3 diamonds. Mostly had production tasks.

I think I maybe got three diamonds? And some coins.

I also finished this morning and noted the diamonds I had before popping the balloons. After popping them, I gained 4 diamonds.
Since I wasn't competing with 100 people for an uninspiring grand prize, I trashed all tasks under 100 points.

I am not going to get the last two prices. I probably trashed too many tasks. I just don't have the patience for tasks such as three jams for (as I recall it) 90 points. I had so many of those. Also tasks where I needed to use a machine already working on another task. I trashed those too, because - like the jam - it would slow down everything. I ran out of tasks and patience.
Anyway too bad. It is not like the prices were worth a lot of effort. I totally agree with shepherdgirl... 😎

Finished yesterday evening. It took me every day of the event, which is meh, because I was trying to do the derby as well.
It interfered with machines for derby tasks.
Some items in queue were similar, ie. I had three different teas on the go, so it automatically takes longer than spreading out tasks for machines.
I don’t understand jam ones…at all. Why?
I had fairly long production tasks, had to trash some, and spend some diamonds to finish the last of an item before bed to free up the next day’s slot. Wasn’t impressed with that, but worried about not finishing if I didn’t.
Also left animals fed and some hungry in case I got the feed pets tasks, or wake safari animals. None of those fun 500-pointers showed up. I think this happened to me for the last three events of this type. I got one feed a dog for 100 or collect from 5 animals for 100 or 200?, but even that was a pain because my barn was full for derby stacking, lol.
I appreciated the puzzle pieces, but it was not incredibly “fun”. (And I won’t be using the diamonds like that again.)

I am not going to finish this event. I had limited farming time the last couple of days and I was not motivated to try too hard.

I also won't be able to finish and will be short by about 1,000 points! Perhaps the test is related to "doability" within the shorter event duration?

I have all my sanctuary animals, so the puzzle pieces weren't an incentive, and neither were the balloon rewards at the end. Many of the tasks conflicted with my derby tasks, and with such a short time frame it would have been too much trouble to finish the event just to get few diamonds and coins. if there had been a tempting final reward, I'd have made the effort.

I finished. But I wasn’t happy. Mostly production tasks for items that take really long. Also, no preparation because we didn’t get an announcement beforehand. And my animals stayed unfed for days for no reason. Not a single feed your cat, dog, horse, donkey or bunny task. I missed out on so much expansion material. Was this really worth it?

I am short by around 600 points. I completed it on the last day, but at some point I wondered whether I would get to the end due to my mostly low-level tasks. If this was indeed a test for event duration I think they need to add a day or so.
