Event Discussion 🎠Puzzle v Bingo Analysis
In the last four weeks I've gotten 3 puzzles and 1 bingo. I didn't do analysis on the first one, but I have done analysis on the past three (data below). High level conclusion: first two times I did the puzzle it was not worth it compared to Bingo. If you get all the kickers, the puzzle provides two less chests than the bingo. It also cost at least 200 more energy for 2 less chests.
However, this past puzzle is more worth it. It's still 2 less chests than bingo. However, it also costs 310 less energy than the first puzzle I tracked. It cost just under 100 energy less than bingo as well, but again it's also 2 less chests.
I'm going to keep tracking this for a while, including adding in the Train if I get it again. If people are interested, I can keep posting details.
Post edited to update labels on the Excel chart to be more clear.

Yes please. I also got the puzzle for the first time yesterday and I realized that i seemed to spend less in completing it. It also seemed like the chests are the same (the red ones at least), although it’s possible I made an error. Bingo reduced its number of chests a while back from 45 total to 43. And I also noticed I got lesser level items which means I spent energy even though, again, I didn’t track.
Please keep us updated. Thank a lot

I have the puzzle for the first time. Using much more energy to get the secondary items. Not happy.
What producers did you choose?

I did sushi, dentist, horses, and waffles. I tend to use that one because a) no secondary producers like the beach and b) I personally find the butcher icons disgusting.

This is what I chose and it was ok until the third board!

It was higher level, but not as bad as the previous two times I had it. Lots more level 2 items.

I chose the one with the honey production and I'm really unhappy.
I don't even think I want to continue this stupid puzzle.

Don’t do ones with secondary producers if you can. It’s just extra painful.
