I also got this for the first time ever today! Unfortunately it completely froze my iPad when it first appeared so I had to do a forced shutdown/restart. Luckily I did not lose any boosters etc. After that it started working and I won both episodes. With the first one I was not paying attention so no idea of the prize, with the second one it was 5 gold bars.
@SagaR -thanks for the info. So the prize is 5 gold bars. I appreciate it. Do you have to wait for the new episodes each week (are you as high as you can go?) ย Iโm wondering if the race is only for those who have to wait each week for the new episodes to be released.ย
@bearwithmeย Yes, I am as far as I can go, i.e. I have to wait for new episodes each Wednesday. But I've been in this situation for a year, and this week was the first time I got the Episode Race. I guess it's being implemented in stages.
Now, with the Episode Race, I have to decide which prize I want more - the one from Episode Race, or the one from Daily Win? Because if I want the Daily Win prize, I have to play the new levels over several days (otherwise I only get the Daily Win every six weeks). But if I do that, I will lose the Episode Race (I assume the winners will complete the episode within a day).
