I agree now that it is not a glitch @Munster . I think all the responses in this thread have established that now. King deliberately choose opponents for each one of us to make our games "challenging", so we all see opponents who are ahead of us on levels passed, or stronger than us. or who have easier levels. King want us to crush more and to spend more doing so. That is the basis of all the events. Of course admin don't do anything about it because all this is the deliberate way in which this game has been designed. It's not broken and it does not need to be fixed: As far as King are concerned your weekly race is just as it should be.
You ask how are you supposed to compete with players on lower levels? You are supposed to compete with them by spending money of course, that is how you are supposed to compete. The other players don't see you in their games. They have different opponents, probably stronger than themselves. And they, too, are supposed to spend money to beat the opponents they in turn see in their weekly races. There are no winners in this except King. There is only one way for players to fight back: Do not spend any money on the game. If you do it sends the message to King that how they run the event is a huge success.

Iโve been playing this game since it started and have never or will ever spend money, nice to see that Iโm not the only one have issues with what is going on, theyโd change so much and this game is not fun anymore

@christinewupp Thought I'd chime in here. My "opponents" are all under 200, most under 50 and they all started playing 2025.
I haven't played new levels in weeks because everyone was under 2000. Now this. ๐ค So I played a couple Episodes to see what happens. We'll see if "those" I passed will "play" again.
Seriously, you'd think King would want to make the game more enjoyable again instead of creating more frustration and ridiculouslessness (is that even a word? LOL)! Gotta shake my head and laugh!
Happy New Year and Happy Crushin' y'all! ๐ธ

Thank you for chipping in @Rhonda_L ! It's such valuable information you contribute there.
I think that although the other players MUST be real currently active players, given that we can see their player cards, I often have found that my method of playing one or two episodes at a time means that I generally do overtake them and run away with the event once I start playing seriously. This is because the other players don't see us run away from them because THEY are not competing against US. There must be a lot of luck involved in the weekly race no matter how King try to manipulate the event. You might well be lucky and all those newbies have already been silly and wasted their gold and boosters and will get stuck on some legendary level soon. Let us know how you get on and good luck!

And the plot thickens @cookiemae That's such precious information! Do you ever click on these competitors to invite them as your friends? Whatever reason could there be for pairing you up with players who effectively just started the game and then apparently stopped? I mean, who plays just one level? Could this be because you are such a generous life giver and they'd like you to look after them and befriend these guys? I'm probably reading too much into it. It's really weird to pick players below level 10 at all for any of us.
Your player cards are all of players who do not themselves have the weekly race in their own games yet, which proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that they don't play against you. We knew that of course but this now proves it. They wouldn't have the episode race yet either. So out of interest, do all their player cards state "last race 5" ?

@christinewupp Yes they all have last race 5. I did send out some invites so I'll see if any come back.

Hello @christinewupp I dont get the weekly race, I get this Jelly Streak occasionally, I am not sure if this is similar or not. I cannot find out if they players are on low levels or not nothing happens when I click on their icon pictures. ๐ Happy Crushing ๐
