Why am I, a level 16000 player, always going against level 100s? They can finish way more levels than I can in a day. Why don't you pick on someone your own size!

Same here. It seems that someone has passed 410 levels in the last 7 days and zero levels from 2021 to 2025.
My other game has players ranging from level 196 to 5428 this week.
Yes, I've got similar though in this instance they are different avatars. I have also got one who has played since 2021.
Baloney indeed ! This one is not yet in first place but my guess is they'll top the leaderboard soon with lots of points.
I haven't been in the UK for 3 weeks @christinewupp but it doesn't matter where I am it's always a load of baloney wherever I am. This is what is showing in mine this morning
and have a look at the 1st place player
been playing since 2021 but shown as only playing for 1 week where they've passed 83 levels. It's like we keep saying Player Cards are fictional and just an invention by King for their purposes, whatever they are. Feedback is useless, King will just carry on doing what they want. I would love to be a fly 🦗 on the wall at one of their whiteboard, tea, coffee, biscuit meetings. Just to find out what the thinking is behind a lot of their decisions 🤔
Hey @Carol-38 You have the same players in your game that I have this week! I have the same players in two games. Here they are:
The first screenshot was taken earlier. That mouse doesn't seem to stop going up in levels. And yes, I noted that these have played since 2022. But of course King claim that player allocation is completely random.
We were speculating if my seeing the same players in all my games might be due to regional server issues. Or because of shared Wifi.
But if you see the same players ( the Mouse and JaiMulnivasi, who started off with the frog avatar and then changed it) this makes no sense: I was not in England at the start of this week's race. It's really odd.
It just goes to show what a complete and utter load of old twaddle everything is now. I posted on Tuesday that I had all new players, which I did. Now those in 1st and 2nd place as you will see below show they have been playing since 2013 and 2022. You will also see that even though they started playing all those years ago, they have only bothered to play their games in the last week while being in my Weekly Contest. And neither of the players levels even tally. Player 1 showing passed 1260 levels in a week on 1st screenshot, but that they're actually on level 1145 when opening the Player Card. And player 2 showing passed 768 in a week but that they are on level 657 on the Player Card. Seriously, how can we take anything that King tells or shows us as being truthful, it's all just such a mess. Yes we have always said Player Cards aren't correct and this proves it once again. It's all just one big 🤕
since January 2025.
Not that it makes any real difference @christinewupp, but as I have said in another thread this issue started for me in December 2024.
@QueenB I ALWAYS only get new players in all three of my accounts, and when I say always I mean every single player in every single week in all three accounts since January 2025. That is hundreds of players. This is not a lie and I check the player cards every week, so anything that contradicts this is a lie in my opinion. The mix of abilities seems manipulated to me but of course I cannot prove this. I have noted that there are always some players who started playing and then stopped playing, often at level 71. Most of my opponents are from India, like @Alienscar's are.
When I started a new account my first week's opponents were all extremely easy to beat except one, who like myself scored over 700 levels, which I did find odd and a strange coincidence. Some had played one single level and then quit. This is one of them. There were two others who had played just to level 2 and then quit. This means that players are definitely not allocated at random for newbies to the game when they see their first weekly race.
Every week I am grouped with 6 but most often 7 other people from the same country as me. Fair enough, if players are grouped based on location. But they are never NOT new players. Am I supposed to believe that this is random, and it’s just that there are more new players joining every week than there are existing players in this country? If it was really random, wouldn’t a more seasoned player from this country show up on my board occasionally? @christinewupp or another of our more mathematically-minded members might be able to work out the probability of that.
I don’t know that I have explained that very well so I hope it makes some sense. It’s just so frustrating that by the time I get new levels every week, at least three of the players already have more points than I can even get by passing them all.
Aahhh yes, thank you for pointing this out and I completely understand where the confusion is coming from.
The post you linked is actually from a much earlier phase of our Community structure (back in 2019), when we were testing out a different version of the Game Expert program. That initiative didn’t fully launch as planned, and the roles eventually evolved into what we now have as Game Moderators and Game Experts, with clearer distinctions between volunteer community members and King employees.
We should have archived that old post a long time ago, and I really appreciate you bringing it to our attention. I’ll go ahead and archive this one to avoid further confusion!
Thanks again for being so sharp-eyed and for always pushing us to be clearer.
That kind of feedback genuinely helps improve the Community ☺️
Thanks @QueenB I must have missed the change from community member to King employee for the Game Expert.
helping us see things from a player’s point of view
And there is part of the issue. By definition a Game Expert should already have a players' point of view.
I haven't bothered checking mine for a long time as I've given up with it. Just checked, and mine are all players who started playing in 2025. So mine is randomised alright, but just from a list of new players 🤭
Thank you both for your replies.
@christinewupp – I really appreciate you taking the time to share that message. It means a lot, and I know our mods and Game Experts will feel seen reading your words. We absolutely understand that players are here because they care, and your passion is never lost on us 🤗
@Alienscar – I hear you, and I want to clarify one point that may have been misunderstood. Our Game Experts are indeed King employees, and they’re part of the extended support team helping us out in the community. While they may not be involved in every development decision, their info is rooted in official guidance, and they’re here with the intent to help not mislead.
That said, I do appreciate the feedback. Titles like “Game Expert” are meant to show that someone is here to support and inform, not to create confusion or suggest superiority.
If ever something they’ve shared feels unclear or off, please keep doing what you’re already doing, raising your hand, asking questions, and helping us see things from a player’s point of view. That dialogue is how we improve 😃
I truly value your contributions to the community, and I hope we can keep building trust and clarity together 🤗
No i don't have good Memory 🙈. While talking i stop midway and think what was i saying, even when we get timed boosters if I'm stuck on a level i forget I've got timed booster and try to pass that level without using boosters. Well that's me.
The reason I remember about your post is when I took break i managed to come in second place in weekly race. There was 20 points difference between me and 1st place. I went to sleep, the next day the 1st place player(no name just player) took over by 160 points. I call them possessed player, when I get closer to win them they get possessed and go vrooom 🏃♀️. I experienced something similar to yours so i remember.
Ps @Tetem' I've got nothing against you. If you feel I've offended you in any way I'm sorry.
Thank you for your input @QueenB
I really think you should remove the Game Expert title as it is very misleading. The game experts are no more experienced at the game than any other person here, but sometimes their answers makes it seem like they have personal contact with King. This kind of response from a person that has no more standing in this community than me or anyone else can easily mislead people.
Thank you and I do appreciate that moderators and game experts are trying to help and can only tell us what they are being told and allowed to publish here. If I am certain that an answer is incorrect or not satisfactory then it is the source who is at fault, not the messenger. I get that, thank you. My apologies for making it sound otherwise.
I'm impressed @zeus77 ! Your memory is better than mine. I had forgotten that. No, I certainly never got an answer to that one. It still baffles me.
Hi everyone,
I’ve been following this thread and want to step in to clarify a few things.
The information shared by our Game Experts about how the Weekly Contest works is accurate and reflects what we've been given internally. That said, I also understand that it doesn’t always feel that way in practice, especially when you’re seeing repeat players or noticing patterns that seem far from random.
We absolutely want players to speak up when something feels off, and it’s clear from this discussion that there’s some confusion and frustration around how the matching works. That feedback is being noted and shared with the relevant teams again.
I also want to remind everyone that our Game Experts and Moderators are here to help. They don’t make decisions about how features are designed or implemented, but they do take time out of their day to support the community. Let’s make sure we keep the conversation respectful, even when we disagree ☺️
If you have more examples or screenshots that can help us push this further, please keep sharing. That kind of input is actually really valuable 🙏
Thanks for raising your concerns and for being part of the conversation.
If my memory serves correct, do you remember asking this SAME TETEM over a week or two ago saying you've got a new account and within a week you completed 750 or so levels but the system managed to outsmart you and you were unable to get 1st place in the podium in weekly race ? How does the system new you could complete 750ish levels ? Did you get a reply to that ?
Hello @Tetem Please could you explain why two unrelated accounts see exactly the same players. They do use the same Wifi but are different accounts on different devices with different playing styles and at different levels. Kindly explain this to me. These screenshot are both taken this minute:
Hello @Tetem' your confirmation doesn't really mean anything and is directly contradictory to the reality that is shown in our games.
There may well be people out there in a group of players that do not receive opponents that are new, but none of them are posting
Everyone that posts in this forum is saying the same thing. 'Why am I am playing against nothing but new players.'
My Weekly Contest is filled each and every week by players whose Weekly Contest score equals their level attained in the game. That or they have played less than two hundred levels. Additionally every opponent in my Contest is from India.
When I first started this game as a new player I completed 203 levels in one week. As a 'Game Expert' you should understand that it is not possible to complete that many levels a week once you have completed 3500 levels or so. This means that the Weekly Contest is now skewed to new players.
Random should mean that I see players from different countries and different areas of the game map. The fact that I don't makes it evident that the distribution of opponents in the Weekly Contest is not random.
Furthermore far too many people have posted about this problem for anyone in authority to claim that there is any randomness involved and be believed when a player over level 6000 has nothing but new players all from the same country each and every week.

I have found it hard to clear level 18740 without boosters.
I got a new phone and I've lost all of my history. I was on level 6,658. How do I get that back?
