No Goldbar/booster game is safe around here.

Wow.. after more than 10,500 levels, it turns out the Episodes Race isn't a regular feature in this game either. The race to be the first to complete 15 levels, to win 5-15 goldbars.

It Suddenly ran out of time for me today, now not in the game. After 2+ years, and thinking it was a permanent feature, it turns out.. it's not. Very disappointed.

(what a coincidence) It's always the games where I do best that suddenly changes 'rules' for me. It goes away for a while, or becomes limited to only be available for 3-5 days a week.

came here for this - level 4000 and mine stopped today. Tried reloading and restarting my phone and nothing. I’ll play until I run out of gold bars and then done with the game ✅

Apparently it came as a surprise to the site admins too, so it could potentially be a temporary glitch.

I don't have my hopes up, since it didn't just disappear but said time had run out. I suspect another of the in-game games will now be only temporarily available for some days in the week.

I still think (hope) it’s because of a problem. Some players may nit be able to claim their gold bars from the Race. We’ve seen before that when a feature causses problems they temporarily remove it to find the cause and fix it. So let’s be positive 😃

No glitch. The game has activated again. It's now only available for 3 days, from Friday through the weekend, for those where it's no longer available the whole week.

You must collect your good when you reach the finish line, of you won any gold. That's not new. What is new is the limited time. The race will just go away when time runs out, even if you're only one level from the finish line.

I don't think you will get any gold, even if you were in the lead, since you didn't finish an episode.

Hmmmm that is interesting 🤔 I haven't heard of a timer on the Soda Race before.

Maybe the test means that the Studio wants to see how many players will complete the Race in one go to win the prize (I always finish my race asap since I always go for 15 gold haha) Are the prizes still the same? 15 gold bars, 1 and 1 gold bar?

Yes, exactly the same: 5-15 gold, and the 1 and 1 gold. At least the game kept me in the Master group where I was, so it's still a race for 15 gold for me.

All of us who lost the Soda race as a 24/7 weekly game probably has the same now. It's only available 3 days a week. When you click on the game, to open the race board, there is a timer on it.

Game activates during Friday, and then the Soda race is available for 72 hours. So many of us lost 4 days of Soda Race.
