  • Any game on Facebook can and will be exploited. I haven't taken part in any game-based competitions, as its not worth wasting my time.

    They also claimed the maximum you can get is 3800 and that the amount of tools changes whilst you play.

    Well I was pretty adamant I did not believe this and I went and researched and downloaded the software most of these cheats use to test the theory.

    If you were using the software most of the cheats use why couldn't you get to the top of the leader board?


    No need to research anything, instead of playing the game just count the number of correct items as they fall, I counted 75, which gives you a potential bonus total of 3,000 and an item score of 750, an overall total of 3,750. Your method of cheating clearly cost you lots of points.

    (Not saying people don't cheat but the potential high score is far higher than yours, just 50 items has a possible high score of 1,875)

    MJM you seem hell bent on defending RAC & Cheats but I refuse to believe you are this !!!!!!.

    I am joint top of the leaderboard with maximum points bar ONE person who I stated is on this forum and has a Mathematics and Computer Engineering degree and probably has some good hacking abilities on the game.

    I didn't bother counting the items as I didn't need to as you can clearly see I was able to click every single one of them that fell and got a PERFECT scoreline, the best scoreline you possibly can get in the game.

    So tell us all how you can get 3000 bonus points with your 75 drops. Since the bonus points go 25 for 5,50 for 10,75 for 15,100 for 20 and then reset themselves. Even 60 drops would only give you 750 bonus points. Add to that your other supposed 15 drops and you have 900 bonus points + your 750 normal points and that equals 1650. Which is less than the maximum score you can get.....

    So go ahead explain.
  • RAC have removed this game from their Facebook page because of all the complaints about hackers. Which is a shame, but it seems that after they changed the game to deter hackers, they still couldn't prevent people from "speedhacking", meaning that the entire leaderboard eventually got filled up with people with the identical score of 1680 (The best score possible). And since the T&Cs say that in the result of a tie at the top of the leaderboard, the first person to get the top score would win, then it's clearly not worth anyone's time (even hackers) to play the game after the first person gets 1680 points. It's just a shame that they weren't able to create a better game that wasn't so easily exploited.
