    Unpopular Opinion: I think the game has been a huge success. The site has had a big issue today but generally has had barely any problems. The number of people playing the game seems to have exceeded their expectations, and while the final few squids are always frustrating that's just in the nature of how this works (much like McDonalds Monopoly).

    It's been a mix of fun and frustrating, but I think QuidCo can be pleased with the level of attention and overall impact.
    i think the main complaint has been that those who have already won £121 are the only ones who are able to win the £1000 top prize, surely it would have been better to enter anyone with say 10 out of 15 into a random prize draw at the end therefore giving those who didn't win any vouchers a chance to get something at the end
    by the way, ive managed to win £1 which is £1 more than i win in most competitions so i cant be too disappointed

    Squid rock final one is cult beauty...
    That's the quickest I have found 19 squids and not captured any... Krakens only on four pages as far as I can see
    I found him on 5. But I don’t know the 4 you have. 
    Edit.  I have 5 in my list. 
    Help for hero’s is on Hukd. But I did not get a pop up

    Not one :(! Oh well, at least I get my life back :)!!

  • Went to every page, followed all five clues for each squid and missed them all.  Is it over yet?  I can't take any more!

    Is there a point to re-visit these pages after I missed the squids?  IE do they re-appear later on these same pages or do they appear on random pages?

    As far as I can tell, they only appear once and on the same 5 pages as for eveyone. Frequently I can only find 4 though.

    I second this, I tried keeping the pages open and refreshing every hour until the clue changed but they never reappeared.

    Over on Hukd. It was said you will only get a pop up if you have not visited the page in the previous 24 hrs
    someone said they genuinely visited to get cash back and not fair they did not get a pop up
    q rep said he would forward that info for future games 
    edited to add
    that all said I did get a pop up twice at Argos when I kept getting signed out.  Their system was obviously not working correctly tonight
