  • Whoever said it was like Groundhog day is right. I have 4 to get and have wasted hours just to be told they've slipped through the net. When those who will get the ultimate prize will have already won all the minor prizes, the whole 'game' seems a bit lopsided. Just finally, it isn't a game really is it? It's not like a treasure hunt when if you find it you catch it. If you find a squid, then you don't get it, then you have no chance to try again. It's the most frustrating thing. Why not let people have 3 attempts on each page, rather than just one a day? At least that way you'd feel you have a chance. :/

    Surely you would be more annoyed if you had 3 attempts and still didnt catch them!
    I dont really think it takes that much time up. Most of them iv found myself very quickly and ones i cant have been posted on here anyway. It kills a bit of time whilst I dont have much else going on. Iv won £6 and if thats all i get then I'm happy enough.
  • As someone pointed out a little while ago, you know if you are going to get a hit or a miss depending on whether you get the hand or the cursor when you try to catch it. Knowing when you see the hand you're going to miss it is frustrating too. Can't wait to get my life back when this game is over :smiley:!!!

    I wonder if refreshing the page refreshes the chance of winning

    I would be happy if I could get the fiver or even the £15. I suppose I have got no chance of getting the £100. Could do with some luck, had a pretty bad year so far.

    having had a spell of 8 days without catching a squid, I finally caught Squidmo yesterday, I guess perseverance in the key. One prize so far, but I guess there is a day or so left, hopefully time for another squid to catch
