toy mahjonng

Again, I am going to be persistent on this game and agree, no matter how you try to play this particular game..it cheats the player 99% of the time and the game is NEVER fixed. I have tried all the tips and helpful hints and the game still cheats. I like the game, but for goodness sake, PLEASE get this game to work correctly and NO it’s not my imgination either! The game is INCONSISTENT! Switching the views does NOTHING but only gives the player a different view. The tiles freeze at any time.

Almost every time I  play something prevents me from winning, either the game will freeze when it is evident I will win such as 2 moves are left and one of the matching pieces freezes so that I cant move. That happens alot. It used to be my fav game but its starting to get to me. It just does not want me to win I guess

I also got that message too, highhopes, but evidently we are imagining these things on this particular game. This game will never be fixed as it has had problems for months with many other members having similar problems. Evidently, if we forget about the issues with this game, the game will improve itself on its own.

I just finished playing about 20 games on this toy mahjonng and never looked to see the scores, I just loked and it never gave me any poins. I notice it had a new script after each game saying good job. Boy that was about an hour for nothing

I wish I understood the inner workings of computers and the web better than I do.  As long as I’ve been coming on, there’ve been complaints about various games freezing or not working properly.

Sometimes, it’s just lack of knowledge–like the people who couldn’t believe you could ever get all the way through Mahjongg and Mahjongg Dark Dimensions because they hadn’t made it through after playing for 2 weeks.  Some of them are like the problems you’re having with freezing–they make no sense.  Is it the game?  Is it the website?  Is it the combination of computer settings and their interaction with the HSN website?   When I first started, it seemed like every response from HSN was "clear cache and cookies."  I haven’t seen that so much lately.

What I don’t understand at all is why so many people are having problems while I’ve experienced almost no problems.  What’s the difference?  I just played 3 or 4 games of Toy Box Mahjongg.  The tiles froze on one of them.  In fact, what it looked like happened is that the tiles didn’t finish shuffling on a guitar switch.  I clicked the switch view button and the tiles seemed to finish shuffling and then I could play. (I noticed because the 2 tiles I was clicking on didn’t match after I clicked "change view.") I don’t understand why it isn’t consistent for everyone.  Then it would be easy to say it’s the game that’s the problem.

Most of the few problems I’ve had aren’t what anyone else is reporting–like periodically getting a message from Norton Security on IE that something unusual is happening with the website and suggesting I not continue on it.  MrBucket thinks that a lot of these problems are tied to a bunch of tracking software that seems to be on the website.  He certainly could be right.

Okay..I meant to say "NO MORE MOVES" AND yes, the clock runs out with time left to play. When I change the views that doesn’t help move the tiles. I wouldn’t be say this if it hadn’t been for another thread about this very game and the problems I was experiencing others were also having the same problems. So it isn’t just my experience with this game, other members are having the same problems. For my experience, the tiles freeze CONSTANTLY which delays me from continuing the game. I clearly remember some time ago, even Cindy819 had problems with this game discussing pretty much the same problem of freezing tiles. Sometimes by changing the view helps along with using the guitars to help change the tiles around, and sometimes it doesn’t do a thing. Basically the game is inconsistent and it cheats the player many times.

Lizzie, some parts of your comment are incorrect and many many times I have had more moves left on the board with the tiles and the tiles will NOT move or they freeze so you can’t click on them. I constantly click on the frozen tiles hoping they will move and they dont, then I get a time’s up dialog box indicating the game is over. Baloney..I had more moves to make. Also, the Times up box comes up when I have more than 1 minute left to play. These are some of the issues on this game and they have not been corrected since many others are having the same problems and has been going on for a long period of time without fixing this game to be accurate and honest. The other games, I have not seen any problems but this specific game is bogus. I also wanted others to know they are not imaginging things but other members have also complainted MONTHS ago. There are no instructions to this game…are we mind readers to know how the game is played?? I keep hoping Arkadium corrects this game of its little quirks of cheating the players. I understand this is NOT Hsn but Hsn has hired this company and needs to contact them over some of the games not working. In my opinion, I do not think this is too much to ask to have games on the Hsn website to work properly after reading many members are voicing the same complaints.

I have had lots of times when I run out of time and I have had lots of time when it says I’ve run out of moves.  So far it hasn’t done that to me incorrectly.  Remember no more moves means there are no pieces visible that can be moved, either because a matching tile isn’t showing or a matching tile isn’t availble because it has no free side.

This is one game that doesn’t reward effort for tickets very well.  As I understand it, the tickets rewarded are set by Arkadium, not by HSN.  I think there are several games which do this as well as there are several games that reward a lot of tickets for very little effort–as in Alu’s Revenge.

Please Hsn either correct this game of Toy Mahjonng or eliminate it…RARELY does it work, always cheats the player and rarely does the player win. IF you happen to win, the game gives a measly score for all the player’s efforts. Evidently after all the complaints,  this game is still up and not corrected. It’s a great game but it needs to be corrected of its problems.

Until recently I never had this problem but now almost every other time I play Toy Chest, just when I am about to win, the game wont let me move or it will say no more moves when there is. Frustrating. Especially when I have a couple pieces left that do match, but game freezes. 

Hi Egg1.  Did the box say "Time’s Up"?

Sometimes it ends when there are  "No More Moves"

You may already know that but I just wanted to mention it.

I have gotten that box at times when I thought there were other moves but there is no way of checking.
