There is chatter on other boards about people winning fireworks in a bottle for doing the fireworks game, audubon game and checkers.  As of this post, I haven't run into ANYONE who has won a bottle.  However, there is one pic that was posted elsewhere of the fireworks game bottle.  Nobody seems to know the rhythm or rhyme to winning these things.  Just an FYI.  If anyone obtains credible/concrete info on these bottles and how to win them, please feel free to share.

Enigma was on the map answering only some of the questions about these bottles:

She said they are not given out randomly.  - so not like the crossword?

She said all the games have bottles prize. - she didn't answer exactly which other than fireworks and all games.

She said to play all the games alot.- said if we play alot we could figure it out

She said They will be around a long time.

--------------------
so that was about all people could get her to say; just enough with not much info.

I wonder if we can win more then one of each bottle to help others out as well?

See now this is why VFK should POST on their homepage.  Everyone has no idea what's going on as usually.  :td:  :madder:  Bring on the lag and crashing!

There is some sort of "SECRET" being alluded to about how to 'win' the bottles that each game gives out.
The 'hint' here I THINK was to "Play the games ALOT" those that have been will win SOONer? than later
maybe since ScarlettPixie says she plays checkers alot...she got one from that game....
Ormonddude plays AWA ALOT...and he has 2 of those bottles so far....you can win multipals!
Seems inside of each is something related to the game played....AWA has a jeep inside/checkers the board
Past game play MAY 'count or add up' to some set amount ....I DO NOT know if there is a message or IF these bottles Just show up in your inventory?
Many traders do not play games and therefore must play alot to win leveling the field some to those who play daily?or trade alot away to those rewarding them for their playing? who knows?
It does get everyone out interacting and working together playing games....BUT are we having FUN YET?!!
Since we must "play each game ALOT" they better stay around "a long time" OMG with lag and old VMK computers being used and clones now playing along ...Look out below
Guess it is another item I do not have time to help others with let alone get one of each for my "collection" :( GL
to each of you and Happy New Year!

Um...am I the only one who thinks this whole bottle thing is absolutely INSANE?!!  NOBODY knows how to get the bottles.  All we know is that it's NOT random, and it doesn't matter if you get the high score or win a round or not!  I've heard people say they've played all day, played all night, played twenty games, won, lost, etc.  This is...a bad word which I'll refrain from saying in case my kids are watching.  Flame is passing into:   :bm:

Flamanar...I'm gonna make a game and not tell anyone how to win.  :hmm:

ROFL.  Well done ;)

This thing is actually sad.  It's taking people away from spending time with friends and family.  It's also unnerving a LARGE amount of people (hang out for a bit in the game lobbies...you'll see what I mean).  Why they're doing it like this is beyond my comprehension.  No offense to VFK (we all know they make mistakes and are human), but I'm chalking this up as the biggest blunder by VFK.  Ever.

Worse:  if they do decide to make it really easy to get the bottles (and the new magic), they'll infuriate the people who spent days upon days playing games without winning.

Whatever.

It is a game in a bottle that is so hard to see. Not going to waste my time on this. Since I do not trade seems pointless until someone figures it out :)

It is nice to have a "trophy" for the game you play. A nice reward for hours spent. But why waste your time on something you really never play to get a game in a bottle.

Back to the sane world I go. Good luck to all who pursue this seemingless pointless endevour.

Hopefully someone will figure it out :) Then you will know you need some outrageous number like 5000 games to get it :) Happy clicking :)

Yeah, it seems pointless.  Yet the collectors among us want to have at least 1.  Also, there was a new magic which was 'discovered' yesterday called 'Focus magic'.  You apparently get this after winning a bottle from each of the 6 minigames in VFK.  Sigh...

rofl that is insane. How long would you have to play each game to get that. Now we barely have enought time to build rooms. Since we are hunting and questing and hunting and questing. I think this is not a bad idea VFK has.

It means there is something for everyone on there. If you like the games you get rewarded. If you like to hunts you get rewarded.  It gives you something to work  towards over a very very long time. Which is good to keep the players aiming to get another item.
