The mini-games for sure have switched over from bottles.  They are now awarding PINS, that are animated.  Depending on the mini-game of course.  I have seen them all so far, adorable pins and great attention to detail!  Fireworks is animated with fireworks going off, Audubon has a jeep that rolls along the road, Checkers has checkers jumping, Night Fighters has the jets chasing each other, Space Pirates has a ship sailing and Laser Tag.   Good Luck All!    


Not sure what the Enchantment is yet.  


ETA:  PULSE is the new Enchantment










Audubon Pin





Checkers Pin





Night Fighters





Fireworks Pin





Space Pirates





Laser Tag

Thanks Astro!  

I did see a Night Fighters Pin "in motion" in the game - cute idea for the animated pins for each from what you've described.

I can see where some people will love these pins; - I, myself, am not a biggie on pins in the game since we can only wear so many pins/magic.  I much prefer furnish or bottles.

Wondering what the "magic" will be in the end though    Good luck everyone!!!  


Side note: They do have some creative and beautiful pins in the game from various quests/epics/holidays --I would love if they would allow us a "Board to Display" our pins in one of our rooms though.  Then, I'd be a little more wild about receiving "non-magic" pins  

-----------------


EDIT:  For those trying to keep track of what's needed to win these pins:


Audubon Pin (birds)  I heard 20,000 credits is needed -- I received a pin in my 7th game with combined total of 22,530 credits

#         Credits
game 1 - 3,748
game 2 - 1,860
game 3 - 2,714
game 4 -    198
game 5 -    934
game 6 - 8,596
game 7 - 4.480
TOTAL  22,530 credits


---------------------------------------------

Fireworks:  I heard that you need 4,500 credits or 45,000 total points:

I just got my Fireworks pin.  I can confirm it is at about 45,000 total points on this one.  I played 7 games.  At least 6,000 points, and up.  Good Luck everyone!

It took me 8 games to reach a total of 4,684 credits and earn the pin.

------------------------------------------------

Checkers:  Heard you need 10 wins against 10 different people
     I played 9 games (unless I forgot 1) against different people and got pin.

----------------------------------------------

Night Fighters/Space Pirates/Laser Tag:  Heard each of these was 2,500 to 5,000 credits to win pin

Night Fighters:  received pin after 5 games; total 2,900 credits

game 1 -   500
game 2 -   600
game 3 -   600
game 4 -   600
game 5 -   600
Total - 2,900


-------
Space Pirates: recently heard you had to earn maybe 2,500 to 5,000 credits from this (how my spare got the pin I have no idea but I wasn't keeping track of her anyway - but she shouldn't have had many points!)

Finally got the Space Ship Battle Pin with total of 3,630 credits....I must sail a slow ship if it's supposed to award at 2,500  

--------

Laser Tag: guessing it might be about 2,500 credits to get the pin only because I finally reached 2,822 credits.

Took me 19 games in total to reach the goal.
My first 15 games were played by me with 2 spares: sad to say they all totaled up at 1,482 credits
My last 4 games were played with Pix's help as a willing target which got me to reach the final count at 2,822 credits.  Thanks Pix! 

This last pin also gave the Pulse Enchantment - woot!

I just got my Fireworks pin.  I can confirm it is at about 45,000 total points on this one.  I played 7 games.  At least 6,000 points, and up.  Good Luck everyone!

Congrats Astro!

[Aurorasparkle]

Thanks for all this info so far.  I can't believe some people already have the magic...I was never able to even get the last magic and probably won't this time but I think this new magic looks really neat.   

[ScarlettPixie]

What a great idea for the pins! I hope these will be popular!

I'm going to take it slow and easy on this magic, no rushing since it will be here for a long long time and can take my time and not stress out over pixals!

Congrats to all on who got the pins so far!

I'm not sure on the magic yet, but hey its magic... I do miss new magic in the stores too... Midsummer been here forever!

[Aurorasparkle]

To just confirm since I didn't get the checkers bottle last time, do those 10 wins need to be all in a row or just 10 wins total?

Okay I feel like a complete moron, my dd and I attempted night fighters and we were so bad we couldn't even hit each other even when we purposely tried to.  In two games I never was able to hit her at all.  She hit me in the first game got 10 pts but in 2nd game she hit me 10 times but yet got 0 pts...guess I don't understand why and I just can't figure out how in the heck to play this game.

I think it's just 10 wins total against different people for checkers.

Not sure how the night fighters work.
And somehow, my spare got the Pirate ship pin; not me  so I'm still there

Oh Fun, lol        thank you for the giggle you silly girl.  HUGS!!!     

btw congrats on your pins too!      and Congrats to everyone else trying!! 


Aurora:  Not sure either.  I just got Night Fighters.  Played 6 games.  Me and 2 clones.  My points are sad in all these games, but heck it works!  None of my games were over 600 points in Night Fighters.  Hope that helps!

[flamanar]

This is the best magic we've had in quite awhile.  It makes Focus look like a joke (of course, I was never a fan of the 'time to see the eye Dr.' magic).  Looks like all the strategies from the bottles still apply.  For reference on how to win the games and point totals, see the old thread:

http://www.vmknobs.com/index.php?topic=5986.0

I might update the totals there, too as I work through these games...yet again.  LOL 

I think this magic will be MUCH more popular and sought after than Focus.  But then again, what do I know? 

FLAME  <<---

[flamanar]

Adding that it looks like they did away with the separate Night Fighter ship prizes.  At least for now.  Just a heads up

FLAME <<---

[funfly]

Ok, I have only Laser Tag to finish up.  Tried to play a few times with "friends" but to my surprise each time some random people have somehow entered the game in progress and shoot the living crap out of me!    Don't they know it takes me forever in that game already?

Fun:  Did you select "Close Quarters" on the drop down menu, when you start a game.  Rather than "Open Grid"  on Level Selection (under the Start Game button)??  I always choose Close Quarters when playing clones - I've never had anyone enter my games that way.  Not sure if that helps or not?  Worth a try, and good luck!

Is that what that means?    Thanks Astro. Gosh, I should have tried that before  

I seem to not know this game well at all - I'm lucky to get 100 - 120 per game against my own clones!

[flamanar]

LOL.  The Laser Tag thing is a bug.  Doesn't matter which grid you choose.  We've had it happen in 'close quarters', too.  We just try to pick an entrance FAR away from any other occupied entrance if possible.  If someone else mysteriously shows up in our game, we just refresh.  Not worth wasting time trying to get the prize when someone else is working against you

I have some totals ready to post of when we received the new prize in various games, but I'm waiting to do Laser Tag and Fireworks first, so will update when I get those totals.

FLAME  <<---

[funfly]

Finally  finished these games and won the Pulse Enchantment - new record for me in that I got it done this weekend  - actually was shocked that I did. 

I updated the second post in this thread with the results/credits that I had. Not sure if everyone will be in the same 'ballpark' but I hope it helps anyone with their questions of how many are needed.


And special thank you to ScarlettPixie for assisting me in the last 4 games I needed in Laser Tag! Those were the best scores in all those games I did.  Without you being a willing target Pix, it would have taken me all night and then some! 

[PrincessWendyBird]

Woot for the new pins and prizes. We haven't even had a chance to begin yet but I was able to get a glance of the pins in action real quick yesterday before we went to church. Too cute.  I can't wait to see the new enchantment. It looks really cool.

As for the Night Fighters, I know that feeling Fun! When it happened to King and I one time I started typing
"NO", "NO!", "Where did you come from?", and "What are you doing - stop shooting!".  I think they thought I was crazy until King typed that we were playing a friendly game. 

Thanks to Astro for adding to the guide for these mini-game prizes. Maybe our real life will actually allow me to finish the mini-game guide before these prizes go poof. 

[flamanar]

Lol. Too funny Wendy.

Well done Fun.  Congrats.  Looks like I'll skip posting my totals since they would be overkill.  There should be enough information around NOBS for people to get through the mini-games as it is.

GL everyone.  Hope you all get lots of the new magic and/or pins.

[Astro]

Woohoo Fun!       also, tyvm for playing a game of laser tag with me!   

good grief!! - space pirates took me every bit of 5,000!!!

laser tag we won't talk about, cause I'm not done yet.      (really really dislike this game)

audubon for me was at about 22,000.

night fighters was about 2,630.

checkers was 9 wins - idk how many points, cause I didn't keep track. 

[PrincessWendyBird]

Hugs Astro!   Send me a line and we can meet up for laser tag. I make a good couple of targets.   No, really, I'll put 2 people in the game and just "wiggle" back and forth as you shoot person 1 until they almost poof. Then do the same to person 2. Just keep switching back and forth until time runs out and the score is enough to make it bearable.  

The kids love helping with laser tag as long as they get to be the lone shooter!
