    It looks like they are an assortment from all holidays/events, and regular days as well, not just Christmas.
    Yes, they seem to be. I won a cute Halloween deco. Not much HP, but cute enough for next year.

    Two decos I got that came up as prizes that were not on the page, how?

    I went past the trophy and the locomotive, but still got them, bah ruddy humbug!
    Out of all them you want me to spend £50k gold to move on what I made carefully sure was not there on my spin already?
    Anything else GGS, a blood vessel perhaps to suck on over the festive season!

    You know where santa's wheel can go the rest of the game is following close by ....

  • Thanks for the discussion and explanations.  Text size too small for me, but it added a fair amount of challenge to the game.

    Are you sure that when you "moved past them" on the wheel that you actually clicked the "Donate" button before spinning?  I only ask because I made that mistake last year. I slid the slider all the way to the right for the 189,000 candles and got to the TeaCup Ride (which is the last prize on the wheel at the top of the tree), but I then immediately hit "Spin" and it went back to the BOTTOM of the Quality 9 decos and I got the "Ancient Stones".. Then immediately slapped myself because I realized I forgot to hit Donate before spinning. :)

    We all have our moments. :)

    Now you mention it, not entirely sure no, I will accept the deco I don't want and try again later.
    Could be me, didn't realise I had to go past what I was interested in, bit confusing that.
    Thank you for the explanation.


  • Just getting this message pop up now and when I got rid of the error trying to donate, it took 30,000 of my gold to spin.  There was no other way out of it,  only spin or donate, never said it was going to take gold to spin again this time either.

    Try pressing those numbers below the timer. Press the number 2. Does it help?

    I am not entirely sure what are you trying to say, but you can only spin the wheel once in 24 hours. If you spin it earlier, it costs gold.

    I am trying to say I could not accept the deco I didn't want,  the error message shown in my post came up, so it cost me 30,000 gold to spin, without showing the cost of the respin on the wheel, not sure how else I can put it!

    O.K Now I got it. It is meant to be like that.
    You have to either accept the deco that you have got (wanted or not) or pay gold for another try. In that case, the unwanted deco is removed from the list and you can spin the wheel once again. If you are still unsatisfied with the deco, you can again refuse and pay gold for the next spin, but gold prize increases. So you can theoretically get an exact deco you want for a very large amount of gold or just be satisfied with the deco that wheel gives you for free.

    Can somebody please post a screenshot of what decs are available at the very very top? Im curious if it's worth for me to go donate beyond the balloons.

    I'll grab you the whole row as soon as my wheel resets and I can donate again - and after I have a nap. :)

    Sorry, still a bit confusing. Did you get the message before or after getting a screen like this and which button did you press (left or right). And can you please check how many new decos and which decos do you have in your dropbox from santa today.


  • Can somebody please post a screenshot of what decs are available at the very very top? Im curious if it's worth for me to go donate beyond the balloons. 

    @Michiru (GB1) After you accept your balloon deco and Santa goes for a 24 hour nap, the image shown is for the top decos at first (the teacup ride is the final one) - After a while the image changes down to the quality 8 decos & the gold amount to spin to gets lower & it drops down through each quality over the 24 hours.

    hi i did, thanks anyway for your help but im not doing it, i just come on the game now to start an upgrade then leave to go play other games. but thanks. :)
  • @TheJ.mulcahy (GB1) You still have us a bit baffled about the sequence of events, which led to you losing 30K gold, but I notice the timestamps on your posts & you appear to have spun the wheel 9 hours earlier, in which case, Santa would still have been asleep, did you wake him up from a screen that looked a bit like this one, except the progress bar was more filled in the timer a lot further along, possibly with 30,000 showing in the box where that one shows 439,000?

    ok done what is says, i added some items, spun, got a decoration and it brought up a timer for when i can add or spin again, timer ran out i watched it so i could spin again but it gave me no option to add or spin, it just said i was too late try to be faster, same for another person in the coop, this as to be the worst thing added. As you can see no timer, and nothing to do with it no spin ??


    or is it expecting me to pay gold for a decoration ??? because if it is im no way paying approx £50 to get a random decoration.
    Mine is doing the exact same thing.  I never get an option to add items from my own inventory, it is just the gold selection.  It is either just the dash with no timer or "I'm too late, try to be faster next time.".  I actually stayed on the Workshop for 5:37 and then it just went to the dash and gave me the "try to be faster next time" message.  No difference today, same thing.

    @Tex-2-Step (INT1)
    Do you remember approximately the hour when you took first spin? The wheel should unlock in 24h. If it does not, let me know.

    The timers can be a bit confusing as they are more of them and they activate from right to left. So you should  press the coloured numbers to find one with the active timer.

    @uksharon (GB1) @Tex-2-Step (INT1) In that screenshot, you see the numbers below the timer bar, those are the quality levels of the decos, 9 has been selected and it is saying that you have run out of time to pay gold and get a quality 9 deco without giving any donations. If you try clicking on some of the other numbers, you will find they still have a timer for some of them until the red bar is filled up and then it will be 24 hours since your last spin & you can donate again & spin without using gold.

    That is more what happened, I left it overnight to decide whether or not to accept the deco or not play it anymore, except it didn't say to wake up santa when I logged in this morning. 

    What I had this morning was an option to donate extra goods at the top I could slide the bar along to donate but it would not accept anymore goods when I clicked to donate.... or I had a spin button at the bottom with no gold amount showing at all either top or bottom,  the only other thing was the spin button as if it had reset, only it obviously hadn't reset properly hence the error message I got and then the gold being taken as if I had chosen to move the deco along, which had changed from the co op trophy dec to a small flower dec.
    I know it is confusing, sorry about that.



  • I think you can see in this picture that the donate slider was there and no gold showing
  • Tex-2-Step (INT1)Tex-2-Step (INT1) INT1 Posts: 179
    I'm not sure what time I did Santa's Workshop the first time, but it has been showing timers on all the deco levels.  Now I get a timer on level 2 but all the rest of the levels are just dashes:  no timer at all.



    All the rest are just like the immediate above shot, just different colors on the bar.

    I will let you know if it changes.

    Thank you for your help.
  • @Tex-2-Step (INT1) Yes, that is correct, when that 3 hours runs out, you will get the other page when you open the event, the one where you can donate & spin without using gold.  :)
  • Tex-2-Step (INT1)Tex-2-Step (INT1) INT1 Posts: 179

    OK, that makes sense to me.  What made it so confusing is that yesterday (after I donated my mining certs) all the other levels had timers on them but today none but level 2. 

    Sometimes things can bit a bit confusing, especially as we get older ...  ;)


    Thank you for your patience and help; truly appreciated!

    I am so not happy with this Santa workshop, I ended up paying out in gold 3 times cause it would not spin at all unless I did, only to get a item in the end that I already have and did not want, I am so not liking this one nope.
  • Xcution (INT1)Xcution (INT1) INT1 Posts: 1,183
    i have a question here. i used the wheel today first time, as i said above, and it gave me option to donate dollar mining licences. is there a way to choose what you want to give? or is it just one pre-set thing for the day (because i'm not gonna give gold either), and that's it? or is there a way to give more than just one thing? (like combo of dung and...idk.. carp fish)
