Aws, that's unfortunate. :< Hope I'm not the only one who finds it effective.

It worked for me! What I did was spam the 3,4,5,6 keys all the time and turn to 1 and 2 only when needed because 6 keys at once is too much for a human being with 2 hands.

edit: second time I tackled it this way: focus on the center keys (2,3,4 most often) and only turn to 1,5,6 when needed.

Why is the mini game so hard!!! My fingers don't move that fast!!!

Okay, I've just come from playing the mini-game, and yes, I admit that it's difficult. I did manage to make it through the entire thing, but I needed three tries until I figured out how to plan my way through it. And really, that's all I think it is: planning and coordination. Basically, as long as you remember what finger you've got on what key, you can try to coordinate what you press at what time. By the end of the event, I think that maybe people will have enough experience with it to get through it, but, that being said, I don't know how possible it will be to fill up your gauge entirely just based on the 5 free games a day that the game provides.

I managed to play and finish one round (I noticed that bashing a few buttons at the same time worked for me), but getting only 15 points for a single game?

Alchemy game isn't even the worst part of this event, and that tells something.

Oh my god, there IS a way you can win the game!

Literally, I just tried repeatedly pushing all the buttons at the same time, and it worked. Just keep jamming the keys, guys, it doesn't take penalty for pushing them too early.

I'll try this tomorrow. I already used all my tries for today and they aren't getting my gold coins.

Also, in retrospect, for those of you that have accounts on My Candy Love as well, the mini-game there is way harder, especially for someone like me who has a laptop but no connected mouse because we prefer the mouse pad--yup, the struggle is real. *shrugs*

Yass I'm glad it worked for you too!

Well, I won't repeat what already have been said about how horrible the mini-game is or anything about alchemy. What's really driving me nuts it is clothes shop.
I have waited a year to purchase items I didn't manage to get during 2018 event (shooting star top and hair). And so today I go in the shop and... I SEE ONLY THE ITEMS THAT I ALREADY HAVE! So all these 12 month of waiting (in Azkaban!) for nothing?! WTF Beemoov?!

Also, has anyone found any alchemy ingredients through exploration yet?

I like the rewards for this event, but I always struggle with alchemy. It takes so many resources and mana that completing an event like this will most likely be impossible

Nope.

However, I have already found & captured 2/3 companions :D

I've found a master sewing kit. But nothing else yet. Luckily my companion still has energy, so let's see if I'm lucky.

I know I have spent too much time on the computer now :D

I got all 75 points today. Time to get away from the screen and do something with my life!

Edit: but yes I noticed there is no penalty on the last run so to those people having a hard time just smash the numbers and you will be fine ;)

Also, this event is a big mess (well not a big surprise but was hoping they had learned...)

Wow, this is the first time I'm not compelled to get either outfit.

I bought the last two bank outfits cuz they were unique and had clothing pieces that really drew me in. But this one is just huge chunks of flowy garments with little detail. It's so similar to the queen of north christmas outfit and I have all of those pieces. The bodice is kind of nice and the hair is cute but it's not worth buying the whole thing just for the little things I like.

And the free outfit is just awful. Seeing it I had an instant reaction of "ew." The only thing nice is the hair. Maybe some of the pieces will look better by themselves but the outfit as a whole just doesn't look good to me. It pales in comparison to last years three gorgeous outfits with the starry night theme. They set the bar too high for themselves and now they can't reach it again.

The one saving grace is I can buy variations of last year's outfits for maana. That's where all my maana is going to go.

Ooof....I'm glad I'm not alone in not liking how this event turned out. 
I'm excited to search for the companions, but that's about it.  But in general...I'm disappointed.

Impossible minigame... unless you have some piano experience from real life.
Why Beemoov expect everyone to be able to do it? I find it extremely hard, I can't even place my hands on the keyboard comfortably so my fingers are tangled up in eachother after five secoonds.

It's strange: my companion found two of the event companions but their info doesn't appear in the library.

I haven't played the minigame yet but I'm already notlooking forward to it~ Only thing I'm looking forward to getting is that FIRST COMPANION, OMG, THAT THING IS ADORABLE~ *o*

Why do you insist on us using the Alchemy 'minigame' to get the outfits, it sucks

I like the hair of the free outfit, but other than that I'm not too interested in this event.

The minigame feels bad too, or at least kinda awkward to play. I think the most comfortable way I've found to play it is with one hand doing 1-3 at the top of the keyboard, and the other doing 4-6 on the numpad...

GEEEEEZ.  The minigame is, frankly, impossible.  I'm sad I'll miss out of the fun outfits, but this is supposed to be a fun game, not a stressful activity to get intangible crap.  PASS.

The minigame has to be a joke~ Took until the third try to try out the strategy you guys mentioned and yep, smashing all the keys at the same time is indeed the way to go~ What a pathetic "game". If I need to decimate my already broken keyboard to win then good lord will this Event be painful in more ways than one.

Also if someone could hint hint, nudge nudge me to where to find the bait and location for the Ailikamp, I'd be really greatful OvO I assume it can be found anywhere on the map but I'd just like to be certain before I go out and just buy the bait since I'm gonna need  the Maana for the Outfit...

I like the 3 familiars part, first time we get so many with out being Halloween or Christmas events!...But if the first time the alchemy game got such poor feedback why try it again? You should had at least made the gold outfit be the one we can create since that one is rather pretty. But the alchemy one is just not worth it since it looks like the old MLC gag outfits.
