Is it just me or does this happen to you too? I'll check the scoreboard before I play, looking at the LOWEST score in hopes of beating it. Today when I beat the lowest score listed, I went back

Is it just me or does this happen to you too? I'll check the scoreboard before I play, looking at the LOWEST score in hopes of beating it. Today when I beat the lowest score listed, I went back to check to see if I was listed, and suddenly the lowest score was changed to several thousand points above what it was when I started...today it was about 15 minutes earlier. This has happened frequently. Like in the Betty White game, I was up to a score of 90,000, the highest was 120,000. Now the high score is 750,000....REALLY? I love me some Betty, but come on.... and how could someone possibly have scored the high score listed in Treasure Hunt....I think it shows a billion...lol |

In Response to Something fishy about the score board: Yes, I wonder how in the world someone got over 21,000 points on MahJongg Toy Chest. I'm lucky to get to 9000! |

Posted by pjane143 I've thought the same thing as these scores are unbelievable. I think what they're doing is to take the cumulative scores of those playing games. Someone who has been playing them every day for months will come up with scores that are hundreds of thousands. It makes no sense as the daily score board should just report the highest scores for that day. The only onesthat I regularly play, Metro and Treasure Hunt, have normal daily scores. AARP needs to have a better system of keeping scores.

I would think that: a) either people have found a way to turn off the timer so they can rack up tremendously high scores, or b) a lot of the unrealistic high scores belong to the people who originally created the games in the first place and came as part of the package that AARP purchased. Years back, AARP asked if the gamers wanted to reset all the scores back to zero and start fresh. I don't kinow what ever happened with that. Obviously nothing!! |

Well I'm glad to know I'm not the only one questioning these outlandish scores. Like so many of you, I've played some of these games on other sites and never gotten anywhere close or seen anywhere close to these scores. I expected better from AARP games. |
