    I'm not sure if this belong in here or in the fun and games section. However, due to people constantly asking questions, I thought I'd write a quite guide to playing the Christmas Town game called "Pot".

    The premise of the game is to select an item from three categories:
    • Alcohol - any alcoholic item in the game (stock up on beer as this is the cheapest)
    • Candy - any candy item in the game (stock up on lollipops as these are cheapest)
    • E Drinks - any type of energy drink (stock up on Santa Shooters as these are cheapest)
    These operate on a rotation basis, which gives you three chances of winning any one game. 

    When the game starts, players will select an item that automatically uploads it into the grid, stacking them next to each other and building up each section (as seen below:



     

    Within this grid, the game will have selected a random square, and if your item is placed on this square then you win all of the items currently in the game:



     

    The game is essentially based on luck, however most people tend to wait until there are around 25 items already placed on the board before they start to place their items as the higher the number of items the more likely the pot is to be won (due to the lack of remaining squares).

    I hope this helps clear it up!

    Wait but it's said in won twice then awarded it to the person who placed the item before mine. Twice now ether that or there's some huge huge lag. Very disappointing seeing your win get given to others

    Thank you! I didn't even realize that I was giving away real items. I tried it 3 times and never could figure it out.

    It changes if you don’t add either a candy or an alcohol item. 

    It just cycles between the 3, so if you start with putting down an energy drink and you always use all 3 attempts then you’ll always start with an energy drink.

    If you don’t wanna pop an energy drink first anymore, just don’t put in either a candy or an alcohol.

    But you’ll start from the one that you don’t put in last, next time. Hope that makes sense.

    Something I've always wondered: why would anyone ever put the first item in a new round of Pot? You can only possibly win the item you just put in!

    yes ,is strange , i think 1 game is between 8 - 15 mins with Random generator  and if u put expesiv things in, the rate that the game stop and u win  is more possible ,thats why u better put expensiv things in if there are many itemes in pot and the clock is near the  end, to stop game and win , one time i won because noone put something in and i was the last who droped , forget that theory with a random sqare

    Do I have to stay there, or can I just go away after my bet and be notified in case of win?

    If nobody puts the first item in then the game never gets played, so somebody puts the first item in every time. It's a risk we must take to be able to play sometimes
