I played VV1 and never knew about piling kids on a mushroom, so never even thought to try it. I read about it here while playing VV2 and have tried it a couple of times and even though it says they have a mushroom, only one is actually carrying the mushroom, at least in my game. I have never tried it on a collectible as I was afraid I'd just simply lose the collectible. Now you have me curious, I'll try it on the next common collectible.:)

Works everytime... It looks like the 2 kids who dont get the item are the oldest of the bunch... ! And if its a NEW collectible, ALL 10 of the kids will pick one. I did this once on a new rare item with 10+ kids and got a whopping 20k plus tech points! Must be a validation lapse on the array...

geez does no one play the game fairly..the way it was CREATED to be played...

I've wondered about that too, serendipity. As for me, I play for the enjoyment, not to rush to the end or make it on the leaderboard.

My collectables behave oddly...they refuse to appear...*<[:o))

LOL

i think yours and mine have run off together, because mine are nowhere to be found either!

Don't get me wrong Serendipity/DainBramaged, i've played the game through and through without resorting to glitches/shortcuts. But now that i've done that.... my programmer instincts now kick in and i pretty much like to try unconventional methods of playing the game just to see what happens.

As what Didi would say... "What does THIS button do???" <CLICK>.....<KABLAAAM!!!> --- [from Dexter's Lab for those who dont watch CN]

And as far as I'm concerned, I bought the game and pretty much I'm free to play however i wish to play it.

EsteemedElderly, I can't speak for serendipity but I was referring to players who just want to get thru the game in a day or think the only goal is topping the leaderboard. They seem to hate the journey & think of nothing but the destination. I agree with you completely, everyone is entitled to play however they like & I try not to judge anyone.

And I was LOL at the Didi reference!

I am getting the same thing, the math of it is,, 1 out of 2 will pick up, 1 out of 3 will pick up 2 out of 4 will pick up and the more kids you have it seems only the 2 oldest dont pick it up unless its a new item then they all pick them up, as of right now i have close to 40 kids, and all but the oldest 2 pick up what i put them on, as long as i get them there fast enough. makes for great tech points.

I had a hard time looking for my 12 kids in time before the collectible disappeared... I bow my head to anyone who can pile 40 kids on one collectible before it disappears.
