 I've been able to win a few of the levels with just one move but still don't get enough points to get three stars.  I'm wondering if anyone knows why it would work that way or have experienced the same thing.  Seems like you can't do much better than clearing the board in one move.  Thanks!

Is there a way to complete the jigsaw puzzles even though time has run out?  I wish they gave the option to complete the puzzle, even though time has run out.  I like to just relax and work on them. And wish there were a menu showing all of them so you could select what you wanted to work.  All of the advice makes sense to me, so maybe I’m missing something?

   I have an avatar but it doesn't show up when I play Family Feud or on my account. Any suggestions?

My dad and I are trying to play Rummy together. We can both figure out how to start a private table, but we can't figure out how to invite each other or join the other person's game. The AARP online help says there should be a link that I can send to my dad, but I can't find it. Anyone know how to do this? Or is inviting a specific person to a private table not an option in AARP's Rummy game?Thanks for the help!

I tried to play the Hex jigsaw puzzle and it won’t load.  Is anyone else having this issue?  I was playing the regular jigsaw puzzles, but the images are so boring and color less.  I end up reloading over and over for different images, but they all are all about the same, with few exceptions.  I did one with two amazingly colorful parrots, but that was the most exciting.  

Last time I'll play this game!

When you’re presented with a fresh set of puzzle pieces in Hex Jigsaw Challenge, it can be tough to know where to begin. Generally, you want to start with the edges! Border pieces are easier to identify and help form the framework for the rest of the puzzle. Once you’ve placed some pieces on the edge, you’ll start to see other shapes that can be plugged with additional pieces.   Did you find this post helpful?

I'm a big fan of the Bubble Shooter (Arkadia) game on AARP. And I've assumed I'm pretty good at it. But -- I can't seem to crack a 400,000 score, and I've been playing the game for months. And yet I see that the top scorers get up to a million.  I *think* I understand the gameplay pretty well, but there have got to be some tricks I'm not aware of since I'm toiling away under 400k while others are getting in the millions.  Help Please?

Anyone else have this issue?  It doesn’t matter how patient I am, it crashes.  This last time was when a dragon egg hatched and was ready to fire at the last ball.

I have won Level 21 several times but it does not progress???????????????

I've been playing Majjong  Candy and made the leaderboard twice this morning, but my score won't show there. I'm logged in. This has never happened before, but it's just another downgrade to the games page on this site, combined with the annoying banner and slow load times.

Has anyone else questioned how points are awarded in this little crossword?  I finish it, correctly, no typos, in 9 to 10 seconds. Sometimes 7 seconds.  I still end up with 20,000 to 30,000 points less than the high for the day.  It's not a big deal.  I'm not a math genius by any means.  Just curious if anyone else has noticed.  

I just wanted to post it here because it's the only way I'll ever prove that I finally made it to the very top of the leaderboard.  I got screenshots, too, not that this community board will let me insert them.  No, I'm not bitter. NOT AT ALL.  This happened to me before a year or so ago, and my complaints eventually got a result of "We will temporarily allow high scores of over 100K." By which time other people had beat my record.  I'm beginning to see why the best players eventually abandon this game for something else...

Get ready to launch, flip, and score! Hoop Havoc is here, and it's bringing a whole new kind of arcade energy to AARP Games. It’s pinball meets basketball and you’ve got one mission: keep that clock alive.  Tap or click to power the flipper and send balls flying toward the hoop. Sink a basket to reset the timer, adjust your tap strength for finesse shots, and don’t forget: shots that fall back through the hoop still count! It’s easy to jump in and chase a new high score, so don’t delay – warm up and play!    Have more questions?  Check out our FAQ and Game Tip!   Did you find this post helpful?

It started with that thoroughly obnoxious rug ad that looked like a La Brea tar pit. Now we have models stalking back and forth or shaking their fists or doing whatever it is they're doing to the right of the game that I'm attempting to play. It's impossible to concentrate on the game when the screen to the right is in constant motion. I often just stop in the middle of the game and go elsewhere. Ads before you get a score are bad enough. Ads that purposely distract you while you're attempting to play are to me a bridge too far. I am so sorry that AARP is a party to this. I realize that sites need advertising, but at least members should be free from these terrible ads.

It is really annoying to not earn rewards for solving puzzles quickly.I used to try to see how quickly I could solve Codeword.  I eventually realized I needed to just wait to put in the last letter until at least 2:30 minutes had past.There is the same problem with Scramble Words.  I just solved it quickly, including a whole bunch of extra words that weren't even targets, and scored my highest ever, over 32,000, and yet, did not reveice any rewards.You are penalized for solving quickly.  This is not at all fair.

Joined AARP 6 weeks ago and started earning points from rewards program easily.  On day one I attempted to redeem points for rewards offers.  Got the dreaded Cannot process your Request  Contacted AARP same day.  Given the usual runaround including the 10 day period for AARP to investigate.  On day 11 still with no progress I chatted with them again expressing my desire to redeem my points that I was now accruing of course daily.  Told me hey were still investigating and to give it 3 more days  On now the 14th day I was told the 3 day did not count and I had to wait another 10 days but the last 3 days were part of it.  Of course this escalation is going nowhere and I was actually told they had no timeline as to when I would be able to redeem my points.  I asked them why I should continue to be a PAID member if I cannot enjoy ALL the benefits of the program.  They said there are "many" benefits I could access.  I explained how the r

Anybody else having a problem with the balls not rolling correctly? 

How the heck do you guys get such high scores? Best I can do is around 60000

Good evening, I have been noticing the  Win $26,000 Sweepstakes and I decided to give this a try.  However, after several attempts, the error message comes up as "Bad Request"  I see the rules for entering the sweepstakes but there is no way to actually  ENTER.  Please advise the solution for this occurrence.    I, for one, would like to participate in these contests that AARP offers.  Thank you, Karen D Jennings

In Hoop Havoc, using the flipper well is the name of the game, and prevents you from time-wasting, all-over-the-place shots. Keep in mind when playing that short taps give you low, controlled shots, perfect for quick baskets when the clock is tight. Also, try angling for bounce-backs! Shots that fall back through the hoop count, giving you surprise timer resets.    Did you find this post helpful? Give it a kudo to let us know - it helps others discover valuable content too!

Hoop Havoc is a fast-paced arcade game where you launch balls using a flipper to score baskets before time runs out.    How do I play? Tap or click to activate the flipper and launch balls into the hoops. Adjust your tap intensity for stronger or softer shots.   Does making a basket affect the timer? Yes! Every successful basket resets the timer, giving you more time to keep scoring.   Can I score from underneath the hoop? Yes. Shots that travel upward through the hoop and drop back in still count.   Can I control the shot strength? Yes, you can finesse your shots by tapping or clicking with more or less intensity.   Is there sound control? Yes. You can toggle volume on or off from the main menu screen.   Where can I see my best score? Your best score and most recent score are displayed on the main menu.   Is the game timed? Yes. You start with limited time, and each basket resets the clock.   Can I play on mobile devices? Yes, Hoo
