[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 286814, member: 134"] [B][I]Here's the summary after playing the app for 42 days[/I][/B] Level 37 (+1) Tickets 17,670 Coins 55 (+71) Safe Cracker: upgraded to level 4 on day 39 It was a long slow slog, but I finally got the final 100 coins needed to upgrade Safe Cracker midweek.
