      So it sounds like a full on money grab?

      You can earn "Acorns" by doing the race task and levelling up by finishing different tasks within the space (most of which require spending your tokens) Race Task can be done free, though having any LMO equipped helps a lot. get around 30 xp each time you finish a track, so a bit of a drag playing for free.

      So far it sounds like they forgot to program in the part that actually lets you enter the space. :D

      Maybe EU works?

      I could not board the train in NA this morning. I would select the prompt, and I would get the "exit" prompt at top left of screen, but train comes and goes and nothing. Now, according to Jo's post, I see you need 10 acorns. But it never asked for any. Maybe it just assumes you have enough and if you don't it parks you in never-never-land. :)

      As for the rewards I have seen so far, doesn't seem like the grind is worth it. Let alone spend money to speed it up.

      So far Acorn Park has been a hassle. Allot of the vendors don't work most the time. You have to reload the space and hope one is up. So far I only got to go into the dog vendor. Needs some work. For the most part it seems like a social space more then a game space. What would be a huge help is if the tasks weren't all ??? so you don't waste your acorns and do the cheaper ones first.

      I got into the space in EU so I could at least see it, but nothing was working right. Nothing there for me anyways, but visually speaking, the space is done well I guess. Looks nice, but a poor effort on anything that is supposed to be functional--the story of Home....a Ferrari trying to run on a lawn mower engine.

        I had to reload a bunch to day to check the pricing. I haven't really tried any of the games yet. Supposedly VeeMee fixed it so you should get your full 200 acorns for free. I only got 40 this morning. At least that is what they said on Twitter.

        Hot Dog Stand - Could not find prompt

        Bikes - no prompt....could not access

          It'll be crazy to spend 10,000 acorns as part of the EXP challenge. :p

          Ive managed to get to level 10, spending 10000 acorns is a task of epic size but only as much as orb collecting, fubar and fossil collecting, its the walk every dog challenge that is a real money grab costing 1200 acorns just to do that. And the eat 5 hotdog, ice cream or coffee reward is male the eat 10 reward is the same hat but female. But ive rode the train as passenger and driver got track and railway crossing rewards for that. The free races, do not do while in bike hire mode as the controls are awful in hire mode. Same as swan boats no point doing lake race as there isnt enough room and all you do is play bumper boats

            Acorn Park is buggy, other than that, it's a nice space.

              What is the highest max level for it, and did anyone unlock any other challenges besides the ones posted here? I believe we haven't covered up the dog, bike, boat and train challenges at all.

              Hi
              Do you start with the dog challenges and then move on to the other ones as I could not do the other ones like the bikes challenges or coffee etc

                You can start on whatever you want to do. Right now, it's having bug issues on some prompts. I started eating and drinking stuff before I did anything else.

                I found other objectives to complete:

                Buy all the acorn bundles. (if you buy one of the bundles, it'll list it, but you have to buy them all, which is kinda money-grubbing there).
                Ride the train as passenger or driver at a certain time.
                Ride your bike at a certain time.
                Walk all your dogs into the dog park. (I only got half the bar filled, so it could mean Veemee will release more dogs later).
                Stay 30 minutes in the dog park with your dog.

                that space is beautiful, if you ignore all the glitches, its gorgeous. I agree with you recca that they will have other dogs, but if u look into all the vendors they say 1/1. so clearly there will be other items in every section. a guide told me they are trying to fix half of the items. there has been back and forth issues with the dog park. some cant get in, others in cant get out. and have heard some have gotten stuck on the train. love the peacefull and calm vibes the space gives off, it will always be a fave in my book. and BEST SPACE to use a lmo item!! so grade wise atm I give it a C-
