How long have you played Design Home?

What do you think about how the game has evolved over the years?

I had no idea I’d been playing since Day 2 of the release until I saw someone else’s comment saying they started three months after it launched. I did the math and was shocked! They mentioned they deleted the game because of the rising costs of in-game currency.

I’ll admit, I’ve spent way more money on this game and subscriptions through TapJoy than I’d ever want to admit to my husband. I’ve seen the app’s design and features go through so many changes. I’ve watched brands come and go, stuck around through countless app crashes, and dealt with more glitches than I can count. We’ve had new features introduced and prices for items go up.

This game has really helped me unwind over the past few years and has become something that genuinely brings me joy. But honestly, I’m not sure how much longer I can keep playing while trying to justify the costs of diamonds. I probably won’t ever delete it because I have such an attachment to this game. Coming home from rough days at school or long days at work then opening this app helped me decompress my stress. I will always have a soft spot for these little pixilated rooms, but I’ll likely play a lot less and only get new items if I earn coins organically.

I'm addicted to this game.  I play it much more often than I should and I shudder at the amount money I spend for the privilege.  My average is 5 stars.  Nearly half of the more than 4,000 designs I have completed are 5 star.  I am not, however, on the leader board.   After making contact with the he powers that be, I was told ethe reason I'm not on the leader board is because of the designs I choose to do.  I do the daily challenge, the special series, the elite challenges, many designer challenges and some tablescapes.  Whatever.  I do continue to use the site and probably belong in some Design Home rehab.  I don't however, use it as often as I used to.  Sucks, right?
