Is there a limit (like, 3) to the numbers of favors that can be played daily? I played all my cases + a few left by friends in my agency, but after three of those I didn't get a favor.
Have I missed something? Or do only one's own started cases count towards favors?

Nope there's no limit and nope they all count - but if you get one wrong, you'll have to do another to get the favour :)

I'm positive, I solved three cases and got not favour :'(
Thanks for your answer anyway. Must be me...

I've had that too :)
How about the favour before that - that counts too if you got it wrong or missed it.

No daily limit, but the actual calculation for when you get new favors is a little more complicated than it appears.

Is this calculation secret Ben? Actually, I'm curious about most of the 'formulas' being used, and cannot see any real way to 'game' the system if they were known, so I'd love to see them/hear about them, etc. :)

Everytime you successfully complete a fourth case, the system will unlock a favor for you. Favors count towards that 4 successful completion count. Pretty simple, but not entirely obvious.

While were at it...
Does it have to be four cases in a row? (I suppose not)
What happens to the unlocked favours if the active one if not solved? Do they pile up or do you have to get another four?

They do not pile up. You can't get a new favor until you start the one that is already unlocked.

Thanks Admin.. that's cool to know.

Hmm... Is it really every 4? I thought it was every 3...
