Don't discontinue the Get Fit Puzzle Premium game

In the 10 years or so I've used Fitbit, this game has been (by far) my favorite addition to the platform. I am SO disappointed to hear it will be ending at the end of next month.

does anyone know if the Apple Watch has a comparable game? I'll ditch the fitbit for it.

Wow, what can I say...I feel like Fit Bit just punched me in the gut. they never gave us an explanation as to why they discontinued the game ! I am not a gamer, and I don't normally play games. I am a 58 year old woman who absolutely loves the Get Fit Puzzle! I play it 3-4 times a day, it helps me to relax. It motivates me to go an extra lap (1.3 miles) around the park so I get more moves in the game. It may sound stupid, but this game was IMPORTANT to me.  Maybe they should not get rid of the game but get rid of the PERSON who suggested getting rid of the game.

What's odd about this is the timing. Many of us our making our Christmas wish list to give to significant others this next couple of weeks.  I am starting to research different fitness trackers  to see if they come with motivational games.

Unable to comment on other user’s suggestion to NOT discontinue the Get Fit Puzzle. Comments don’t appear to be turned off, so must be some kind of glitch… ? There are probably many more Fitbit Premium users who would’ve agreed with the “Don’t discontinue the Get Fit Puzzle Premium game” thread if it were possible!

I’ve been trying to comment on this, but it was blocked. Thanks for allowing more comments here.  I don’t think a lot of people know where to find this thread, never mind that they need to click on the thumbs up to vote on it.

Tamila, I totally agree with everything you say… I feel like I lost my best friend today! 😞   I miss my bunny, and I miss my main motivation to get steps in.  My son bought me my first fitbit, and he was amused at how much I loved the Get Fit Puzzle and how motivated I was.  When I told him I wouldn’t be playing anymore after Halloween, he couldn’t believe the reason… that Fitbit just decided to discontinue it!  He said “that’s messed up” … I couldn’t agree more.  Probably will not renew Premium without my bunny 😞

I’m gutted. I feel so betrayed.  I’m sure this is how the future will be give us a forum but ignore our voices or block us.  Miss Fluffy so much

Please bring back the Fitbit Smoothie Puzzle. And make it available to non-premium members to boost their steps. It is fun and definately made me get extra steps in on many days. So sad it is no longer available. 😞

I looked forward to playing my get fit puzzle each day. It was the best incentive to get in more steps and by far the best challenge you offered. Then for some reason which was never shared, you decided to take the game away from us. You said we would no longer be able to play after 10/31 and yet on 10/31 it was alrwady gone. I am so disappointed. It was the only reason I had a premium membership. I will be asking for a different tracker for Christmas and it won't be Fitbit. 

Nope

I am miserable!  This is the time of day I ALWAYS play Get Fit Puzzle as my reward - don’t even know what to do with myself… A cup of herbal tea just doesn’t cut it. I have no interest in just playing any game, I want my reward for my hard work!  That game was even helping me go to sleep on time. I really miss my Squiggles bunny! 😞  Also, I truly hope someone is going to read our comments.  This is a really inefficient way to communicate… and discontinuing that game was really hurtful.  I assumed enough people would have complained that the game wouldn’t really end… and then it ended early!  Maybe it’s time for an Apple Watch.

Yes, please bring this back! I’ve had a Fitbit for years but THIS GAME is what keeps me going. I love the idea of earning my steps to play. I look forward to it every single day & love when it refreshes after midnight! This game is the only reason I have premium. I’m not sure if I’ll keep it anymore.

I’m sitting in bed ready to play get fit and it’s gone. Is anyone higher up at Fitbit seeing this?? We are all actually sad and upset.

By the way everyone, I am anxiously awaiting the game here

This should fill the void on all our new non Fitbit trackers

Alas, @lizzyhayhay, that game says it will sync with fitbutts and applewatches. Maybe it'll add others later? 

 

I just downloaded Fitness Pets and it's more like a gigapet or a tamagotchi, but it's cute. It works off your step count in google fit, but I got the free Fit to Fit app so google fit knows what my charge 3 knows. I need to see if garmin has a workaround for that.

Why are we not able to like any posts on this thread?  I’m able to like on other threads, but this one is not giving me that option.  Please fix it so higher ups will see how important this game is to all of us.  Thanks.

@Charge2CTbiker this is not like the regular part of the forums. Here, you can vote at the top left if you want the suggested feature, but you can't vote for individual responses. Votes count here and you get only one.

Please bring back the Bunny Game! It was the only game that I looked forward to it. I loved getting rewarded for my steps. Your other games just don’t do it. I even sold a few friends on getting a Fitbit because it worked so well towards my fitness goals. You also would get many more comments if you linked the customer service on page one. 
Please consider bringing it back.

I hope Fitbit Puzzle comes back! The characters are so cute and it's fun to level up and have another motivator. I feel like there should be something like that for Premium members.

Please bring this game back. Both myself and my daughters loved playing this at the end of the day. It helped encourage me to be more active when otherwise I wouldn’t care to get in those extra steps, etc. It was definitely a perk that made Premium worth the cost.

It’s now a month later and there is NO substitute game on Fitbit. Why on earth did they cancel our favorite game when they didn’t even have anything to replace it with?  There were vague statements about new content but there is none! Bring back Get Fit Puzzle!!!!

@Dorothy_g I agree.  I wish I could vote twice.  I didn’t realize what a big motivator the game was but now I know I’m not getting as many steps.  And the bingo game isn’t nearly as motivated as this game.

I was so disappointed when I woke up on Thanksgiving morning and could no longer play this game. I played it several times a day and was actually quite devastated when my bunny was gone. Please bring it back.

@salex248  the game's last day was October 31st. You didn't see the notice about it leaving on the game in October? You must not have been playing it very often. The notice was up for at least a month before the game simply stopped letting us play. I'm sure Fitbit will have other fun things for us down the road.
