Summary

Have you looked to see if this has already been suggested?

Yes.

I don't believe this is a bug so I'll post it here as a suggestion.
In the Wild Life event at the end of the minigame when you are out of moves you have 2 options: "end level" or "65 play on". There is no option to close minigame/event window at this point. I suggest to make an option to be able to close event window in case if a player wants to continue playing the same game but runs out of the wildlife coins.

What happens now if you click on the "X" in the window? When you click anywhere outside of the Event window?

Nothing happens. You just can't continue playing the game unless you pick one of the presented options.

You have to refresh the game to close the minigame window at this point - though that does work. You can do some quests, get some coins, and come back to buy 10 moves.

Feedback thread is the right spot for this type of remark (suggestions would take too long to ever be forwarded to make it in time for live).

Someone made a not-unconnected suggestion that you be able to view the board from that window as well (something that's not currently possible) - so that you can think through the decision to buy moves or not.

More or less the modality of that choice window does not reflect alternative choices that users may want (to return to their city to try and find the coins, or to view the board to help decide if they want to continue).

Yes, you are correct about refreshing the page but don't you agree this is a bad user experience in general?
I don't know. Should I repost the same post in the feedback thread?

I do agree. And yes, reposting it to feedback is the right option.

Totally agree with all above.

It would also be good to divide the purchase opportunity into individual moves, e.g. 8 coins for 1 move.
Often 1, 2 or 3 moves are missing to collect paws or chests from the board. At least I have that quite often.

Sounds logical, with St. Patrick’s day we could close the window, in the hopes to collect some gold for more chests. Why not for Wilde life too.

Not only do I agree with this, but it should be also possible to see (maybe in transparency?) the tiles beneath the "Out of moves" window.

I think the feedback thread would have been more appropriate for this.
