SURPRISE! We told you that we were making it easier than ever to win, and we meant it!

Each Friday afternoon (after 5pm) we'll be updating the official Joy99/Carpet Bonanza Match Game Game Board to reflect every open door and every match!

This way, new players can join the fun at the start of every week AND you can catch up on any doors you may have missed along the way! So, it's NEVER too late to join the fun!

Key:
Green = The door has been opened by another player and the prize is still available.
Red = The door is closed because the prize has been won!
White = The door has yet to be opened, and a prize hides beyond.

*Note: While Joy99 is providing a weekly updated Game Board and will do everything to ensure the highest accuracy, Joy99 cannot be held liable in the event the game board has inaccuracies or mistakes. The updated game board is being offered as support to players finding the game for the first time, and to help other players catch doors they may have missed.
