Event Wildlife Event 2024

[Leones]

Behold! The lesser spotted Forge Fan in its natural habitat - the Wildlife Event 2024!

The Wildlife Event will begin on December 5th, 2023 and runs until January 3rd, 2024!

The Plot​

Join Diane as she leads you on a wild expedition to the untamed heart of Africa, where vibrant flamingos await your visit! Get ready to 'flock' together for a flamingo-filled adventure like no other!

Event Mechanics​

Get ready to embark on a wild adventure at our wildlife-themed event! We're thrilled to bring back the beloved block-popping challenge for this year's festivities. To join in on the fun, simply open the event window and hit the "Start" button to use your Entrance Tickets for an exciting journey into the Wildlife Park.

You'll kick off with 4 Entrance Tickets, and don't worry, they'll naturally refill over time, up to a maximum of 4. Plus, you can boost your ticket stash by completing quests, discovering incidents throughout your city, and, of course, acquiring them with dazzling diamonds. It's time to pop those blocks and collect your rewarding tokens as you explore the enchanting world of wildlife!

Within the event window you will find several main elements to consider:

The Board	Where you will pop blocks to gain rewards! Press Start to use a ticket and open a level. Every board will always have 4 out of 5 possible block colors!
Pawprints	One of the main reward Pieces. You will need to pop blocks to drop Pawprints down and receive them. There are other Reward Chests as well (but more on that later!)
The Number Of Moves	Each pop costs a move. A level has limited moves and will end once all moves are used, or you can purchase more moves with Wildlife Coins!
The Grand Prize bar	Shows the amount of Pawprints needed to progress toward the next Reward.
The Daily Special	Is displayed here, and can be switched here once every 24 hours.
Coins	The second Event Currency which can be used to purchase more moves within a Level. Press the plus sign to go to the Shop and buy more Coins.
Boosters	With Coins, you can purchase Boosters which are Special Abilities! Use the Plus Button to purchase them.

You will begin the event with 200 Wildlife Coins to get you started! More can be gained from logging in once per day, by completing quests and incidents around your City and of course they can be purchased with diamonds! Every 65 coins spent will grant 5 additional moves. Use them wisely, and bring those Chests and Pawprints home! Don't forget to participate in the Daily Challenges as well, as they grant you coins or boosters as well!

An important tip! Using moves to create Reward Chests and potential new rewards is important, but do not forget you will still need moves to drop them below!

Follow the paw prints! To make progress toward the Grand Prize you will need to collect Pawprints, which automatically spawn on the board as you continue to pop up and free up space. Tip! Like a chess grandmaster, try and think a couple moves ahead, so you can navigate these special pieces to the bottom!

Chests​

Paw prints are not your only concern! Keep your eyes peeled for bigger groups of blocks to pop! If you can group 5 or more you can make a chest. The more blocks you group together, the bigger the chest!

As previously, there are five different blocks, and each different color type offers a different Reward.

	With five or more matches of the Blue Acorn, you will create a blue Chest Piece containing Forge Points
	With five or more matches of the Green Leaf, you will create a Green Chest Piece containing Coins, Supplies, or Boost & Rush Items.
	With five or more matches of the Yellow Flower, you will create a Yellow Chest Piece containing Goods
	With five or more matches of the Orange Carrot, you will create an Orange Chest Piece containing Medals or Blueprints.
	With five or more matches of the Red Apple, you will create a Red Chest Piece containing Army Units

Each chest will also have a star rating. The more blocks you pop at once, the greater the rewards! The star rating goes from 1 star to 6 stars, so look before you pop to make sure you have as many blocks grouped together as possible!

Boosters​

Coins can also be spent on Boosters, which will grant you special abilities.

	With the Hammer you can remove 1 color block from the board.
	With the Leafy Line you can eliminate a full horizontal line.
	With Lightning, you can remove all blocks of a chosen color from the board.

Deadlock Shuffle​

Out of options? Not to worry! The Board automatically re-shuffles when there are no more available blocks to pop, and gives you the option to keep popping! As long as you have moves, you will be able to pop, and there will be no dead ends.

The Golden Ticket​

Activate the golden ticket to play levels without having to use any of your normal tickets! For a limited period of time while the Golden Ticket is active, you will be able to play as many levels as you can get through!

New Mini Challenges​

Baron Alaric Ironsoul will return!

During this year's Wildlife Event you will also have the chance to participate in three additional Mini Challenges throughout the event. In those challenges you will be able to win boosters, coins and (golden) tickets for the event!

Dear Wildlife Park visitors,
With the next update, we will do some changes to the league rewards.
Some of you might have wondered, why the Panda Statue was only available in the Bronze League and not in the Silver or Gold League. No need to wonder anymore, because it will now also be included in the upper leagues! To be more specific, you will now receive the Bronze League reward in Silver League as well, and the Silver League reward in Gold League too!
We have also adjusted what rewards you get from the leagues slightly, to still keep it fair after this change.
In addition, we have recently adjusted the Event Pass rewards. Some rewards in the Grand Prizes lane have been switched around, making it easier to get a normal upgrade kit for the Flamingo Habitat. The Golden Event Pass lane was also adjusted to include Panda Shrine Golden Upgrade Kits.

We hope you enjoy those changes, see you next time!
