Spoiler Archeology Event 2021

Before even Spring Event has started there is a lot of new Archeology Event related stuff out there...

There is a new selection kit

Clay Tablet sounds very Archeology. Might be realated to the main reward. EDIT: Or possibly let you choose which of the mini quest lines to activate.

There are some buttons and notification icon, maybe realated to a new feature
Switch down Switch over Switch up

Finally there is a lot of stuff that has to with some new feature for the Archeology Event called Archeology Calendar

And some few more similar ones in different sizes (so didn't include exactly all).

When I tried myself just putting some of the images on top of each other real quick I got this

And finally there was a new Achievement which must have to do with this in some way:

For the Calendar I have a theory you should somehow collect the gem key and gem shards. And then when you have collected all the different couloured shards you unlock something. And either you can do the same multiple times and get the Grand Prize after a certain number of times. Or you can just do it one time and recieve the prize.

Here's a last image from the game files I forgot earlier. It shows how the different gem shards fit together.

It seems devs liked the idea of a calendar. I like it too. All we need is a good reason to pick up the gem shards . A good prize

Why are you adding new features to perfectly fine events? Why did you add the tournament to the soccer event? Why did you add the calendar to the winter event? Why are you adding ANOTHER calendar? The soccer tournament went over pretty badly. The winter event calendar was pretty useless. I dont want another mechanic to worry about, i just want the Archaeology event I know and love: simple and pain free. I dont want to be scrambling to get these new shards and keys, Id rather just have a layed back event. But thats just my opinion....

I really liked the addition to the Soccer event. Like the keys, you could ignore it if you wanted to. If you wanted to approach it in a simple way, you could get something out of it with very little effort, a few clicks a day. If you wanted to dive into it to reach a higher league, you could, and good strategy made it possible to reach the top league without diamonds. Unlike the keys, the rewards of reasonable investment were not useless.

The Daily Special mechanic encourages players to only play the event on a few days. That's fine, that should be okay. But if there's a motivation to have fun with it throughout the event, that's pretty cool too. I know people who feel irritated by events where they end up with a lot of currency, and each day the DS comes up and it's a disappointment, and they wonder when Inno is going to "let them play." The soccer event, with it's "play the tournament every day, but also save up for the field" was a wonderful balance, IMHO.

A couple more images

Another version of the reward icon called clearable. And together with that part of it isn't showing I would guess it mean it's half buried in the sand for you to dig up.

And also an opened calendar grand prize.
The first version of the closed grand prize with much less colour was apparently just a placeholder. Will update that post as well.

Ambivalent, would be best way to put it, if it is a selection kit for the mini quests, then give me a Stone Cold Steve Austin hell yeah, on the other hand if it is a calendar like the Xmas 2020 event, um I am going to guess I can not use those words that come to mind.

Hmm, so if you can select the mini quest books whatever, and they put in a calendar, I would imagine you would then loose the bonus from collecting all the books.

There are some new portraits. Guess they all should be intended for Archeology since two of them have the typical a bit historical explorer look and two of them look themed with the calendar feature with all the gems and such.

I really hope the ferris wheels spin! That will look so cool!
I'm not too familiar with this works, but I think this suggests it will :)
