Get Spring Lanterns from quests. Use them to get fantastic prizes - including brand new buildings with set bonuses!
Welcome to the Cherry Blossom Festival! Let's celebrate it as this year's Spring Event
. When the cherry trees bloom, everyone gathers at the parks and celebrates!The Cherry Blossom Festival will begin on March 12th, and will end on April 3rd.
There will be a certain number of quests available immediately, and then you will get one quest per day, until the end of the event. As there is a quest for every single day starting on day one (they are just invisible while you handle the main questline), you will probably have a few of them stacked when you get to them.
The Lanterns can be traded for chests. Click the event button to open the event window:
As you can see, the window consists of several elements:
1. Spring Lantern counter. This shows how many Lanterns you currently have. The main way to get Lanterns are the Spring quests. You can also get a few Lanterns from cherry trees that will show up in the wilderness around your city when you open a chest or complete a quest. Alternatively, you can also use Diamonds.
2. Chests. There are several different chests. Each of them contains different rewards and you have to pay with Lanterns to get one of them. Hover over the chest of your choice to see what prizes are available for you to win. To see a more detailed description of each prize, click the '?' icon. Among the rewards, you will find not only buildings from the previous events, but also a few new items! More about them below
.3. Daily Special. This is a particularly valuable reward. It's available in every chest and changes every day. The chances of getting the Daily Special differ from chest to chest.
4. Grand Prize. Every time you open a chest you will also get cherry blossoms which fill up the Grand Prize progress bar. Once this is completely filled up you will get the reward! Then, will you be able to start progress to the next reward. You can always see the current Grand Prize as well as the next two.
As always, in addition to the items that already exist in the game, there are completely new things available for you to get!
There are 5 new Spring buildings, all of them themed after the Japanese Cherry Blossom festival. If you have played our previous Spring event, you will quickly notice that they are improved versions of the last year's buildings:
How to get them? With the upgrade items! We are well aware that not all our players own the entire set (or even any of its parts) from the last year. In this case, winning upgrade items would not be too beneficial. That is why instead of winning the upgrades or the building, you will instead win an item that contains either of those rewards - a Selection Kit!
In a similar way to the already known Boost Crates, they are stored in your inventory. Upon opening them, you can choose if you prefer the basic version of a building, or an upgrade item!
What is also worth remembering, is that the new buildings are still parts of the very same set. You can upgrade each building individually and they will keep working together as a set.
Keep in mind that if you have both an old and a new version of the same building, they will not boost each other. The set boost still only works with different buildings.
We have also used this opportunity to make upgrading easier - when you upgrade a Spring building, it will not go to the inventory any more, but will be upgraded directly in the city
. And you don't have to worry about ongoing production - it will keep going after the upgrade (this applies to the surrounding Spring buildings as well) .
We wish you a lot of fun at the Cherry Blossom Festival!
Let us know what you think here
Happy Spring!

P.S. - Diamonds will be rewarded after the event starts
