Get Doubloons from quests. Use them to spin the wheel and get fantastic prizes - including brand new buildings!
Dear Kings and Queens,
Summer is here, and this year we visit the Forge Island to take part in the annual Summer festival! As soon as you get there, you will hear from the local governor, who will offer you to take a spin on the mysterious 'Wheel of Fortune' and see what rewards she has in store for you!
There are awesome prizes to be won, so make sure to board the ship! If you didn't have a chance to participate in our previous events, now you have an opportunity to compete with your neighbors to claim some of those old event items, as well as brand new Summer items.
The event starts today, so you will soon be able to jump right into it!
To spin the wheel you need Doubloons, which both the Governor, as well as the local pirate Jane will be happy to help you with... in exchange for completing tasks, of course.
You can go through the first 30 quests immediately. Once you've completed them, you will be getting one quest per day, for the remainder of the event. You will probably have a few of them stacked when you get to them, as they start stacking up starting on day one.
To board the Wheel of Fortune, click the bar in the top left corner of your screen:
You will now see the wheel, as well as the buttons to spin or refresh it. Remember that your neighborhood shares the wheel - when you refresh it, it's refreshed for everyone (an additional refresh will take place during a neighborhood merge). When you grab a prize, it is gone for everyone.
The most recent wins are displayed at the bottom of the window, so that you can keep an eye on who's winning which prize.
Spinning the wheel
In order to spin the wheel, you first need to earn Doubloons. As mentioned, you can get them by completing Summer quests. You can also use Diamonds if you just can't resist waiting for the next spin!
One spin costs one ticket, and results in one prize. Alternatively, you can "refresh and spin" to call up a whole new set of prizes for your neighborhood. No matter what you choose, you will always win a prize!
The prizes displayed in the wheel are available for every player in your neighborhood to claim. The prizes are random but, don't worry, every wheel has something special that can be won.
The most special prizes can be won by just one lucky spinner - these are surrounded by a golden circle. Somewhat less valuable, but also a very nice prize is one of our Summer selection kits - they are available on every wheel and can be obtained twice. The most common type of a reward can be obtained by up to four players (you can see how many of each prize is left in the circle surrounding the image of the prize).
If, for example, you win one of a specific prize where four are available, it is removed from the wheel and only three of them will remain for your neighbors to win. This goes on until all the prizes in the wheel run out, at which point the wheel is automatically refreshed with a new set of prizes.
As you probably noticed, there is also an incomplete map displayed next to the wheel. Each spin will produce up to three map pieces for you. If you collect all the pieces, you will get an additional special reward displayed below the map. The map will be then reset and you will be able to start the treasure hunt again .
In addition to some older event items, we of course also have brand new rewards: special summer avatars and, most importantly, four new Caribbean-themed buildings.
First, the most important one:
The Ship 7x3 The Ship is a special upgradable building. Once you have gotten it on the level 1 (expect it in one of the first quests), you will then have a chance to upgrade it up to five times. After reaching level 6, you will be able to upgrade it one more time, but at this point you will need to make a choice between three options: The Royal Ship, The Trader Ship and The Pirate Ship. Each of them provides different output, so it is up to you to make the choice! |
Also, take a look at the three other special buildings that you can also get during the event:
Hammock 2x2 - Decoration, generates happiness |
Sunken Treasure 2x3 - Production building (supplies, coins, medals, goods, Forge Points) |
Stranded Boat 4x2 - Residential, provides medals if motivated |
We hope you enjoy spinning the wheel and winning the prizes. You have until 25th of July to do so.

Thank you for playing Forge of Empires and... enjoy the summer!
Sincerely,
The Forge of Empires Team
PS The event will be playable on mobile after the next version of the app is released.
Please keep in mind that as Forge of Empires is a game under constant development - the way certain parts of the game work is subject to change. This is particularly important in the Beta phase, where functionality and balancing can still undergo significant adjustments based on feedback and the effects on the gameplay.
