Dear Kings and Queens,
Frosty the Snowman is back! He brings with him new quests for the winter season.
Each day of the event brings a new challenge you can complete in exchange for some of our seasonal currency – Winter Stars! Collect as many as you can, because you will use the Stars to open presents in our winter shop.
Every day brings a new set of presents containing goodies such as Forge Points, blueprints, units and buildings… There’s also a special prize every day, which is displayed in the top left corner of the window and can be found in one of the presents… The special prize could be extra stars, valuable buildings from previous events, renovation kits or even special winter buildings!
Each set is available for 24 hours. At the start of each day, you'll see the day's set of presents. When you press the "Start" button, the presents are hidden and shuffled. To open a present you will have to spend 10 Stars. When the countdown for the day runs out, the presents reset and a new special prize takes the previous one’s place, so make sure you don't miss out and open presents if the special prize is something you really want! If you do happen to miss a special prize that you simply must have, you will be able to buy it for Diamonds the next day (in most cases).
Special tiles
In addition to the regular gifts, there’s also a chance you might stumble upon a special tile when you open a present. These are:
| Shuffle |
| The entire set of presents are revealed, and you must press the "Start" button to hide and shuffle the presents again. You'll also get 10 stars added directly to your total stars. |
| Double payout |
| The next present you open will be doubled. If the reward is a building, you'll get two of them! |
| Show 2 |
| The contents of two unopened presents are revealed (but not taken) and you get 3 stars. |
New, unique buildings and avatars
Two new festive avatars are available to be won in this year's winter event (not to mention Frosty's pretty face, if you don't possess it yet), and we've got two new winter buildings to collect throughout the course of the event: Santa's Workshop and a Gift Tower.
Also all of the Winter buildings from the previous years will be available again for you to obtain: The Nutcracker, Snow Globe, Festive Tree, Winter Gate with its two Gate Statues, Gingerbread House, Reindeer Sleigh... and all the other ones
.Owners of all Confectionaries from the previous years, except for the last year's Legendary Confectionary (which is the final level of Confectionary), will be of course able to upgrade them.
The Winter Event on Beta ends on December 6th.
Your feedback is very important for us, so don't forget to comment here! We're also running a mission for any bugs you may encounter and we'll be grateful if you help us there.
We also hope you enjoy the event!
