Dear Kings & Queens,
Is that the jingle of Santa's bells I hear? Its time to hang up your stocking and decorate the tree - the Winter Event is here with all its prizes and festive cheer!
Our Quest Givers, Ami and Isabella, once again need your help to decorate Mistletown for the festive season. Help them out, listen to Ami's stories and have fun unwrapping gifts and winning some magical prizes!
The Winter Event will start on the 30th of October, and will run until the 1st of December! |

Event Mechanics
Our Winter Event shuffle board is back again for you to enjoy! To start the festive fun this year, you'll need to gather Stars from event quests and incidents which you can use to unwrap gifts from the shuffle board. Each gift costs 10 Stars to unwrap and lights up either 1 or 2 houses. Light up all 20 and Mistletown's Winter Tree will also illuminate and grant you a Grand Prize!Hidden among the gifts on the shuffle board is the Daily Special. If you're lucky enough to win the Daily Special or find the "Shuffle", you'll also win an Elf for the Elves' Workshop. Each time you win an Elf you will have the opportunity to choose one of two gifts to add to a bonus blessing pile which you can then unlock with diamonds. Or if you just can't choose, you can pay the diamond cost to add both of them, or even switch the blessing options available to choose from!
That's not all! The Winter Calendar is returning too, offering a new door to unlock every day, each holding a prize. Unlock all doors in the Calendar to win some bonus prizes! Those include the Santa's Spectacular Showtime, as well as Forge Plus for a duration of 7 days!
Opening the Calendar doors requires keys of course, and you can win these from the shuffle board by opening Gifts, but keep in mind, that not every selection of Gifts will also include a key! If you are very lucky and win more than one key on the same day, you will earn a Master Key Part as well as 10 Stars instead, which will allow you to assemble additional Keys to unlock any Calendar days you miss. You can win Master Key Parts also in the Daily Challenges, or purchase them with diamonds.
Please note: If your Daily Key is doubled, you will get a Daily Key and a Master Key Part together with 10 Stars!
And let's not forget the most important part about the Winter: Snow!
After receiving or spending your stars, snow will begin falling down into your town and cover everything in a nice white layer for a while.
