Limited Time Events run for a short period of time and offer unique rewards you can't get anywhere else, including Characters!
You can switch between playing the Event or your Main Game at will while the Event is active. The time remaining for the Event will always be displayed on your Main Game and in the Event itself.
Can everyone participate?
You must be at least on Episode 6 in order to participate in most Events. Note that some Events may have a higher Episode requirement.
How long do Events last?
There are two types of Events: Main Events and Mini Events.
- Main Events are 4 days long and run 2pm PST Wednesdays to 4pm PST Sundays.
- Mini Events are 26 hours long, and we run two with the first starting on 6pm PST Sundays to 8pm PST Monday and the second starting on 9pm PST Monday to 1pm PST Wednesday (ends just an hour before the Main Event).
- Some weeks an extra Main Event is run instead of the two Mini Events, in which case it runs from 5pm PST Sunday to 1pm PST Wednesday.
What is different in an Event?
- Instead of Buds, you will earn and spend a different Event specific Bud currency.
- Zeke's Chest is 1 or 2 hours instead of 4 hours.
- Events are theme-based, so have their own story line and Characters typically have a different appearance, making it easy to tell when you're in an Event.
- Displayed at the top is your progress towards your next Event reward. Tap anywhere on the bar to see your current earned rewards and the rewards you can still unlock.
NOTE: All prizes are credited at the END of the event! So you'll need to wait until the Event is completely over for everyone to get any Milestone or Leaderboard Rewards. - Progress is NOT carried over between Events! Each new Event all players start with Businesses and Characters at level 1 for an even playing field.
What is the same in an Event?
- The gameplay is exactly the same, however it is self-contained and doesn't affect your Main Game.
- Therefore you will still have up to 3 goals to earn Chests/story line rewards.
- Hitting Customer Bonuses will still reward (Event) Buds and Cards.
- You can still watch ads to earn currency/profit bonuses and open Zeke's Chest, again separate from your Main Game.
What happens at the end of an Event?
- Your unused Event Buds will be converted to Buds, at a rate of 4:1 Buds, to a maximum of 500 Buds that will be credited to your Main Game.
- The rewards (Gems, Buds, Cards, Characters, Tokens) you earned from Milestones and Leaderboard placement will be credited to your Main Game once the event has ended for everyone.
