How can I participate in the Winter Event?

Winter Questline

The Winter Event is back in 2023 and we have some quests ready for you to brave the cold! During the event you will come across 70 quests: 40 rush quests will be available immediately, and then a new daily quest every single day of the event.

Event Mechanics

Our Winter Event shuffle board is back again for you to enjoy! Like last year you start the festive fun by gathering Stars from the event questline, as well as special daily quests and in incidents hidden around your city.

When you have collected enough Stars and you want to start the merrymaking, just shuffle the stack of Mystery Presents and use 10 Stars to open one of them.
In addition, each time you open a Mystery Present, you will receive a Match Stick, which can be used to gain progress toward the Grand Prize! Use a Match Stick to light Candles inside 1 or 2 town houses. Once all 20 houses are lit, the town's Winter Tree will light up and you'll obtain the Special Grand Prize!

In addition to regular gifts, there’s also a chance you might stumble upon a special tile when you open a present. These are:

Elves' Workshop

There would be no Winter Event 2023 without an Elf's Workshop! You once again have the opportunity to choose one of two gifts to add to a bonus gift 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 gift options available to choose from!

Every time you win the Daily Special or find a special tile, 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 gift pile.
Don't miss out, because among the bonus gifts are fantastic buildings, such as the Upgrades Kits for the Elfie's Cream & Nog Shop and the Elfie's Cream & Nog Emporium , the Epic Winter 2023 Selction Kit and many more beautiful gifts!

Note: You can open the Elves' Blessings at all times by paying diamonds, but remember: the bigger the pile the better deal you get!

Winter Event Calendar

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!

New doors will unlock each day of the Winter Event 2023, so make sure to come back every day to find the keys!

If you are very lucky and win more than one key on the same day on the suffle board , you will earn a Master Key Part and 10 stars instead, which will allow you to assemble additional Keys to unlock any Calendar days you miss (5 Key Parts required to make a Master Key). You can also win Master Key Parts 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!
