2017 Spring Event
2017 Spring Event

March 28, 2017 - April 17, 2017


The 2017 Spring Event is a new seasonal event that ran from March 28, 2017 to April 17, 2017. It replaced the Easter Event.

All the action takes place in the Spring Lantern Trade-In window.

Event Window



The player starts the event with 50 Lanterns lanterns and can win more through five ways, first, through the rewards of quests, second, with the daily collection of the town hall, third, upon completing quests and opening chests the player can get cherry trees around the city which give the player a random chance to get between 1 to 10 Lanterns Lanterns, fourth, by opening chests and fifth, by buying them with diamonds.

As you can see, the window consists of several elements:

1. Spring Lantern counter. This shows how many Lanterns Lanterns you currently have. The main way to get Lanterns are the Spring quests, but you can also buy more Lanterns for Diamonds here.

2. Chests. There are three of them: bronze, silver and gold. Each of them contains different rewards and you have to pay with Lanterns to get one of them! Hover over the chest of your choice to see what prizes are available for you to win. To see what a more detailed description of each prize, click the '?' icon. Among the rewards you will find not only Diamonds and buildings from the previous events, but also a few new items! More about them below .

3. Daily Special. This is a particularly valuable reward. It's available in every chest and changes every day. The chances of getting the Daily Special differ from chest to chest.

4. The Grand Prize. Every time you open a chest you will also get Cherry garden Cherry blossoms which fill up the Grand Prize progress bar. Once this is completely filled up you will get the Grand Prize. You can get the Grand Prize multiple times, as the bar will reset when you reach the goal. Every time after reaching the goal there will be a different Grand Prize.

Cherry Garden Set Configuration[]

Set Configuration

All the five buildings visible above have a "Set" building skill. When a building with set bonus is built right next to another (different) building from that specific set, it gets a bonus. For example: Zen Zone normally produces only coins, but when it touches other buildings from the Cherry Garden Set it will:

1. Produce additional supplies (when touching at least one).

2. Produce additional goods (when touching at least two unique buildings).

3. Produce additional medals (when touching at least three unique buildings).

The bonuses add up, so when touching two other buildings, you get bonus for both 1 and 2.

The five buildings in clock-wise order are:
