The 2023 Anniversary Event is a new special event that will run from 28th March 2023 to 17th April 2023.
Dear Queens and Kings!
Forge of Empires is turning 11 years young! Those of you who were here last year will remember our big tenth anniversary celebration, but we thought - why stop there? We had such a great time we decided to celebrate our birthday again this year! So get your party hats ready and prepare to join us in our sparkly new event with brand new mechanics and some beautiful new prizes to be won.
As you can see in the following interactive image, the event window contains 10 main elements.
Event mechanics[]
Gaining Progress[]
By freeing up, in other word combining, gems behind a glass layer or by opening chests you gain some Progress towards Grand Prizes. The amount depends on a chest tier - the higher the more Progress they reward, and each freed up gem on the board yields some Progress - gem levels 1-3 reward 1 Progress, while level 4 gems 2 Progress.
Spawn and merge the gems[]
Press the Spawn button to spend 10 Energy and add a new gem to the board. All gems have a chance to spawn, but the higher level gems have a lower spawn chance compared to lower level gems.

The newly spawned gem can be used to unlock a locked gem of the same size and colour by merging them together. Each locked gem will also come with a key part: either a top part or a bottom part. Pay close attention to these when choosing which gems to merge! Remember - to make a full key you need to merge a top part and a bottom part, as well as matching the colors and sizes of the gems.
Convert gems into keys[]
Feed the gems with a full key into your Converter to remove the piece from the board and free up the key. Keys can be created on gems of many sizes, but the bigger the gem, the more keys will be received for converting that gem!
Additionally, for the duration of the event, one of the two treasure chests offered for Daily Challenges will always contain a key reward. This chest contains either 9 Water Keys (40%), 9 Wind Keys (40%) or 9 Fire Keys (20%). If acquired daily, this averages to 180 extra Keys.
Open chests for rewards[]
The objective is to clear all the gem combinations on the board and collect all of the keys required to open the reward chests to give you a chance to win the Daily Special, among a variety of other prizes! The composition of available rewards depends on the type of keys required to open each chest. Note! The first opened chest of each day will double received reward as well as double the Progress towards Grand Prizes!

Reset the board[]
If you have unlocked all of the locked gems on the board, you can reset the board for free to populate it with new gems and keep matching. But most importantly, you get a board completion reward for the finished board!
You can also reset the board with locked gems still on it if you are stuck. Once refresh a day is free, but you will have to spend Energy to do the reset afterwards.
If you have a lot of pieces left on the board and you unlock all of the pieces, you will gain some bonus keys when you progress to a new board!
You will always recieve 1 key for each of the following:
10 same colour pieces without a key
4 same colour pieces with half a key
1 same colour piece with a full key

Quests[]
The event features two questlines presented by Lilith, the Key Master. The Main Questline and the Daily Questline. Every solved quest grants the player some Energy. The quests have to be solved in the order they are presented and no quests are abortable.
The Daily Questline will give you one quest per day, for the 21 days of the event. These Quests will stack until you have completed the Main Questline. So you will not miss any if you do not complete the Main Questline on the first day. After completing the Main Questline, you will be able to complete stacked Daily Quests without any delay and after that, one quest per day.
Note: Where the word "some" appears in the quest text below, the amount differs depending on the Age the player is at. The Lower Numbers in brackets are for Bronze Age(BA). The second number in brackets is for the Space Age Jupiter Moon(SAJM).
