Event Window[]
As you can see in the following interactive image, the event window contains 11 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.
Type of gem | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 4 |

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.
The Boosters[]
For this year's Anniversary event, boosters have been added to help you reach your goals faster. These boosters can be earned by completing tasks in the first quests of the Main Questline and in the Rival Challenges that happen during the event. You will however start with one of each, to test them out. The boosters can help you spawn gems, create colorless gems or break down higer-level gems into lower level ones.

Gem Mine[]
Spawn gems without spending any Energy.
Gem Pickaxe[]
Break down a higher-level gem into two lower-level gems. Any keys or key parts on the higher-level gem will be kept on both lower-level gems.
Prismatic Essence[]
Convert all gems of one color on the board to colorless. Colorless gems can be merged with any color, but can't have their key converted while they are colorless.
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 (??%),
9 Wind Keys (??%) or
9 Fire Keys (??%).
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!
Chest | Keys Required |
![]() |
Daily Special Chance |
---|---|---|---|
![]() |
3-6 | 3-6 | 5%-10% |
![]() |
9-12 | 10-15 | 14%-18% |
![]() |
15-18 | 21-27 | 20%-24% |
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
Getting Energy[]
You start the event with 110 Energy, you can get more in different ways:
Firstly, by completing the quests.
Secondly, By collecting the reward for logging in daily.
Thirdly by finding them in Incidents around your City, each has a chance to contain 20, 100 or 500 Energy.
And Finally by buying them with diamonds:

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 BA. The second number in brackets is for SAT.
To get a better idea of your exact requirements Click Here and use the Tables provided, please be aware that the Final Table is incomplete as we do have players from those Ages that could help.
If you are browsing this page on desktop, you can click on each individual quest to mark it as done, thereby making it easier to keep track of your upcoming quests.
