Winter-Event 2017

Around December it can get quite a bit cold, maybe it'll even start snowing... But there's that warm and familiar holiday feeling, and you know it's time for the Winter Event in Forge of Empires.

Complete quests to earn Stars, and then do everyone's favorite holiday thing - open some gifts! There's a whole board with presents waiting for you, and as you select and unwrap gifts you get to collect all sorts of rewards for your city. From medals to Diamonds, you can get it all!

Details of Winter Event

How does the event work?

You have to spend Stars to open presents on a board. Before you can select presents you have to hit 'Shuffle', which also gives you Stars.

The board resets every day with 20 new rewards. The rewards become hidden in decorative boxes when you start the shuffle process.

There is also a Daily Special reward, offered only on that day, though you can purchase it the following day with diamonds.

Among the 20 daily rewards there are also three special reward tiles - Shuffle, Double Payout, and Show 2.

Shuffle will of course shuffle the board for you, and it will also give you new Stars for the shuffle process.

Double Payout will double the reward from the next present you open. If you do not open any presents during that day, then the next time when you hit Shuffle you'll receive twice the amount of Stars for the process.

Show 2 will reveal to you the contents of two presents on the board, and it will also give you a small amount of Stars.

Can I do anything else?

You will also win Stars by completing quests in a special Winter Event questline. At the end of that questline you will also receive a special building.

The Confectionary can be upgraded by completing the questline each year to a Large, Huge, or even a Legendary Confectionary! When you complete the questline you will either win a Confectionary if you do not have one, or you will be asked by a questgiver to sell your old building for a brand new one.

There are many Winter-themed buildings which you can win - Snow Globe, Festive Tree, Winter Pyramid, Reindeer Sleigh, Winter Gate, Gingerbread House, Winter Market, The Nutcracker, and more! You could easily build yourself a winter-themed village with them.

The mobile version of the game also includes snow in your city during the duration of the event!
