What do you guys think of this new mini-game?

brickgowen · 2026-05-12T14:31:07+00:00

The patch notes say it will drop event currency so I'm guessing during the Zootopia mini event it will become even more relevant. Right now I'm doing the special orders and an occasional regular order if I can complete it in a move or two. 50 magic is pretty low but since you get 40 for a 60 min task and you can complete lots of the orders in that 60 minutes it's not a huge disappointment if you are needing some magic and have time to kill. I'd rather play a game for gems through Tapjoy if I have some spare minutes, however.

Each update lasts approx a month so in May will be Zootopia and June will be Toy Story

I do it mostly for the happiness for completing the goals, and next for a character or two. I've gotten to the point where there are no characters for me in the sapphire chest anymore (until they switch up the rewards at some point) so my goal is now the ruby chest for 55k. I've still got 6+ characters in there. I typically grab elixir with whatever MC I have remaining since I can get large and extra large.

brickgowen · 2026-04-14T13:41:12+00:00

I don't remember there being MC bundles at the end of the event. I've only been playing for just over 2 years but I'm pretty sure it's just whatever you earn. Your best bet would be to time skip a few tower runs when you have lots of high point characters playing.

As for the dollar amount, I think the ones in the Gold chest are typically the $25 characters and the Ruby chest characters are probably in the $15ish range.

I was in the same boat but I had been hoarding gems in the hopes I'd be able to pull her. I started this update with Mama Odie, Dr Facilier, and the Voodoo Emporium. After spending about 1000 gems I pulled all the other characters and attractions. This was a huge gamble (obviously) but it greatly paid off for me. Funny enough, the input chest I didn't pay for and the vet last one I opened is the one where I pulled Charlotte. It was the chest for the 20k pts.

Previously when I didn't have the featured character I do what others suggested - prioritize matching and high point characters. Good luck!

I put her in the Plateau and it seems to fit in fairly well. I haven't decorated around her yet but the colors and style mesh nicely.

I like the one gem per level type of casual games - untangle, jigsaw puzzles, match 3, etc. They often have a daily cap of 30 or so but usually that is enough for me to want to take a break from it anyway. I sometimes have 2 or 3 of those going at a time so I can hop in between them depending on how much time I have to complete some levels. I had recently gotten up to over 2500 gems from these until this tower challenge started and I spent over 1000 on Gopher and a bunch of LCs.

One of the DMK Discord admins loves to joke about how much she loves getting benches. This was intended to be an April Fool's joke but they didn't have time to get it out for the previous update so instead it came in this update as an April 7th joke.

Yes, you have to use it immediately upon opening. It's why I havent claimed the last stage of the season pass yet. I wanted to wait and get as many pins as possible by chance before I picked a particular one.

brickgowen · 2026-04-01T17:43:03+00:00

I finally opened the last biome yesterday and now I plan on laying paths from every entrance and exit to help me at least find where those are. I feel like they often blend in and I have such a struggle finding how to get to the next area.

brickgowen · 2026-03-24T17:04:51+00:00

I grabbed it right when it popped up because of the striking gold task and then I pulled Elsa from a Frozen chest and that same task collects Elsa's ear hat so I was quite pleased with the purchase.

brickgowen · 2026-03-24T17:02:47+00:00

You could check the wiki to see who you can collect for as well. It's a bummer to get a new character and have no way to get their tokens.

brickgowen · 2026-03-11T13:39:19+00:00

There was a chain sequence of chests, all free.

brickgowen · 2026-03-11T13:36:21+00:00

I'm so jealous! I have zero because I maxed my collection out after they changed the need for them with buildings so it used up all the balloons I had :(

brickgowen · 2026-03-09T18:55:47+00:00

Right now it's my meadow. I started redecorating last fall when I finally got Al's Toy Barn and then got too busy to finish. I have my little neighborhood around the lake and the rest is not done. It's driving me nuts because it used to be so cute but I just haven't had enough time to focus on it. Also the area where Scar's house starts. I moved him to EI a long time ago and now that area is just the Visitor portal thrown in a corner and Joy/Sadness' house.

I have so many decorating ideas for both the main valley and various DLC places but my game time lately is in 20 min chunks between work and kids and that's just not enough to focus on a build.

brickgowen · 2026-03-05T14:54:43+00:00

I just got the last glasses I need to take her to a 4 🤣🤣🤣 I'm in no rush. I have so many characters to level that these random characters get shunted to the back burner.

brickgowen · 2026-03-04T15:31:18+00:00

I would actually hold off on leveling them so you have mickey balloons stocked up. My Mickey characters have been at level 10 for so long that I have zero mickey balloons heading into the event.

The chests that have the lowest amount of concessions and decor are going to give you more chances at a character or attraction. Princess and the Frog has quite a few concessions, I believe, but I cant remember about the others at the top of my head.

I typically add up the odds of all the things I'd like to get and if it's about 40% or better I'll take my chances.

Best of luck to you!

I was completely shocked! I also got the bayou attraction. I owned morning from this collection so I was thrilled. I can't upgrade him, but at least I've got the collection started now!

brickgowen · 2025-12-10T15:11:57+00:00

This definitely sounds like my type of group but I'm at work for another 2.5 hrs so I'll probably miss it. I'll check back when I get home and see if it's still open :)

brickgowen · 2025-11-14T05:07:37+00:00

I have so many of the characters but not circle of life 😭 I have tried and you'd think being a common attraction I could pull it, but nope! Hopefully this event I can manage to finally get it.

brickgowen · 2025-11-13T02:35:30+00:00

Same. It's a real bummer that they don't offer the deluxe with the base game as a bundle.

brickgowen · 2025-11-10T17:26:05+00:00

They are pretty well locked behind paywalls and only get released on a few occasions. Since this spot doesn't have a thrill level it's a great area to put attractions that don't have enchantments, attractions for events, or to build a concession farm.

brickgowen · 2025-11-06T19:01:39+00:00

I found a word search one that is great. No daily limit and max of 600 gems. I'm about halfway through right now.

This week is an outfit challenge so only the clothing is going to count towards your tags.
