Summer is the time for adventure, and what is a better adventure than a Wildlife Park! Trek through plains and forests. See the beauty of animals thriving in their natural habitat. While the journey will be rewarding in many senses, keen-eyed adventurers may discover a pattern in the Pawprints left behind. Tracking these may lead to secret locations yet unblemished by humans. For any willing to make this journey, there could be some extra rewards in store. The brand-new Wildlife event in Forge of Empires will take place from July 13th to August 2nd.

A walkthrough video explaining all the features is available here: https://youtu.be/CQXPaTeKGws

At the beginning of the event players will meet Diane, who is a biologist at the Wildlife Park, and responsible for ground-breaking research within her field. As a unique opportunity, she asks for an assistant and will introduce players to the park workers, animals, and habitats. To kick things off, she will give players 21 daily quests, and 34 rush quests. To begin the adventure, players will use Entrance Tickets to start playing the Level. Players will start with 4 Entrance Tickets, and they can gain further by completing Quests and Incidents around the City. In addition, they will also replenish over time.

The Wildlife event is a “Pop two” mechanic which means players should look out for 2 (or more) adjacent blocks of the same color and type. Once found, they can be popped by simply tapping (or clicking) on them. However, matches are not limited to two. Players should be on lookout always for bigger pops, with fife (or more) of the same block, creating a Reward Chest. Players will need to pop blocks to drop Pawprints down and receive them. Each pop costs a move. A level has limited moves and will end once all moves are used.              

There are five different block color types and every single one offers a different Reward. In addition, matching more blocks together will also increase the star rating of the Chest Reward. These are rated from 1 to 5 stars and shown on blocks and Reward Chests. Each Reward Chest will also offer players a chance at the Daily Special. To make progress toward the Grand Prize players will need to collect Pawprints, which automatically spawn on the board. Therefore, some strategy is required. At the start of the event, players will have 200 Coins, however they gain further from logging in once per day, as well as completing quests and incidents around the city. Every 65 coins spent will grant ten additional moves.

Coins can also be spent on Boosters, which will grant special abilities. The Hammer removes one color block from the board. With the Windmill players can change four adjacent blocks to a chosen color. And the Lightning removes all blocks of a chosen color from the board. For the Grand Prize players can choose between Bear Mountain, Moose Mountain, or Eagle Mountain. Each complete with its own unique bonus.
