How to play?


Click to display
Explore all the rooms and wrap the Toys blocking the way so you can proceed to the next room.

You can open the doors by wrapping the gifts, but each action consumes energy .

🡆 🡆

Inside the rooms you can find:

Gifts

Divine fragments

An objective proposed by a quest-giver

Gifts to send to a friend

Gifts sent by friends

Tools (duct tape)

Sometimes you can choose which room to open from multiple options. Some require more wrapping to be opened, and some use more energy than others.

Don't forget to complete the event tutorial to get Duct Tape Tools in the Advent Calendar.


How does the energy work?

Click to display
Each toy requires a specific number of actions (clicks) to be wrapped, and each action costs a certain amount of energy.

Each Toy has life and power. The more power they have, the more energy you will use.

The energy refills 1 point every 4 hours (or faster if you upgrade it).

You can buy extra energy points with Passes.


You can use tools (duct tape) to upgrade your battery:

So it refills faster;

So it increases its maximum capacity.


Improve the Helper skills

Click to display
While on your journey, you will encounter tools (duct tape) to improve your Helper skills.

There are 3 different types of improvements:

Regeneration: Energy is restored more frequently.

Attack: Each click is worth 1 more attack point.

Energy capacity: Increase the maximum amount of energy you can have.

You must reach the final room and wrap the toy to win the Jackpot.

Once you’ve done that, you can:
➞ Go back to any previous room.
➞ Open doors you didn’t open before.
➞ Choose any room you want from the full map.



Jackpot: Feliz Navidad


Wrap the final toy in the main workshop to win the Christmas Divine Feliz Navidad.


Water Power


You can win fragments of the new divine Water Power in the event, by completing your Daily Objectives, and by opening Tyche’s Crowns.


The Divine Workshops


Click to display
The Divine Workshops will start on December 22nd.

Complete them to earn divine fragments for the corresponding horse.

You can re-enter the Divine Workshops after completing them, and you can also leave one at any time to start another.

are there duct tapes in the divine portals?

also, for planning purposes, do the rooms in the divine portals have high energy/wrapping requirements, or do the difficulties levels increase as you go, just like in the feliz navidad portal?

On Room 38 waiting for tape, I'll be able to upgrade after this, but it takes like 12 hours to pass a single room right now (and they just immediately get harder after the upgrade points so it's not like it speeds it up a ton.) default smiley (zzz)

Something that's a pain for me and others might agree - I tend to not like the task objectives (i.e. give an aging point to a horse over 2 years old, etc.) in order to move forward. During the week I sometimes have to just quickly jump on for events/notifications and jump back off until the weekend. So I am glad the option to skip them exist! With that said, if I want to skip the task, I have to donate a BMI. To avoid that loss (which can get significant if we haven't spent time saving up some of the 'cheaper' BMI before the event), I just end up waiting until the weekend instead when I can actually play and lose a ton of time in the event. In future, I would love if we got charged eq or even a small amount of passes (10-20) instead of having to donate whole BMI considering the value of those items. More players have enough eq or 10-20 passes (that they can also earn back easily through daily objectives) than enough BMI to sacrifice it for one space forward in an event.

note: I have only gotten one of these task objectives so far, to be fair. So they could all be really easy (i.e. donate xx to Ow, etc.). I am just speaking assuming that I might get a similar one to the one I have currently, or some that end up taking longer (i.e. play with a foal for 20 hours, etc.)

Pro Tip! If you don't want to do Objective doors: Get a lot of friends.

Chances are, after a few hours, your cheapest door will NOT be the objective one but a package from a friend, so you can skip Objective doors.

I usually \ just skip the obj door. I have tons of worthless BMIs to throw at it like Apollo's lyres, Hypnos blankets and Pluto's parchments.

I have about 11 hours before I get my next tape. I am so tempted to upgrade power first. I am so tired of these rooms requiring 3 on the bottom. It will be hard to wait to upgrade though. I'm just watching the days pass by and I am wondering if I will get to any of the other divine portals.

Tip, if you want to upgrade power first: Tomorrow, Advent calendar default smiley :)

Re: Crookedstar915

OMG! I can't do that.

Thank you for letting me know. That helps. I was beginning to wonder if I was doing it wrong.

I appreciate it. default smiley (y)

I'm on 32. but I'm not trying to get to 100. I doubt it's possible without spending passes so I'm not doing that. I'm waiting for the divine doors to open there are 2 (Mortella and Hen Ghittain) that I'm more than half way done with frag wise that I'm going to go for.

I'm on door 32 as well, no passes spent and I started fairly early after the game became available. I've just been choosing the "cheapest" doors in terms of energy, unless it's a duct tape one that takes priority over the rest. Hopefully it'll be enough to get Feliz! The animations are super cute in this game, I like it default smiley :)

What I'd really love is if there was a timer to complete the objective in, so your choices for getting through are to complete the objective or wait out the timer of maybe ten to fifteen minutes, allowing everyone to progress. Of course for those impatient peeps who don't want to wait, the BMI donation thing could still remain an option.

I swear at least for one old event they used to have a thing where you could either wait out the timer or do the task when one of these things came up. was probably years ago though so I can't really remember but I feel like that was definitely a thing at one point, probably before the BMI "donation" thing.

I wish there was other ways of getting tape than just waiting. Waiting for calendar or waiting for energy, and even then it might not show up. Maybe something like the horse shoe events where the community does actions to fill bars to win tape / tape fragments for everyone. Or just something to do to increase chances of finding one as a ufo? or heck just let us buy some with passes / money.

There are three duct tapes in the Calendar, on days 12, 16 and 22.
You cannot finish the event with full upgrades if you don't get them.

There's also one in the Secret Santa event, same rules apply.

Okay, we'll see how this goes...I updated wrapping power to 3 points this morning. How far are people who upgraded the timer to 1hr 30 min and bought a few packs the first day?
