Get your gift wrapping skills warmed up by playing the Gifts Workshop!


This event will end on 2026-01-05 15:00.

Water Power will be available until 2026-01-06 15:00.

The time matches the time zone chosen on your account.


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.


Mobile version
Click to display
The mobile version is available for this event.

Hello everyone, Friendly Family Nalu here.
Here are some quick tips for the event, just look at the category you want.

Important notice about Event cross-compatibility:
Click to display
Purple tape items are hidden in:
- Advent Calendar (Dec 12th, 16th and 22nd)
- Secret Santa.

You'll have to take part in BOTH Events to get the full Purple Tapes to fully upgrade your Bushy.



What you should do as SOON as the Event starts:
Click to display
The event is time-sensitive, so you might want to make sure you'll be here at the start to complete your Tutorial as fast as possible.
The timer starts as soon as you finish the Tutorial.

The Tutorial will take you through a couple of passages, will force you to upgrade Bushy the first time and then, after a while, it'll let you go.



Upgrades:
Click to display
This is what I used and found myself comfortable with, but keep in mind that you might want to tailor the experience to your own time availability.

- First upgrade: TUTORIAL, Energy capacity
- Regeneration Time Improvement
- Wrapping Power Improvement
- Regeneration Timer Improvement
- Wrapping Power Improvement
- Wrapping Power Improvement
- Regeneration Time Improvement
- Energy capacity
- Energy capacity

As I said, this was my personal experience, but you might want to change it to your tastes.

As long as you keep Energy Capacity LAST, you should be fine. I know it's tempting to upgrade Energy capacity first because it's Cheap and it gives you 6 energy, BUT a level 1 wrap is 1 point, while a level 4 wrap is 4 points per energy. Need I say anything more?

default smiley (d) ENERGY CAPACITY LAST. Repeat after me. LAST!! default smiley (y)


General Tips:
Click to display
- ALWAYS go for the Purple tape. ALWAYS. You cannot afford to skip any. You can come back and get prizes later, but missing an upgrade will be a serious detriment to you. If you see a Tape roll, give up everything and get the Tape.

- Purple Tape rooms: 5, 11, 16, 19, 23, 26, 30, 34, 38, 43, 46, 51, 57, 61, 64, 68, 71, 74, 78, 81, 84, 87, 91, 95

- ALWAYS check the top of the door you want to go through. Every door has a Wrapping power needed (at the bottom), but most importantly, an Energy Per Wrapping value at the top. Sometimes the door with more Wrapping power is NOT the door that will take up more energy.

This is an image with the old Oni's Castle, but the concept is the same.

The top shows how much ENERGY any wrapping action takes

The bottom shows how much WRAPPING total it takes.

So in this case, you need 3 wraps, and each wrap takes 1 energy from your bar, so a total of THREE.

- The Christmas horse is free if you want to go after him.



The 'Going after a full sweep of Divines' tips
Click to display
- If you REALLY want the Divine (or more!), consider investing on the FIRST DAY. A few purchased Energy packs (about 270p) will give you the 2h Regeneration upgrade on the first day. Those are extra lives that come in handy!

- You can enter and leave any Lab at will, and your progress will be saved. This is very important if you don't want to miss out on upgrades, but you'd rather go for another Divine instead of Feliz Navidad.

- Open your 16 crowns on Day One if you're going for the Fragments divine (Water Power). You'll have to spend them anyway but, in case you luck out, you can avoid the Fragment Doors and just go for the cheaper ones! default smiley :d


I'll be counting on you to bump this post because I cannot quote myself, thank you. default smiley (l)default smiley (l)



Quick and easy Quotable Upgrade list, thank you maaik for saving it

Take care and Happiest Holidays default smiley (l)

Paid to get onto two hours straight away. Pricey, but it will work out cheaper in the end, as there are multiple divines I want to get from this.

Please make some button to turn off the pop-ups whenever you obtaint a gift! Especially the fragment-one, I honestly do not care about fragments and they make my computer load slower. Yes, I have animations off.

I have a couple questions first is it possible to win every Divine that is offered in the 25 doors a piece. And is it hard to get through these doors and do you get the Divine at the end not just fragments. Second is it possible to do this without spending any money?

Hello!

Thank you so much Nalu93 for your tips, incredible as always!! I'm having some doubts, as it is my first time playing this event:

1. What difference does it make to buy Energy packs on the first day? Instead of buying, for example, in the last days, if I see that I need it?

2. The order of upgrades to do with the purple tapes is:
- Bar I (tutorial, mandatory)
- Regen I
- Power I
- Regen II
- Power II
- Power III
- Regen III
- Bar II
- Bar III
And this will garantee the christmas divine?

Thank you
default smiley :)

I think what Nalu is saying is that, if we buy the 3 packs on the first day (which I just did), we will be able to upgrade regeneration on the first day so we in essence get more things on our bar (I can't remember what they are called) faster. That allows us to move faster and not wait for four hours for another bar.

That is correct. Upgrading the bar Today will give you a 2h recharge, so you'll get 6 extra moves for tomorrow and you can then just focus on upgrading Wrapping I.
I think it's 4 packs and not 3, but essentially that's it. A 2h timer is much quicker than a 4h timer.

I tested the event with that, and I finished it within the timeframe, but you can modify it as needed in case (do not upgrade bar until last) default smiley :)

Fragments are scattered throughout the laboratories, so you can fill in any incomplete bar you might have. You are guaranteed 1000 fragments in the laboratory.

If you give up Feliz and focus on the Divine labs as soon as they open you should be able to get Priar karti hoon or Hen Gittian, BUT you'll need a fully upgraded Bushy, so I suggest you stick to the main lab until you get to room 87. default smiley :)

So it means we have to choose one of the five divines? We cannot have all five (six, if we count Feliz Navidad), a choice must be made? And not all are as easy to get?

You can't get all of them without using passes.

If you use passes, then you can get them all

That is correct.

Pryar and Hen Gittian are easier to get, Anise and Pixel are more expensive default smiley :)

Would it be possible to get both Feliz Navidad & another divine for free/cheap if you already have some fragments for it? For example I have 348 fragments for Hen Ghittian. Or would this cost a significant amount of passes?

Unfortunately the last Jackpot is 400 fragments, so you'll have to finish the whole Hen Gittian laboratory to get him.
I'm estimating about 1200-1500p for Hen Gittian but we couldn't test the laboratories, so I cannot make sure until they open default smiley :)

There are 1000 fragments scattered throughout the entire laboratory, only the end has an entire lot of 400 fragments. As long as you finish the laboratory, you'll get 1000 fragments.

ooooh so each laboratory has 1000 fragments? And the 1000 frags are separated in smaller bundles in different doors within each laboratory, with the last door being 400 frags (in each lab). Is that correct?

(sorry for all the question, this event confuses me haha)

That's correct.
The Hen Gittian laboratory has one big lot of 400 fragments behind the last door, and the remaining 600 are scattered in little packets throughout the lab.
The same is for the other four.

The main laboratory has enough fragments that, combined with the Daily Objectives, you'll need about 16 Tyche Crown to get 1000 fragments for Water Poter default smiley :)

Not the best line up. Only going for 2 of those side doors.

Also - if you're paying passes to try to get Feliz Navidad early and get any of the other doors, then try to get 200 Passes from him by the 25th so you can factor those passes in. default smiley :)
