Download the update and get rubies for free!

The Christmas update (v. 1.23) was introduced on the 4th of December 2017. Players who downloaded the update were rewarded with 5 free rubies. The Christmas Update adds 3 new Hidden Object Locations to the game: 2 event locations - Snowy Yard and Cozy House and 1 regular location School; as well as adding 400 new Quests and 36 new Collections.

All 3 locations remain locked for now. On the first day of the update, only the anomaly tutorial quest Frosty Anomaly was playable. At midnight, the Desk Guardian mini event challenge Winter Turmoil was activated.

Winter Turmoil Desk Guardian Challenge
Sparky the deer fawn is the second Desk Guardian, a reward earned by participating in the Winter Turmoil event. Players may upgrade Sparky for better daily rewards.

The Winter Turmoil special mini-event challenge is available to players from Level 7 and up. Players have 14 days starting from December 5, 2017 to complete the challenge of collecting a certain amount of Christmas Cookies. Players may then exchange the Christmas Cookies for certain items or to upgrade their new Desk Guardian Sparky.

Christmas Cookies are found by successfully playing any of the unlocked Hidden Object Locations. Regular locations award 1 to 3 Christmas Cookies per win and Premium Locations (those which require an access pass) award 3 to 5 Christmas Cookies per win.

The following table shows the upgraded Sparkies, the number of Christmas Cookies needed for each stage upgrade, the reward given for completing each stage upgrade, and the daily rewards the upgraded Sparky Desk Guardian offers.
