Special Event End Notice
Timed Challenges are Special Events during which the Player must complete a series of quests within a specified time duration and achieve the "winning conditions" to gain the reward.
First introduced during the game's Foggy Ship Update on September 21, 2015, Timed Challenges have been included in subsequent game updates which unveil new Hidden Object Locations in the Seekers Notes: Hidden Mystery game.
Updates with Timed Challenges occur on a monthly basis and offer Players the chance to earn unique rewards such as special new Avatars, talismans, chests and decorations for the desktop. Each challenge brings new monsters/ creatures to banish along with new quests and new collections, all of which disappear once the Timed Challenge has ended.
Please note that once the timer for an event expires, it is no longer possible to earn the rewards for that event.
Missed out on an event? Don't worry!
Collection Items and Fixers from all past events are available as Chests for purchase from the Store. The Hidden Object Locations from past events become integrated into the overall storyline so new Players will unlock them upon reaching the required Experience Level in the game.
