Guide to All Travel Town Events

Maximize your winnings by understanding how each special event in Travel Town works. This guide breaks down the different event types and provides strategies for success.

Why Events are Crucial for Progress

While the main gameplay of completing tasks is always available, special events are where you'll find the best opportunities for growth. These limited-time challenges offer a wealth of rewards that are difficult to obtain otherwise, including huge amounts of energy, diamonds, and rare items. Actively participating in every event is the single fastest way to level up and rebuild your town.

Events also add variety to the game, introducing new mechanics and goals that keep the merging experience fresh and exciting. To make the most of them, you'll need plenty of energy, so be sure to collect your daily free energy links before you start!

Common Types of Events in Travel Town

Most events in Travel Town fall into a few common categories. Understanding the goal of each type is the first step to forming a winning strategy.

1. Milestone Events

These are the most frequent type of event. They are non-competitive and focus on personal progress. A progress bar appears at the top of the screen, and you fill it by completing specific actions.

• How they work: You earn event points for actions like merging items, completing tasks, or spending energy. As you accumulate points, you unlock a series of milestone rewards.
• Example Actions: "Merge items 100 times," "Create a Level 5 Shell," "Spend 200 energy."
• Strategy: Consistency is key. These events are a marathon, not a sprint. Check the requirements and focus on the most efficient way to earn points. For example, if the event rewards merging, focus on creating many low-level merges rather than one high-level item. The goal is to reach the final grand prize before the timer runs out.

2. Competitive Leaderboard Events

These events pit you against a small group of other players. The goal is to earn more event points than your opponents to secure a top spot on the leaderboard for the best prizes.

• How they work: Similar to milestone events, you earn points for specific actions. However, your point total is ranked against other players. The higher your rank at the end of the event, the better your rewards.
• Strategy: Resource management is critical. It can be tempting to spend all your diamonds and energy at the start, but it's often better to see how the leaderboard develops. A common strategy is to save your resources for a final push in the last few hours of the event to surprise your opponents and snipe a top position.

3. Mini-Game Events (e.g., Mysterious Fossil)

These events introduce a completely new gameplay mechanic or a separate game board.

• How they work: You earn special event currency (like pickaxes or keys) from your main game board, which you then spend in the mini-game. The goal is to complete the mini-game's objectives to win exclusive rewards.
• Example Event: The "Mysterious Fossil" event, where you use pickaxes to clear sand and uncover fossils. Our Mysterious Fossil guide has a detailed walkthrough.
• Strategy: For these events, your primary focus should be on generating as much of the special currency as possible. This often means focusing on tasks and producer taps that have a high chance of dropping the event items. Manage your special currency wisely within the mini-game to maximize your progress.

General Tips for All Events

1. Prepare in Advance: If you know an event is starting soon, try to have a full energy bar and a clean game board ready to go.
2. Read the Rules: Always tap the event icon and read the "Help" or "Info" section. Understand exactly what actions give you points so you don't waste energy on non-productive tasks.
3. Focus: It's difficult to complete a special event and your regular town tasks at the same time. During an event, it's usually best to dedicate most of your energy and board space to the event's objectives.
4. Don't Be Afraid to Sell: Board space is a premium resource. Don't be afraid to sell off non-essential items to make room for event-related merges.

By approaching each event with a clear strategy, you'll transform them from simple distractions into powerful engines for your town's growth. Good luck, and may your rewards be plentiful!
