'''Hello little elfs and forum reindeer,'''

Once again the holiday season will be upon us and we would like to reward our players with an in-game advent calender. Many of you may know this event from last year. Presents will be floating in the ocean from December 1st until December 24th, and you will be able to open one each day(24 presents in total).  
2010 was the first year that InnoGames held the Advent Calendar event.  It was a big success and was the inspiration for all of the other holiday events.  2011 saw the return of the Advent Calendar as well as graphical changes to the game itself. Unlike in 2010, the 2011 Advent Calendar event was not giving out an [[Awards#Special_Awards|award]] for finding all 24 gifts.


'''The contents of the presents may be:'''
Presents can only be opened on the day that they are marked for, so players cannot go back in on the 24th and receive all of the gifts at once. Also, with the change to 2.0, the ''source code trick'' no longer worked.  It was removed from the code itself and placed into the map data.
 
-resources
 
-units
 
-spells
 
-other bonuses
 
This event will be active on all worlds.
 
'''Advent calendar guide:'''
 
'''1)''' Look to the bottom right corner of your screen and find the present there:

'''2)''' Hover your mouse over it and a window will open telling you which ocean today's present is in.
 
You always use the first numbers of the X and Y coordinates
 
so X: '''4'''56 and Y:'''7'''89 would be shown as ocean: 47
 
So the present is between X coordinates: 400-499 and Y coordinates: 700-799!
 
'''3)''' Insert the X and Y coordinates from the present hint into the map navigator tool and you should find the present for that day swimming in that ocean. Remember, it is nice to communicate the position of the gift to your alliance as a courtesy.

Grepolis runs special events for some of the major holidays around the world. At Easter we have an easter egg hunt, at Halloween we hunt pumpkins and at Christmas...

Halloween Pumpkin Hunt

2011 was the first year to see the pumpkin hunt take place. It was not available on the 1.26 Worlds as the coding was made specifically for the 2.0 Worlds. Players were given the task of hunting for pumpkins in the oceans within a specific time, and received awards for completing this task.

In-Game Event To start a "pumpkin hunt" click on a pumpkin in the ocean. Each pumpkin hunt lasts 60 seconds. During this time you must scroll over the map and collect as many pumpkins as possible. For each pumpkin you collect in the 60 seconds, you will increase the duration of the special Halloween spell on your current city for one hour. The Halloween spell increases your production of all your resources by 5%.



  • Example 1:

I activate the "pumpkin hunt" and find 3 pumpkins in 60 sec. My current town will receive a 5% increased resource production spell for 3 hours.

  • Example2:

I activate the "pumpkin hunt" and find 8 pumpkins in 60 sec. My current town will receive a 5% increased resource production spell for 8 hours.

Additional Information

  • You can only collect each pumpkin once. Also you may not conduct a "pumpkin hunt" as long as the Halloween spell is active. A maximum of 10 pumpkins can be collected during each "pumpkin hunt".

Christmas Advent Calendar

2010 was the first year that InnoGames held the Advent Calendar event. It was a big success and was the inspiration for all of the other holiday events. 2011 saw the return of the Advent Calendar as well as graphical changes to the game itself. Unlike in 2010, the 2011 Advent Calendar event was not giving out an award for finding all 24 gifts.

Presents can only be opened on the day that they are marked for, so players cannot go back in on the 24th and receive all of the gifts at once. Also, with the change to 2.0, the source code trick no longer worked. It was removed from the code itself and placed into the map data.

Gifts ranged from:

  • Spells
  • Units
  • Double BP for 24 hours
  • Resources
  • City Fesitval

Additional information:

  • The time used for this competition will be the Grepolis.net server time GMT +1
  • The hint for the day is updated every day at midnight at 00:00 GMT+1
  • Each world has different gift coordinates.
