Neighborhoods

Join a Neighborhood or start your own, and cooperate with others in special seasonal events! The top neighborhoods win awesome rewards, like vouchers, gems and coins.

### Neighborhood buildings

* Neighborhood Arch
	+ This is where you can join or create a neighborhood. Once you are in a neighborhood, the arch shows the emblem of the neighborhood you are in.

* Storage (red storage shed) - Storage for event items and tokens - Storage can be upgraded using collectibles, excess tokens and items can be discarded to free up space.

* Event Building on plaza: Jobs are found here
* Chalkboard: Make event thoughts

### Leaderboards

* Event group - List of clubs you have been grouped up with during event
* Top 100 clubs - updates real-time during events, every 5 minutes. The leaderboard resets when a new event starts.
* Hall of Fame - the neighborhood that ranks #1 at the end of an event gets permanently added to this list of all time winners.

### Neighborhood Events
