## Trivia

* This event was released differently to some other events, such as Mew Year's Eve. Instead of being included in a previous update to go live on December 1st in your timezone, it was released in its own update. This meant that some players - iOS players in far ahead timezones - got the update as late as the early hours of December 2nd.
* This event has a different standard quest reward scale from previous events.
	+ The payout does not appear to be based on quest duration, but strictly on quest level. This means that the longer duration versions of these quests will give the exact same amount of items as the shorter duration versions. The developers did this as an attempt to level the playing field during events. Alongside the manual quest level selector, this is a way to make sure that players aren't penalized for having progressed in the game.
		- It can still, however, be gamed by way of the materials booster, to similar results as before. See here for more details.
* Because of the unique way the quests were released - one new one each day until Purrismas day - there was much confusion in the initial stages, with many players believing the event storyline was over, or thinking that their game was glitchy.
* Many of the quests' requirements were involving the Charismatic, Sneaky, Crafty, Magical, Magical and Sneaky skills, the skills of fully evolved Edward, Kai and Pipsqueak.
* There was a glitch that came with one of the Mew Year's Eve updates that caused the Event Story to restart, and then become stuck on the second quest, *Lady Demands*. It is generally known as the 'Lady Demands Glitch/Bug'.
