Mini Events

Game events are special events in the game during which you can complete special tasks and get unique rewards.

There are two types of game events: main events and mini-events. The main difference between them is the number of tasks and their duration.
Main Events last longer, and their rewards are more valuable.
**Mini-events** are the same as main events, but with a shorter duration, special tasks, and valuable prizes. They take place along with main events.
Some mini events require players to be at a specific Game Level to participate.

* Air Races
* Bloom Festival
* Colorful Adventure
* Darkwood Stories
* Emerald Mystery
* Gremlin Fun
* Ice Cream for Yeti
* Rabbit Cafe
* Search for the Talisman
