Introduction

Move across the map and clear obstacles, to complete tasks! Each action requires energy which earned by beating levels, waiting until it refills for free, buying with coins. You can also find energy-filled bushes on the map. The maximum amount of energy that refills over time is 100 points.

Energy is only credited once you've successfully beaten a Match-3 level:

• Regular levels — 7
• Hard levels — 21
• Super-hard levels — 35

Guide

• To perform any action, tap the desired object and then the energy icon to confirm your choice.
• You can also activate a special dynamite booster by using 30 or buy it from the store.
• Some obstacles cannot be removed at once as they contain several parts.
• Tap the task button on the left side: a mini-tablet will open with all available tasks. Select the task, click "Find" and a beacon will appear on the map to guide your way.
• Complete all chapters of the event to receive the final rewards and first stage of the decoration.
• Along with completing the event tasks you can also
  • Collect items for the Adventure Time which gives you additional rewards including the second stage of the decoration!
  • Collect heaps of coins, and pots of energy which can be used to progress in the event
  • Open special treasure chests which contains energy, lives and match-3 boosters for the expedition.

Lucky

• Spend 700 energy point to "charge up", and Lucky will help placing an expedition dynamite in a specified area.
• Lucky can only place dynamites in areas that are not covered by the clouds. However, the blast area can include covered area.
• The difference between Lucky's dynamite and a regular expedition dynamite is that the former is free (after paying the initial fee to get Lucky), whereas the latter costs 30 T-cash each.
