The maples are turning, lanterns line the paths, and the smell of ramen drifts through the crisp autumn air! This year, the Fall Event takes you to Japan, where the season of red and gold leaves (Momiji) brings the whole town out to celebrate. Legendary figures like the swordsman Miyamoto Musashi and the warrior Nakano Takeko stroll among the festival stalls, with treats and surprises waiting around every corner. Pull up a stool, warm your hands, and settle in. The harvest festival is yours to enjoy, one round at a time!
Experience the Fall Event from August 31 to September 21!

Mini-game: Pop, Match, and Collect!
The heart of the Event is a familiar one. Work through the Event quests to earn your Event Currency, then spend it to play the pop-style mini-game and fill your Grand Prize bar!
You'll need three things to play:
Wooden Spoon
Starts a round. It refills over time (up to 4), and you also get more from Quests, Incidents, Daily Challenges, Event Pass, or by buying with Diamonds.
Sacks of Flour
Buys extra moves and boosters. You start with 150 and earn more from Quests, Logins, and Incidents.
Mason Marks
Event Currency, spent in the Item Store. You earn them by dropping Reward Jars on the board.
Press Start to begin a round. Each round uses between 1 and 3 Wooden Spoons, depending on the multiplier you select. Your chosen spoons are consumed when the round begins.
Before you begin, you can choose how much to commit with Multi-Spoon Selection:
1 Spoon: standard progress and rewards.
2 Spoons: 2x Grand Prize progress, League Points and Reward Jar contents.
3 Spoons: 3x progress and rewards.
Important note: if you play with 2 or 3 spoons, your Booster and extra-move costs scale up to match.
The Board: how a round plays out?
Each level gives you a Board of tiles in four colors, picked at random from a pool of five. You begin with 25 moves per round, and every pop costs 1 move. Need more? Buy 5 extra moves for 65 Sacks of Flour.
Here's what you're doing:
Pop matching tiles. Click 2 or more adjacent tiles of the same color to clear them.
Make Reward Jars. Pop 5 or more matching tiles at once to create a Reward Jar. The bigger the group, the higher the star rating (1 to 6 stars) and the better the reward.
Drop rewards to the bottom. A Reward Jar only pays out once you drop it to the bottom of the board. The same goes for Coffee Cups, which appear as you clear space - drop them to push your Grand Prize progress forward.
If you ever run out of valid moves, the Board reshuffles automatically. There are no dead ends, so as long as you have moves, you can keep playing!
Tip: Hold out for bigger groups when you can. Larger groups create higher-star Reward Jars, so it can be worth waiting for a stronger match rather than clearing every pair immediately.
Reward Jars: five colors, five rewards
Each tile color pays out a different kind of reward, and only four of the five colors show up in any given game. Every Reward Jar that reaches the bottom also awards Mason Marks for the Item Store.
Color
Contains
Mason Marks and Forge Points
Mason Marks, Coins, Supplies, and Rush Items
Mason Marks, Goods, and Building Fragments
Mason Marks, Medals, and Blueprints
Mason Marks and Units
The star rating on the jar decides both the quantity and the quality of what you get.
Boosters: the right tool for the job
When the board won't cooperate, three boosters can carve you a path. Stock up with Sacks of Flour, or earn them from Rival Challenges.
Booster
Effect
Fork: picks off a single tile, perfect for setting up the combo you need.
Spatula: clears an entire row, letting Reward Jars and Coffee Cups drop down.
Rolling Pin: flattens a full column in one swoop to clear a path to the goodies below.
Ran out of Boosters? No worries! You can always restock them in the Booster Shop, accessible from the game board:
The Golden Spoon: play without limits
The Golden Spoon is a premium item worth saving for the right moment. Activate it and you can start unlimited rounds for 5 minutes without spending any Wooden Spoons.
Golden Spoons can be earned from questline milestones, the Golden Event Pass and Rival Challenges, with a small chance to find one through Daily Challenges.
Tip: Save your Golden Spoon for when you've got a healthy stock of Sacks of Flour and a solid block of time. Firing off round after round with extra moves ready is where it really pays off.
Item Store: spend your Mason Marks here!
Instead of random daily prizes, the event runs a single Item Store where you choose what to buy with your Mason Marks.
The Store refreshes for free once a day; manual refreshes cost Mason Marks, and that cost resets daily.
Discounts pop up on some items at random, so it's worth a look each day.
Item Store runs on its own timer, separate from the event itself. Check when it closes and spend down your remaining Mason Marks before it does.
Quick Tips
Chase big groups, not fast ones. Star rating scales hard, so a patient 5-or-6-tile pop beats spamming pairs.
Match your spoons to your supplies. Only go 2x or 3x when you have the Sacks of Flour to cover the higher move and booster costs.
Drop everything before the round ends. Jars and Coffee Cups only count once they hit the bottom. Don't leave them stranded.
Watch the Item Store clock. It closes on its own schedule. Spend your Mason Marks before the shutters come down.
