Arkæologi 2019

'An ancient tomb awaits brave explorers. Dust off your Shovel, Brush and Dynamite and be prepared to delve into the depths of a cave filled with riches.'

How can I participate in the Archaeology Event?

To begin your excavation, select the Archaeology banner in the game. Once the Archaeology Event has started, you can access the event window. Grab your Shovel, and let's go!

Uncovering the relics

Upon opening the event window, you will see the cave's layout ready for you to explore. Use the different tools available to you to clear sand from tiles, and advance your way further into the cave.

Three different tools can be used to uncover the hidden treasures of the cave.

Brush	Use the Brush to remove sand from a tile. The Brush can only be used on sand tiles, and only clears one tile at a time.

Shovel	Use the Shovel on an empty tile to clear all the sand in this column! However, if a rock tile is blocking the way, sand behind it cannot be cleared with this tool!

Dynamite	Use Dynamite on an empty tile to clear all of the surrounding tiles. Keep in mind however that rock tiles cannot be destroyed with Dynamite!

To collect an uncovered prize, click on it with no tool selected. Alternatively, uncovered prizes will automatically be collected when they get pushed out of the event window. Keep in mind however that still covered prizes will not be collected this way!

Getting more tools

You can find more tools in the tomb itself, but there is also a way to exchange your event scrolls for more tools. Press the -Button to open the Tool Shop. Here, you can either purchase single tools for your scrolls or buy bundles that give you a better deal!

Scrolls themselves can be gained as a daily login bonus and from Quests in the Archaeology Event.

Treasures

Many different treasures await you on your way through the tomb, but they are buried in the sand. To see them, the light of your exploration needs to fall on the sand tiles. If they're in darkness still, you won't be able to see if a sand tile contains and treasures.

Before	After

As you uncover tiles, you will be in with a chance to unveil a vase, more tools (Brushes, Shovels and Dynamite) to aid your progress, or coveted Golden Idols. Hover your mouse over vases to find out what is on offer in each one. Once you've uncovered a reward fully, click on it to claim your prize. Be careful! Make sure you don't advance deeper into the tunnel without uncovering the rewards you want. Once you go too far, there is no going back, and you'll lose sight of the reward.

	Gold Idols are a special prize to uncover that will bring you closer to the Grand Prize reward. Once you reach 20 Gold Idols, you will receive the Grand Prize which is displayed at the top of the event window.
	Tools can also be found among the buried treasures. You can find all the tools of the event!
	Vases come in a variety of different styles. Once uncovered, they will have a random reward for you and provide the chance to win the Daily Special. Tapping the buried vase or hovering the mouse over it also reveals what it may contain.
