Events Guide

The events menu in Puzzles & Survival is an important source of new options for gaining rewards in the game. You should check it each day to see what events are active and what activities you can do to participate in them. The 'Upcoming' tab section will also give you a heads up of what will happen soon.

There are several types of Events that you can find, some you can progress on your own while others will involve your alliance. Below if an introduction to the types of events.

As well as checking to see what you need to do, remember to also return and collect any rewards earned before the event expires.

Defense of Alliance Event

The defense of alliance event will be active for a day but will require one of the leaders of your alliance to activate it. It is best for them to do this when as many alliance members are online as possible.

Your alliance members will need to attack and clear each wave, including a boss enemy for each. Each wave will increase in difficulty.

To make it fair for all, the march time to zombies will be 30 seconds each way for everyone.
