Events are special activities hosted by game admins or by players in rented rooms and owned properties.

Admin events can occur dynamically, often with short notice. When a surprise event begins, a limited-time portal typically opens in the Mainland to transport players directly to the event staging area.

Players can also advertise events at their own rooms and properties. These player-hosted events are listed on the Events tab of the Navigator.

Active and Upcoming Events

There are currently no active or scheduled recurring admin events. Keep an eye on server announcements for surprise event portals opening in the Mainland.

Player-hosted event listings appear on the Navigator's Events tab as owners create and host them.

Player-Hosted Events

Players can host an event at:

  • A rented room
  • A player-owned property

To host a player event:

  1. Open the Navigator and find the room you rent or the property you own.
  2. Start a new event on it.
  3. Give the event a name, a category and a short description, then publish it.
  4. Run the activity yourself at that location — an event is an announcement, the game doesn't schedule or score it.

Published events are listed on the Navigator's Events tab. Other players can use the listing to find the room or property and enter the event. A place can only have one live event at a time.

Owned properties can also appear in the Navigator's Mine tab. A property shows a light-on indicator in the Rooms list while its owner is inside.

Finding Events

Players can find events through several systems:

Discovery method Function
Server announcements Announces surprise admin events and limited-time activities.
Mainland portals Transports players to the staging area for certain admin events.
Navigator Events tab Lists player-hosted events and the room or property each one runs in.
Navigator Helps players find and enter event rooms and properties across the fleet.

The Navigator's room list is shared across every server. Entering an event room functions as a single hop, regardless of which server hosts it.

The Navigator is browse-only while a player is in a wilderness realm. Players cannot teleport out of an active fight or unsafe wilderness area.

Past and Surprise Events

Falling Furni

Falling Furni is a competitive elimination mini-game hosted by admins. It features high-stakes rounds where players must rely on quick positioning to survive and claim exclusive prizes.

Mechanics

  • Entry: When the event is announced, a portal opens in the Mainland leading to an open room. Players must wait in a line to enter the main play area.
  • Gameplay: Matches generally feature 20 to 30 players. During the round, chairs suddenly appear in the arena. Players must quickly sit in a chair to secure their safety.
  • Elimination: Once all available chairs are occupied, the two players left standing without a chair are eliminated from the game.
  • The Standoff: When the player count is reduced to the final 2–3 contestants, a "standoff" begins. Players are instructed to stand exactly 1 tile apart, or form a triangle with a single tile in the center. The first player to successfully sit in the final chair wins the game.

Shovel Event

Shovel Event is a server-wide treasure hunt hosted by admins. When the event starts, every player is given a Shovel and must dig around the world to find a hidden prize buried somewhere on the map.

Mechanics

  • Entry: No entry required — all players automatically receive a Shovel when the event is announced.
  • Gameplay: Dig tiles across the world to locate the hidden prize. Tiles highlight red if the prize is not buried there, and green if you find it.
  • Reward: The prize is a varying amount of Gold.

Wishing Well

The Wishing Well was a limited charity event hosted on the Mainland. Players donated real USD, converted to SOL through donate.gg, to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
