    Ingredients: 16 x Glue Pots + 13 x Broken Glass
    Time: 7 minutes and 30 seconds

    Each player will receive 1 x Portable Greenhouse to try the mini-game!

    * How can I get more drops?
    • They both can be gifted to/from neighbours and friends, for free as long as it is one of your 5-7 free daily gifts, or for the same price as in the shopping center. You can receive up to 20 gifts per day.
    • You can buy drops in bulk from the Shopping Center (see below)
    • You can get some in the event baskets.
    • If you have a Magic Tree, it will reward 1 x Glue Pot per harvest
    * Is there anything else I should know?
    Yes! You need to collect drops to mill the special item to play the mini-game. The event has 2 parts -

    1) Each Game played, counts towards the "Played Games" Bar to earn rewards. Each game played earns you Crates O' Herbs to win the special seeds to grow.
    2) Sow the special seeds to harvest Herbs to donate to the "Task List" and earn rewards.

    The Crate O' Herbs can be opened from the tab on the Game layer or in your "Consumables" inventory.​
    This is how the event place looks like:

    Clicking on the Greenhouse will start the mini game. Each Game needs 1 Portable Greenhouse to start.
    *First you need to choose a starting tile:
    You need to search for the buried treasure:
    mini game layer.png
    Choose a starting tile on the Map and click on it to use the shovel to dig up that tile.
    If no treasure is found, an arrow will be displayed showing the general direction in which the Buried Treasure can be located.​

    You can choose the next tile following the arrow's direction or skip to another tile:​
