Tiles Survive! runs events regularly, and they’re where both free and paying players make their biggest jumps. A little preparation goes a long way.

Read the event first

Before an event starts, check:

  • What earns points – building, exploring, fighting, gathering.
  • Milestone rewards and how many points they need.
  • How long it lasts.

Save between events

  1. Save speed-ups for events that reward them.
  2. Hold resource items instead of opening them early.
  3. Queue long upgrades to finish during the event.

Hit milestones you can reach

It’s better to fully complete one or two events than to half-finish many. Pick the events that match your plans and go all the way.

Common mistakes
