Even working on 6 tiles per day x 18 ( days) with the number of tiles that need to be overturned you will have to spend something.

So excited for the debut of the Lion this weekend on Howrse, especially becuse its a chimera horse

Are they adding a lion chimeria because the new Lion King movie came out today?

I know its really far away but I have to start saving now if I am to spend passes for this years Christmas promotional offers and to buy the pass special offers. Is there any idea as to what Christmas packs will be offered (if any) and what the promotion will be like?

of all the divines I really really really want Rudolph does anyone know if its going to be part of this Christmas promotion?

Let me clarify....I meant save real money not passes for Christmas packs and events...most people are on budgets and have to plan ahead. I was asking for not only myself but everyone who plans ahead for Christmas. Christmas events usually on here have a lot to offer and I was going to participate to the fullest

Great Challenge - Derby


Complete objectives to win horseshoes and collect prizes!


Great Challenge Phase

Players will have 3 daily objectives. By completing them, players will win horseshoes that can give the players:

game items, offered immediately after the threshold is met
the commercial offer to get the divine horse more easily during the festivities
As usual, players have 3 days to realize an objective before it disappears.


Helping other Players
If players complete the current day's 3 objectives, they can help other players to complete their objectives. If it is the first time of the day that a player helps another player, they unlock a bonus item that they will receive at the beginning of the festivities.

To help players complete their objectives, they can :
skip the objective by giving a Black Market item to Ow
ask for help from other players by giving Equus, for the 3rd objective of the day


VIP players can try to win the Jackpot Friggja in the Titan’s Challenge before anyone else. They benefit from the commercial offers on divine fragments immediately when they unlock them.


Derby Phase

During this phase, players can play horse races. Automatic races have returned!
They get a free race at the beginning of a day (according to the community goal of the Great Challenge part).

They can also buy them with Equus but the price increases each time.

How it works

When the player starts a race, they can choose which horse they will play.
During the race, players have to launch a ball towards the holes.
[TIP] Players can decide the speed of the ball by adjusting how long the mouse button is held before releasing.
After the launch of the ball, the choosen horse moves according to the value of the hole.

Then, other horses also move. The player has to launch balls until their horse arrives at the finish line. At the end of a race, players receive flags. The better the position of the player’s horse in the race, the higher the number of flags she/he will get.

Players can use Bonus Items to help them win a race.

Bonus Items
Only 1 Bonus item per launch can be used

How to get Bonus items :
when helping other players during the Great Challenge part
when asking some to my friends (by giving Equus, and in a limited quantity). (And players can offer some to their friends who have asked for them, with a limit of 1 per friend per day)
when winning competitions with horses
from special UFOs
when buying BM items with passes (except for Black Pearl and Aging points items)


Jackpot


Friggja, a new Nordic special horse
Friggja is a Pegasus whose gift is a Hestia's Gift!

She is a pegasus that belongs to the Nordic divines.Her gift is Hestia's Gift

You have not been here long enough but for about 12 days you do objectives and win prizes. If you help others you get a bonus which will help you in the second part.

The second part is like a horse race with 4 horses ( like you see in game machines) and there is a ball in a slingshot. You put your cursor on the ball and holding down on the cursor you "pull back" and the elastic stretches. When you release the ball it falls into slots with points in them. These points determines how far the horse you selected goes ( of the four starters).

That is basically the promo.

Oh my gosh, I can't wait for the Great Challenge, although it will feel like doing daily objectives all over again, but hey we get to earn some nice gifts. I can't wait for that promo.
I am not looking forward to the memory game because memory isn't my greatest subject.

The best way to do the memory contest is to have a grid where you can write everything down so that you don't forget what you'd turned over the previous day
