Introduction
Welcome to the exciting world of Puzzles & Survival! As you dive into this immersive game, you'll encounter a variety of events that add depth and excitement to your gameplay. In this guide, we'll explore some of the recurring events that you'll come across in Puzzles & Survival. While these events may seem familiar, there are hidden gems waiting to be discovered. Let's unravel the mysteries together!
Holiday & Irregular Events
Most events in Puzzles & Survival follow a pattern, making them easily recognizable after playing the game for some time. However, there are some events that appear sporadically, adding a sense of unpredictability to the game. These events might reappear regularly every couple of weeks or only occur once as part of a special event. The schedules for these events remain unknown, keeping players on their toes.
Visit the Traveling Merchant (Chest Events)

One staple event in Puzzles & Survival is the Traveling Merchant. Whenever this event rolls around, don't miss the opportunity to pay him a visit. Each visit consumes 20 AP and grants you event currency, as well as a chance to unlock a valuable locked box. These boxes hold hero fragments for Lee, a highly sought-after hero in the game.
The challenge lies in obtaining the keys to open these locked boxes. While each visit increases your chances of acquiring a locked box, the keys are harder to come by. You can only obtain 10 free keys per day from visits. If you want to claim all 10 free keys, you may need to use AP refills. Trust us, it's worth it, considering how valuable Lee's hero fragments are.
Additionally, you can use the event's currency to purchase shovels for a side-event. Stockpiling these shovels between events is beneficial, as you'll need around 600 of them to guarantee the jackpot. Keep an eye out for variant events that require you to visit different NPCs for different types of locked boxes and keys. Make sure to open and claim all the locked boxes and spend the event currency to make the most of these events.
Attack of the Mutants/Raiders/Etc.
Sometimes, a new threat emerges in the wastelands of Puzzles & Survival. Commanders must band together to quell these threats. These events may seem like individual challenges, but they are essentially Zombie Lairs in disguise. Prepare yourself for epic battles!
It's important to note that the amount of event currency you receive from these threats depends on the stamina cost. Levels 1-5 have the same stamina cost, while levels 6-13 require double the amount. If you're primarily interested in event currency, the level doesn't matter much. However, higher-level threats offer additional secondary resources, such as Antiserum. Choose your battles wisely!
Distress Signal Events
Every once in a while, a Distress Signal event will captivate players. This event serves as the main opportunity to obtain hero fragments for Samuel. To maximize your rewards, you'll need to stockpile Distress Signals until you have enough to reach your desired reward tier in one go.
There are three primary ways to acquire more Distress Signals. Firstly, you can use diamonds to purchase 30 Distress Signals each time the event rolls around. Secondly, by completing daily quests, you can earn up to 3 free Distress Signals per day (an additional one can be obtained by purchasing a box with real money). Lastly, defeating zombie lairs during the event will earn you Scattered Clues. Opening these clues gives you a chance to obtain even more Distress Signals.
To make the most of this event, it's advisable to save up 450 Distress Signals before spending them. While it may take some time to accumulate this many signals, it's the most efficient strategy in the long run. Consider scheduling Hunt Mastery parties during this event to increase your chances of obtaining extra Scattered Clues and, subsequently, more Distress Signals.
Conclusion
A world of thrilling events awaits you in Puzzles & Survival. With their recurring nature, these events bring an exciting twist to the game. Remember to stay vigilant as schedules may vary, and prepare yourself for the unexpected. Embrace the challenges, unlock the mysteries, and emerge as a champion in this incredible survival journey. Happy gaming!
