Questions and Answers
General
How does the event work?
Summer, Halloween, and Easter events all revolve around collecting tokens and trading them in for event pets or items. You can collect one token from the event banner every 20 min. Most trade-ins will require multiple tokens and have multiple different outcomes. There are also free event pets and items that are made available throughout the event.
Which trade-in gives me this pet? / What does this trade-in give me?
There are also a few differences between events:
- Summer events are more in-depth and involve a storyline which you can follow along with. New areas and NPCs will become available as the event continues. Summer events have two different types of tokens: banner tokens and hourly tokens. Hourly tokens becomes available later in the event at a specific event location and can be collected once an hour.
- Halloween events have 'banner pets' or 'banner items' available from the banner. This means that sometimes when clicking on the event banner you will receive something else (either a pet or non-token item) instead of a token. These are rarer to receive than tokens. How many different banner pets or items there are varies by year but typically there are 2-4 different outcomes.
- Easter events have 'Animal eggs' available from the banner. This means that sometimes when clicking on the event banner you will receive and Animal egg item instead of a token. These are rarer to receive than tokens. How many different animal eggs there are varies by year but typically there are 5-7 different outcomes. Animal eggs are not tokens and cannot be traded in, they are considered regular items.
You can check the event outcomes thread here to see all current trade-ins, what tokens they cost, and the different outcomes they can give you.
How long will the event last?
Most events run for about 10 days, but may go longer depending on the number of releases.

Banner
What does the banner look like?
Where do I get tokens?
You find tokens by clicking the banner.
Where do I find the banner?
The banner can be found at the bottom of site pages randomly once every 20 minutes. It can appear on nearly any page of the site, if it cannot be found on a certain page than there will be a note at the bottom letting you know the banner cannot be found there. There are no specific pages that are more or less likely to have the banner.
I clicked the banner but it said "That release could not be found" and is making me wait 20 minutes again!
This can happen if you accidentally double-clicked the banner. If the banner has reset and is making you wait 20 min than that means you did click on it and did receive something from the banner.
What is the banner limit?
'Banner limit' refers to the total number of banners you can click during the event. The banner limit changes over the course of the event. It typically starts around 200-250 and is raised after enough people reach the limit. It typically caps around 300-350. Trading for tokens does not impact your banner limit.
Tokens and Trade-ins
Where can I turn in my tokens?
Go to the Chicken Smoothie homepage and click on the big Halloween event banner :) Or, click here!
Will the token trade-ins change or be removed during the event?
New token trade-ins are added each day of the event, once the event is over the token trade-ins will stay up for several extra days and there will be a count-down on the event page letting you know how long you have. There is typically an update in the site news a few days before the event ends that will tell you the exact date token trade-ins will close.
Do all the free items stay there for the whole event?
In past events, the free items change every day for Summer events, but will sometimes be made available again. For Halloween and Easter they will be available until the event ends, but are sometimes moved to the bottom of the event page to make it easier to trade in tokens.
What if the event ends and I still have tokens to turn in?
After the event ends, the tokens page stays around for another few days so everyone has time to turn in those last tokens for prizes.
Do the current event tokens have any use outside of this event? Can they be used in future events?
Tokens are specific to the event they are released in and do not have any special use outside the event. They also cannot be used in any other events. If you have tokens left after trade-ins close they become like regular items, and can still be traded or used in dressups.
Which items are the tokens?
Are there going to be more things added tomorrow?
There is an 'Event Tokens' section in your items which displays all event tokens you own from all events. For Halloween and Easter events, you can also see the tokens on the event page, which will have a box which displays the tokens and how many of each you have. For Summer events, you can check the event outcomes thread for a list of tokens.
New token trade-ins and free pets or items are added every day of the main event period. There are typically a few extra days at the end of the event with no new releases during which you can still collect tokens for trade-ins.
