Hey there Snowflakes!
It’s beginning to look a lot like MORE Christmas. Raid to the North Pole Phase 3 is now live in our games. This means more Characters/Costumes, Buildings, Decorations, and just a lil bit of snow. 😉
RAID TO THE NORTH POLE ENDS THURSDAY, JANUARY 7TH @3PM PACIFIC

First up, what you will need in order to see the content in Phase 3. You will need to complete The Elf Empire Strikes Back Pt. 9 before you can begin the second phase of the event.
There WILL be another 24hr Timed item in Santa’s Headquarters at the end (there will always be).
Back with more in a bit….

For those of you that DO have Stewie, go to the North Pole after Escape from the North Pole Pt. 1 triggers to buy him. You will be taken to Al’s to get him for the Clam cost.
FAKE TREE FIELD DISTRICT
You will open this new area during Escape from the North Pole Pt. 1. Just tap on go to be taken to the area and open it. This will be the location of the New Battle Area for Phase 3. You will need the Nutcracker Truck Hangar from Santa’s HQ so you can use the Nutcracker Truck for the Battles here.
Nutcracker Truck will require Missile-Toe to Upgrade.
Missile-Toe: Fake Tree Lot Battles
Nutcracker Truck starts at Level 1
Level 2: Cost 2 Missile-Toe
Nutcracker Truck Drivers: Kevin Swanson, Nutcracker Stewie, Snake Plissken
Fake Tree Battles will cost you 2 Unfiltered Syrups.

Nutcracker Truck Level 1, 2 Drivers: Destroys 2 Buildings, Payout 2 Chestnut, 2 Snowflake Medal, 2 Missile-Toe
SANTA’S SUPPLY DEPOT
There are now 3 Materials you can use in the Depot to Exchange for Presents. I also had a 4th slot of Exchanges added. The new Material to trade in Phase 3 is Chestnuts.
Chestnuts: Nutcracker Prototype OR Fake Tree Field
SANTA’S HEADQUARTERS
6 more items have been added to the HQ for Phase 3. Five basic ones, and the 6th being a “HARD” 24hr Timed item as usual.
Nutcracker Truck Hangar: 115 Presents (I had to pull it out of Inventory to place it in the North Pole)
Holiday Med Tent: 250 Presents, Earns $60 & 120xp every 6hrs, Chance drop Purple Hearts
Snake Plissken in Pine Tree Bunker: 350 Presents (I had to pull it out of Inventory to place it in the North Pole), Build Time 10secs, Earns $240 & 480xp every 24hrs
Saw Mill: 500 Presents, Earns $20 & 40xp every 2hrs, Chance drop Escape Plans
Affordable Elf Housing: 532 Presents, Earns $140 & 280xp every 14hrs, Always drop Hand Guns
At this point, ANY further tap on Santa’s Headquarters will start the 24 HOUR TIMER on the Christmas Tree Fort, so make sure you are prepared to get all the Presents needed to get it. Or decide to keep them for the Next round and just let it time out and Pass on it. Remember, these are labeled “HARD” for a reason. Many of them are like a Premium Item and will require Clams spent to get them all. Decide if he is really worth it to you before proceeding.
Christmas Tree Fort: 1200 Presents, Chance drop Purple Hearts OR Escape Plans
***in progress***
Still working on some stats and will Update once I have them all in place, but this should at least get you all started for the Phase 3 information.
Where are you in the Event so far? What Characters do you have? What Santa’s HQ items did you unlock? How are your exchanges going in the Supply Depot? Suggestions and/or tips for fellow players? Let us know.

I haven’t checked in in a while so First off ……..
MERRY CHRISTMAS , Happy Hannacah , Happy Quanza, & a Merry Happy Lupygoolu ( that last ones my own new holiday, just seein if it’ll catch on) to you all!!
So.. I apologize if this has already been asked/answered but I’ve caught myself falling behind the pack abit because I’ve been aiming for the last 24 hour ,big present item on each page otherwise I’d be @ a better position in the game instead of trying to build up 1000 gift boxes @ the end each time,& I’m about to do it again depending on the answer you give me. I’m either about to purchase the “Afordable Elf Housing ” item & the Christmas Tree Fort” right after or skip the Tree fort & spent the Gift Boxes on the next pages items. So the question I have is….. (Finally) Is there any “reward” for putting in the work of obtaining all of the 24 hour big gift # items , or if I skip one (or all) will there be something I won’t be able to revive later?
As always thanx in advance & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

So far behind on this despite playing VERY regularly – I think maybe cos I wiped the first village out too many times too quickly, so now it is taking about a week to get 500 presents!! I cant seem to do anything to help – upgrading just leads to wiping out yet again and so it continues and repeats. I am still (with 3 chars attacking first village, Connor doing the 2nd, and Kevin doing the 3rd) trying like hell just to get enough presents to get the building for the guns for Snake!! (Btw, Snake is from Escape From New York, not Metal Gear Solid as someone thought somewhere ;))
Am I doing something wrong, is there a way to put it right, or am I screwed and unlikely to even get to village 4 let alone the ones after that?
Thanks

Stop leveling up the Villages (complete defeat). That makes it harder for your Vehicle to take them out.

It is the walking decoration Curtis Dog. Tap on your menu, go to the challenge tab, you will see the weekly prizes. The Cat is the GRAND PRIZE if you win all the weekly ones first.

My prize screen doesn’t show the week 2 prize of show it was completed nor did I received it even though I completed it this morning with around 18 hours to go.
Just got a new error now Kevin was supposed to have cleared 3 /4 in the fake tree farm but it shows 4 check boxes not 3 and an X. When I go clear one of them I get an error “attempting to add points to a locked character”. Hit ok and game restartsand every thing I did recently is reset. So both sending Kevin on task and attacking the fake tree farm are not possible for me any longer.

Can you explain this challenge thing a bit more? I have no idea what it is. Thanks.

Each Event has “steps” you must complete to get to a specific point in the game. For the Challenges, there are 4 weekly Challenges that are usually released on Mondays in the game. A Quest that has very specific and hard components that you must do to win that week’s Challenge. If you go through all 4 week’s Challenges and complete ALL FOUR of them, you win a final GRAND PRIZE. This Event’s Grand Prize for the Challenges is the Santa Kitty.
So… in order to get Santa Kitty, complete the Challenges if you can. If you miss even one, you will not get the Grand Prize.
