Springfield Henge[]

During the whole event, you can send Springfielders to work at Cletus's Farm, Willie's Shack, Springfield Library and Moe's Tavern to earn offerings you exchange at the Springfield Henge in exchange for gifts from the gods.

In addition there will spawn random Pagans in your town. When tapped, these characters will disappear and drop antlers and rune stones.

The currency for the event is Antlers, Brooches, Runestones, Catnip, Carved Figurines, Books of Shadows, Chicken Fingers and Guilt Dust. Antlers is the prize currency for unlocking the Act 1 Prizes, Brooches for the Act 2 Prizes. While Runestones is the main crafting currency. Both Catnip and Carved Figurines can be obtained by sending springfielders to work, and can later be exchanged for Antlers and Runestones and other prizes. Books of Shadows and Chicken Fingers replace them for Act 2.

Gnome Box[]

Gnome In Your Home

The gnome will leave his box every 4 hours and run around your town. This mini game let you tap the gnome for a short duration of time, to gather loot that can be used in exchange for gifts or upgrade the actual Gnome Box.

The Gnome Box has 15 levels you can upgrade to get more loots for each mini game.

You can also capture a neighbor's gnome, but this is limited to one neighbor per day (resets at 8 AM GMT).
