Limited-Time Events, Missions and Mini Games

Events, missions, mini games and the race up the leaderboard: what each one rewards, when they end, and what to do if a reward goes missing.

Alongside the main level path, Match Heist runs limited-time events, missions, mini games and leaderboard races. All of them are optional, and all of them pay out power-ups and other rewards for playing levels you were going to play anyway. The one rule to remember: claim event rewards while the event is still live.

What runs alongside the levels

  • Missions are running objectives that complete as you play normally.
  • Limited-time events are themed runs that appear for a set window and disappear when it closes.
  • Mini games are short side puzzles with their own rewards.
  • Leaderboards are the race to the top against other players in your group.

Getting the most from them

  1. Check what is live when you open the game

    Events come and go on their own schedule. A quick look at the main screen tells you what is running and how long it has left.

  2. Let missions ride along

    Missions complete from ordinary play, so there is no need to change how you play a level to chase one.

  3. Play events online

    Events and leaderboards need a connection to record scores and rewards. Levels played offline still count for your main progress, but not for a leaderboard.

  4. Claim as you go

    Collect each reward when it is offered rather than saving them up for the end of an event.

ImportantEvent rewards are granted while the event is live. Once an event ends, its claim window cannot be reopened, so collect rewards as you earn them.

If a reward did not arrive

Close the game fully and reopen it with a connection first, because some rewards deliver on the next sync. If an event finished while you were mid-run and the reward still has not appeared, contact support with the event name, the approximate date and your level number, and we will look into it.

Power-ups won from events work like any others. If you are deciding when to spend one, our level tactics cover the moments where they change the result.

Frequently asked questions

Why can I not see an event that a friend has?

Events roll out in waves and some are targeted to particular level ranges. Keeping the app updated and playing to the current level range is the best way to see everything that is running.

Do events require an internet connection?

Yes. Events and leaderboards need a connection to sync scores and rewards.

Are events required to progress?

No. Events, missions and mini games are optional extras. The main level path never waits on one.
