The Great Challenge

and Water Battle


The Great Challenge is back, and this time it will be followed by the Water Battle.

The Great Challenge part will end on 2025-07-29 12:00 and then the Water Battle will start.

The Water Battle part will end on 2025-08-04 14:00.

Lactarius will be available until 2025-08-05 14:00.
As a reminder, the community goal was removed and replaced with two fixed-time UFO sessions per day during the Battle.

There are no divine fragments in the daily objectives during this event. The number of fragments in Tyche's Crown was adjusted accordingly.

Buy the Premium Key early for maximum benefit, but remember, it's never too late!

The gifts that have been unlocked but not claimed during the Great Challenge are automatically given when the Battle starts.


Jackpots
Free Jackpot: Themis Scale
Complete the event to get the Themis Scale. It allows you to exchange a Black Market item that you no longer use for one or more items with a similar or lower value.

Premium Jackpot: Māori

starry aura

With the Māori starry aura, you can turn your horse into a Star and win fragments of the divine horses from the Māori series.


New Divine: Lactarius
You can find fragments of the new divine Lactarius in the event, and in the Tyche’s Crown. If you reach the top of the leaderboard in the Battle, you will win the horse.


Part 2: The Water Battle
Click to display
Catch UFOs
During the festivities, your task is to catch UFOs in 2 daily sessions. Each session will give you the chance to catch up to 6 UFOs.

Make Choices
After catching a UFO, decide to keep the gift (and lose points), send it to another player (and gain points), or spend Equus for a chance at a different UFO. The value of the UFO's content affects the points you win or lose. You can wait to decide, but you can't catch new UFOs until you make a choice.

Bonus Items
Win bonus points by using items earned from horse competitions, friends' help, or your participation in the Great Challenge.

Climb the Ranks
Accumulate points to rise in the rankings, unlocking gifts associated with your rank and those below.

    The scale is easily one of the best prizes out there. If you use it to trade in a nyx for three golden fleece or titan's, you suddenly have three items with a lot of trading value, especially if you hold onto them until a high in demand weekend offer is on. default smiley (y)

    I got the key because I LOVE the Solar System Divines and I don’t have any yet. Plus I like the other prizes.

    Fully trained horses are great money makers for me so I’m happy to have more.

    I did the math and when you can make a maximum of 840 passes a month/5040 passes every six months/10,080 passes a year from the daily objectives, the key isn’t really that expensive.

    I think the key for this event is great for the more intermediate players like me who have significant yet limited resources default smiley :)

    The Starry Aura is for the Maori series, not the Solar System one, just to be clear. The original one was for the Solar Systems, but every one since has been for a different series.

    Oh, thank you! But still, those are all divines I don’t have any fragments for (that I know of) so still worth it for me!

    So Howrse changes all the other events so that you do not get daily login prizes/prizes from doing rides etc unless you play the tutorial, but they remain a stickling pain when this event is concerned? I haven't bothered with the tutorial, yet I'm plagued with your annoying, nuisance popups... default smiley (o)

    Usually I just boycott the game when this event comes around. I honestly forgot to check what event started yesterday, so I got an irritating surprise from your unwanted popups this morning default smiley (li)

    That said... I'm now stuck in a state of decision paralysis because I do remember seeing a scale and a TC on the prizelist - that's 4 free TCs or 3 free GFs and a TC. It takes long to get the equivalent 800p. Well I think the TC was free - it could have been on the key prizelist too. But I think those prizes were particularly lackluster and not worth the passes when I checked. But still, a free scale is 600p worth of tries for sapphire regardless of what item he comes in... that's a very valuable prize. I'll probably end up caving soon which would mean dealing with your game-ruining popups anyway.

    Still waiting very impatiently for you to add that "OFF" toggle to get rid of these unwanted pests that ruin my game experience, especially when this irritation of an event comes around default smiley (li)default smiley :k I NEVER look forward to this event and half the reason for that is your unwelcomed popups that plague me to the point where I don't even work my pass droppers anymore just to avoid them default smiley :k They're nothing more than uninvited pests and the only way to get rid of them is to boycott the game. Please add that "OFF" toggle already default smiley (li)default smiley (li)

    I suppose the only nice thing I can say here is thank you for not bringing your horrid zonkeys or their fragments back with this event because I'd DEFINITELY be boycotting the game right now if I saw them on the prizelist.

    If you're just doing pass-gathering tasks with your Divines like grooming Metals (no comps or rides) you won't see the pop-ups, as those don't count for GC tasks. And since only specific rides count, you should be free to work any Divine with non-standard rides like a Nordic or Extraterrestrial.

    The ones you'd need to avoid would be things like Solar System divines since comps *do* count and will trigger the pop-ups if you do enough of them.
