A Master's Guide to Every Match Masters Event

Stop missing out on top-tier rewards. This in-depth guide explains every type of event, from solo grinds to team battles, and gives you the strategies to dominate them all.

Why Events Are the Heart of Match Masters

While climbing the ranks in studios is the main progression, events are where the real action happens. They are limited-time competitions that offer the most valuable prizes in the game. If you want to accelerate your progress, events are not optional—they are essential. Participating in them is the primary way to acquire the most powerful Boosters, rare sticker packs for your Sticker Albums, and huge amounts of coins and spins.

Events break the monotony of regular matchmaking by introducing unique goals and competitive leaderboards. Mastering them requires a different approach than standard play. While daily links on our homepage provide a steady stream of resources, event mastery provides the game-changing windfalls.

Types of Events in Match Masters

Events can be broadly categorized into Solo Events, Team Events, and Special Collection Events. Understanding the objective of each is the first step to victory.

1. Solo Leaderboard Tournaments

These are the most common type of event. It's you against a group of other players in a race to the top of a leaderboard.

• How they work: You earn event-specific tokens or points for completing actions in your regular matches. Common actions include winning a match, collecting a certain color of piece, or using your booster a specific number of times.
• Example Events: "Booster Challenge," "Trophy Rush."
• Strategy: This is a test of endurance and efficiency. Play in studios where you can win consistently. If the event requires collecting red pieces, focus on making red matches even if it's not the highest-scoring move. Use perks like "Extra Move" to maximize your chances of winning and earning points. Pacing is key; don't burn all your resources on day one.

2. Solo Milestone Events

These events are less about competing against others and more about personal progress. The goal is to reach a series of reward milestones.

• How they work: You collect event-specific items by playing matches. As you accumulate these items, you unlock a series of prizes on a progression bar.
• Example Events: "Kingdom Quest," "Treasure Hunt."
• Strategy: Consistency is more important than speed. The goal is to collect enough items before the event ends. Calculate how many items you need per day to reach the final prize and aim for that target. These events are great for all players because everyone who puts in the effort can earn great rewards, not just the top 1%.

3. Team-Based Events

These events pit your entire team against other teams. Success depends on group participation.

• How they work: The entire team works together to achieve a collective goal, such as earning a certain number of trophies or completing specific challenges. Every member's contribution counts towards the team's total score.
• Example Events: "Team Chest," "Team Battle."
• Strategy: Communication is vital. Use your team chat to coordinate. Encourage everyone to participate, as even small contributions add up. If your team isn't active, it might be time to find a new one! These events often have the best rewards because they promote community engagement. Make sure your team knows about the best ways to get in-game resources to stay active.

4. Special Collection & Mini-Game Events

These are unique events with their own rules and mechanics, often appearing around holidays or special promotions.

• How they work: These can vary wildly. One event might have you collecting special pieces on the board to fill a meter, while another might introduce a completely separate mini-game.
• Example Events: "Sticker Craze" (where sticker packs drop more frequently), "Golden Blitz" (for trading gold stickers), "Jackpot Joyride."
• Strategy: Read the event rules carefully! Each one is different. For "Sticker Craze," your goal is simply to play as many games as possible to maximize pack drops. For "Golden Blitz," your strategy is all about preparation and trading, as detailed in our sticker guide. If you encounter bugs during these events, consult our technical help page.

General Strategy for Event Dominance

1. Read the Rules: Always tap the 'i' (information) icon on the event banner. Understand exactly what you need to do to earn points.
2. Manage Your Resources: Don't spend all your coins and boosters on the first day of a 3-day event. See how the leaderboard develops and save your resources for a final push if needed.
3. Choose the Right Studio: Play in a studio you are comfortable in. Playing in a high-stakes studio you aren't ready for will just lead to losses and wasted entry fees.
4. Know When to Fold: Sometimes you'll be placed in an incredibly competitive leaderboard group. If the top players are pulling impossibly far ahead, it might be more strategic to aim for a lower-tier prize and save your boosters for the next event.

Events are the pulse of Match Masters. They provide challenge, variety, and the most lucrative rewards in the game. By understanding the different event types and applying these strategies, you'll be well-equipped to climb the leaderboards and claim the grand prizes.
