To celebrate Tower Unite's debut to Early Access, we're starting our Anniversary Event celebrations!

Kalleira, wanting to celebrate with everyone, caused mayhem by bringing in all the characters and minigames from all the holiday events. Due to her magic, this event features minigames from Halloween events and Winter Holiday events all at the same time!



You can also earn Anniversary Coins from playing any of the game worlds or minigames in Tower and unlock anniversary themed items, Halloween items, and Winter Holiday items!

This event will last for the entire month of April, so you'll be able to take your time getting coins!




Easter Events will continue until the 10th!


Also...
To kick celebrations off, this weekend we're also having a Double Ticket Arcade Weekend!

To celebrate St. Patrick's Day, don't forget to decorate with a bunch of St. Patrick Day themed items in the Celebrations store!

Keep your eye out for future events that multiply your rewards for playing the game! Have fun at the slots!
