Ikariam Events
Regular special events take place in Ikariam, offering time-limited bonuses, challenges and exclusive rewards. Events are a great way to progress faster and obtain rare items. Most events run for one to two weeks and offer interesting content and goals for both beginners and veterans.
Recurring Event Types
Happy Hour promotions give resource bonuses and are the ideal time for large building projects. Pirate events offer special missions with increased loot and exclusive rewards. Seasonal holiday events bring cosmetic items and special bonuses for holidays like Easter, Halloween and Christmas.
Alliance competitions promote cooperation and reward the most active alliances with unique awards and bonuses. Collection events require completing daily tasks to collect event points and unlock tiered rewards. The more active you are during an event, the better the rewards.
Event Tips
Plan your resource management around events. Save resources before an announced event and invest them under bonus conditions. Happy Hours are the perfect moment for building orders that normally seem too expensive.
Pirate events are especially worthwhile with a high Pirate Fortress level — upgrade the fortress before the event for maximum rewards. Save Ambrosia for events where premium promotions give special bonuses. Watch announcements in the official forum and lobby so you don't miss any event. Some events are announced at short notice — regular logins prevent you from missing lucrative promotions.
