Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Raise the Jolly Roger as the Time Travel Toaster has flashed us into the Pirate Era! We’ve got roaming Rats (ugh..), Animatronic Pirates, Ghostly Ships and lots of Booty (apparently TSTO is trying to keep up with the Kardashians)!
You can tell EA is trying to do a few things different with this event…for starters the overall event is a week shorter and there are more prize elements, but it’s really the Excavation Site that people are digging…see what I did there?
The Excavation Game has Tappers everywhere talking…about the best strategy, how many moves they can find the Gem in and apparently it’s become almost as addicting as this site !;)
So let’s breakdown the details of the Excavation Site changes that rolled in with the Pirate Era….
As a reminder we broke down, in great detail, the how tos of the Excavation Site during the Prehistoric Era here. Not much has changed for the Pirate Era, except instead of Papyri or Fossils now it pays out Eye Patches and the prizes have changed.
Now let’s breakdown the Pirate Era Excavation Site Prizes…
These prizes are just for the Pirate Era and they will be gone when the event ends next Wednesday…
There are 5 total prizes….
