The game introduced a seasonal event named "Egypt Adventure" in November 2024, with an ancient Egyptian theme. As with other seasonal events, players gathered points by completing various tasks, which were then converted into rewards beneficial for expanding their town. While the tasks were not directly linked to ancient Egypt, the event’s graphics, and some rewards, including skins, were thematically consistent. The event specifically allowed players to dress their sheep in an ancient Egyptian outfit and acquire unique attire for their boats and port. These cosmetic designs integrated classic pop-cultural aspects of ancient Egypt: a nemes-style headpiece and a scarab-adorned collar for the sheep; a barge-shaped boat with a kiosk resembling a shrine; and a pyramid-shaped port whose entrance was decorated with a winged scarab. Additionally, the colors were crucial in evoking ancient Egypt, with a significant use of yellow and blue (likely to recall gold and Egyptian blue, and, especially, the colors of Tutankhamun’s funerary mask) helping viewers immediately associate the quest items with ancient Egypt.
