What is the Pickaxe Duel?

Pickaxe Duel is a time-limited 1v1 event. Face another player and collect pickaxes by beating levels before the timer runs out. The player with the most pickaxes at the end wins the duel.

- You earn pickaxes by winning levels while the duel is active.
- Fewer tries = more pickaxes (first-try wins give the highest amount).
- Your opponent’s progress updates during the duel.
- Win the duel to move forward and unlock rewards.
- Each Pickaxe Duel is independent—your progress doesn’t carry over to the next event.

How do I participate?

- Reach level 51 to unlock Pickaxe Duel.
- Be connected to the internet (the event isn’t available in airplane mode).
- Tap the event icon and join a duel while the event is active.
- Some duels may have an entry cost shown on the join screen.
- If not enough time remains before the event ends, new duels can’t start.

How do I collect pickaxes?

- Win levels to collect pickaxes during your duel.
- First-try wins grant the most pickaxes; later tries give fewer.
- Failed levels don’t add pickaxes.
- Your total updates automatically during the duel.

How do rewards work?

- Each daily Pickaxe Duel has up to 3 stages.
- Win your duel to advance and unlock the next stage chest.
- Lose and you can retry the same stage (you don’t lose progress).
- Claim rewards directly from the event screen once unlocked.
- At the end of the event, any unclaimed rewards can still be claimed before the icon disappears.

Event timing

- Pickaxe Duel runs for a limited time and shows a countdown on the icon.
- Each duel has its own timer (visible in the duel screen).
- If the event timer ends while a duel is running, it finishes automatically.
- Results appear when you return to the main screen.

What happens if I lose a duel?

- You don’t advance to the next stage.
- You can replay the same stage until you win or the event ends.
- Rewards from previous stages remain available to claim anytime.
