Care for Tomorrow Event 2026: Mechanics

Care for Tomorrow returns with a familiar board, but a slightly different rhythm. Whether you are joining the event for the first time or coming back from last year, this guide will help you understand the new flow, plan your merges, and make the most of every reward!

Keys are no longer collected or spent, the Converter is gone, and Tasks now play a much bigger role in your progress. You’ll still spawn, unlock, and merge pieces — but this time, clever planning around Tasks, rainbow pieces, and your Streak Chest will be the key to greatest rewards!

The Care for Tomorrow Event will run on Beta from July 2 to July 23!

What's new this year?

No more Keys or Converter. Keys are no longer collected, stored, or sent away. Matching key halves now triggers an instant transformation into a powerful rainbow piece right on the board.
Board Streak Chests. Every board now holds a special Chest that climbs through five tiers as you complete boards back-to-back: Bronze → Silver → Gold → Platinum → Diamond. The longer your streak, the better the rewards. Miss a board within the 24-hour timer (or reset before finishing) and the Chest drops a tier — so keep that streak alive!
Blimp Notifications. Completed a Task and not sure? A blimp now pops up right next to it and the claim button lights up (and pulses if you wait), so you'll never miss a reward again. This came directly from your feedback, so thank you!
Store your Ascended Buildings. You can now use a Store Kit on Ascended buildings to move them into your inventory. Heads up: storing an Ascended building expires it and returns it to its non-ascended state, so note that before you store.
More Task Variety. New Task types keep things fresh: transform rainbow pieces, merge key halves, gain Grand Prize progress, use Boosters, and more.

Start with the Board!

Your event board is filled with colourful pieces: some pieces are movable, while others are locked behind glass. To free a locked piece, you need to match it with a movable piece of the same colour and level.

Spawn Pieces
Use the Spawner to create a new movable piece on your board and note that spawning costs Workers. Spawned pieces appear in random colours and can be used to unlock locked pieces or merge with other movable pieces.

Unlock Locked Pieces
Match a movable piece with a locked piece of the same colour and level to break the glass. When you unlock a piece, you will receive: Grand Prize progress, an instant reward, and a progress toward completing the board.

Every unlocked piece brings you closer to clearing the board and moving on to the next one.

Merge to Level Up
You can also merge two movable pieces of the same colour and level. This creates a higher-level piece and can help you reach the matches you need as the board becomes more crowded.

That said, the basic rules are simple, but the strategy comes from choosing when to unlock, when to merge, and when to save space for later moves!

Key Parts and Colourless Pieces

Some pieces on the board contain key halves: either a top half or a bottom half. And this year, key halves work differently.

Keys are no longer collected, stored, or spent. There is no Converter button, and you do not send completed Keys away to open reward Chests. Instead, key halves now trigger a transformation into a rainbow piece.

The rainbow piece usually keeps the level of the merged piece, although there is a small chance that it may appear at a lower level. Rainbow pieces are especially useful because they can merge with any colour and this makes them powerful tools for unlocking difficult pieces, rescuing tight boards, and creating the matches you need for Tasks.

Use Boosters for a Strategic Edge!

Boosters can help you keep the board moving when space is tight or when you need a specific setup.

	Cell Multiplier: spawns additional pieces directly onto your board. Useful when you need more pieces to work with, but make sure you have enough space first!
	Cell Divider: splits a higher-level piece into two pieces of the level below. If the original piece had a key half, both new pieces keep that key half. Useful when you need more merging options or want to create a specific level for a Task!
	Rainbow Essence: transforms all pieces of one colour into rainbow pieces. Since rainbow pieces can merge with any colour, this Booster can help you break out of difficult board states and set up important merges!

Use Boosters wisely: they can save Workers, create new options, and help you complete Tasks more efficiently!

Complete Tasks to Progress!

Tasks are now one of the main ways to earn rewards and move through the event. You will always have three active Tasks: Easy, Medium, and Hard.

Completing Tasks grants rewards such as:

Eco Tokens (Event Item Store currency)
World Challenge progress
Grand Prize progress

There is no daily limit to how many Tasks you can complete. When you complete a Task and claim its reward, a new Task from the same difficulty category will appear. Tasks remain active across boards, so advancing to a new board or resetting your current board does not replace them.

Completed Tasks must be claimed. If you do not claim them manually, unclaimed Task rewards will be collected automatically at daily reset, but it is better to claim them as you go so you can keep making progress.

Build Your Board Streak Chest!

What is NEW for Care for Tomorrow 2026 is the Board Streak Chest system: each board contains a special Chest piece from the beginning. This Chest has a fixed position on the board and cannot be moved, merged, unlocked, or converted.

In order to unlock the Streak Chest reward, you need to complete the board. When you complete a board, the Streak Chest reward is granted automatically and your Streak Chest upgrades to the next tier, offering you higher chances of better rewards than the last: Bronze → Silver → Gold → Platinum → Diamond.

After your first board completion, your Streak Chest becomes active and a 24-hour timer appears. Complete another board before the timer runs out to upgrade the Chest again and reset the timer.

Keep Your Streak!

Your Streak Chest can drop one tier if:

you reset the board before completing it
the 24-hour timer runs out before you complete another board

When this happens, the timer resets on the new lower-tier Chest (Bronze Chest does not display a timer and cannot drop below Bronze).

Before resetting a board, check your current Streak Chest tier. Resetting may be useful, but it can also lower your Chest by one tier if your streak is active.

In some cases, you may be given an option to preserve or restore your Streak Chest tier for an additional cost. Check the reset or restore window carefully so you know exactly what will happen before confirming.

Watch for Blimp Notifications

To make completed Tasks easier to spot, Care for Tomorrow 2026 introduces a new blimp notification — thanks to your feedback!

When you complete a Task, a blimp will appear next to it and the claim button will become active. If you do not claim the reward immediately, the blimp will disappear after a short time and the claim button will begin to pulsate. This also applies to World Challenge Tasks, helping you spot completed objectives more easily.

Daily Double Task Rewards

Each day, the first Easy, Medium, and Hard Task you complete will grant bonus rewards. These daily double rewards increase:

Eco Tokens (Item Store currency)
Grand Prize progress

Completing one Task of each difficulty early in the day is a strong way to build momentum and make the most of your daily bonuses.

Note: World Challenge progress is not doubled.

Task Rerolls

Not every Task will fit your current board and if you want to change an objective, you can reroll certain Tasks (Medium and Hard Tasks). Each gets one free reroll per day. Additional rerolls cost Workers, and the cost increases with each use up to a cap, but reroll costs also resets daily.

Rerolling a Task removes any progress you have already made on that Task. If you have started making progress, a confirmation prompt will appear before the reroll happens. Use rerolls when a Task does not fit your current strategy or would take too much effort compared to your other options.

New Task Variety

Tasks are more varied this year and may ask you to complete different types of objectives, such as: transforming rainbow pieces, transforming specific levels of rainbow pieces, merging key halves, gaining Grand Prize progress, finishing Tasks, using Boosters, etc.

Check your active Tasks before making moves: a planned merge or Booster use can often help you complete a Task at the same time.

Resetting the Board

If your current board is not giving you the pieces you need, you can reset it and the first reset each day is free. Additional resets cost Workers, and the cost increases with each reset up to a cap (reset costs resets daily).

A confirmation window will appear before the reset happens, especially if resetting would affect your Streak Chest (resetting clears your current board and gives you a fresh layout).

So use resets when a board has become too crowded, when your available pieces no longer help your Tasks, or when a fresh board would give you a better route forward!

The World Challenge

The World Challenge returns during Care for Tomorrow, giving everyone on your world a shared goal to work toward, as usual. As players complete Tasks and contribute to shared progress, your world moves closer to unlocking milestone rewards for all participants.

Obviously, you will also earn Hydro Tokens - World Challenge currency, which can be spent in the Hydro Store. Keep an eye on the World Challenge window to track your world’s progress and see how close you are to the next milestone.

Spend What You Earn In The Item Store!

There are two Item Stores available during Care for Tomorrow 2026:

Care for Tomorrow Item Store - Eco Store: uses Eco Tokens earned primarily from Tasks. It includes features such as:

Daily & manual refreshes
Randomised discounts
Daily purchase limits
A currency cap

World Challenge Item Store - Hydro Store: uses Hydro Tokens connected to World Challenge progress. It has its own selection of rewards and limits, so make sure to check it alongside the Eco Store!

Item Stores give you more control over which rewards you target during the event, so spend your currency carefully and check back regularly.

Quick Tips

Check your Tasks before making moves. Tasks are one of your main sources of progress and rewards.
Claim completed Tasks as you go. The blimp notification and pulsating button will help you spot them.
Use your daily double Task rewards early. Completing one Easy, one Medium, and one Hard Task each day gives a strong boost.
Watch for key halves. They no longer create Keys to collect, but they can trigger valuable rainbow piece transformations.
Use rainbow pieces wisely. They can merge with any colour and are excellent for solving difficult boards.
Plan your Boosters. Cell Multiplier gives you more pieces, Cell Divider creates flexibility, and Rainbow Essence can turn a difficult board in your favour.
Keep an eye on your Streak Chest timer. Completing boards regularly will help you climb to better Chest tiers.
Think carefully before resetting. A reset can help, but it may also lower your Streak Chest tier.
Visit both Item Stores. Your Task progress and World Challenge contributions can help you earn Tokens for valuable rewards.

With smoother board progression, instant key transformations, expanded Tasks, returning Boosters, Item Stores, and the new Streak Chest system, Care for Tomorrow 2026 is all about adapting quickly and making every merge count.
