Cake Party
A 3-day cake-collecting event on the board: 20 reward levels, 1,450 balls, 210 gems, and 7 Chest Rush plays.
Cake Party is a 3-day collect-the-cakes hunt. While it is on, one bin tier on the board carries a cake badge: every ball that lands there banks cakes, filling a bar on the CAKE PARTY tile. Each time the bar fills you clear a level and its reward is paid on the spot — 20 levels in all, ending with a grand-prize Chest Rush run.
How cakes drop
- On the board, the badged bin banks a flat number of cakes per landing that depends on the world (table below). It counts once per ball: if that ball is portaled back into the same bin it does not bank twice, and free split balls never bank cakes.
- On the ARCADE machine, the ×20 candy bin immediately left of the MEGA WIN bin also banks cakes — one cake a landing, whatever your launch stake.
- Cakes stop dropping once you have cleared all 20 levels ("ALL REWARDS EARNED!").
| World | Cake bin | Cakes per landing |
|---|---|---|
| World 1 — Meadow | ×2 | |
| World 2 — Aurora | ×3 | |
| World 3 — Flora | ×4 | |
| World 4 — Maelstrom | ×2 | |
| World 5 — Inferno | ×3 |
Reward ladder
The bar refills for every level; the amount needed climbs from 100 cakes to the 25,000-cake grand prize, 115,900 cakes in total. Rewards rotate balls → gems → Chest Rush plays.

Chest Rush plays
7 of the levels pay a Chest Rush play — a banked entry into the CHEST RUSH minigame. Each play starts with the number of star balls shown (3 / 3 / 5 / 5 / 7 / 7 / 10, 40 across the event), and the bonus wheel can add more on top. A banked play starts automatically when you close the Cake Party menu, and Chest Rush is always open while the party is running.
Scheduling
- A run lasts 3 days and always ends at a UTC daily reset, so a fresh run can be up to a day longer than 3 days — never shorter.
- While the party is on, a new run starts the moment the last one ends, and every player's ladder resets to level 1 with it.
- The CAKE PARTY tile shows ENDS IN, the next reward and your bar (current / needed).
Tips
- World 3 pays the most cakes per landing (×4) — on its Silver bin, not Bronze.
- Levels 1–3 need 700 cakes between them, so a single ball load usually clears all three.
- On the machine, the stake does not change cakes: the ×20 bin banks one cake a landing at ×1 and at ×200 alike.
