Once you’ve finished your first-day list, the box at the top left of the screen becomes Today in the City: three small challenges for the day. Everyone in the city gets the same three, so you can compare notes.

The Today in the City box at the top left, with three challenges and their progress bars.
Click the box’s title to see all three challenges.

How It Works

  • Three challenges a day. Click the box’s title to see all three, with a progress bar for each.
  • 15 coins and 15 XP for each one you finish.
  • A 25 coin bonus (and 30 XP) for finishing all three: “Overachiever.”
  • New challenges arrive at midnight New York time. The box shows how long until the next ones.
  • No pressure. Unfinished challenges simply go away at midnight. Nothing is lost.

Your Week
