Secret Ceremony Event
The Secret Ceremony Update timed event contains 3 challenges. Players have a set number of days to complete the following tasks:

 * Complete 30 special quests to win the one-off Eternal Love Talisman which increases coins gained from investigating locations and puzzles by 200% for 24 hours.
 * After completing these quests, you will also be able to combine the Wedding Amulet Artifact which doessomething increases chances by 150% for 24 hours.
 * Achieve Academician level in Wedding Boutique and win 2 unique avatars, one female and one male.

Buttonhole Bouquet Special Items required to play Wedding Boutique
Until a future update removes the requirement, Buttonhole Bouquet special items are required in addition to energy points to play the Wedding Boutique scene. Buttonhole Bouquets are given as rewards for every successful investigation for every picture, and as rewards for banishing anomalies, but not for playing puzzles.

Buttonhole Bouquet special items cannot be gifted between friends, however, they are given as rewards for combining the Secret Ceremony Event collections;, they can be given as rewards by the Sphere of Miracles and Pyramid of Wonder desktop awards; they are included in the daily rewards from the Tree of Roses; they are sometimes contained in the Candy Box Everyday Gifts.

You can see your current inventory in a counter in the upper right of your home desktop. The table below shows how many you will need.

The Jigsaw Challenge - Bride's Box
Players can open the Bride's Box by collecting 500 Engagement Rings. Engagement Rings can only be won by successfully completing the Jigsaw puzzle. For each successful win of Jigsaw, you will win between 2-5 Engagement Rings as one of the rewards for completing the puzzle. It is a chance how many Engagement Rings you will get after any given play. You can think of it like rolling a 4-sided dice. On average you will get 3.5 Engagement Rings per play. Therefore it will require approximately 143 plays of Jigsaw to complete the challenge.

When you open the Research Window for Jigsaw by tapping on the Jigsaw puzzle icon on your Home Desktop you will see Engagement Rings listed as the first item in the 'Can be found' list for the puzzle. Engagement Rings are available to win for every play of the puzzle at every puzzle level. To complete the Eternal Love Talisman part of the Timed Challenge Event, you will need to acquire new Combining Elements: Bow, Peony, Wedding Envelope, and Wedding Ring Box . These can be won from Jigsaw and somewhereelse.

You must keep playing (and winning) Jigsaw until you have collected 500 Engagement Rings in order to complete the challenge. The Bride's Box is located in whereisit Home Desktop, between the Pipes and Memory Match Puzzles thisisntright. You can tap on the Bride's Box at any time to bring up its information window. While you are collecting Engagement Rings, your progress towards 500 will be shown in the event information window.

Once you have collected 500 Engagement Rings, the Bride's Box will automatically open and the rewards will go directly into your inventory. A notification window will appear to say the box is opened.

The opened Bride's Box will remain on your Home Desktop in the same position. Tapping on this will still bring up the information window, however, the Engagement Rings counter will be replaced with a congratulations message.

However daunting it may seem, all of the Timed Challenges are designed to be completeable within the given time limit, so it is possible to collect 500 Engagement Rings well within the time given. The task is designed to be challenging, but it is not impossible! For more information, see Hints and Tips for Event Challenges

The Unique Avatars - Getting Wedding Boutique to Academician Level
Players can win the unique Avatars by playing the new picture Wedding Boutique until they increase its scene progress level up to Academician Level during the Secret Ceremony Timed Challenge Event period.

As a guide, in order to reach Academician Level on Wedding Boutique and win the new Avatars, you will need to play the picture approximately 151 times, which will require approximately 3290 Buttonhole Bouquets! (or 2632 Buttonhole Bouquets if using the Amulet of Santa/Amulet of Rarities Artifact, or a similar Artifact or Talisman).

As soon as you return to your Home Desktop after playing Wedding Boutique for the 151st time, a notification screen will appear to say that the avatar challenge is complete and you have won followed by a visual display of both of the unique Avatars which are displayed separately in a star-filled background.

Both Avatars will automatically go into the Avatar section, but will not automatically replace your current Avatar. To use either of the new Avatars, you must enter the Friends tab. Under "My Profile" select your current Avatar to bring up the Avatar window. Your new Avatar will be at the beginning of the list. Tap on the Avatar to select it.

The Challenge Quests: Eternal Love Talisman
The Eternal Love Talisman can be won once a player completes the Secret Ceremony Event quests. A special decorative border frames the challenge quests on the left side of the home desktop. There are 30 special quests that must be completed in order to win the Eternal Love Talisman. They consist of 5 collection sequences of 6 quests each. The first 5 quests are to find each of the 5 items while the 6th quest is to combine the collection. You will also be automatically credited with satisfying a quest to find the fragments of the Wedding Boutique, and after unlocking the Wedding Boutique picture, you will receive a credit for that quest. This means that after completing the 5 collections, you will have received credit for completing 32 quests.

The quests must be completed within the time limit of the Timed Challenge in order to unlock the Talisman. Once the quests are completed, a notification screen will appear to say that the challenge quests are complete and you have won the Eternal Love Talisman. The Eternal Love Talisman appears on the desk top, tap the Talisman to send it to your Inventory.

Once the quests are completed players receive a completion notification.

Once activated, the Eternal Love Talisman will increase coins gained for investigation locations and puzzles by 200% for 24 hours.

The 5 collections players gather as they complete the 30 quests are:


 * 1) It all started here (combines to create "needname" and rewards 10 Buttonhole Bouquets, 1500 Coins, 40 Energy points, and 165 Keys when combined)
 * 2) Who is she? (combines to create "needname" and rewards 15 Buttonhole Bouquets, 60 Energy points, 1750 Coins, and 165 Keys when combined)
 * 3) The missus (combines to create "needname" and rewards 20 Buttonhole Bouquets, 2000 Coins, 100 Energy points, and 165 Keys, when combined)
 * 4) The mystery is solved (combines to create "needname" and rewards 25 Buttonhole Bouquets, 2250 Coins, 100 Energy points, and 165 Keys when combined)
 * 5) Happily ever after (combines to create "needname" and rewards 30 Buttonhole Bouquets, 2500 Coins, 100 Energy points, and 165 Keys when combined)

Until a future update makes these items permanently available elsewhere in the game, these are all 'Quest only' items. They cannot be gifted, or put on your wish list, or requested.

The "Keys" rewarded by these collections are used to unlock Candy Box Everyday Gifts from the Wedding Tray. The Energy rewards go directly to your available energy.

After the Challenge is complete
Once you complete all three Secret Ceremony Update Challenges, or after the challenge timer expires (whichever happens first), Buttonhole Bouquet special items are usually available to be won from only 2 pictures, which are usually Japanese House and Bungalow. Buttonhole Bouquets will still be required to play Wedding Boutique until a future update changes this requirement.

This restriction of the challenge quest special items after completion of all of the challenges is a feature of the updates and is designed to allow players to collect enough to complete the challenge within the short time frame but not amass a large quantity after finishing the challenge.

The following are this event's quest collections that are needed to combine for the Wedding Amulet.

Todo image of the two items

These two items which reward game items are present on the home desktop for the duration of the Timed Challenge Event. They are located in the center of the row of awards, on a gold platform. They will disappear after the event timer expires.

You can collect from the Tree of Roses every 24 hours. It will be sparkling, similar to a desktop award.

You can open Candy Boxes at any time. Each box requires 12 Keys, which are available from playing Wedding Boutique, from combining the Challenge collections, and are included in the daily gifts from Tree of Roses.

See Everyday Gifts and Gift Tree for a more in-depth explanation of how these work, and what kind of gifts they produce.

Wedding Amulet Artifact
Tthe five collections needed to win the Eternal Love Talisman can be combined to make the Wedding Amulet Artifact. This is separate from the Secret Ceremony Timed Challenge Event -- the Artifact can be combined later if the player is not able to complete the collections needed to win the Eternal Love Talisman.

Players must manually combine the Wedding Amulet artifact. To do this, select collections on the Notification window or open the Collections Window and select the Artifacts tab. Locate the Wedding Amulet and press the green Combine button. The artifact will go into your Inventory.

Changes Made by the Secret Ceremony Update

 * 2) New Combining Elements Bow, Peony, Wedding Envelope, and Wedding Ring Box were introduced. They are required to combine the five collections needed to win the Eternal Love Talisman. During the Secret Ceremony Timed Challenge Event, they are available from Jigsaw and somewhereelse.
