Awards

Pressing the "Awards" icon on your Home desktop brings up the Awards Screen. There are 29 awards available through normal game play. These awards have multiple levels each, with the goals increasing for each level.

Desktop Awards
There are a total of 12 awards that can create icons on your home desktop. 6 of these rewards are related to general game play, and have 10 levels of completion. The Sphere of Miracles, Pyramid of Wonder and others were awarded through Timed Challenges, and have fewer levels of completion (dependent on how often they have been used in challenges). The Sphere of Miracles is usually part of the Halloween Updates, the Pyramid of Wonder is usually part of the Christmas Updates and the others have been awarded in later Events.

A note about sparkling desktop awards when you are visiting your friends home desktop: Occasionally you will see your friends desktop awards sparkle when you are visiting them. The sparkling has nothing to do with your friends desktop awards or previous visitors to that friend. It is a reflection of your own Home desktop, a result of the fact that the desktop you see when visiting your friends is simply your desktop with a skin on top to show their picture, puzzle and award levels.

There have been two reasons your friends desktop awards may be sparkling: 1. You do not have that award. If your friend has an award you do not, such as the Sphere of Miracles or Pyramid of Wonder, that award will always appear sparkling when you visit. 2. Your own version of that desktop award is fully charged and ready to collect. If you visit a friend and an award you do have is sparkling. Leave the friends page and you will see that award is sparkling on your own Home desktop. If you discharge the award (collect your rewards) and visit the same friend again you will see the award is no longer sparkling on their desktop either. Note that the first option - that you do not have the award yourself - no longer causes the award to sparkle when visiting friends on some platforms.
