Thick and Cold

Oh boy, snow has hit the homestead and it's thicker than it's ever been!

Even Jack doesn't remember things being this bad with folks lost in the forest, the Town Centre buried and all we can see of some houses are their rooftops... So what can we do? Well, we can re-use some of those skills we learnt during last year's avalanche, make up a a Rescue HQ and get our best snow rescue kit on!

So, snow shoes on, brandy barrels around necks and a nice thick scarf to protect us from the chill...

As usual, a popup starts things off...


This will launch a set of 12 missions with a wrapper, a traditional map series (all details HERE). As is expected with this kind of thread there is no buildable to be had, just a single placeable decoration, the Rescue HQ...


This then contains access to the eponymous map itself, a wintery artistic masterpiece..


From there we can access the 9 basic missions or even repeat them if we want to, however repeats are OPTIONAL and not required for any mission steps.

As for new items to be seen, we will of course get a new free gift crop, the Fire Spinner...


...and three healable animals which will each have 3 variations, the Town Centre, Roof Tips and Stranded Folks...

We'll also see three new mission reward animals tended in missions.


Finally, from rewards we have a quite unique (and slightly cumbersome) costume...


...and a quite brilliant new "rideable", a giant snowball that obviously catches us up in it's rolling way down the hill!
Last, but not least, we'll also see the Snowed In collection which will drop a mission item, and a Fire Spinner... (WARNING: This is the Jack-in-his-Underwear Klaxon, this is not a drill...)


So, there's people out there going blue, time to work!
