⭐ Apr. 24 — Update 5.6 Notes: Training Playground Mini-Game Available for All!

Get ready, Coaches! Here comes Update 5.6!
✅ A new way to train your Champ!
✅ A new way to play the game!
✅ Available on iOS & Android!
Read all about the “Training Playground” below, and keep reading for a sneak peek at what's next!

🏆 Requirement: You need at least 6,200 Trophies to access the Training Playground from the Events Menu.
📆 Duration: The Training Playground resets every 24 hours, just like the Daily Race.
🎯 Objective: Dash from left to right with your Champ to collect Stars and earn Power!
💪 Power Selection: In this Event, choose what type of Power rewards you want to earn: Run, Swim, Climb or Fly. You can choose this only once per day!

🎮 Mini-Game Controls: In the Training Playground, steer your Champ by dragging your finger left or right!

🎟 Playground Tickets: You need to use 1 Playground Ticket for every attempt. Tickets refill automatically up to a maximum of 2 (1 every 6 hours). You can get extra Playground Tickets by using your Gems or watching a daily ad.
🎁 Rewards: As you collect Stars, your reward gauge will fill up and grant you the Power reward of your choice.

💡 After completing your daily Reward gauge, it will offer bonus rewards until the daily reset. You can keep using any leftover Playground Tickets you have to get that extra training!

💞 We're super thankful for everyone who shared feedback about the Training Playground since its reveal in early April and during its experimental phase.
Now that it's available for all players, we're hoping to know more about what you like about it, and what we should improve.
👉 Come to our Discord server and share your opinion in the new #training-playground channel!

This update includes the following fixes:
✅ Fixed an issue preventing players from claiming their Tournament Shape reward.
✅ Fixed an issue where the Tournament's "Best Prize" Shape would not rotate weekly.

As announced in our Spring Dev Update, based on community feedback during the past year, we've identified several game features that need a fresh coat of paint!
🔥 Up next will be the reintroduction of Squad Training, a 2024 co-op Event that has been fully revamped to become a semi-regular event (perhaps once per month!). Stay tuned, more info soon!
🐰 Recently (and unexpectedly) a few rare players were surprised to find a new Shape called Bunnington in their Coach Missions. This was the result of a technical glitch (woopsie 😅) but rest assured Bunnington will be unlockable by everyone later this year when Squad Training comes back!
⚡ We'll also be giving lots of love to our Abilities system and the Hall of Fame in general to make it all more intuitive, more up to date with how the Collection has evolved since 2023, and more rewarding!
🏆 Lastly, the long awaited Trophy Road revamp is still very much in progress, with a lot of attention given to the Champion's League. Stay tuned to our news, we may share a dedicated Dev Diary about it later this Spring!
We hope you look forward to all of it!

👎 I am not a fan of this announcement.
