Exchanging Magic for Prizes

Activities & Games
School of Arcade
Name That Dragon - Show off your DragonVale knowledge when you take this multiple choice challenge. Win Magic when you guess correctly!
Name That Egg - Show off your DragonVale knowledge when you take this multiple choice challenge. Win Magic when you guess correctly!
Wheel of Chance - Give the wheel a spin and be rewarded with the number of Magic or Gems the needle lands on.
Dragon Drop - A game of chance, Pachinko style! Tap to drop the coin and win Magic!
Buying More Plays
After you use your last available play at the School of Arcade, you will have the option to purchase an additional play for 5 Gems. Purchasing an additional play is entirely optional and you will still receive your 5 free plays every 12 hours as usual.
Golden Chests
Sometimes mini-games contain a Golden Chest that will provide special rewards. You'll always have a small chance to find a Golden Chest when playing games, but buying an additional play gives a 100% chance of a Golden Chest appearing on your next turn. Please note that this only guarantees that the chest will appear, and not that you will be able to win the chest.
Arcane Crystal
The Arcane Crystal rewards you for each day you play during the event. Earn free Magic and even dragons!
Check in each day for magical rewards and special surprises!
If you miss a day, don’t worry, you can spend a few gems to catch up. You cannot collect a day’s reward in advance.
You only have to login to DragonVale each day to be eligible for the reward. If you login, but forget to visit the Arcane Crystal, your reward will still be available to collect the next time you visit.
Fight or Flight
Similar to cooperative breeding, you can team up with friends’ dragons to compete in challenges and win Magic!
- Challenges will last six hours each
- Choose the best dragons for the challenge by matching your dragon's elements to the elements of the current challenge
Flag Bearers
Each day, elemental Flag Bearers will be walking around in your park! Find them and tap on them for extra Magic! There will be a total of 10 roaming around each day, so be on the lookout!
Eggy Hatchy
Eggy Hatchy is back this time around! There may be nothing new to learn, but your skills will be just as useful as always.
Once the Summerthings Magical II event begins, the Eggy Hatchy Portal will appear in the upper left corner of your park, close to the galaxy islands. You need to be at least level 11 to try it out, and if it hasn’t appeared in your park yet, make sure to update your application to 4.31.1
Towers
Eggy Hatchy consists of Towers, and every day two new Daily towers will appear for new and exciting challenges. And every week, a new Weekly tower will appear, so make sure to login often!
Note - Towers give an extra bit of Magic upon completing all of its respective stages, but with Weekly towers the amount of bonus Magic is significantly more.
Stages
Eggy Hatchy Stages are organized into groups called Towers. Each Daily Eggy Hatchy Tower consists of 3 Stages. Players progress through the Tower by accumulating points when playing the Stages. Each stage rewards the player with Magic for completing specific goals.
The way you play is by tapping on an egg to select it, and then tapping on another egg that is connected to the first one by a white line. Tap the second egg again to confirm the “breed”. This will make the eggs merge together. To bank an Egg (taking it out of the board and banking the points and elements it gives), tap on the egg, then tap on the Bank button. A Stage ends when all eggs have been banked or no valid moves remain. Use your knowledge of DragonVale breeding to complete the goals and win Magic!
Note: If you haven’t accumulated enough points to unlock the next Stage, you can get more by going back to previous Stages. If you are replaying an already completed Stage, this will cost you 1 Ticket, but you won’t be given the special reward for completing it again.
Tickets
This feature uses a special currency to play - Tickets. You can find your current balance of Tickets on the upper right corner of the UI. Tickets to play stages in Eggy Hatchy regenerate every half hour, up to a maximum of 5 tickets. A countdown to the next free ticket is shown under the ticket balance. Each stage costs 1 Ticket to enter. Additional Tickets can be purchased in the Market.
Note - You can watch a vision to get a free Sponsor Ticket once a day! Simply head over to the regular Market!
Goals
Each Stage has different goals, which are listed in the Goals area, to the left of the Game Board. Make sure to complete all of the goals of a stage in one single run to get the magic rewards! Rarity has a large effect on the score of an egg. Hunt for those Rare and Epic dragons to clear those hard score goals.
Note: Merging the same egg with itself will lead to an extra level gained on the resulting egg! A twin egg means its score is doubled! And twin status will also never be lost in a breed, so use that to your advantage!
The Power-ups
Eggy Hatchy has Food Power-ups in addition to the Twin Power-ups. In some stages, you might have power-ups hiding under your eggs. You can activate these by moving over eggs across them during a breed.
Passing an egg through these Power-ups will have the following effects:
- Twin Power-up: The resulting breed will become a twin dragon, doubling its score! The Twin status is kept for all further breeds that egg goes through.
- Food Power-up: The resulting breed will be a higher level than usual. In this case, Food Power-ups give 2 additional levels.
Note: Power-ups appear in random places and may sometimes be unreachable.
The Mysterious Dragon in the Sky
A mysterious dragon is flying in the sky around the event island - see if you can catch it! Once you do, a special reward will arrive in your Giftbox.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why hasn’t the event begun in my park yet?
Your park must be at least level 11 to participate in this event, which began on August 22nd, 2024.
If you’re above level 11 and the event hasn’t started for you, you may be playing on an older version of DragonVale. Please update to the most recent version through your device's app store. The correct version for the event is 4.31.1.
What is the daily limit of Magic?
There is no overall daily limit on Magic in this event, but the maximum amount you can earn by collecting from habitats is 500 per day on a regular day and 1000 on a double day.
Why am I not receiving Magic when I collect from my habitats?
If you are no longer earning any Magic when you collect from habitats, that would indicate that you have reached your habitat limit for the day.
Why didn't I win the Golden Chest when I bought an additional play at the School of Arcade?
Buying an additional play guarantees that a Golden Chest will appear as one of the possible prizes in that round, but does not guarantee that you will be able to win it. Please note that in Name that Dragon you must answer correctly before the timer expires in order to win the Golden Chest.
When does Summerthings Magical II end?
The Summerthings Magical II event runs through October 6th, and concludes on October 7th at 8:00 AM Mountain Time. It will not be possible to earn additional Magic after this time, but Mrs. Murphy’s School for Spellwork and Sorcery will remain open for two additional days so you can spend any leftover Magic you may have.
When does Mrs. Murphy’s School for Spellwork and Sorcery close?
Mrs. Murphy’s School will close on October 9th at 8:00 AM Mountain Time and it will not be possible to claim event prizes after this time.
What happens to my leftover Magic at the end of Summerthings Magical II?
After Mrs. Murphy’s School closes, we'll turn any leftover Magic into DragonCash at the rate of 1,000 DragonCash per 1 point of Magic.
Why did the theme and time of day in my park change?
With each event there is an accompanying theme, and depending on that, the time of day in your park will also be affected. The theme can be changed manually with the Twilight Tower building at any time, but the theme will revert back to normal day and night cycles when the event ends. You can easily tell what time of day is set by the active theme by checking if any lamps or other decorations that respond to time are active.
What is the skybox theme with the current event?
For the duration of Summerthings Magical II, the theme of the event is the regular Day theme. It will go back to day and night cycles when the event ends, but this can also be manually changed from the Twilight Tower at any time.
Why don’t I have any visitors in my park?
During Summerthings Magical II, the clickable NPCs in your park will be 10 Flag Bearers, each representing one of the 10 primary elements. Find them and tap on them for extra Magic! Once a Flag Bearer has been found and tapped on, they will not appear again until the next day, meaning you can find and tap on only 10 Flag Bearers per day.
What is this dragon flying around the event island?
Tapping on the dragon and “clearing” the obstacle will provide you a special gift!
I have cleared the obstacle and unlocked the prize, but I do not see it?
After you have unlocked and received the prize, it can be found in your gifts!
Thanks!
