Scholarship Fundraiser in EBA 


Hi Breakers!

The season of high school graduation is almost upon us (well, in some parts of the world it is already happening!) As students graduate their minds fill with questions about their future: What should they do now? Can they get a job that they love? Should they continue their studies? These are important questions.

We know that many students really enjoy video games. In fact, they could be considered experts at playing video games and this expertise can be the start of a career in the video game industry. Obviously, students will need more than the ability to play video games, but the passion for playing games is very common in the video game industry.

We want to help students get the skills to work in the video game industry. To this end, we have been working with high schools to provide student work experience opportunities for the past year. We are now working with the video game industry in Victoria to set up scholarships to the University of Victoria (Computer Science) and Camosun College (Graphic Arts). The scholarships help inspired students start their journey towards a career in the video game industry.

To include our players in this, we're having a hat sale! We will donate our share of the proceeds to the scholarship funds!



The Grad Hat adds a small chance your last Star Break was free and 10% more Multipliers!
The Choosing Hat adds 5 more Buff Charges per Buff and 10% more Crates!

Each hat is only $5!

The sale will run until tomorrow, Saturday May 30th at Noon PDT!

Thank you for your support!

Elephant Mount 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.


Hi Whackers!

We're having a sale! It's an all-new unique Elephant mount! It comes with a starting bonus of +5% Odds to Double Mana wins!

But it's not just any type of mount. It's one that made a player very happy! Because Danni loves elephants so much, she'd asked daily for one as a mount option. When we told her it was finally available for purchase, she exuberantly expressed her thanks in the chat for over 10 minutes. And not just because of the mount, but because the Elephant pets were available for Bush Bucks from the Danni character -based on her in-game avatar- in the Commons.

The Bush Bucks items from Danni and the Elephant will be on sale until tomorrow, Friday, May 22 @ Noon PDT.
