Playrix Support Confirms Electric Showdown and Hit the Target Are Randomly Assigned

Electric Showdown is a competitive Gardenscapes event where players use unlimited lives for one hour to earn points and unlock valuable rewards based on their performance.

Both Electric Showdown and Hit the Target usually appear together every Monday alongside the weekly Team Chest. For many players, they have become a regular part of the weekly event schedule, offering an additional opportunity to earn boosters, coins, and other useful rewards while progressing through new levels.

Hit the Target is a target-shooting event that rewards players for completing levels and hitting targets to collect boosters, coins, and other prizes.

Playrix Support Responds to Feedback About Equivalent Rewards for Event Tests

Why This Matters

The most important part of this conversation is not that some players are excluded from Electric Showdown or Hit the Target. Playrix has confirmed that these events are currently limited to randomly selected test groups.

The real concern is what happens when those players receive no equivalent alternative rewards.

Over three weeks, the difference can become substantial. Players without these events may miss dozens of boosters, multiple Rainbow Blasts, bombs, dynamite, collection cards, coins, and many other valuable rewards that help them continue progressing.

For players competing at the highest levels, these are not small bonuses. They represent resources that can directly affect long-term progress and competitive performance.

Playrix confirmed that feedback requesting equivalent alternative rewards has been forwarded to the development team. Whether changes will follow remains to be seen, but the company has acknowledged that the concern has been received.
