Revision as of 13:24, 18 December 2017

Snow Problem is the 2017 Christmas quest, part of the Holiday Update 2017 and lasting 13 days - 12th December until the 24th December. Like the Ghost Flustered quest, it has sets of various goals that win the player prizes, the overall prize being a Snow Chalet.

At the end of each set of goals, you need to wait for a certain amount of hours. For example, if you have completed day 2's goals, you need to wait 'X' amount of hours for day 3. The time when the goals start vary in each time zone.
