The Pinatas

Edit - This is an old post relating to the Piñatas in 2012.

Find out about the 2017 Piñatas here

It's summer and so it's time to welcome the Piñatas to Howrse.

Until June 20th you can try to smash open Piñatas and win gifts by clicking on them. There are 20 Piñatas to crack and if you manage to open them all you win the latest new Solar System Divine - Jupiter.

Your Piñata will open once you have reached the required number of points. You can earn points in the following ways:

  • by clicking on your Piñata (at first you can do this every 24 hours but it becomes more often as you complete objectives)
  • by asking your friends to click on your Piñata (at first up to 4 friends can help you per day, again this increases as you complete objectives)
  • by completing objectives
Each Piñata offers between 1 and 3 additional objectives. If you complete these objectives they allow you to collect extra clicks. For example, on Piñata number 1 the objective is to groom a horse. If you do this you are allowed to click on your Piñata every 12 hours instead of every 24.

These objectives are cumulative. So if you earn extra clicks from friends on one Piñata, it will carry over to the next one to make it easier to open. Be warned though, the number of clicks it takes to open each one increases as you go along. So Piñata number 1 only requires 2 clicks to open but Piñata number 5 takes 16 and so on.

Each Piñata offers gifts once opened ranging from apples and diamonds to Black Market items.

We think this is quite a fun contest. Let us know how you're getting on!

Mars - the new Solar System Divine

Mars - the new Divine
As we predicted, Saturn is not the only Divine in the Solar System set of horses - please welcome Mars.

He could be won in the Journey Cards promotion earlier this month.

Mars is 3000 years old and has 1200 skills. You can go on rides on the supernova to increase his skills further and every time you gain 20 skill points he will give you a diamond.

Were you lucky enough to win him? Let us know.
