Status-Up Spark Rewards
Spark Rewards for leveling up your Upland Status will be enabled starting Monday, July 18th, at 9:00 AM PT! This means that players who level up will be entitled to an amount of Spark dependent on their current and new levels. Instead of the standard spark bonus for leveling up, players will earn the amount listed below for each level up.
- Visitor to Uplander: 0.06 Spark
- Uplander to Pro: 0.12 Spark
- Pro to Director: 0.6 Spark
- Director to Executive: 1.2 Spark
- Executive to Chief Executive: 2.4 Spark
Note: Players who level up over multiple tiers will receive the accumulated reward for each previous tier. Status-Up Spark Rewards will be active starting Monday, July 18th, at 9:00 AM PT and will end on Monday, July 25th, at 9:00 AM PT.
Spark Sale
Starting Thursday, July 21st, at 8:00 AM PT, a 24-hour registration period will open for an opportunity to purchase Spark on Friday, July 22nd, at 9:00 AM PT. Players who register will be selected in batches to purchase varying tiers of Spark. This sale will only be available on web.
We have heard the feedback and are actively working to bring the Spark Sale to mobile devices! We plan to enable mobile Spark purchases in future Spark Sales and will communicate any updates as they becomes available.
Sparked Up Competitive Treasure Tier
On Thursday, July 21st, at 9:00 AM PT, the Sparked Up Treasure Tier will go live! This special treasure tier will remain active through the weekend and will conclude on Sunday, July 24th, at 11:59 PM PT. Compete in a competitive treasure hunt tier with a variety of Spark treasure chests to discover. Spark rewards will be higher than our everyday treasure hunts, so you won’t want to miss out on this opportunity to get bonus Spark rewards.
Riot Mode Update
As we continue to monitor the the distribution of Spark and the overall health of the economy, we have determined that Spark payouts via the Sparked Up Tier have been a bit too high. In order to mitigate this issue, we have decided to remove Riot Mode bonuses for Sparked Up Tier Treasures. This means that even if Riot Mode is active for a city, you will not receive the Riot Mode multiplier if you are able to find a Spark Treasure. Of course, we will monitor this change to ensure that distribution levels are still healthy, and will make additional adjustments if needed.
Treasures & Rewards
There will be a total of 4 different treasure chests available for a limited time only, so don’t miss out on your chance to discover them! Each chest has corresponding rewards assigned to them depending on the tier of the city that the player is hunting in.
Note: Due to the release of updated treasure tiers, the amount of Spark for each chest and tier has been updated. There are currently no Tier 3 Treasure Hunting cities in Upland.
Reward Distribution
Expect to see Spark deposited into your account a day or two after the competitive tier has concluded. Once the Sparked Up tier comes to an end, we will collect the results and distribute Spark rewards to all players who discovered one of the treasures above. Winners will receive an email notifying them that their rewards are available.
Update on Weekly Spark Treasures
We apologize for the delay in dropping the Spark earned from weekly Treasure Hunts. We were made aware of a potential issue and worked to rectify it before dropping any additional Spark. We have implemented a solution and Spark earned from Treasure hunts between July 5th and July 11th have now been dropped. Thank you for your patience.
Now, get ready to hunt and participate in Spark Week!
