September Spark Week
What do ideas, fire, and Upland have in common? They all need a little Spark! And thanks to September Spark Week, we have the Spark you need to bring your big plans to life in Upland.
Starting Monday, September 12, at 9:00 AM PT, Spark Week officially begins. This Spark Week brings Status-Up Rewards, a Spark Sale in the Upland Store, and a Sparked Up Treasure Hunt. Maybe you want to get rolling on a structure for your new Metaventure. Maybe you have big plans for Outdoor Decor or building a NFLPA stadium. Whatever it is, Spark is the key to getting it done!
If you’re a newer player or want to touch up on structure and property development, learn how Spark works in the Upland guide.
Status-Up Spark Rewards
One of the best ways to earn extra (free!) Spark is to level up your Upland Status during Spark Week. These Spark rewards are greater than the standard Spark earned when leveling up, so if you’re close to a level up, now is the time to go for it!
Status-Up Spark Rewards run from Monday, September 12 at 9 AM PT to Monday, September 19 at 9 AM PT. The amount of Spark rewarded differs for each level. Here’s a breakdown:
- 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
Jumping up in status comes with plenty of perks. To catch up on the benefits for each level, check out the guide on Upland Status.
Sparked Up Treasure Hunt Tier
In this special Sparked-Up Treasure Hunt Tier, players scour cities in search of various Spark chests. The Sparked-Up Competitive Treasure Hunts run from Thursday, September 15 at 9 AM PT to Sunday, September 18 at 11:59 PM PT.
Treasures and Rewards
There are four types of chests: Grey, Blue, Metal, and Spark. Each chest has different rewards depending on a city’s Treasure Hunting Tier. Check out our graphic below for specific rewards.
And for the Spark Week veterans out there, please note that the prize payouts have been changed as we continue to monitor reward distribution.
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 now available.
Riot Mode and Decreased Spawn Rates
Changes from previous Spark Weeks are still in effect as we continue to monitor the distribution of rewards. This means that there will be no Riot Mode for the Sparked Up Tier and spawn rates for treasures will remain at the decreased rate as last month.
We will continue to monitor the impact of these changes and adjust them as necessary.
Spark Sale
Last but not least, the Upland Store has a limited-time Spark Sale during Spark Week. Hop in, register, and stock up! A quick tip: The two smallest quantities, 0.05 and 0.1 will be available on mobile AND web for players looking to grab a smaller amount of Spark.
Spark Sale Details:
- Registration Start: Wednesday, September 14 at 8 AM PT
- Registration End: Thursday September 15 at 8 AM PT
- Sale Start: Thursday, September 15 at 9 AM PT
Don’t wait until October for the next time to scoop up Spark. Grab your Spark and get ready to manufacture and stake all the amazing structures in Upland!
