Critters Quest: Lucky Pick and the Immortals event closed
Lucky Pick and the Immortals event on Critters Quest closed on October 24, 2026, at 23:00 UTC. Players can still claim QUEST from Lucky Pick, and already-earned SOL staking rewards stay claimable.
Background
Critters Quest is Paradice Tech's browser 4X on Solana. You run a town and spend QUEST on in-game fees, at game.critters.quest (opens in new tab).
Lucky Pick was the mining game at the Lucky Pick mine (opens in new tab). You deployed SOL on a board each round and received QUEST from those rounds.
Stakers lock QUEST on the staking page. Master Edition Critters are held, not staked, and earn weighted by BPS, the weight those editions carry.
The October 19 close update announced that Lucky Pick would close with the Immortals event on October 24, 2026, at 23:00 UTC. That post said leftover emission vault QUEST would be burned, leftover jackpot SOL would go 80% to stakers and 20% to Master Edition holders, and that in-game spending would be routed 15/5 after the close.
