## **Event Dates**

**Start:** December 2, 2024\
**End:** December 5, 2024\
**Results Announcement:** Daily, until the end of the event

## **Event Mechanics**

From December 2 to December 5, players could earn a special currency — Balloons — by participating in [Competitions](../gameplay/competitions), [Gifts](../gattomons/gifts), GattoBoxes, and Contests.

And what’s a birthday without gifts? Balloons could be exchanged in the [Hat Mouse Shop](../my-district/hat-mouse-shop) for exclusive event-only items, such as:

* [**A Slice of Cake**](../gattomons/food), instantly boosting your [Gattomon](../gattomons) to [Level](../gattomons/level) 10
* [**The Hermes Set**](../gattomons/clothes), granting daily entry into special raffles for valuable rewards

**Increased Competition Limits**

To allow everyone to collect as many Balloons as possible, the daily limits for competitions were increased:

* Without a [Premium Ticket](../gattomons/premium-ticket) → Up to 400 races
* With a Premium Ticket → Up to 600 races

## **Prize Distribution**

To celebrate Gatto’s Birthday, a special [Hermes Armor Set](../gattomons/clothes) was introduced. This limited edition gear grants your pets a luck boost and guarantees entry into prize raffles.

From December 2 to December 5, four raffles per day were held among all Hermes Armor owners, with varied prize tiers. The more armor pieces you owned, the better the rewards.

## **Special Rewards**

To celebrate Gatto’s birthday, we also distributed additional prizes for all players.

* All players registered in Gatto before 01.12.2024 received the festive hat [**"First-Year Hat"**](../gattomons/clothes) in their [warehouse](../my-district/warehouse)
* The [**SBT "First Year in the GattoVerse"**](../achievement-sbt) was available to all players who joined the game before December 1
