World Cup Event

Dear Zoo Directors,

"In Soviet Russia, country comes to you!" Football fever is rampant in the zoo, and you can now get a closer look at the World Cup's host country in this year's World Cup Event!



For the duration of the event, you'll find the seasonal section of your shop stocked with impressive Russian landmarks and international banners - use them to show your enthusiasm for your team and this year's enchanting host country!

Each World Cup decoration you place in your zoo will give you points in the form of Footballs at regular intervals. Just click on the pin that appears above them to collect your Footballs.



One special decoration - the King's Gate - will instantly give you 7,500 Footballs when you charge it for 10 Diamonds.

You can click on this icon at the right side of your playing field to see your progress. Collecting enough Footballs before the event ends on July 11 at 10:59 am CEST will allow you to earn 3 awesome animals for your zoo!

You can also help out your friends by sending pieces of two exclusive World Cup friendship gifts!

Prizes include two former prize animals, the Arapaima and the Kea, as well as a brand-new animal, the Raccoon Dog!

  • 50,000 Footballs - Arapaima
  • 100,000 Footballs - Kea
  • 200,000 Footballs - Raccoon Dog
  • 400,000 Footballs- Arapaima
  • 600,000 Footballs - Kea
  • 750,000 Footballs - Raccoon Dog




While bearing an uncanny resemblance to raccoons, the Raccoon Dog is actually a canine. Native to Eastern Asia - its Japanese name (tanuki) is also quite popular - it was introduced to parts of the Soviet Union between 1928-1958. It is now abundant in large parts of Eastern Europe. Raccoon Dogs are good fathers, helping the females raise their litters. In your zoos, these furry bandits will feel most comfortable in forest and ice enclosures, where they take up six fields of space and can be kept in groups of ten.

Enjoy the game!
