Lost Island
"A research yacht has discovered an island covered in jungles with signs of an ancient civilization. The locals say you can find real treasure there!"
"Head to Lost Island in search of adventure. The mysteries of an ancient civilization and treasure await you!"

"Explore the Mysterious Cave, find artifacts and ancient coins. Hurry, the island will be unavailable after the hunt ends!"

Artifact (Lost Island)

Lost Island is a special contest released by Social Quantum and the only one that takes place on Lost Island. It is a timed contest in which the player has 14 days to construct/clear buildings, complete contracts, collect benefits at buildings or the "mining game" to accrue points toward placement on a leaderboard. These special buildings are only available during the timed event. It was released as part of an update on Thu June 8, 2017[1].

On the last day of the contest the player get an offer which multiply the amount of artifacts, that can be obtained at fixed buildings or excavated at the Mysterious Cave, by two.

On Thu May 19, 2022, this contest was rerun with a few changes. The Gold Mayan Statue is moved from Shop Items to a newly implemented State Expedition which was not available on the first run. The statue on the shop was replaced by a treasure chest costing 75 Ancient Coin.
