To maximize your progression during the Moonlight Festival in Whiteout Survival, clear your daily "Number Mystery" matrix puzzle attempts to accumulate event currency, then spend those tokens in the Lunar Market on long-term power upgrades rather than basic resources.
How to Solve the Number Mystery Matrix
The Number Mystery mini-game is the primary source of event currency during the Moonlight Festival. Players interact with a grid matrix containing numbered tiles. Clearing combinations off the grid awards event tokens used in the shop.
To clear the grid efficiently:
- Identify Clusters First: Scan the board state before tapping. Look for numerical combinations and high-value clusters that clear whole rows or columns simultaneously.
- Exhaust Available Clears: Tapping randomly reduces your total yield per attempt. Exhaust all viable multi-tile clears before considering a grid reset.
- Reset Strategically: If your active board runs out of beneficial combinations, refresh the board only after all high-value numbered tiles have been cleared.
Lunar Market Spending Priority
Event currency earned from the Number Mystery grid must be spent in the Lunar Market before the festival ends. Because unspent tokens convert into negligible basic resources when the event expires, spend your full balance within the final 24 hours of the festival.
Focus your currency on items based on this priority structure:
| Priority Tier | Item Category | Target Upgrades | Strategic Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 (High) | Exclusive Power | Hero Shards, Rare Gear Fragments | Provides long-term combat growth that is difficult to obtain outside premium packs. |
| Tier 2 (Medium) | City Progression | Fire Crystals, High-Level Speed-Ups | Accelerates major city upgrades and key Furnace milestones. |
| Tier 3 (Low) | Farmable Stock | Basic Resources (Wood, Coal) | Can be gathered standardly on the world map; avoid unless higher tiers are cleared. |
Daily Routine and Resource Management
- Complete Daily Quotas: Event tokens depend on consistent daily logins. Unclaimed daily Number Mystery attempts are lost permanently and cannot be recovered later in the festival.
- Evaluate Stamina Trade-offs: Participating in event activities consumes energy that would otherwise go toward world map gathering or hunting beasts. If your city is actively undergoing a major Furnace upgrade, balance event participation with your primary building material needs.
- Avoid Diamond Refreshes: Save premium currency. Spending diamonds to refresh Number Mystery board attempts yields lower overall value than investing those diamonds directly into standard stamina refills or targeted power packs.

This saved me time in the early game.
Can you add more details about heroes in a future update?
This helped me understand heroes much better.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
