Duels

Updated over 4 months ago

Duels are a fun way to compete with friends and other players to earn rewards for your designs. You can challenge people from three places: Friends, Squads, or the Community.


How Duels Work

Friends (Head-to-Head)

  • Challenge a single Facebook friend directly.

  • Winning a Friends duel earns 20 Silver.

  • Up to 10 Friends duel wins will award Silver per day — after that you can still duel but you won’t receive Silver for additional wins.

Squads

  • Squad duels automatically match your completed design against other members of your squad.

  • Squad duels usually offer higher rewards than standard matches.

  • Squads can also earn group bonuses when the entire squad reaches certain goals; group rewards are shared among members based on contribution.

Community

  • Community duels show designs from the wider player base and are used for broader voting and visibility.

  • Community matches are useful if you want general feedback or exposure beyond friends and squadmates.


Starting a Duel

  1. Open the Duels menu.

  2. Choose the tab for Friends, Squad, or Community.

  3. Follow the on-screen prompts to challenge a friend (Friends), let the game auto-match you (Squad), or vote/enter community duels (Community).

  4. You can also share your design on Facebook to invite friends to challenge it directly.


Tracking Your Duels

  • Check the Closed section of the Duels screen to review past matches.

  • Wins are marked with a trophy icon and highlighted in green so you can scan results quickly.


Why a Duel May Not Count (or Reward)

If a duel didn’t count for a mission or you didn’t get the expected rewards, the most common reasons are:

  • Wrong duel type for the mission: Missions that ask for a head-to-head duel require the Friends tab. Squad and Community duels usually won’t count for head-to-head missions.

  • Daily reward limit reached: You may have hit the daily cap for duel rewards (for example, Silver from Friends duels). After the cap is reached, additional wins won’t grant the same daily reward.

  • Temporary delays: Match generation and reward delivery can be delayed briefly due to backend or platform syncs. If new duels are slow to appear, wait a few minutes and try again.

  • Squad vs Friend confusion: Squad duels auto-match and have different reward behavior — don’t assume a squad win counts in the same way as a friend duel.


Quick Troubleshooting (If Something Looks Off)

  • Check Closed Duels: Confirm the result is recorded in the Closed section.

  • Confirm duel type: Make sure you used Friends if the mission requires a head-to-head win.

  • Check daily limits: Remember the Silver-from-friend-wins cap (10 per day).

  • Wait briefly: If matches or rewards are delayed, wait a few minutes for the system to update.

  • Try again later: If you’ve reached limits, come back after the daily reset.


Quick Tips

  • Use Friends duels when a mission specifically requires a head-to-head win.

  • Use Squad duels if you want higher match rewards and to help your whole squad earn bonuses.

  • Use Community duels to get broader visibility and voting feedback for your design.
