What is an Epic Project?

Epic Projects convert a regular fully upgraded residential building into an Epic Building. Epic Buildings hold more citizens and produce Shop Speed-Up Token Parts that can be used to speed up crafting in your commercial buildings.Shop Speed-Up Tokens accelerate your crafting. Learn how to use your Shop Speed-Up Tokens.You can only work on one Epic Project at a time. After you complete that Epic Project, there’s a cooldown before you can start another.
You have a limited time to complete an Epic Project once you start it. When the timer runs out the project tier you reached (Bronze, Silver, or Gold) will determine what type of building you get and what type of Shop Speed-Up Tokens it generates.

How to complete Epic Projects

In the Epic Project window:
  • Select Show Tasks.
  • Select the Epic Task bubbles with the star token icon to begin helping your community and earning Project Points.
As you earn more Epic Points you’ll reach higher project tiers.
  • Bronze Tier (Turtle symbol)
  • Silver Tier (Llama symbol)
  • Gold Tier (Cheetah symbol)
Once time is up, select Upgrade to create your Epic Building. Remember to collect your Shop Speed-Up Token Parts daily! They will appear on top of your Epic Buildings.
