TGIF! Viking Clan Updates for December 19, 2025

Happy Friday, players!

The holiday season is upon us and we hope you all have a warm and relaxing time however you choose to celebrate. To start off this week’s TGIF we have a few announcements to cover for the next couple weeks. There will be no TGIF next week on the 26th and it will return as normal on Jan 2nd. The Discord Stream will be paused after today and will return on Jan 9th (+ we also have a major Livestream coming on the 6th). The in-game action doesn’t slow down for a minute however, so let’s jump into the news of the week!

In-Game Updates:

Bundle up and bring the holiday spirit, because Old Man Winter has arrived! This legendary winter Raid Boss rules the season with booming laughter, snow-dusted strength, and a grin that promises both gifts and glorious chaos. Tattooed with ancient runes and crowned in holiday cheer, he’s here to test your raid team’s holiday spirit! Build more toys and keep your holiday cheer high and you’ll walk away with a sack full of presents. However, take him lightly and you’ll end up on the wrong side of his naughty list.

As you take on this Raid event you’ll earn tokens for the Holiday Raid Shop! Check it out and use those tokens to obtain items, boosts and loot chests. There will also be a special holiday Raid progress reward tracker and an event leaderboard. Both of these will award you with even more rewards, so don’t miss out on this massive Holiday celebration! Check out more details on the event here - https://kano.helpshift.com/hc/en/6-viking-clan/faq/698-holiday-raids/

Get a mug of your favorite warm beverage and dive into the festive season with the Holiday Sale! There are brand new bundles of items and Favor Points available now in-game. They’ll only be around until Saturday December 20th, so just like his reindeer, take flight and don’t miss out.

The Piggy Bank is back! From now until Monday December 22nd, a portion of the Favor Points you use will be saved in your Piggy Bank. Break it open and claim your bonus FP!

Get ready for a Double Calendar Challenge coming your way! First off is the Weekend Calendar starting on Friday December 19th @ 10AM PDT. Then following that there will be the Weekday Calendar Challenge starting up on Monday December 22nd @ 10AM PDT. Complete these challenges to earn XP + the clear bonus items!

Lastly, a reminder that twice a week there are new item drops in-game. Limited Time items on Tuesdays and Limited Quantity on Fridays. Keep an eye out for anything that catches your interest!

For our Discord community, every Friday you can join Matthew and the Player Success team for the Discord Stream! On Fridays at 12PM PST (or 3PM EST) you can join us live in our growing Kano Community Discord. Hang out and find out what’s happening next in our games, and who knows, you may just win yourself a prize of bonus FP or an exclusive item!

You can ask us questions about the game and let us know what you’d like to see in the future - Check out the Discord here: https://discord.gg/prmJzPEXfT

We recently released a new method for players to acquire Favor Points through a system called Rev U. By completing tasks such as making progress in a game or by filling out a survey, players can start earning extra FP for their account! You can access it from the Godfather page and our FAQ post here has all the details you’ll need - https://kano.helpshift.com/hc/en/6-viking-clan/faq/779-what-is-rev-u-and-how-does-it-work/

For our Mobile App players, we now have a new option for purchasing Favor Points, the Xsolla Webstore! Not only does it support more payment methods than what was previously available, but you’ll also have access to exclusive larger bundles of FP! You can find more info in our FAQ post along with the link - https://kano.helpshift.com/hc/en/6-viking-clan/faq/782-xsolla-webstore/

A reminder to our players about completing the Kano ID account upgrade. Eligible players (Facebook/Server 1 players) will see the banner on their homepage in-game near the top and it should only take a couple minutes. There are wonderful benefits to doing so:

25 FP bonus for signing up
