Events are the single best source of free resources in Match Masters but most players treat them all the same way. Solo, team, and seasonal events each work differently and reward different strategies. This guide covers all three.
Match Masters runs events constantly. Solo events, team events, seasonal events, sometimes two or three at once.
Most players treat them all the same way. They Play matches, hope for good rewards and move on. That approach leaves a lot of value on the table.
Each event type scores differently and rewards a different strategy. This guide breaks down exactly how each one works so you can stop guessing.
Why Events Matter More Than Regular Matches
Regular ranked matches give you steady coins, trophies, and occasional booster drops. Events give you something different: concentrated rewards in a short window.
The same hour spent playing during an active event typically returns more boosters, gems, and stickers than the same hour spent grinding regular matches. The catch is that events are time limited. Once they end, the opportunity is gone.
Regular matches will always be there. Events will not. When an event is active, it deserves priority over casual grinding. You can grind regular matches any day. You cannot get back an event reward you missed.
Every Event Type Explained
Solo events track your individual progress against fixed milestones rather than against other players directly.
Solo Events
Your performance against fixed milestones
How they work
You earn event points by playing matches and completing specific objectives, such as winning a set number of games or scoring above a target. Your points fill a progress track with milestone rewards along the way.
How scoring works
There is no direct competition against other players. You are racing against the clock and the milestone targets, not against a leaderboard. Anyone who reaches a milestone gets that reward, regardless of how others are doing.
What are they Best for ?
Players without an active team, or anyone who wants steady, predictable rewards without worrying about where they rank against others. Lower pressure than team or seasonal events.
Team Events
Combined contribution against other teams
How Team events work ?
Every team member’s match results feed into a shared team total. Your team is ranked against other teams of a similar level, and the team’s final rank determines the prize every member receives.
How scoring works
Individual contribution matters but the final result depends on the whole team. A strong individual performance in a team with mostly inactive members still results in a weak overall finish. Team activity level determines the ceiling on what rewards are achievable.
What are they Best for ?
Active members of a competitive team. The reward-to-effort ratio is the best of any event type because your contribution combines with everyone else’s. See our full Team Guide for how to find an active team.
Seasonal Events
Longer events tied to the season calendar
How they work
Seasonal events run for longer periods, often a week or more, and usually combine elements of solo progress tracks with bigger overall prize pools. They are tied to the broader season calendar alongside the Battle Pass.
How scoring works
Scoring varies by the specific seasonal event but generally rewards sustained daily participation over the full event window rather than a short burst of intense play. Missing several days in the middle of a seasonal event can be hard to recover from.
What are they Best for
Players who can commit to playing daily for the full event duration. The largest individual rewards in the game often come from completing a seasonal event fully, including exclusive stickers not available anywhere else.
I used to skip team events because I thought solo events were enough. Then my team finished 3rd in a team event and I got more gems from that one event than I had earned from solo events the entire month. Team events are underrated if your team is actually active.Match Masters player, r/matchmasters
How Scoring Differs Between Event Types
Here is a side-by-side comparison to make the differences clear at a glance.
| Factor | Solo Event | Team Event | Seasonal Event |
|---|---|---|---|
| Competes against | Fixed milestones | Other teams | Time and milestones |
| Typical duration | A few hours to 1 day | 1 to 3 days | 1 week or more |
| Depends on others | No | Yes, heavily | Partially |
| Reward ceiling | Moderate | High (if team is active) | Highest |
| Requires daily login | Not strictly | Recommended | Yes, for full rewards |
| Best suited to | Casual or solo players | Active team members | Consistent daily players |
How to Prioritise When Multiple Events Overlap
Match Masters often runs more than one event simultaneously. When that happens, you need a quick way to decide where to spend your limited playtime.
Check time remaining first
An event ending in 3 hours needs attention now. An event running for another 5 days can wait until tomorrow. Always handle the most time-sensitive event first.
Team events take priority if your team is active
Your individual play directly affects teammates in a team event. Solo and seasonal events do not have this social cost if you skip a session.
Compare the reward tiers
Open each event screen and compare what the top reward actually is. Spend more of your limited time on the event with the better prize for the same effort.
Seasonal events need daily check-ins
Because seasonal rewards often depend on sustained participation, a quick daily check-in matters more than one long session. Do not let a seasonal event slip for several days.
Do not let three events distract you from finishing one. Spreading limited playtime evenly across three overlapping events often means missing the top reward tier in all three. Pick the one or two with the best returns and commit to those.
Mistakes That Cost Players Event Rewards
Some of these mistakes are common and are done by majority of the players playing the game:
Forgetting events exist until they are almost over
Checking the events tab once a week means catching most events in their final hours, if at all.
Make checking the events screen part of your daily routine, the same way you check daily gifts and missions.
Playing a team event without telling the team
If you are pushing hard in a team event, a quick message in team chat encourages others to join in too. A team event with five active contributors out of thirty members performs far worse than one where everyone pitches in.
Communication in team chat during events genuinely affects the final result.
Ignoring seasonal events because they feel like a long commitment
Seasonal events seem daunting because of their length, so players skip them entirely. But most seasonal rewards only require a few minutes of daily check-in, not hours of grinding.
A short daily habit over a week adds up to the best individual rewards available in the game.
Not checking official channels for event announcements
Candivore announces upcoming events on their official channels before they go live in the app. Checking the official Candivore website or the Match Masters website gives you a heads-up to prepare boosters and clear your schedule before a big event starts.
I missed an entire seasonal event because I did not open the app for four days during a busy week. Found out later it had an exclusive sticker I really wanted. Now I check the events tab every morning even if I do not have time to play.Match Masters player, Facebook community group

Conclusion
Solo events are the easiest entry point and work for anyone regardless of team status. Team events give the best reward-to-effort ratio if you are in an active team. Seasonal events have the highest ceiling but require consistent daily check-ins over a longer window.
When events overlap, prioritise by time remaining first, then by reward quality, then by whether your participation affects teammates.
The biggest mistake is not participating at all. Even a quick daily check of the events tab catches opportunities that a once-a-week glance will always miss.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of events does Match Masters have?
Match Masters runs three main event types. Solo events score your individual performance against personal milestones. Team events combine every team member’s contribution into a shared score against other teams. Seasonal events run for longer periods and usually combine elements of both with bigger prize pools.
Which event type gives the best rewards?
Seasonal events typically have the largest individual prize pools because they run longer and reward sustained participation. Team events give the best rewards relative to individual effort since your score combines with teammates. Solo events are the most consistent and accessible option for players without an active team.
Do events cost anything to enter?
Most events are free to participate in. You contribute simply by playing your regular matches during the event window. Some seasonal events may have specific conditions, like using certain boosters or maintaining a minimum trophy count, to qualify for the top reward tiers.
How often do new events appear?
Solo events run frequently, often multiple times a week. Team events appear on a rotating schedule depending on overall team activity in the game. Seasonal events are tied to the Battle Pass calendar and major updates, typically showing up every few weeks.
Should I prioritise events over regular ranked matches?
When an event is active, yes. Events give better rewards per minute played than regular ranked matches. Ranked matches are always available whenever you want to play them, but events are time limited, so prioritising active events gives you resources you cannot recover once the event closes.
What happens if my team does not participate in a team event?
If most of your team is inactive during a team event, the combined team score stays low regardless of how well you personally perform. This results in a weaker final team rank and smaller rewards for everyone, including active contributors. This is why being in an active team matters specifically for team events.
