The Travelling Fair
Constructing the Fair
First we need to build a foundation for the carnival, no one likes to play games in the middle of the prairie!
If you check on the mini map you can find the amusement park by looking for an orange triangle (). Here you can see what you need for the products to construct the carnival, it may appear that there are too many products that must be collected to build the fair, but you are not alone in collecting. All players in the world gain access to fair once it is constructed therefore it is best if you help each other build the fair as fast as you can. What is needed to complete the construction and how many of each product are determined by a formula. It counts first and foremost how many active players there are in the world but also how many of the active players who can actually do the jobs required and then decides how many products as needed to complete the carnival.
To construct the fair one time, it will take 1 hour, 12 energy and $240.
Rewards
When the fair is fully constructed everyone who helped gets a reward in the form of bonds, how much you get depends on how much you helped.
Calculation of the amount of bonds you get:
There are 21 possible reward categories, 20 for the various products and 1 for construction.
The amount of bonds available to be won for each category is determined by a formula that calculates a combined bond pool for all the products and construction based on the players on the server. Then the bond pool is split evenly among the 21 different categories. In the below examples a combined bond pool of 2100 is used, meaning each product has a pool of 100 bonds to be won and construction of the fair has a pool of 100 bonds.
Common products:
If for example the fair needed 5000 lambswool, submitting 100 lambswool would mean you contributed 100 out of a total 5000, or 2% (rounded).
Because you submitted 2% of the products required, you will get 2% of the bonds for that category. As this is a common product that means you would get 2% of the 100 bonds available for this product, therefore 2 bonds.
Uncommon Products:
If for example the fair needed 900 roses, submitting 100 roses would mean you contributed 100 out of a total 900, or 11% (rounded).
Because you submitted 11% of the products required, you will get 11% of the bonds for that category. You will get 11% of the 100 bonds available for this product, therefore you would receive 11 bonds.
Submitting a single product will always net you at least 1 bond for that product category.
Construction is calculated the same as product contributions. If you construct the fair for 15% of the construction points required, you will receive 15% of the bonds available.
On top of the rewards stated above, you will also receive 5 bonds for every day that you interact with the fair during it's construction. For example if you drop a product at the fair one day and construct the fair a day later and once again on a third day, you will receive 15 bonds for activity (3 days x 5 bonds)
Once you have you helped to design the carnival for 30 days, you get the achievement "King of Fair".
There are also two quests that can be accepted through the saloon relating to the fair construction, as well as one secret quest that can only be accepted during the opening of the games.
Games
Once the fair has been fully constructed you can begin playing. It is possible to play from anywhere on the map. Every day you get a free game but you can also choose to play more than once, then it costs you 25 Nuggets or 25 Bonds. At this time it is not possible to invest more nuggets or bonds to get better gains. Prizes are completely random from the categories shown.

After the Fair Ends
The fair will stay in the same place for 14 days, then change it to the next County. It starts at the top left and ending at the bottom right. If the carnival is being built ready in 2 days, then the carnival to be up to play games for 12 days, and if is completed in 6 days, it will only be open for 8 days. All in all, the fair will be in the same place for 14 days. The fair will gradually complete itself if nobody assists in the construction, with the longest construction period possible being 7 days.
When the fair has closed, it will take between 7 and 20 days before it opens again in a new place.
