SI Anniversary Adventure FAQ

Entry & Eligibility

How do I enter the Island Anniversary Adventure sweepstakes?

Unlock the Anniversary Adventure Event at Level 12, play the event and claim your Golden Ticket by progressing through the milestone rewards of the in-game event. Once you have your ticket, a pop-up will direct you to the entry form - fill in your details, confirm your eligibility, and hit submit. Good luck!

What is the Golden Ticket and how do I get it?

The Golden Ticket is a special reward available during the Anniversary Adventure Event. Play the event and progress through the milestone rewards in order to earn it. Once you have it, you're eligible to enter the sweepstakes.

Do I need to purchase anything to enter?

No. There is no purchase necessary at any point.

What level do I need to be to enter?

The Anniversary Adventure Event unlocks at Level 12, which is reachable through free gameplay in roughly 1-2 days of active play. Once you've reached Level 12, play the event and claim your Golden Ticket to become eligible.

Can I share my entry link with other players?

No - please don't share your entry link with other players. When you tap the sweepstakes entry button in-game, a personalized link is generated that contains your unique Sunshine Island User ID. If another player submits an entry through your link, the submission will be associated with your account, which could affect the eligibility of both entries and lead to disqualification.

To ensure your entry is valid, access the entry form directly through the in-game button on your own device and account. Each player must enter through their own game account only.

How do you verify that I've claimed the Golden Ticket?

After the draw, we verify every potential winner's entry by checking server-side that the Sunshine Island User ID submitted in the entry form has claimed the Golden Ticket in the Anniversary Adventure Event. If the User ID cannot be verified as having claimed the Golden Ticket, the entry will be disqualified and an alternate winner selected. This is why it's important to enter through the in-game button on your own account.

Draw & Winners

Can I enter the sweepstakes more than once?
