Lords Mobile Picture Reveal: why the event had two deadlines

In Lords Mobile's October 2026 Picture Reveal event, purchases earned points until October 19 at 07:59 Moscow time, while using those points and claiming prizes remained available until October 20 at 07:59. Both deadlines have passed. This is a dated analysis of that completed round. The Lords Mobile calendar guide explains why separate actions need separate reminders; here their deadlines were a full day apart.

Which deadline applied to which action?

The relevant announcement concerned revealing a picture tile by tile. IGG's French version called it Défi de révélation d’images. It was separate from Transformers Lords Puzzle, with its completions and prize-draw attempts. This event used purchase points to open tiles. The rules of one cannot establish those of the other.

The announcement labelled two periods separately. Gagnez des points via vos achats, earning points through purchases, ran October 17 at 00:00 through October 18 at 23:59 GMT−5. Tirage et récupération des prix, drawing and claiming prizes, ran October 17 at 00:00 through October 19 at 23:59 GMT−5. The detailed rules specified both ending times to the second: 23:59:59.

Open the archived announcement at full size. Moscow is eight hours ahead of GMT−5. Both periods therefore started October 17 at 08:00 Moscow time. Point earning ended October 19 at 07:59:59; tile opening and prize claims ended October 20 at 07:59:59. These dates belong to the October 2026 window examined on October 18.

The extra 24 hours did not extend the eligible purchase period. They were provided for draws and prize claims. Existing points could still be used after the first deadline, but later purchases could not earn fresh event points under that published window.

What earned the line bonus?

Points were this event's internal unit; each tile cost 15 points to open and awarded a random prize. Completing a row or column of four tiles provided an additional reward: six Legendary Manuscripts or 60 Mana Crystals. The requirement was a complete line, rather than any four tiles scattered across the board.

Open the archived detailed rules at full size. Four openings at 15 points cost 60 points when starting an empty line. An entirely empty 16-tile board required 240 points. This is point arithmetic, rather than a money price: the text examined did not provide a money-to-points rate from which to calculate a purchase budget.

After opening all 16 tiles, the rules allowed resetting the picture to begin another round. A round meant the next board after a reset; completing a board did not automatically start it. Selecting four grand prizes for the pool of possible rewards also did not promise all four from one opening.

Checks to carry into a future event

For any later round, open its actual announcement and rules, then check the earning period, point balance and prize deadline again. In the round analysed here, already-earned points and required prize contact details had to be dealt with before October 20 at 07:59 Moscow time, with a margin for signing in. Opening one tile did not itself submit any required details. This paragraph is not an invitation to claim prizes from the expired round.

This article does not assess purchase value or calculate a grand-prize probability: published odds sufficient for that calculation were not found. The useful distinction is between purchasing, spending points and receiving the result. Read each under its own rule and check dates afresh whenever the event returns.
