Where do I see what is running?
Open Events. It has three tabs.
- Events: what is live now. Cards show the clock, your progress and what the event pays.
- Calendar: events that are scheduled and events that have ended.
- Store: shops that open while an event sells something for its event currency.
- A card only works while its event is live. Upcoming and ended cards are read-only.

How does a Community Crunch work?
- Every action you play adds points to one shared progress bar for the whole city.
- When the bar reaches the level's target, the level ends and everyone who scored on it is ranked by points.
- Each player is paid tickets by place. Spend tickets in the Store tab.
- Then the next level starts. Its target is higher, and each level pays more tickets.
How many points does each action score?
These are the defaults. An event can change them, and its card shows the table it uses.
| Action | Points |
|---|---|
| Organised Crime | 50 |
| Flight | 20 |
| Mob boss attack | 10 |
| Heist | 5 |
| GTA | 4 |
| Job | 2 |
| Crime, jail break, any other action | 1 |
How many tickets does each place pay?
Levels 5–9 pay ×1.2, levels 10–14 pay ×1.4, and so on, rounded down. These are the defaults, and an event can change them.
| Place | Tickets |
|---|---|
| 1st | 100 |
| 2nd | 75 |
| 3rd | 60 |
| 4th | 50 |
| 5th | 35 |
| 6th | 30 |
| 7th | 25 |
| 8th and below | 20 |
How does a Solo Event work?
- Every action scores points toward your own total. Other players do not affect your level.
- Each level needs more points than the last. Reaching a level unlocks its reward.
- Tap Claim on a reached level to collect its reward. The ladder has a Free, a Premium and sometimes a Special track.
- Tap Unlock premium track to buy the Premium pass. You buy it once per run of the event.
- Bonus objectives add extra points when you complete them.
- Past the last level on the ladder, each new level pays its reward automatically and sends you a message.
How does a heist raid event work?
These events show as a banner on the Heist page.
- An event is announced 60 minutes before it starts and runs for 20 minutes.
- Each one is a job in one city: The Chase, Bank Vault, Corner Store, The Museum or The Penthouse. You must be in that city to start.
- All players take from one shared prize pool of cash, experience, points, bullets, or a mix. When it is empty the event ends.
- You get 3 runs per event. A run counts as used when it starts.
- Each run pays 0.1% to 2% of a standard payout, based on how much you take. A standard cash payout is $60,000.
- Every run also pays 100 experience, win or lose. You earn +1 crew influence if the run took anything.
- The run that empties the pool wins a bonus. A rare jackpot container can also appear inside a run, with a limit of 1 per event.
- Raid actions are free. They never cost bullets.
How do the Double XP and boost events work?
- Double XP gives ×2 experience on one of Crimes, GTA or Heists. The activity changes every hour, so check the card.
- The Organised Crime cash boost adds a % bonus to Organised Crime cash. It grows by 10% for each Organised Crime you complete during the event.
- These apply automatically. There is nothing to claim.
Tips
- Event timers are on the card. When an event ends, its actions stop working.
- In a Community Crunch you only get placed if you scored on that level. Any points count.
- Raid events are first come, first served. Be in the city when the 60-minute warning ends.
- Event tickets and event currency are spent in the Store tab, not in the normal market.
