Cinco De Mayo Week
| May 2nd: The Spelunkorama & Cinco De Mayo update! That's right, we're doing both at the same time! So grab some maracas and a torch and go explore some scary caves and bust some pinatas. Who knows what treasure you might find?
Also, for the next 24 hours or so the grass has magically turned white! It's totally not a bug or anything, but a majestic feature. - @Seth and @Hamumu |
