Guild Run

Guild Run is a game mode in Cookie Run: OvenBreak, added on May 30th, 2019. Guild Runs are competitions between four Guilds of similar Ranks, where members of a Guild all run in up to four randomly selected Arenas, and their combined high scores compared to the other Guilds determines the winner. Running in Guild Runs gives a player seasonal Reward of Guild Coins, Coins, and Crystals, and winning Guild Runs awards Guild Coins and causes the Guild to rank up to receive better rewards.

Rules
Guilds of at least level 4 can participate in Guild Runs. Guild Runs can only be initiated by the Leader or Officers. If a member tries to start a Guild Run, the Leader and Officers will be notified that a member wants to run. Guild Runs use multiple different Arenas, specific maps with special rules and a limited selection of Cookies, Pets and Treasures, similar to the Champions League. At the beginning of the Guild Run, the Leader or Officer of each guild spins a wheel which randomly selects one Arena. If the wheel isn't spun within 10 minutes, an Arena is chosen randomly without spinning it. After each Guild has selected an Arena, the Guild Run starts. Multiple Guilds may roll the same Arena, causing there to be less than four Arenas in the Run.

Each attempt at an Arena requires a Guild Ticket. Each player starts a Guild Run with 10 Guild Tickets, and can get more by purchase, by watching ads, or by being given a gift from a Guildmate. Five tickets cost 200, and can be bought for personal use or bought for another guildmate. Watching an advertisement gives one ticket, which can be done ten times per Guild Run. Each member of a Guild can send a free gift of one ticket to a maximum of 20 guildmates.

Guilds are given stars proportionally based on their scores in an Arena, and at the end of a Guild Run the number of stars collected determines the winner. After the Guild Run is over, each player gets a reward of Guild Coins based on their guild's Rank and placement in the Guild Run, as well as a Contribution Bonus awarded based on their score among their Guildmates.

Each Guild Run Season lasts for two months. The current season determines the Season Items in the Guild Shop and the available Arenas, as well as any additional Season Rules and Recipes.

Guild Kitchen
The Guild Kitchen can be used to cook a Guild Meal that provides a buff to all Guild members during a single Guild Run. Ingredients for the Meal can be collected in Exploration Quests, and added to the pot by all members. The Guild Leader and Officers can decide when to cook, and can request a specific Recipe. If a request is made, Guild members who contribute will receive a reward of Guild Coins or Coins. Once the Leader or Officer decides to cook, the ingredients currently in the pot will determine the result. If the ingredients in the pot don't correspond to any recipe, a Mistake will be cooked. Newly cooked meals are added to the Recipe Book, where players can see the effect and ingredients of every meal they've cooked. A meal cannot be replaced during a Guild Run but one can be cooked during the Run if it is started with no meal.

Starting with the Bamboo Forest Season, there are Seasonal Recipes, which are only possible to cook during their season. So far, they have always been strong choices with effects connected to the Season Rule.

Guild Ranks
The Guild gains or loses Guild Trophies after a Guild Run based on the total stars collected, and these Trophies determine the Guild Rank. After the current Season is over, players who participated in at least three Guild Runs will receive a Season Reward based on their Guild's Rank.

When Guilds of Ruby rank or higher participate in Guild Runs, Arenas count the top scores of more players, so more guildmates must participate. The top twenty scoring Guilds are Rainbow rank, and receive a special cosmetic Guild Lobby design.
