Police Chief Strategy Guide

Bingo Event

(v1.0 — last updated 9/17/26)

← Back to Index

A seven-day 5×3 task grid that pays a chest for every completed row or column and a grand chest for the full board. The game re-skins it every few months, but the board, the tasks and the one paid cell never change.

7-Day Event15 Tasks · 9 ChestsUnlock Varies by SkinRecurring Re-skin

01. The Event

Every version of this event is the same board with a different coat of paint. Oktoberfest, Party Gifts, Donut Day and Energy Revolution all run one engine: 15 tasks in a 5×3 grid, a chest for each of the 5 rows and 3 columns, and one grand chest for all 15. The only things a new skin changes are the art, the unlock level and what the chests pay.

Each task cell pays a small resource pack on its own. The real value sits in the chests, and the grand chest is most of it: 5,000 Diamonds in three of the four skins so far. Everything in this guide is about getting to that chest as cheaply as possible.

🧩 15 Cells

One task each. Pays a 10K resource pack bundle when claimed.

📦 8 Line Chests

5 row chests (3 cells each) and 3 column chests (5 cells each). Column chests pay more than row chests in every skin.

🏆 1 Grand Chest

All 15 cells. Usually 5,000 Diamonds plus the skin's headline currency. Claimed from the Claim button in the chest tip panel.

02. Unlock and Entry

The unlock level is a skin setting, not an event rule. Chief's Office Lvl 9 is the common bar, but Energy Revolution opened at Lvl 7 and Party Gifts had no level condition at all. Check the skin block in section 07 for the current bar. The event runs for seven days and appears on the events calendar before it opens, so you can see it coming.

The more important entry fact: recent skins ship as two reward variants of the same board, and the server picks which one you get. Oktoberfest either pays 45 Universal Speedups or 95 Electro Cores across its chests. Party Gifts either pays speedups or 48 Electro Cores. You cannot switch between them. Electro Cores are a building material used from Chief's Office Lvl 30, while the event unlocks around Lvl 9, so a newer player on the Electro Core variant is banking materials for months from now.

⭐ Day-One Check

Open the event and tap a locked row chest to preview its contents before you spend anything. If the row chests show Electro Cores and you are far from Chief's Office Lvl 30, the payout is deferred value. Decide whether to fund the Diamond cell and the pack cell based on the variant you actually got, not the one you read about.

03. The Task Grid

Three of the four skins so far use the exact same 15 tasks, in the same positions, with the same cell rewards. If you have played Donut Day, Party Gifts or Oktoberfest, you have already seen this board. Only Energy Revolution used a different task list, covered in its own block in section 07. Column and row names below are this guide's labels for the lines, chosen for the cell that defines each one.

Cell Rewards

Every cell pays one stack of 10K resource packs. Claiming all 15 banks 10.8M Ammo, 8.1M Cash, 2.2M Electricity and 600K Gas. That is a useful top-up for a mid-game account, but it is the side dish. No cell pays Diamonds, speedups or books.

04. Claiming

A chest does not unlock when its cells are finished. It unlocks when its cells are claimed. A cell that shows "Claim" but has not been tapped still counts as blocking its row chest, its column chest and the grand chest. The in-game rules text for every skin says "complete all tasks in a row" and never mentions this. Players finish a line, see the chest stay dark, and assume progress is lagging. It is not. Tap the cells.

✓ Habit

Open the event once a day and clear the red dot. Claim every ready cell, then every ready chest. Never leave a claimable cell sitting, because the chest math above it is frozen until you do.

05. Line Cost Ladder

Four of the nine chests are free. Two more cost 2,500 Diamonds. The last three cost real money. That is the whole event in one sentence, and it follows from where two cells sit: the Diamond cell anchors the Diamond Row and the Diamond Column, the pack cell anchors the Pack Row and the Pack Column, and the grand chest needs both.

Cells That Move Together

⭐ Free-Player Target

Clear the Login Row, Arena Row, Intel Row and Login Column. That is 11 cells and 4 chests with no Diamonds and no purchase. Then stop. The remaining four cells cost 2,500 Diamonds and a pack, and without the pack the Diamond spend only buys two mid-tier chests.

06. The Pack Cell

The pack cell gates more than half of the event's value. It locks the Pack Row chest, the Pack Column chest and the grand chest, and the grand chest alone is 5,000 Diamonds in most skins. Using the Oktoberfest speedup variant as the worked example: a player who does everything except buy a pack ends with 18 speedups, 4 Legendary Recruitments, 2 Patrol books, 4 Hero EXP and 80 Skins Coin. The three locked chests hold 5,000 Diamonds, 27 speedups, both Deployment books, 2 Legendary Hero Fragments and 130 Skins Coin.

Diamond Math

The Use 2,500 Diamonds cell is only worth funding if you also buy the pack. With the pack, the grand chest returns 5,000 Diamonds, so the 2,500 you spend comes back doubled on top of every other chest. Without the pack there is no grand chest, and 2,500 Diamonds buys you exactly two chests: the Diamond Row and the Diamond Column. If you are not buying the pack, only spend Diamonds you were going to spend that week anyway, and make sure the spend lands inside the event window so it counts.

Which Pack Qualifies

The cell text says "a pack containing 2,500 or more Top-Up Points". The rule behind the cell is written as one pack priced at or above $4.99. Read the Top-Up Points on the pack you are considering before you buy, and prefer a pack that clearly satisfies both. The Go button opens the pack center, not a specific pack.

If you buy one pack per month anyway, buy it during this event. The same purchase unlocks three chests and the 5,000-Diamond grand chest it would not unlock a week earlier.

07. Themes

Every skin below runs the board in sections 03 through 06. What changes is the art, the unlock level, the reward variants and what the chests pay. Skill book counts differ sharply between skins, from 3 to 28 for a full clear, so a skin's chest table is the only reliable way to value it. Release order, oldest first.

⚡ Energy Revolution

The first skin, and the only one with a different set of 15 tasks. It leans on power growth and alliance activity instead of combat. It also pays the most: 90 Electro Cores, 5,000 Diamonds and 28 Legendary Skill Books for a full clear. The unlock is the lowest of the standalone skins at Chief's Office Lvl 7.

🍩 Donut Day

The skill-book skin. 23 Legendary Skill Books for a full clear, with 20 of them in the grand chest. One reward variant only. The catch is the speedups: all 45 are Construction speedups, not Universal, so they only help building queues.

🎆 Party Gifts

The Fourth of July skin, and the odd one out on access: no Chief's Office requirement at all, with the entry icon showing from Lvl 6. It does not appear in the normal event center. It lives as one panel inside the Fourth of July Bash festival hub. Two reward variants again: speedups or 48 Electro Cores.

🍺 Oktoberfest

Two reward variants: 45 Universal Speedups or 95 Electro Cores for a full clear. Everything else in the chests is identical between them. The grand chest tip promises "Bavarian Treats". That is flavor text, not an item; the chest pays Diamonds, the variant currency, Hero Fragments and Skins Coin.

08. Common Mistakes

  • ▸ Finishing a line and waiting for the chest. The chest needs every cell claimed, not completed. Tap the cells.
  • ▸ Spending 2,500 Diamonds without buying the pack. That buys two chests. The 5,000-Diamond refund only exists with a full clear.
  • ▸ Buying a pack on the wrong week. If you buy one pack a month, buy it during the event. The same money unlocks three chests.
  • ▸ Starting training on day four. 3,000 officers and 150 Contributions need the full seven days. Queue both on day one.
  • ▸ Treating 10M and 20M Confiscate as two jobs. One counter. Aim for 20M.
  • ▸ Assuming the reward table from last time. Each skin, and each variant of a skin, pays differently. Preview a chest on day one.

TL;DR — The Quick Hits

  1. 1. Same board every skin: 15 tasks, 5 row chests, 3 column chests, 1 grand chest, 7 days.
  2. 2. A chest unlocks only when every cell in its line is claimed. Finished is not enough. Tap the cells.
  3. 3. No claim-all. A full clear is 24 taps. Clear the red dot daily.
  4. 4. Four chests are free: Login Row, Arena Row, Intel Row, Login Column. That is the free-player target.
  5. 5. The Use 2,500 Diamonds cell adds two chests. The pack cell adds three, including the grand chest.
  6. 6. The grand chest is 5,000 Diamonds in most skins. Spend 2,500 to get 5,000 back only if you also buy the pack.
  7. 7. No pack, no Diamond spend. Without the grand chest the Diamond cell is a loss.
  8. 8. The qualifying pack is written two ways: 2,500 Top-Up Points or a $4.99 price. Which is enforced is unconfirmed. Pick a pack that satisfies both.
  9. 9. Recent skins ship two reward variants and the server picks. Preview a row chest on day one before spending.
  10. 10. Electro Core variants pay a material you cannot use until Chief's Office Lvl 30.
  11. 11. Start Train 3,000 Officers and 150 Contributions on day one. They are the only cells that need the whole week.
  12. 12. Criminal hunting clears Defeat 30, Consume 1,000 Energy and the boss rallies together. Heal afterward for the Heal cell.
  13. 13. Both Confiscate cells share one counter. Aim for 20M once.
  14. 14. Skill book counts are a skin trait, from 3 to 28. Read the skin block before valuing the event.
  15. 15. Cells pay 10K resource packs only. Every Diamond, speedup and book is in a chest.
