What is Café Cerise?

Café Cerise is a new common shop, run by the new NPCs Vigo and Luka. You can access it from the Shops tab.
This is a permanent addition to Voltra and will be treated like other common shops. Items will only be purchasable with volts.

Café Cerise will have food-themed commons, as well as another feature that will be revealed soon.
Food-themed commons will be available year-round. New stock will be added over time and announced in the Commons Review Surge.
Stay tuned for an update on the secret reveal at the end of the event.

You can also earn a free event item by playing the games on the Landing Page.
Each game grants one item, and new games are unlocked daily. (You are able to go back and play games that you missed in order to receive that day's item.)



What are the available activities?

Vibrant Café
Head over to Café Cerise, which has been transformed into a venue where patrons can be waited on by charming servers!
It looks like the staff needs your help, and you'll surely be rewarded for your efforts...
Updated daily!

Picture Perfect: Art Contest
Spark has taken on the role of the event photographer. Join him at the photo booth to capture some great memories!

Ask Your Server: NPC Questions
Want to know more about the staff at the café? Have something you want to share with them? Send a note through Arika and Berinhard!

App-etizing Errands: GIF Games

How long will the event run for?

The event officially launched on April 17th, and will run for two weeks, ending on May 1st.

Once the event ends on May 1st, goodie bags and bundles will be added to Joyful Jamboree.
You will have one more week to earn and spend your event currency.
(Goodie bags contain one event item of your choice. Bundles contain a copy of every event item in the set.)

On May 8th, event forums will be closed and locked, event currency will be disabled, and event items will be removed from the shop.



The Vibrant Café game didn't give me a prize!

As stated in the game and on the Landing Page, you will need to turn off your pop-up blocker in order to receive your prize.
Keep in mind, your pop-up blocker is not the same as your ad blocker, and some browsers come built in with one.

Apple users are likely to run into this problem, as Safari automatically has pop-up blocker turned on.
Be sure to allow pop-ups from Voltra in your Preferences.

(Don't worry! The only pop-ups you ever have to worry about from us are prizes!)



I have a question/problem/feedback!

Feel free to post in this thread and ping @Mayor Volkan: with your issue/comment.
If more urgent, please submit a support ticket, or use our Discord.

May 14th: See the third post for an update on the end of the event!



As you approach the main plaza, you spot the Blooming March tree, branches swaying in the spring wind, occasionally dropping pink petals that flutter through the air. Your attention is caught by a large crowd gathered near a storefront that you've never seen before.

At the front of the crowd, you notice Mayor Volkan, who waves you over enthusiastically.


”Oh! I'm glad you made it! The festivities are just about to begin.”


Café Cerise
Grand Opening



You watch as Mayor Volkan cuts the large ribbon surrounding an elegant stone teahouse. As the crowd cheers, he shakes hands with a sophisticated man donning a butler's uniform, before reaching down to greet a young boy in a chef's outfit.

Mayor Volkan introduces the refined gentleman as Vigo, and the little cook as his apprentice, Luka. They've just opened a new shop in Voltra, a boutique selling exquisite items. Attached to the store is a cafe, where customers can partake in food and drink.

To celebrate the grand opening of Café Cerise and the annual Vibrance Day festival, Vigo and Luka are inviting all of Voltra's citizens to their shop for a unique dining experience. You'll see some familiar faces helping out at the café, and it looks like your help is needed too!


Be sure to do some shopping on your break! Vigo and Luka have stocked an assortment of items you'll surely enjoy.

Apple users also may experience some odd visual glitches, but the game will still be playable.


Thread Activities

It seems some citizens of Wonderland are curious of the strange goings-on in Looking Glass Land. They're popping up all through our forums with activities to entertain, perhaps it would be worth your while to pay them a visit...

Mad Tea Party
The Hatter, Hare, and Dormouse cordially invite you to another of their infamous tea parties. Join in the festivities, hang out with your fellow trapped Volties, and perhaps win yourself an unbirthday gift or two.

Mirrored Expressions
It seemed the White Rabbit has gotten lost... Why not spend a little time with him and bring some beauty back to this dark land?

Nonsensical Words
It seems the Flower Maiden is visiting Looking Glass Land to spend time with some relatives... Oh! But she's forgotten to bring a gift. Why not help her out by writing a poem?

The Card Knight has a challenge for you! Fight your way through this massive chessboard to win daily prizes!
