«Tanki and The Snow Trap» mini-game 2025
In honor of the New Year, we’re launching the “Tanki and The Snow Trap” mini-game.
Get ready to join us on the journey to conquer the unexplored winter territories! Put on warm clothes, get into a cozy mood, and go travelling for valuable prizes!
From December 26th 2 AM UTC until January 22nd 2 AM UTC, we will launch the “Tanki and The Snow Trap” mini-game on a special site. You will conquer drifting ice floes and receive special prizes!
To get your tank to move between those ice floes, your tank will need fuel — Gingerbread.
These are the special event currency. You can track the number of your units of Gingerbread reserves on the mini-game interface.
Here are the ways that you can get Gingerbread:
Completing special event missions — 12 units of Gingerbread
From special Gold Boxes — 1 unit of Gingerbread

At the end of the event, if you completed a contract, but didn’t claim its reward, you can receive an alternative reward depending on the contract’s price.
After January 21st, all contracts will become unavailable and expire. They will be marked with a red color.
Before completing a contract, DON’T FORGET to activate it.
How to Start
Log in
To start your journey, you need to log in to the mini-game website, using the nickname and the password of your in-game account.
By the way, the mini-game site will now be available on mobile devices!
If you use Facebook or Google to log in to your account, you will need to contact our customer service to get a password for your account to enter the website.
Ice Floes
Ice Floes
The mini-game map consists of ice floes, and on each of them, a surprise awaits you.
But as you know, there are good and bad surprises:
Let’s start with the good ones, where you will get: Common Keys, Rare Keys, Epic Keys, an augment for Magnum, ICE skins, and special Grenades. When you conquer an ice floe, a reward is sent to a special storage at the Checkpoint, and is not immediately credited to your in-game account.
For each move, you need to spend 10 units of Gingerbread. You can move one or two floes forward.
There will be special “snow traps” on your way. By entering them, you have a 50% chance to either move two steps back or stay in the same place.
Don’t worry, even if luck is not on your side and you get pushed back, you can receive a reward for each ice floe that you pass twice on your way forward.
Checkpoints
A player starts their journey from the 1st Checkpoint. The mini-game ends when you reach the 7th Checkpoint.
After completing a whole lap, the player reaches a checkpoint. There is a special vault on it to store all the prizes that the player received from the ice floes on that lap. When visiting a checkpoint, the player can transfer the prizes from the vault to their in-game account.
Moreover, whenever you reach a checkpoint, you will receive even more unique rewards in your vault.

Increases the turret’s rate of fire at the cost of reduced damage per shot.
Shells used by this version of Magnum feature a smaller explosive charge, saving a significant amount of weight. This results in a higher rate of fire, smoother recoil, faster aiming, and a much higher density of fire. The “Carronade” performs noticeably better at close range compared to the standard Magnum.
On the other hand, firing the “Carronade” at maximum range is more demanding and requires greater skill from the shooter.

Magnum IC
The frosty lineup of skins keeps growing!
The IC skin series is welcoming Magnum! This skin embodies icy power and cold-blooded precision: its shapes are forged from ice crystals, sharp edges resemble frozen armor, and the cold blue glow highlights its deadly nature. Magnum IC looks like it was created in the heart of eternal permafrost, and every shot it fires carries a piercing chill.
Magnum IC
An IC series turret embodies the harsh power of ice. Covered in a thick layer of Antarctic ice, it resembles a dangerous crystalline beast, its form seemingly carved from permafrost. Every shot resonates with merciless cold, leaving an icy trail in its wake and turning the battlefield into a frozen wasteland.
This turret is made for those ready to face the frost head-on and answer their enemies with cold fury.
How to get it
You can obtain the Magnum IC skin at the 7th and final checkpoint of the «Tanki and The Snow Trap» mini-game 2025.
This skin will be a true highlight of your collection and another bonus to your New Year’s mood.
Good luck in battles!
Tanki Online V-LOG: Episode 540
In today’s episode, we will be announcing the new mini-game. We’ll also be giving updated on Classic and wishing you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Tanki Classic mass test
We are officially launching the “Tanki Classic” mass test!
During the test, you will be able to get onto separate “Tanki Classic” test servers, if you have purchased one of the early access special offers.
How to get there?
You can get onto “Tanki Classic” only through the announcement window in the main game lobby.
Attention! There are no other ways to get onto the game. Other sites you see on the Internet are scams and are made to steal your account details. You do not need to enter your password to log into the Tanki Classic test servers. If someone asks for your password to access Tanki Classic, it is definitely a scam. Be careful.
You will only have access if you are an early access participant.
How to get Early Access?
The special Early Access offers for “Tanki Classic” were only available for a limited time. With the start of the mass testing phase, we are bringing these special offers back on sale. This is your chance to become a part of the legendary “Tanki Classic” project ahead of everyone else!
Early Access offers are available from rank 8.

What is there in the game?
This is a test version of the game. It is possible to encounter bugs, issues, unfinished features, and anomalies.
During the test, we will restart the game several times and even temporarily pause the testing process.
We will also wipe the test server database several times, which will reset all your progress.
For testing Tanki Classic, we use new server infrastructure. This may cause unstable server performance during the first weeks of testing. We will be configuring and fixing everything.
Is this early access already?
No. Early access will be announced separately, 2 weeks before the game is released. You will be able to get access to the game earlier than anybody else and progress your account earlier than others.
What is the “Development Plans” section on the Tanki Classic website?
Alongside the launch of Tanki Classic testing, we are adding a special “Development Plans” section to the project’s website. From now on, this section will be the primary, first-source of information on the development of the Tanki Classic project.
There, we will announce the key development areas of the project earlier than anywhere else.
Please note: the presented plans reflect our current goals and may be adjusted based on your feedback and voting results.
In the future, we will launch the promised polls for the game mechanics. You, the players, will define the future of “Tanki Classic!”
Feedback can be left on the forum topic of this news.
