CRK Town Square Guide — Shop, Rewards and Weekly Events

One hour in Cuckoo Town Square is worth 240 Stamina Jellies, 120 Juicy Stamina Jellies and 480 Town Square Coins before you do anything at all — on top of a shop, a Post Office and two rotating mini-events with their own payouts.

The Cuckoo Town Square hub in Cookie Run: Kingdom, the social area where players complete quests, shop with Catnip Cookie, and earn passive rewards.

Stand in Cuckoo Town Square and do nothing for an hour, and Cookie Run: Kingdom hands you 240 Stamina Jellies, 120 Juicy Stamina Jellies and 480 Town Square Coins. That is on top of a shop, a Post Office, two rotating mini-events and a currency that gates your Icing Gacha pulls.

This is what is actually in Town Square, what each system pays, and on what schedule.

What an hour in Town Square is worth

Cuckoo Town Square is the social hub added permanently in v5.7 (July 17, 2024), after a temporary trial run in v5.3 earlier that year. Players move around it with their MyCookie, chat, and interact with NPCs — but underneath the social layer are four separate reward systems: passive time rewards, a rotating shop, a Post Office, and two alternating mini-events. None of them require you to do anything skill-based; they require you to know they exist.

The passive rewards

Every 5 minutes spent in Town Square fills a progress bar. Fandom's table (last revised in May) has each tick paying 10 Stamina Jellies, 5 Juicy Stamina Jellies and 20 Town Square Coins, claimable 24 times a day. Devsisters' July 29, 2026 (v7.7) update notice then doubled the reward per 5-minute tick and kept the daily maximum the same, cutting the time to fill the bar from 2 hours to 1. On Fandom's figures, that is 20 Stamina Jellies, 10 Juicy Stamina Jellies and 40 Town Square Coins a tick. Twelve ticks (60 minutes) reach the unchanged daily cap of 240 Stamina Jellies, 120 Juicy Stamina Jellies and 480 Town Square Coins. The same update raised the Time Booster from Town Square Games from +5 to +10 minutes. cookierun.wiki's table also lists Fate Stamina Jellies, the Timeline of Fate stamina, capped at 72 a day.

Rewards accumulate whether or not you are actively doing anything, but they are not banked — whatever is sitting unclaimed resets at the daily reset, so the habit that actually pays is: open Town Square, let it run in the background for the hour it takes to fill, then claim before you log off.

The Town Square shop

Catnip Cookie, who runs the rotating shop in Cuckoo Town Square, in her overworld sprite form.

Catnip Cookie runs a shop that refreshes every 2 days and spends Town Square Coins. Fandom lists two permanent slots, with the rest rotating. Devsisters' July 29 notice also refers to the shop's Bell of Glory item slots, which cookierun.wiki prices at 3,000 coins:

Slot typeItemPriceStock
Permanent10x Radiant Beascuit Dough500 Town Square Coins3
Permanent1x random Hair Dye300 Town Square Coins1
Bell of Glory item1x random Bell of Glory item (v7.7 added Catacombs Lantern II to the pool)3,000 Town Square Coins (cookierun.wiki)1
Random rotation70x Honey Floss300 Town Square Coins1
Random rotation1x Super Epic Cookie Soulstone3,000 Town Square Coins1
Seasonal (rotates with the live event)Event tickets, Fireworks, etc.Typically 100 Town Square Coins eachTypically 10

The 3,000-coin Soulstone slot is the one worth checking every refresh: it is a source of Super Epic Cookie soulstones, which mostly cannot be farmed outside their own event gachas — our Cookie rarity guide covers why that tier is time-gated. If the featured Super Epic is already at max promotion, the wiki notes the slot is replaced by a Soulcore instead.

One inconsistency worth flagging rather than smoothing over: the wiki's own summary line says the shop carries "6 items" with "3 items from the random stock," but its published shop table lists only 2 random-stock columns alongside the 2 permanent and up to 4 seasonal ones. Take the table, not the summary sentence, as the more reliable count — but don't be surprised if a third random slot shows up that the table doesn't yet document.

The Post Office: three free rolls a day

Mailtriever Pups scattered around the square offer a choice of 1 of 3 random rewards every 2 hours, starting at 00:00 GMT+9. Each window now stays open for 1 hour: Fandom's table says 20 minutes, but per Devsisters' notices v7.5 (June 4, 2026) raised it to 30 minutes and v7.8 (August 26, 2026) to an hour. You can only claim from a Mailtriever Pup up to three times per day — so it is a "check in a few times," not an "always available," system — and since v7.8 a Town Square button shows how many claims you have used. All active pups in a given hour offer the same three options.

The reward pool is wide, and skews toward Ascension and Beascuit materials:

Reward categoryExamples
Premium currency300 Crystals, 100 Rainbow Cubes
Progression tickets2 Special Cookie Cutters, 2 Treasure Tickets, 10 Radiant Shards
Upgrade materials1 Legendary Soul Essence, 3 Epic Soul Essence, 10 Sugar Crystals (any of the 4 types), 10 Skill Powder
Beascuits1 Epic or 1 Legendary Beascuit, any of the 8 combat roles
Misc.50 Beascuit Dough, 50 Bites, 3 Aurora materials, 3x 10-min Speed Up, 20 Topping Pieces

The weekly mini-event schedule

A rotating mini-event runs on a fixed weekly pattern (all times GMT+9). It requires cooperation with whoever else is in your current channel, but rewards can only be collected once per player per day.

DaysActive event(s)Windows
Monday, Wednesday, FridayCheese Vault onlySix 2-hour windows starting 02:00, 06:00, 10:00, 14:00, 18:00, 22:00

Saturday, SundayBoth, alternatingCheese Vault at 01:00, 07:00, 13:00, 19:00; Cleanup at 04:00, 10:00, 16:00, 22:00 (1-hour gaps between)

Cheese Vault and Town Square Cleanup

Cheese Vault: a vault and a purple envelope spawn at random spots in the square. Interacting with the envelope reveals one digit of a 4-digit passcode; players need to gather the full code from multiple envelopes and enter it at the vault for a random reward. You get three tries to enter the code correctly — burn all three and you wait for the next window.

Town Square Cleanup: a large bush spawns somewhere in the square. Sweeping it as a group clears it — solo, it takes about 4 minutes; more players sweeping together clears it faster. Once cleared, it drops a chest with a random reward for every participant, and players who join the channel after the bush is already down can still claim.

Lost and Found is your Icing Gacha currency

Lost & Found runs passively, independent of the Cheese Vault / Cleanup schedule above. Items appear lost around the square; bring one back to the Lost-and-Found Closet and you get 50 Choco Chalk for your first return of the day. Beyond that, up to 10 total items can be turned in daily for 10 Town Square Coins each, and hitting cumulative turn-in milestones can award a random Soulstone on top.

Choco Chalk is the currency the Icing Gacha runs on, and Town Square's Lost & Found is one of its two primary sources — the other being mining Sweet Power Gem ore veins in Into the Depths — so skipping this mini-event isn't just a missed 50 Choco Chalk, it's passing up one of the currency's two main taps (events hand out some too).

The Bell of Glory

At the Lion Fountain in the south of the square sits the Bell of Glory. Any player can ring it with a Bell of Glory item to start a 5-hour buff that players in that channel can claim — visible in the Burning Time window from both Town Square and the Kingdom. After each ring the bell goes on standby, which Devsisters' August 26 (v7.8) notice cut from 20 seconds to 10 (Fandom's pre-patch page says 30 seconds, cookierun.wiki 15). Bell of Glory items come from hitting hard requirements in other modes — top ranks and rare high-difficulty drops in past Beast Raid seasons, plus Cookie Alliance and Kingdom Arena — and both wikis note that reclaimed versions of some items turn up in Catnip Cookie's shop, which has its own Bell of Glory item slots. Beast Raid itself is dormant: its last content was Raid: Unfathomable (v7.1, from February 11, 2026), no Beast Raid season has run since, and Devsisters' June–October 2026 notices announce no return. The Beast Raid rows below record where those items came from, not a mode you can play for them today. A few examples:

ItemEffectHow it is (or was) obtained
Whole Horn of RuinBeast-Yeast / World Exploration Beascuit rewards +100%Top 200 in Beast Raid: Avatar of Ruin, Oct–Nov 2024 (Fandom's Town Square table says Top 500, but both wikis' season pages list Top 200 as that season's highest bracket)
Crystal Ball of LiesTopping rewards in Crispia / World Exploration +100%Top 500 in Beast Raid: Two-Faced Lies, Jan–Mar 2025
Guardian's SwordBeast-Yeast / World Exploration Bites rewards +30%Rare drop at Hero difficulty in Cookie Alliance
Victor's TokenBeast-Yeast / World Exploration Beascuit Dough +30%Grandmaster 2 or higher in Kingdom Arena

There is also a Platinum Bell of Glory, introduced in v6.5, whose buff every player can claim rather than only those in the ringer's channel. Its ring cooldown was cut from 5 minutes to 15 seconds in v6.11 (claim duration is unchanged at 5 minutes), and its buffs last 5 or 12 hours depending on the item. Platinum items came mostly from Beast Raid seasons, as top-500 ranking rewards and rare Challenge-difficulty drops. Since Beast Raid went quiet, the separate Chaos Dragon Raid (v7.5) and Rajapendra Raid (v7.9) events have each put a Platinum Bell item in their top-1% season rewards.

What v7.8 changed that the wiki has not caught up on

Cookie Run: Kingdom's v7.8 patch (Time Breakers: Fatal Fixers, August 26, 2026) lists "Town Square improvements" among its new mechanics, and Devsisters' v7.7 notice (July 29) has a Town Square section as well. Fandom's dedicated Cuckoo Town Square article, however, was last revised May 28, 2026, before either patch, and its Changelog section still stops at v5.13 from December 2024. cookierun.wiki's copy was edited in September but still shows the old per-tick rewards and the 20-minute Post Office window. Devsisters' own update notices spell out what changed:

UpdateTown Square change (Devsisters' update notice)
v7.5 — June 4, 2026Post Office claim window raised from 20 to 30 minutes
v7.7 — July 29, 2026Time rewards per 5-minute tick doubled with the daily maximum unchanged, so the bar fills in 1 hour instead of 2; the Time Booster from Town Square Games went from +5 to +10 minutes; Catacombs Lantern II joined the shop's Bell of Glory item slots
v7.8 — August 26, 2026Post Office claim window raised from 30 minutes to 1 hour, plus a button that shows your claim count; Bell of Glory standby cut from 20 to 10 seconds; the Lion Fountain links to the Town Square Shop if you own no Bell item; an icon in the square lists active Bell buffs; Platinum Bell rings are announced in Global Messages; a Town Square Guide was added; the Town Square Arcade now runs in five sessions covering the whole day

The passive-reward timer, Post Office window and Bell standby above follow those notices. Unless a line names another source, the other timers, rewards and prices in this guide are what Fandom's Town Square article documents as of that May 28 revision. Treat them as a baseline rather than today's exact state, and check the in-game patch notes if a specific amount looks off.

Quick Action Checklist

  1. Open Town Square and let the passive timer run. Since the July 29 update, one hour gets you the full 240 Stamina Jellies, 120 Juicy Stamina Jellies and 480 Town Square Coins — claim before daily reset, because it does not bank.
  2. Check Catnip Cookie's shop every 2 days. The 3,000-coin Soulstone slot is your best shot at Super Epic soulstones outside their own event gacha.
  3. Catch at least one Post Office window a day. Three claims are available; a window opens every 2 hours from 00:00 GMT+9 and, since v7.8, stays open for an hour.
  4. Do the daily mini-event on your channel — Cheese Vault on Mon/Wed/Fri, Town Square Cleanup on Tue/Thu, both on weekends.
  5. Turn in one Lost & Found item every day, minimum. It's one of the two main Choco Chalk sources for the Icing Gacha, and costs nothing to grab.
  6. Ring the Bell of Glory if you have an item queued — the buff applies to your whole channel, not just you, so use it when others are around to benefit too.
  7. Don't take the Fandom-sourced numbers as gospel. That page predates the v7.5, v7.7 and v7.8 Town Square changes; the timer, Post Office and Bell figures here follow Devsisters' notices instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cuckoo Town Square in Cookie Run: Kingdom?
Cuckoo Town Square is Cookie Run: Kingdom's social hub, added permanently in v5.7 (July 17, 2024) after a temporary trial in v5.3. Players walk around as their MyCookie, chat with other players, and interact with NPCs, while also earning passive rewards, shopping at Catnip Cookie's rotating shop, collecting from a Post Office, and taking part in rotating mini-events.
How do you get Town Square Coins in Cookie Run: Kingdom?
Town Square Coins are earned passively just by staying in Cuckoo Town Square. Since the July 29, 2026 (v7.7) update each 5-minute tick pays double the old 20 Coins, so the unchanged daily maximum of 480 Coins is reached in 1 hour instead of 2. They are also awarded for completing daily Town Square quests and for turning in extra items during the Lost & Found mini-event. Town Square Coins are spent at Catnip Cookie's shop, which refreshes every 2 days.
What is the Cheese Vault in Cuckoo Town Square?
Cheese Vault is a Cookie Run: Kingdom Town Square mini-event that spawns a vault and a purple passcode envelope at random locations. Players interact with envelopes to reveal digits of a 4-digit code, then enter it at the vault for a random reward, with three attempts allowed before the next window. It runs on Monday, Wednesday and Friday in six 2-hour windows, plus four 2-hour windows on Saturday and Sunday, all in GMT+9.
What is Town Square Cleanup in Cookie Run: Kingdom?
Town Square Cleanup is a Cookie Run: Kingdom mini-event where a large bush spawns randomly in Cuckoo Town Square. Players sweep it together to clear it — about 4 minutes solo, faster with more participants — which reveals a chest granting a random reward to every player in the channel, including those who arrive after it is cleared. It runs Tuesday and Thursday in six 2-hour windows, plus four windows on Saturday and Sunday.
What does Lost and Found give in Cuckoo Town Square?
Lost & Found in Cookie Run: Kingdom's Cuckoo Town Square rewards 50 Choco Chalk for the first item returned each day, then 10 Town Square Coins for each additional item up to 10 total, with cumulative turn-ins able to award a random Soulstone. Choco Chalk is the currency spent on the Icing Gacha for MyCookie cosmetics, and Lost & Found is one of only two primary sources for it (the other being Into the Depths mining), making this a cheap mini-event to do and a costly one to skip.
What is the Bell of Glory in Cookie Run: Kingdom?
The Bell of Glory sits at the Lion Fountain in Cuckoo Town Square. Any player can ring it with a Bell of Glory item to grant a 5-hour buff that players in that Town Square channel can claim, visible in the Burning Time window; since the v7.8 update (August 26, 2026) the bell's standby between rings is 10 seconds, down from 20. Bell of Glory items come from hard requirements in other modes: Cookie Alliance and Kingdom Arena ranks and drops, past Beast Raid seasons (Beast Raid has not run since Raid: Unfathomable, which opened in February 2026), and, for Platinum items, the top-1% rewards of the newer Chaos Dragon and Rajapendra Raids. They grant effects like +100% Beascuit rewards or +30% Bites rewards. A separate Platinum Bell of Glory, added in v6.5, is claimable by every player and had its ring cooldown cut from 5 minutes to 15 seconds in v6.11.
How often does Catnip Cookie’s Town Square Shop refresh in Cookie Run: Kingdom?
Catnip Cookie's Town Square Shop refreshes every 2 days. It always carries 2 permanent items (10x Radiant Beascuit Dough for 500 Town Square Coins, and a random Hair Dye for 300), current seasonal items tied to whatever event is live, a Bell of Glory item slot, and rotating random-stock items that have included 70x Honey Floss and a Super Epic Cookie Soulstone for 3,000 Town Square Coins — the shop's main source of Super Epic Cookie soulstones outside their own event gacha.
How many rewards can you claim from the Post Office in Cookie Run: Kingdom?
Cuckoo Town Square's Post Office, run by Mailtriever Pups, offers a choice of 1 of 3 random rewards every 2 hours starting at 00:00 GMT+9, with each window open for 1 hour since the v7.8 update (August 26, 2026), up from 20 minutes before v7.5 and 30 minutes before v7.8. Players can claim from a Mailtriever Pup up to 3 times per day. The reward pool includes Crystals, Rainbow Cubes, Soul Essence, Sugar Crystals, Skill Powder, Beascuit Dough, Bites, and Epic or Legendary Beascuits.
