How big does your guild need to be for the best Treasure Hunt chests? How many maps does it take, and what's inside? Plus everything else about running a guild, and the community rules for guild names.

The 7.0 Wild Garden became more work for less reward. Here's what we got wrong, what 7.1 fixes right away (a doubled basket, better visitor pay, shiny visitors), and where Wild Garden: New Leaf takes the garden in Season 8.

Why did so many relics get hit, why was Pepper touched so lightly, and why did Ronan get nerfed? Balance designer Beweeted walks through the reasoning behind the biggest 7.0 changes.

Deep in the woods, something glows between the roots. Season 7 takes Backpack Brawl beneath the forest floor, where nothing that falls is ever wasted. Mycella the Voice of the Undergrowth, the new Fungus item type, three new Events, the Haunted Harvest, relic locking, and a Wild Garden grown wilder than ever.

The crowd roars and the arena awaits! Season 6 takes Backpack Brawl underground, into the fighting pits where legends are made. Skara the Kobold Pit Fighter, rule-breaking Special Shops, Inventory Skins, Legendary hero skins, and a revamped Season Pass with Capstone rewards.

The desert whispers, fate shifts in the sand, and a mysterious Djinn arrives bearing gifts that come at a price. Zahir, Genies of the Lamp, shareable replays, a friendlier Season Pass, and a slate of overdue reworks.

Spring is in the air! Season 4 brings Fern the forest dryad, the Blooming mechanic, the Wild Garden idle mode, Mystery Eggs, rebalanced events, and a cosmetics price rework.

A new hero approaches! Kragg the Snapping Monk arrives mid-season, alongside the Voidflare skin for Celeste, big wildcard cap increases, simplified Heists, and performance improvements.

Season 3 is centered around Celeste and Friends — a full Celeste rework with a devilkin redesign, the new Friends and Recruiting systems, Bonus Rounds, and a Valentine's event.

The holiday season is coming to Backpack Brawl, and the Hob Gang is planning the heist of the century! A split rank system, win streaks, the first seasonal leaderboard, an Advent Calendar, and mystery Presents.

Seasons come to Backpack Brawl! A 50-day Harvest Festival with the new Season Pass, Pepper the Purrisian Chef, seasonal Boons, weekly challenges, and a big ranked overhaul.
