Maintenance banner behavior
When maintenance is announced, a global in-game banner appears with the current status.
- Notice mode: informational update only, normal play continues.
- Maintenance pause mode: actions that change game state can be temporarily unavailable until service is fully restored.
Always check the latest maintenance message first if something seems unavailable.
Incident timing and live updates
When incidents are active, timing is shown in your game view so you can react quickly.
Tips:
- Use Local Zoo Time in the game header as your source of truth.
- If you prefer AM/PM style, change your clock format in Settings.
- Incident windows are real-time, so delayed responses can carry ongoing penalties.
Tips for players
- Check Upcoming to plan around bonus windows.
- Check Active before spending resources.
- If something changes unexpectedly, look for maintenance/outage notices first.
