April Event
The April Event is a seasonal event occurring in early April each year, which adds temporary changes to the game which are fun and slightly silly but may not be as balanced as regular gameplay.

Gazebogotchi
During the April Event, dwarves will spawn with a Gazebogotchi in their Strongbox. Clicking the the Gazebogotchi will add a new set of items to the player's crafting grid in their inventory. Players take care of their Gazebogotchi by feeding it cake as a dwarf or sating its bloodlust as a monster, and interacting with it to keep it happy. Gazebogotchis which survive an entire game will increase the player's progress toward the Gazebogotchi Guardian Quest.
Challenge Mode
During the April Event, dwarves spawn with both a special wrench and potion in their Strongbox.
Using the wrench after being armored will replace the dwarf's helmet, leggings and boots with weaker iron armor. Challenge armor consumes less gold when repairing, and the wrench can be used again to restore regular dwarven armor. Kills gained while wearing the weaker armor count towards the Dress to Distress Quest if it is active.
Using the potion will halve the dwarf's maximum mana. Using it again, like the wrench, will restore the dwarf to their previous maximum mana. Kills gained while using the reduced mana cap will count toward the Halved Heartrate Havoc Quest if it is active.
Heroes are unable to use both challenge mode armor and challenge mode mana.
SuperHorse
- Main article: SuperHorse
During the April Event SuperHorse is guaranteed to spawn in every game (unless it is Rush Mode), regardless of size. He also does not impede the spawning of other heroes.
Death Replies
During the April Event, players will have a new option in their player menus to enable a feature called Death Replies. Enabling this feature will cause dwarves to automatically send a message "explaining" their death the instant they die.
Distraction Creepers
To complement the existing damage and destruction creeper paths, Distraction Creepers can confuse and bewilder dwarves. Distraction creepers are able to hide in the undergrowth and make strange noises to lure dwarves into danger, leaving the shrines undefended from monster attacks. Any creeper can use this ability by right-clicking their explosion, regardless of upgrade path.
