It's called "Business Day". An April Fools joke, which on leap years runs from 3/29 through 4/2.

WHY IS EASTER SEASON OVER WHEN IT ISN"T EASTER YET????

It really figures that they 'd replace a major religious day with money. Definite American game. Checks out.

Out of curiosity, what days does it run from when it's not a leap year

Starts one day later, at 30th, still ends on 2nd.

I was confused too when I opened up the game today. Messed with my head for a second! Still one of the best idle games out there.

I don't understand why Leap year has to mess up Easter in the game? I thought Business Day was always supposed to be April 1st as an Aprils fools day joke for 1 day. So why does Leap year have to make it NOT happen on April 1st?

It would be on march 30th on non-leap day. It never starts on 1st.

This isn't anything new. The 30th of March (29th on a leap year) through the 2nd of April is always Business Day.

The problem is that Easter moves around. It's always on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox. This year that happened to put it at the end of March. Next year it will be April 20th. Nobody is replacing anything, the programming just followed what it always does.

My question is why am I still seeing business day theme a week later and my stats page still shows BD as being active. How to go back to the default theme? I have tried doing a couple of the other events and it always returns to BD once those events end.
