So, you’re wondering if you can jump into the Clan Games action after they’ve already kicked off? The short answer is: yes, you can join Clan Games after they start, but with a few important caveats. You can join a clan mid-Clan Games, and participate, but you will not be able to earn rewards unless you complete at least one challenge. Let’s break down everything you need to know to make the most of this monthly event.
Understanding Clan Games Participation
Clan Games are a recurring event in Clash of Clans that challenges Clans to work together to earn points by completing individual challenges. As a Clan accumulates points, they unlock tiers of rewards that all participating members can claim. It’s a fantastic way to boost your resources, grab valuable magic items, and strengthen your base. But what if you’re late to the party?
Joining a Clan Mid-Games
Joining a Clan mid-Clan Games is perfectly acceptable, and encouraged! As long as the Clan Games are still active, you can join a Clan, select a challenge, and start contributing points. The key is to ensure you complete at least one challenge. Without completing a single challenge, you won’t be eligible for any rewards, regardless of how many points the Clan earns. So, get in there, pick a challenge that suits your play style, and start clashing!
Leaving a Clan During Clan Games
Now, here’s where things get a little trickier. Once you’ve selected a challenge in a specific Clan during Clan Games, your commitment is locked in for the duration of that event. If you leave the Clan after starting a challenge, you cannot participate in Clan Games for another Clan until the current Games have ended. You’re essentially tied to the original Clan for Clan Games purposes.
However, there is an advantage. If you leave that clan, and rejoin, then you are eligible for the rewards. To make sure you get rewards, then complete at least one challenge.
Claiming Rewards After Leaving
Even if you leave the Clan where you completed your Clan Games challenges, you can still claim your rewards at the end of the event. The game remembers your participation and will allow you to collect the rewards from the Clan in which you completed at least one challenge.
It’s important to note that you have a limited time to claim those rewards. Unclaimed rewards disappear after 7 days, so be sure to log back in and grab your loot!
Clan Games Strategies
The best time to join a clan during Clan Games depends on your goals. If you’re aiming for max resource rewards, opening the Caravan in a level 10 or higher Clan gives you maximum resource potential. You can open the Caravan in a level 10+ clan, then complete the clan games challenges in a lower level clan, and still receive the max resource rewards.
Key Takeaways

- Once you start a challenge, you’re committed to that Clan for the duration of the Games.
