1. Tap on the Learn More button in the shop.
2. Tap on the Purchase button.
3. You will then receive a pop-up indicating that you have received a ticket for A Colossal Discovery. Once you click OK, the ticket will appear in your Item Bag.

Once you receive the Special Research on November 2, you will be able to finish it at a later time if you don’t complete it by the end of the event.
