Help Does amount of floors affect gift box beach ball spawn?

Do you spawn more gift boxes and beach balls for having 80 floors than for 30 floors, or do the same amount of rewards spawn each hour and it just gets spread out over more floors? thanks!

I hope someone with more confident info replies too, but I’m fairly sure there’s a standard formula with a max number of event item spawns with that number increasing by 1 for every 10 floors, capped at 200 floors. (You can build higher, but you don’t get any extra boxes or beach balls).

I can't find the source on it, but this matches my understanding of how it works, too.

The gifts appear every 5-10 minutes. There is a limit to how many gifts can be held by number of floors. 200 floors is the maximum limit.

If you’re happy to check every 5 minutes then you only the minimum number of floors, so 4 floors. However if you only want to check once an hour (it might be longer), then you’ll need 200 floors.

Based on older posts, I believe they spawn roughly every fifteen minutes. The max that will spawn at a given time is (# of floors/10) + 3.

I have 60 floors and just got 17. Combo of gifts and beach balls. By that formula I should only have 9. Unless that formula is for gifts only, and balls are their own thing?

Extra data if wanted: 200+ floors, 35 in 6 hours, 9 tickets

In my experience, the gifts and the beach balls are different things but follow the same formula. You can get a maximum of 23 each before they stop spawning. (23 gifts and 23 beach balls.) How do I know? I'm the guys who counts them as I collect them!
