If you are trying to get Tokens in Supermarket Together, you may have seen different answers online. Some players say you need a DLC, while others mention the Event Cage or the Snowman Boss.
But for your information, Tokens are event rewards, and you can’t get them from regular gameplay. In this guide, I clear up the myths about STAR tokens in Supermarket Together and share a couple of ways to get them.
How Do You Get Tokens?
You can get tokens by participating in the game’s special events.
The exact way to earn them depends on the event that is currently running. For example, during the animal event, you could use the Event Cage to catch animals and exchange them for Tokens.
During the Christmas event, Tokens were collected from the Snowman Boss.
So, there is no single permanent method for farming Tokens.
Animal Event: Use the Event Cage
During the animal event, you could buy the Event Cage from the build menu. It has a green paw icon, so it is easy to spot.
After placing the cage, animals would appear in your supermarket. You could then use the net provided by the event to catch them.
Once you caught an animal, you had to place it in the Event Cage. Completing the event activities would reward you with Tokens.
However, this method only works when that event is active.
Christmas Event: Defeat the Snowman Boss
The Christmas event used a different system.
You had to place a Christmas Present in your store and wait until night. This could summon the Snowman Boss.
Defeating the Snowman Boss rewarded you with Star Tokens.
This was a Christmas event method, so you cannot use it as a normal way to get Tokens after the event ends.
Are Tokens From DLC?
No.
Tokens and the event rewards are not DLC-exclusive. You don’t need to buy DLC just to use these rewards.
Players using the free version of Supermarket Together can also get the event rewards when the required event is available.
Can You Get Tokens When No Event Is Active?
Usually, no.
If there is currently no event running, you won’t be able to use the Event Cage or other event-specific methods to farm Tokens.
You may see old guides or comments telling you to use a particular event item, but keep in mind that those methods were tied to specific events.
The developers can bring events back or introduce new ones, so check for the next event if you missed one.
What About Changing Your PC Date?
Some players have suggested changing the PC’s date and time to make an old event appear again.
There is no need to rely on this as a confirmed method. The discussion only suggests trying it and does not confirm that it works.
So, if an event has ended, the safe answer is to wait for the next event or its return rather than using the date-changing trick.
