ARK Turkey Trials 2024 Guide: Dates, Rates, Colors, and Rewards

ARK: Survival Evolved's last Turkey Trials event happened in 2022, but the Thanksgiving tradition continued for players who moved to ARK: Survival Ascended. The 2024 event brings back seasonal chaos, boosted rates, and the kind of turkey that makes regular holiday cooking look relaxing.

ARK Turkey Trials 2024 Dates

According to Community Crunch 435, ARK Turkey Trials 2024 runs from November 26 to December 10.

That gives the event a 14-day window, which is longer than the previous year's 10-day version.
