What explore level were you on? There are existing bug reports of the same thing when trying to do explore above 12, since that’s not supposed to exist yet. Just checking if this is the same cause for this issue.

I played up to level 16 last night. The 2 towns were I played above 12 no longer allow access to explore. Further, when I get a mimic in any town I can not play that battle in it. This is on the PC account I play via iPhone.
Also, I really think we should get at least 3-4 medals for level 16, keeping everything at 2-3 is, I don’t know the right word, irritating? Cheap?

I have not played anything above explore 12 at any point. Nothing above 12 has been available to me.

Yes I’m having the same issue! Every time I come across a mimic the game crashes!

Issues with explore has already been reported in another thread.
Also, playing anything above lvl 12 is broken as that is unreleased content.

**Platform, device version and operating system:
PC / Android**
**Screenshot or image:**
A screenshot won’t help; it only shows the normal mimic battle.
**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened
How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**
Every time a mate encounter a MIMIC battle, he can tap on it, but nothing happens—the kingdom becomes blocked, and he can no longer undertake any explorations there. This has already happened in several different kingdoms. Restart game don’t help.
**Steps to make it happen again**
Presumably, this issue could escalate to the point where all kingdoms become unplayable whenever a Mimic battle appears.

> - These are all linked to 9.3 data going out and just awaiting a server fix. If you have played beyond level 12 (which has always been the highest level) there is a chance some rewards that are only available above lvl 12 could be removed from your account, such as Mythic shards
> - A fix has been released (noon 26/05)
cross sharing - if the game is open you will need to close and reopen it
