Contest of Mayors HQ Screen.
The Contest of Mayors (often abbreviated COM or CoM) is an online feature where you compete against 99 other mayors randomly selected around your level to gain plumbob points to win prizes. Contest of Mayors is unlocked at Level 11. You open the Contest of Mayors screen by clicking the Contest of Mayors tower. You can gain plumbob points by completing tasks. Usually, these tasks can vary from 540-6000 plumbob points with varying levels of difficulty. The exception is during the last week of the Mayor's Pass when plumbobs are doubled. Each contest lasts for 5 days with a 2 day break. After the 5 days you will be rewarded depending on what place you finished in your respective league.
Leagues[]
There are 6 leagues in Contest of Mayors with each one having better prizes than the last. Each league also has more tasks than the last allowing you to score more plumbob points.

Tasks[]
Tasks are how you earn Plumbob points. Each league has a set amount of tasks you can do depending on the league. Tasks will range between 560-3,600 plumbob points with varying levels of difficulty unless it's the last week of the Mayor's Pass, in which case, points will be doubled. Each task, except milestones, also has a timer that you must complete the task by or you fail. Sometimes when you run out of time, you'll be given the option to watch an ad in order to add more time to the task. The "Extend Assignment" feature was added near the end of 2023. If you do not like a task you can start it and then cancel it to have a new task replace it after 20 minutes. This can be sped up by SimCash or watching an ad. This will use up 1 of your tasks. See this page for a complete list on all possible tasks.
| Leagues | Tasks |
|---|---|
| Neighborhood League | 30 |
| Suburban League | 35 |
| Town League | 40 |
| City League | 45 |
| Metropolis League | 50 |
| Megalopolis League | 60 |
Assignment Streaks[]
Assignment Streaks were added to Contest of Mayors in update 1.38.0. You must complete specific tasks in a row to gain bonus plumbob points. The amount of streaks, bonus points, and number of tasks required differ between leagues. In Neighborhood League there are no streaks. See the table below for more information. After starting a streak you have 24 hours to complete it. If you cancel the task or run out of time you will lose that task and that streak. If you fail a streak you must wait 5 minutes before starting a new one. You will not be able to see the next task in a streak until you complete the task before it. Once completing all the tasks you can claim your bonus points and instantly have the option to start the next streak. Once all your streaks are used up you must wait until the next Contest Week to have more. This feature was replaced by Milestones.
| League | Number of Streaks | Number of tasks per Streak | Bonus Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neighborhood League | NA | NA | NA |
| Suburban League | 1 | 3 | 3,000 |
| Town League | 2 | 3 | 4,000 |
| City League | 3 | 3 | 5,000 |
| Metropolis League | 5 | 3 | 6,000 |

Milestones[]
Milestone Assignments.
Milestone Assignments were introduced in the 1.43.1 update during the New York season in 2022. They replaced Assignment Streaks. Milestone Assignments can be played while a Contest or Mayor's Pass is active. Unlike regular assignments, Milestone Assignments are always active during an active Contest or Mayor's Pass and, therefore, does not need to be manually started. They are split into three stages that you complete in order. Completing a stage gives you the indicated reward and each stage is more challenging and rewarding than the one before it. Completing the final stage gives you a new Milestone Assignment if you have Assignments remaining, or you can re-roll ones you do not like. Re-rolling costs 5 SimCash and you lose any progress made in the current stage. Milestone Assignments are reset at the start of each Contest and you receive a random selection of new ones based on your progression in the game. See this page for a complete list on all possible tasks.
Golden Tickets[]
A Golden Ticket.
Golden Tickets are used to add tasks after you run out of your given ones. They can be earned by leveling up your Contest Rank, Mayor's Pass, or the Club Challenge. You can use a max of 15 after you run out of tasks. They are very useful in Megalopolis league to have a better chance of winning the Grand Prize.
