Chests
Reward boxes holding cards, gold and gems.
Chests are the reward containers of Clash Royale, holding Gold, Gems, Cards and Wild Cards. They come from the free shop offers, Trophy Road, Ranked and Pass Royale rewards, Global Tournaments, Clan Wars or purchases with Gems, and they contain cards from the player's current Arena or lower, except Legendary Chests, which can hold a card from any Arena.
Background
At launch, chests had to sit on a timer of several hours before opening unless the player paid to skip it, a key part of the game's monetisation that also limited session length. Supercell removed chest timers in April 2025 in favour of lucky-drop style rewards. Types include Wooden, Silver, Golden, Magical, Giant and Legendary Chests and Gold Crates.
