Is there a repeating pattern?
I used to think it was just the 2nd boat that arrived on a Monday after it had switched to a new event day (usually 8 or 9 am for me depending on daylight savings)
Then I got impatient one week and called the boats early and 2 in row after the Monday switch over BOTH had no puzzle piece
But then I realised if I waited I think it was an extra hour or so past the Monday morning switch over THEN sent the current boat away the next did have a puzzle piece despite being the 1st boat to arrive after that Monday switch.
Anyone know a set in stone answer?
Also there is usually 2 puzzle boats a week (not including events) is there a pattern for the second?
Does it have to be after a certain day or time or is it a certain number of boats in between?
I should have paid better attention to date 😆

To be honest, I don’t know. We used to have two per week. And an additional one if it’s the first day of a new month. I haven’t seen any puzzelboat yet this week. Already had two normal ones at the Dock.
3rd boat has a puzzle piece for me. I believe that I already had a boat at the dock, so what Kat is writing sounds plausible.

First of all, during a 24 hour period there are 2 significant moments where several things happen in the game. The first (A) is midnight UTC. This is the start of a new day in Hay Day and when Greg’s stock changes and the daily EM limit resets etc. But that time isn’t really important for this question / topic.
The second (B) (I don’t know the UTC time off the top of my head) is the time of day when the events start, derby begins, WoF arrives etc.
So for the Monday puzzle piece to arrive you first must send away a boat after time slot B on Monday. Now here’s the tricky bit. If the previous boat already arrived before time B its possible you need to wait another boat for the puzzle piece to show up.
As for the timing of the second piece I’m not sure because I never paid much attention to it.

This week I had a boat sat in dock I'd not filled
I sent it away around an hour after the new billboard event started
The next boat (first new after event switch-over) had a puzzle piece
I filled that one and let the next arrive naturally (did not have a puzzle piece)
Sent that one away unfilled just now (about 9 hours after event switch over) and the next boat has a puzzle piece
This tells me.....nothing, I still haven't a clue if there is even a pattern to find 🤣😂

I am sure when the boats arrive depends on the time zone we are in. For me, pacific time, I get two puzzle boats every Monday. The first boat that comes in when I open the game Monday morning has a puzzle piece, then I get one or two dud boats without a puzzle piece in between then the second puzzle boat follows the dud(s).
