Changing a phone’s date seems like an easy way to make a daily challenge refresh. In Super Bear Adventure, however, that shortcut has an unusually clear warning in the developer’s own update history. Earthkwak Games recorded a fix for missions becoming unplayable after a system-date change intended to cheat the mission timer.
The fix appeared in version 13.0.5, dated September 17, 2026. That is a much more useful starting point than random advice to keep moving the clock forward. If your missions are behaving strangely, the goal should be to restore normal timekeeping and identify the affected feature—not to experiment with more aggressive date changes.
Highlights
- The official 13.0.5 changelog names a mission issue caused by system-date tampering.
- The patch says the problem was fixed; it does not disclose an exact daily reset hour or timer algorithm.
- Return the device to automatic date, time and time-zone settings before further testing.
- Check the installed game version and document the exact mission message.
- Avoid deleting saves or repeatedly shifting the clock to force a reward.
Quick answer: Earthkwak patched a bug in 13.0.5 that made missions unplayable when players changed their device date to cheat the timer. Use normal automatic time settings and an updated version rather than repeating the exploit.

What happened in update 13.0.5
The relevant patch entry is unusually specific. Earthkwak said it fixed missions becoming unplayable if the system’s date was tampered with to cheat the mission timer. That sentence confirms both a problem and a fix. It does not establish the internal mechanism that caused the failure, and it does not tell readers that simply moving the clock forward still provides a safe shortcut.
The same update included unrelated mission and collision repairs, but the date entry stands on its own. If you see older videos that encourage calendar changes, compare their recording date with the September 2026 patch. A tutorial made before the fix may describe a behavior that is no longer reliable.
First check the phone, not the game save
Open your device’s date and time settings. If you have been changing them manually, restore automatic time and automatic time zone where available. Verify that the displayed date agrees with your local date. Then fully close the game and reopen it normally. This is a conservative troubleshooting step, not a guaranteed repair for every possible mission error.
Be careful with a device that has been intentionally set far into the future. Online services, app stores and certificates can behave oddly when system time is inaccurate. Return to an ordinary, stable setting instead of running a sequence of forward-and-backward jumps.
Find the difference between an unavailable mission and a timer
A mission may be unavailable because it is locked, because a timer is still running, because the game is loading incorrectly or because an old version has a bug. These situations can look similar from the player’s point of view. Write down the exact on-screen text and whether the issue affects every mission or only one.
If an ordinary level still works, focus your investigation on the mission interface. If the whole game is unstable, treat that as a broader technical issue. A screenshot of the message and the game version will help much more than a vague report that “the timer is broken.”
Check the version before relying on an old tutorial
Earthkwak’s official news page lists 13.0.5 on September 17, 2026 and later fixes within the 13.0 release line. Version numbers matter because video guides often circulate for months after their advice stops working. When checking your app, use the version shown in the game or store, not the year printed in a search result headline.
If you have not updated for a long time, review the official changelog and consider updating from the normal store. Protect your save first and avoid third-party APK sites claiming to include “unlimited daily missions.” The official notes do not endorse those packages.
Why there is no trustworthy universal reset-time claim
Players often want an exact number: midnight, twelve hours or a particular UTC offset. The changelog confirms the existence of a mission timer, but the entry cited here does not publish a global reset schedule. Declaring one for all platforms and regions would be guessing. It is better to read what your installed version actually displays.
Time zones also make screenshots misleading. A player recording in France may see a different calendar time from someone in Indonesia. A screenshot from a video cannot establish the universal server reset for every region. Use the in-game mission status as the practical reference point.
What to include in a useful bug report
If the issue survives a restart, gather the game version, device platform, operating-system version, whether automatic time is enabled and the steps that lead to the problem. Note whether you changed the phone date previously and whether the failure began immediately afterward. None of this requires exposing account passwords or private information.
Send the details through the developer’s official support channel or store contact information. Do not post an entire save file publicly simply because a stranger asks to inspect it. Clear reproduction steps give the developer a better chance of identifying a genuine remaining bug.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can changing my phone date unlock missions faster?
That is not a reliable recommended method. The developer patched a mission-breaking problem linked to date tampering.
Which update mentioned this bug?
Version 13.0.5, dated September 17, 2026, in Earthkwak Games’ changelog.
What is the exact daily reset time?
The cited changelog does not disclose a universal reset hour, so check your game’s own mission display.
Should I reinstall if a mission is locked?
Not as a first response. Check time settings, version and the precise error before taking any action that may risk progress.
Is this the same as a missing pirate ship in missions?
No. The same patch also removed the pirate ship from missions, but that was a separate change.
Final Thoughts
The safe answer is less glamorous than the cheat videos: keep the clock accurate and let the game handle its own missions. Version 13.0.5 was designed to prevent a date-related failure. If missions still misbehave, record the symptoms and investigate the current version rather than creating another time mismatch.
