My personal and short experience is as follows on Anomalies and Event Location.

First the Anomaly will only show if the Location is Text mode, so if it is in Night Mode, Similar Object ... etc ... Play util you leave in text mode ...

Then play other locations and it wil eventually show up ... For the Ballet Academy it took forever for Illusions to show up ... But the I realize that I had another location I did not visit that had the Illusion anomaly so I played it and HO and BEHOLD a few plays on other locations and it showed up...

I confirmed my "superstition"  with Palace of Wishes which asked for Electrum ... Cleared all other location with Electrum, left it it Text mode and it showed afte a couple visit to other locartions.

Now I did *almost* the same with Airship Dock ... Cleared all other ( there were 2 or 3) with Distorsion ... but even 10 or 15 visits to other locations and did not show up ... Then I extended my theory all the "RED" Anomalies and cleared 2 Poltergeists from the board .. And 2-3 visit later ..Here it wa ...

So my assumption / superstition is that in order to get the Event desired anomaly,  the Map must be free of all  "Same color" Anomalies ( there is Red and Blue anomalies)  so when it time the turn of the  Distorsion anomaly it wil go to Airship Dock *IF* it is in Text Mode  if not it will go to another location and you have to wait anotherr cycle of anomalies .and  it may inot show up at all if there is already similar anomalies on the board ...

I have no proof for that theory but I hink it makes sense and I can see how a programmer would do Anomaly / Location assignation based on a randomizer,  in this particular case 2 ... I think the code is somewaht generate a number, see if it warrants an anomaly,  either pick the next  lime and assign a random one from the set of anomalies  see if Event  Location is in Text Mode then assign it the Anomaly if not go to another Location in Text Mode  ... IMO this explains why some user played for days and maybe weeks before seing the Event Anomaly happen ... Espically if there is a Maximum of X similar Anomalies built in to insure a varied game ...

But again beside Leaving the  Event Location in Text Mode and playing elsewhere I may be totally out to luch ...
