I think I've gotten to the bottom of this mystery.
I am playing this quest on two devices, my old and new Android smartphones and i started this feastivus quest on my old phone but it hasn't properly synced with my new phone.
I believe that whenever i go to the loading screen to change to a new profile the game syncs any changes and in this case it changed the power crystal level without starting the timer and showing no progress in the trail on my new device.
I have just opened the quest on my mastery profile on my old device and it is as it should be, power crystals charged up to 80 and showing my place in the trail when i left it.
Why it's doing this i don't know, i think the game also refreshed the teleportato mine quest in my old device profiles so i was able to unlock it and get it to L2.
I might even be able to play this feastivus quest again for the extra seeds, it's very easy with adventure level zombies.
@linuxPigPen. I hope your chihuahua gets better soon.
