Hi Ghostbusters!
We’ve been getting several questions in the comment section about Gremlins and when to tap them in your town, if it hurts or helps your neighbors. So let’s go over some of the Gremlin basics!
When should you squash Gremlins in your town?
Well, that’s entirely up to you! If you let them run around your town for the full 4 hours your friends will earn 4 GOOs per Gremlin. However, if you squash them before the 4 hours are up you’ll each receive 2 GOOs.
My thought is when you squash them everyone wins! You get something out of it and so do your friends. Plus you can free up your town for more friends to drop Gremlins! More Gremlins=more GOO!
How many Gremlins can be in your town at once?
10 Gremlins are the max that are allowed in any one Springfield at a time. When you visit a friends town there will be a Gremlin counter in the top right corner of the screen. This tells you how many Gremlins you can still drop in their town.
If they have too many Gremlins in their town a pop-up will appear on your screen saying something like, this friend has too many Gremlins try again later. All you have to do is wait a little while to see if you can drop some I later, or try a different friend.
Do Gremlins steal my GOO or create new GOO?
The good news here is that, unlike another event that shall not be named, Gremlins don’t actually steal GOO. Instead they create new GOO. So the 4 GOO yielded from the Gremlins is new GOO and does NOT come off of your collected (or soon to be collected) GOO total!
How do I know how Gremlins I dropped in friends towns are doing?
Well after you’ve dropped Gremlins in another town, if they’ve survived or been whooped you’ll receive a notification the next time you return back to your town. A little pop-up window will appear on your screen telling you just how much GOO your little Gremlins were able to collect!
So that should just about cover the Gremlin basics. If you have anymore questions feel free to leave them in the comments below!
Happy ghost gremlin hunting everyone!
I still haven’t gotten an answer to my question. LOL
Someone help 🙂
Do gremlins just keep on collecting goo for as long as they’re not caught? I’m sure they’re mine.

According to my experience AND the game files the answer is no. After 4 hours they no longer collect GOO and they’re supposed to disappear. The max amount of GOO a Gremlin will collect is 4 GOO canisters. So even if you see one running around a neighbor’s town and it’s been more than 4 hours AND you know it’s yours…it will not collect you any more GOO once it’s hit 4.
Sorry it wasn’t answered sooner, I didn’t see it until this morning. Hope that helps! 🙂
Oh okay. At least I got it now. Thanks! 😀

I would like to know the answer to Kateviray’s question also: “Should the gremlins just continue getting goo for as long as theyre not squashed?” (i.e. do you get 4 more goo after 8 hours)?

How come the gremlins i left in a friend’s town (which havent been squashed) only collected goo for me once? When i check my friend’s town, they were still there.
Are you sure they’re still yours? Usually they disappear after 4 hrs.
Yup, coz I’m his only friend. Haha! I see them running around but they haven’t collected anything for me since the first time. Should the gremlins just continue getting goo for as long as theyre not squashed?
Add me… I am in Europe (6 hours ahead of EST). And I play every day. If you see my characters with 8+ hour tasks and it is after 7pm in New York, your gremlins are good for 4 GOO.
