Tap Ball Prize Guide: Act 1, Prizes 2 and 4 Obstacle Tires and Wall

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Are you ready for some Tap Ball!? Tap Ball is the newest sensation sweeping the streets of Springfield.  A game invented by our very own Homer J Simpson!  In the First “Act” of the Tap Ball Event (funny they’re called Acts, really they should be called Periods like Hockey.  Oh EA, it thought you knew sports 😉 ) you’ll unlock Referee Homer, Soccer Lisa, Pin Pal Apu, Build a Stadium (with a little help from Duff, the Kwik-E-Mart, Costington’s and Stupid Flanders) and challenge your friends and neighbors to some friendly Tap Ball competitions!

This Event is broken up into 3 Acts (again, should be called Periods EA…), with each Act containing part of the story.  To help you move along with the event you’ll get several prizes per Act.  Each prize will either be something fun for Springfield or something to help you move along in the event.  For the First Act you’re tasked with collecting Foam Fingers () to unlock each prize!  For this post we’re going to combine the second and fourth prize…why?  Because they’re basically the same prize, just designed a bit different.  So they fit nicely together in one post 🙂 Sooo…

The Second Act 1 prize awarded at 5,600  is the Obstacle Tires.  

And the Fourth Act 1 Prize awarded at 15,100  is the Obstacle Wall.  

Both items are decorations for your Springfield.  So let’s take a closer look at both of these obstacales and just what happens when you unlock them in your Springfield. 

Let’s start with the Obstacle Tires…

Once you’ve collected 15,600  you’ll automatically be awarded the Obstacle Tires and you’ll see this message popup:

You’ll have the ability to place the Tires in your Springfield immediately or place it in your inventory for later (store).  If you store it, remember you’ll have to go into your inventory to retrieve it.

And it’s basically the exact same thing for the Obstacle Wall…

Once you’ve collected 15,100  you’ll automatically be awarded the Obstacle Wall and you’ll see this message popup:

You’ll have the ability to place the Wall in your Springfield immediately or place it in your inventory for later (store).  If you store it, remember you’ll have to go into your inventory to retrieve it.

And that’s really it to BOTH prizes.  There’s no questline, no dialogue, nothing telling you to place it in your Springfield to earn more .  Just win the prize and that’s it.

And now here are some quick facts about the Obstacles (they’re both exactly the same):

 

Size: 3×3
Conform-O-Meter Impact: Vanity +500
Where Can I Place It?: Grass/Pavement
What Does it Do?: Nothing really.  Just a decoration for your Springfield.  No animation and no character interaction.

So that’s it my friends the full breakdown on the Foam Finger Obstacles for Act 1!
