Kim was kind enough to offer her help once again for the Superheroes Sequel Event. She’s written up the ins, the outs and everything in between that you need to know about Burns’ Summer Mansion. Enjoy and thanks again for the help Kim!
Hididely-ho there, neighborinos! Our Superhero Sequel is in full swing in Springfield and we know you have questions. Fear not, intrepid citizen! We are here to help you out and give you all the inside information. Without further ado, and no John-Williams’-style fanfare, here is the breakdown on Burns’ Summer Mansion! (How many houses does that guy have, anyway?)
Building/Decoration: Burns’ Summer Mansion
Price: Free
Earns: 
and 
/4hrs – amounts vary based on characters sent
Size: 15×12
Conform-O-Meter: Indolence +10
Once you have worked through the following questlines: Prelude 1 & 2, Orphan Alley 1-3, Who’s the Boss Now? 1-3, Training Day Part 1, you will be prompted to build Burns’ Summer Mansion, which is free. If you’re not sure where you are in the questline, head over to the Turbo Tappin’ Superheros 2: Issue 1.
Once the mansion is built, you will see the following pop-up:
Square inches (
) are what you will earn in order to upgrade the mansion and increase your tapping radius when you tap the criminals lurking in your towns. This means that the larger your tapping radius is, the more criminals you can clear in one tap. Each level increases your tapping radius by 1 square “inch” (or square – it’s not actually inches, folks).
Basically, you send certain heroes and villains to the mansion and you will be able to earn event currency (brass knuckles, ) and square inches, – similar to, but less complicated than, the Town Plaza during the Wild West event.
Who can I send to Burns’ Summer Mansion?
| Character | Task | Earns |
| Pie Man | Eat 50 Year Old Snacks | 2 6 |
| Fallout Boy | Scrub the Floors with a Toothbrush | 2 6 |
| Clownface | Blow Dust off Surfaces | 2 6 |
| The Collector | Duct Tape the Windows | 2 6 |
| Cyborg Snake | Eliminate Vermin | 2 6 |
| Old King Coal | Boss People Around | 2 6 |
| Citizen Solar | Install Solar Panels | 4 12 |
| Wind Lad | Blow off Spider Webs | 4 12 |
So, freemium characters earn 2, 6 and premium characters earn 4, 12
How do I send my characters to the mansion?
You tap on the mansion, which will have a floating above it when characters are available for tasks:
And you will see this window:
Tap “Start” to send your characters on tasks at the mansion. You will not be able to tap directly on the characters in your towns to send them to the mansion; these tasks only appear in the mansion’s menu.
What are for?
Square inches () increase your tapping radius for tapping the criminals in your town. When you first begin the event, you will only be able to tap 1 criminal per square. You use the to upgrade the mansion and increase your tapping radius by one.
What does upgrading do?
Not only does upgrading the mansion increase the tapping radius, it also increases the size of the mansion. When you upgrade to Level 5, you receive the West Wing of the Mansion:
Level 15 gives you the East Wing (complete Mansion):
You are able to change the façade to whichever your favorite is.
How much does upgrading cost?
Each level costs 6 more than the previous one. It’s already at level one. So, level 2 costs 6 , level 3 costs 12, level 4 costs 18, etc. For those of you who, like me, love tables, here you go:
| Level | Cost | Earns |
| 1 | None | |
| 2 | 12 |
+1 Tapping Radius |
| 3 | 18 |
+1 Tapping Radius |
| 4 | 24 |
+1 Tapping Radius |
| 5 | 30 |
+1 Tapping Radius and West Wing |
| 6 | 36 |
+1 Tapping Radius |
| 7 | 42 |
+1 Tapping Radius |
| 8 | 48 |
+1 Tapping Radius |
| 9 | 54 |
+1 Tapping Radius |
| 10 | 60 |
+1 Tapping Radius |
| 11 | 66 |
+1 Tapping Radius |
| 12 | 72 |
+1 Tapping Radius |
| 13 | 78 |
+1 Tapping Radius |
| 14 | 84 |
+1 Tapping Radius |
| 15 | 90 |
+1 Tapping Radius and East Wing |
| 16 | 96 |
+1 Tapping Radius |
How long should I keep upgrading?
You really don’t need to upgrade the mansion past level 15. By that point, you’ll have a large tapping radius for capturing criminals and will have fully upgraded the mansion with both wings. However, there is no harm in upgrading past that point. In fact, there will be no other use for the , so you may as well use them. From what we have been able to see, there is no maximum level.
Once I’m done upgrading, should I keep sending characters there?
YES!!! By sending characters to the mansion on tasks, you are also earning event currency; for Issue I that is brass knuckles (). This is an easy and guaranteed way to earn event currency every four hours. Even if you aren’t interested in upgrading the mansion and increasing your tapping radius, send your characters to earn event currency and (once you are done with the Issue I prize track) BONUTS. Woo-hoo!
Personally, I am also ignoring new character quests until the event is over so I can continue to send them to the mansion. This way I can earn my prizes faster and maximize the Bonut round. The character quests (like those for Cyborg Snake, Old King Coal, Citizen Solar, and Wind Lad) will still remain for a while after the event is over, so sending them to the mansion instead of on their individual questlines is a good strategy.
And that, friends and heroes, is the full breakdown of Burns’ Summer Mansion!
What do you think of Burns’ Summer Mansion? Where have you placed it in your Springfield? Questions we neglected to answer? Thoughts on the Event? Enjoying yourself thus far? Sound off in the comments below; you know we love hearing from you!
Burns’ summer mansion and also the Homerlayas keep resetting themselves to their original state (no wings and only Homer, respectively). I have not noticed this with any other buildings or decorations where I can choose façades, only those two. Is there a known solution or do I just have to live with that I need to change back the façades every other or third day (or something like that, I have not been keeping track)?
All I know is that people have reported those items switching when they play the Homer chili game. Couldn’t hurt to make a forum topic if you liked.
Ok thanks. You mean at the EA forums?
Yup
It happens every time you play the chili cauldron. It also resets the player’s tower we got from the casino event, which is the change that bugs me the most.
We’ll just have to hope that EA fixes this in a future update.
Oh I never noticed the tower until now. I had a break from TSTO in the beginning of the year and came back in the middle of the casino event so I didn’t manage to level up the tower fully. It’s the Homerlayas that annoys me most.
Will the mansion be able to be upgraded over the entire event, or will it stop at the end of phase 2 (tomorrow)?
Whole event
Thanks Alissa.
Best regards to you and your family.
How do I place the mansion? Do I need to place it in a certain spot? I have an open spot but I can’t place it.. Finding it difficult to move forward 😕
Watch for small items in the area. Rivers, roads, or paths in the way. Teeny flowers or bushes.
Never mind. I mean the collider, not comic book guy. False alarm. I can send comic book guy.
Expatrie-
My collector won’t go dust off the windows?
Expatrie-
I thought it was “type-o”? Or is that a typo, too?
Thanks for the info. I personally think the mansion looks great standard, so if I fail to reach level 15 it won’t bother me much…
I like the first version better too! Even if I get to level 15 I’ll be switching back to the original. I like the little flower beds.
Thank you so much for the advice about waiting to finish new character quests! It was driving me crazy. Well, I’m off to maximize bonuts with a clear head thanks to you. ☺
It’s always nice to be helpful! Thanks! 😀
Nice column Kim. Thanks and please continue the guest writing.
Has anyone had issues collecting squares from the mansion? I’ve had my mansion for several days but it never actually generates squares. It doesn’t bother me too much that my tapping radius isn’t expanding however I am not able to send anyone there for tasks. I’ve logged out and back in, no luck. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game, no luck.
Are you tapping the mansion directly and sending them via the menu that pops up? It’s the only way to earn square inches.
I think I’ve got it now. For what ever reason when i was trying to send people before (by tapping on the mansion) it kept giving me an error message. It FINALLY worked. Thanks!
I have been hesitant to move Burns Manor to Springfield Heights because it’s in a location I’ve been happy with for the three years I’ve been tapping, so I’m glad our favorite billionaire now has a summer mansion I can add to the Heights district. It’s a building I won’t be storing after the event ends.
New banner! Squeek! LOL 🙂 Thanks AA (Amazing Alissa)
I cant send the heroes from previous event to the mansion. What could be the problem?
Did you read the list of who you can use? It’s not everyone from the previous event…only Clownface, Pie Man, The Collector and fallout Boy
Not sure if you’ve gotten to the 24 hour task for sequel squad to lay low,,,you can send colossus,,radioactive man & collide to do it there .
Only for that task. So don’t send your regulars on thr 24 hour task. Sent the irregulars.
Expatrie-
Is anyone else having a bug where the mansion’s facade keeps reverting to the original. I’ve unlocked the west wing, but every time I set the facade to west wing, the next time I go to the mansion, it’s back to displaying the original.
Yep, me too. Very annoying.
tonflo1
I’ve noticed for sure that it happens after I play the insanity pepper game. Not sure yet on any others causes.
I think I’ve figured out the culprit. It’s the Insanity Cauldron that’s doing it. Every time I play Insanity Mode, it resets the skin on my Burn’s Summer Mansion. I noticed that it also happens to my Players Tower from the casino event. It gets reset to its base skin too.
And the Homerlyas.
Yes it does this to me too. Burns Mansion and the Players Tower. Thank you for posting about it. It has been driving me crazy. Just like no beer and no TV…
Nice post Kim, but you might want to fix the typo for Clown Face’s task (it made me laugh though, the urban spelling of something) 🙂
That’s an Alissa Typo lol…I had to rewrite her tables so i could get them in the post.
Sorry I missed it… What did it say?
Dush
So, is that a portmanteau of “kush” and “dank” or something?
Hah, and what’s it say now? Bush? (I didn’t read it…..skimmed, but didn’t read it.)
Technically your comment Tot and the table you re-wrote for Kim Alissa both have typos. I kept typing Clown Face, and auto correct prefers Clown Face, but its actually Clownface (one word).
But please don’t change the table for one little typo no one cares about. Just wanted to give Tot a hard time for having a typo in his comment about someone else’s typo.
There’s a typo in Citizen Solar’s task too. “Panals” should be Panels.
LOL! Thanks for the save, everyone. 😀
Will the reviving juice run in the following acts? I am hoarding it for when I am hard pressed for time. Will get King Coal tomorrow morning. Can’t wait for bonuts round.
Never hurts to hold onto it. It should carry over..
Thanks. I will do!
How are you all progressing so bloody fast?
Expatrie-
Reviving Juice? Nice. I guess you mean Sciencewater, but love hearing the synonyms.
Love the new banner, by the way!! Thanks for the continued posts helping us with this event. It’s pretty massive and has loads going on, so it’s certainly no small task.
Sweet! I never know when to stop updating lol! I’m def. going to keep sending people there to get more knuckles! I’ve already gotten all the prizes and we still have six days until the end of act 1, BONUTS here I come :0) I need as many as I can get because there are a lot of upcoming cool things that are premium!
Sorry I know this is unconnected but ….
I cannot connect to the game , not even pass the first screen shot to login , am I on my own ?
Yes I’ve deleted and re downloaded .
Anything else ?
Thou probably need to free up more space/memory on your device…this game is a major memory and space hog!
Is there any indication that you’ll be able to get additional mansion upgrades in part 2 and 3? I just noticed the mansion has a foundation outline that the east and west wing only partially fill out.
No additional mansions…more tasks will be added to it though
I think we’re seeing different things because it looks filled out to me.
Hey there,
I think I found a issue here. In your list about the Level up the Burns’ Summer Mansion you say: in each new level you need 6 more “Square inches”. I already have now a level 5 Mansion but for level 6 I need 36 “Square inches”. In your list you say I need to upgrade up to level 6, just 30 “Square inches”.
Do you “offset” or do I understand it wrong?
No it’s a typo
Which is six more than the 30 you needed to upgrade from level four to level five. So it’s not six in total that you need; it’s six more than you needed to collect to earn the prior upgrade. Hope that makes sense.
Will Square Inches be used, or even available, in Act 2?
And I know the brass knuckles disappear after act 1, but what about the comic books? Once I’ve crafted the four prizes ( bookshop, car, statue, and Lucite container), should I start stockpiling band-aids, or hoard comic books for the next act?
Yes…and more characters will have tasks there. Trading cards will remain for all 3 issues
Thank you. Yes, I meant Trading Cards, not comic books. I haven’t used a lot of band-aids, because I have enough heroes to fight three battles, and they all heal on their own by the time the next felons spawn in 4 hours.
So… I’ll craft the four unique items, and hoard the rest of the trading cards until Act 2.
Interesting addition. I do the quests though it seems to go by quickly enough.
There’s one to have the Squad lay low for 24 hours; I’m using Petroleus Rex for that one.
You can also use Radioactive man, Dr Colossus and The Collider (if you have them) so that you don’t need to use characters who can earn square inches.
**spoiler alert** Once you have Old King Coal and are into the bonuts rounds, you can use the task in the task manager to take you directly to where the criminals are – no need to go hunting for them. A neat trick I discovered today.
Cool, that’s happened in some previous events, and I was really hoping it would here; some of those little buggers are hard to find!
I found one walking on the ocean. He was the last one in my town at that point, no wonder it took me so long to find him!
I love the design of this building! Many tappers know my love of design so I can’t wait to make my mansion area! 🙂 Thanks for the rundown AA! Really helpful 🙂
