Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
The nerds have invaded Springfield! Ok just one nerd, and he’s not all that bad. And only in Springfield can Professor Frink, with the help of Homer, open up a black hole that transports doppelgangers, robots and Stephen Hawking (!) to our pocket sized Springfields!
The Sci-Fi event hit our devices yesterday afternoon and with it arrived, not only Stephen Hawking and doppelgangers, but a whole new questline to work our way through!
As was mentioned on the rundown post Act 1 runs until August 30th, and you’ll need Homer free for a variety of 6s tasks to get things started.
Remember, the questline is there to guide you. So when you get stuck on something, or haven’t unlocked something, just follow along with the questline and it’ll take you through everything you need to do to complete the first Act and unlock everything you need in order to play properly.
So let’s take a look at the questline to see just what you need to do to close the black hole and restore order to Springfield…
