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…

What are your thoughts on Act 1 so far? Enjoying the dialogue? Thoughts on the prizes? Which one are you most excited for? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
Anyone having trouble with the sci fighter not working? It’s been around 6times now that I’ve been tapping the robots coming at it and I can only get rid of the first few, and after that it’s like the game isn’t registering me tapping. Even the camera doesn’t work when this happens. Just curious if anyone else is having this issue.
I have a task that’s telling me to use the “bucks” to buy something but I can’t figure out how. Can someone help me please?
This post should help

Has the Super Collider been pulled from the update? It’s no longer available for purchase in my game 🙁
Yes I think it was pulled this morning.
Flash? How do you use the flash?
When you’re doing the scifighter there’s a button in the top right you tap to use the flash.
I don’t have a black hole even after completing the entire quest, it is also not a available in my store, any idea what’s going on
So I purchased frank grimes and while his task for this event has popped up his own quest line hasn’t triggered? Is this a bug?
Utter gibberish, worst quest ever 😉
Dreadful and incomprehensible
It seems to be taking me forever to earn enough robot parts to craft many things at all..
and I’m playing every 4 hours like mad ..
Been trying to get the high (part-)cost items first
Seems like I’ll get nowhere near all before the items are replaced with new ones soon.
Maybe I’m missing something?
I believe Alissa said that the craftables will remain throughout the event.
Which characters provide currency???
Regularly, just the various homers and Frank Grimes.
During questlines, if it’s an event questline the payout is event currency instead of cash. Not no other characters have regular event tasks
They give one each robot tapped, around 150 with the game and 2 on each robot in a neighbors town, any tips/advine on how to get moré currency? I’m feeling i’m going extremely slow eventhought I check every 4 hrs
I agree, I feel like at the rate I’m going I’m never going to get enough dark matter to get everything. Is anyone else finding it really hard to collect currency? It just feels so slow.
I agree, I feel like I’m never gonna get enough dark matter to get all the prizes, I feel like it’s taking forever to collect it. Is there something I’m missing?
How do you do the complete all required demos part of the quest? I can’t figure it out

Check out the crafting post…

Me either, help please!
I think I a want to buy Frank Grimes but I remember there being a quest line saying he takes some work to unlock. Is he worth purchasing for the event if he takes time and other characters? Also are the alternate homers and Stephen Hawking the only characters earning dark matter? I read through some posts but didn’t see these questions. Thanks!
You can send him right to work for dark matter if you get him. It didn’t bring up a questline when I bought him, just placed his grave and that was that.
Why am I seeing people with a robot that Bart is ringing in and controlling? Are these mod hackers or am I missing content?
Hackers.
How to do the “Do me a solid pt.4” ? do i need to print all items at least once ?
Is there something wrong with my game? Robots aren’t spawning in my town (about 3-5 a day). Is there a fix?
Am i missing something but how do you “Use a Flash During SciFighter”? Is there something that i should be using? I’ve gone through a few 4 hour intervals and i click the task to do it to start and it automatically starts with the count down timer then i tap the bots. Then the task is still incomplete on the side bar.
When the countdown starts in the SciFighter, look in the top right corner of your screen and there’s a button to tap to use the flash. I recommend using it when lots of robots are on the screen.
Anyone else having an issues with Photo-Sensitive Deficiency?
I’ce done what i think is use a flash during each battle but the quest line remains for Use a Flash During SciFighter
I’ve done the battles as they refresh through out thhhe day yesterday but it still remains…. any help is appreciated !
Thanks Ilsabear
