Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
It’s Pin Pal time in Springfield! Yes, that’s right everyone’s favorite bowling team has reunited to help Mr. Burns evade Uncle Sam and the IRS! This new mini event launched yesterday afternoon, and it’s stacked with bowling inspired buildings and decorations.
Of course, as with all events, a questline comes with it to help move us through the ins and outs of the event…and unlock all of the prizes. As was mentioned on the rundown post this mini event is similar to the previous mini-events (like Homer the Heretic and the Most Dangerous Game before it), in that you’ve got to complete various tasks to unlock the prizes.
So let’s take a look at the questline to see just how to unlock all the Pin Pal inspired prizes and figure out what happens when Mr. Burns tries to bowl…
Before you ask, from what I’ve seen bowling shoes
