Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Well time to live life in the fast lane because we’ve got ourselves a Pin Pals Bowling Mini Event in Springfield! That’s right our pocket-sized Springfield’s have gone to the gutter….the bowling gutter that is…as we set em up to knock em down with this Bowling event!
Remember, this event is designed to follow a series of tasks via the questline to unlock prizes. For each of the parts of the Pin Pals questline you’ll have to earn 
via various character tasks in order to unlock the prize for that part.
Let’s take a look at the details of the fourth prize, Pin Pal Homer. What he does and how you unlock him…
The fourth prize unlocked during the Pin Pals Mini Event is Pin Pal Homer:
Here are some more details behind him…
How You Unlock It: Pin Pals Pt. 4
Make Burns Practice His Gutter Balls- 3hrs, Earns 1, 35xp
Make Moe Watch and Regret What He’s Done- 3hrs, Earns 1, 35xp
Collect Blowing Shoes- x36.
Once you’ve completed the tasks you’ll see his Character Unlock Message appear:
And he’s part of (and in some cases for many of you completes) the Pin Pals Character Collection:
Initially, after you’ve unlocked Pin Pal Homer he won’t have a questline. Instead you’ll just have to keep sending him to earn Bowling Shoes until you complete the prize track. However, once you complete the prize track he will have a questline. Here’s a look at the quick Turbo Tappin’ version of his questline:

And there you have it my friends, the details behind Pin Pal Homer…the 4th Pin Pals prize!
What are your thoughts on Pin Pal Homer? Have you unlocked him yet? Which of his tasks is your favorite? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
I’ve unlocked the final prize, the trophy, but can’t find it in my inventory? Does it unlock after you’ve completed all the quests? Thanks
It pops up after you complete the questline.
Hmm, i finished the prize track a good few days ago and haven’t had the pin pal Homer quest line activate yet.
Enjoyed this event. I’ve got Homer, Apu, Moe, and Mr.Burns all bowling in front of Pin Pal Alley with Otto playing the claw machine. Love the animation.
I very much enjoyed the fact that the quests did not launch until after the prize track was complete. I got the Pin Pal Moe and Burns skins early and was very pleased to have several quests go through after completing the “event”. Instead of the typical having the quests just waiting in the quest journal while i use the characters to earn currency. It was a nice format.
This has been a very enjoyable mini event.
It would be been better if this Homer skin had more things to say, instead of the same thing over and over again. I’ll stop nitpicking now. 😛
I love this mini event, I’ve got Moe, Apu, & Mr. Burns bowling right now 😊 Accidentally sent Otto with everyone else on task, or he’d be playing the claw machine 😊
That’s awesome 🙂 I’m lovin’ this event too and enjoy watching them do their thing
These are some of my favorite animations in the game 😀
