Homerpalooza Prize Guide: Act 1 (Rock), Prize 1 Pig Balloon

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Put another dime in a jukebox and grab your dancing shoes, because Homerpalooza has arrived in Springfield!  Yes, the biggest music fest to hit our pocket-sized Springfields since the Singing Stones is live and rocking on our devices!  The latest event in TSTO has us feeling the beat as we experience different genres of music…with a little Weird Al thrown in the mix!

This Event is broken up into 3 Acts, with each Acts containing part of the story.  To help you move along with the event you’ll get several prizes per Act.  Each prize will either be something fun for Springfield or something to help you move along in the event.  For the first Act, Rock, you’re tasked with collecting Cuffs () to unlock each prize!

The First Rock Prize awarded at 4,800 is the Pig Balloon, because nothing says rock like an inflatable pig…

So let’s take a closer look at this first prize and just what happens when you unlock it in your Springfield…

Once you’ve collected 4,800 you’ll automatically be awarded the balloon and you’ll see this message popup:

And you’ll have the option to place the balloon in your Springfield or store it in your inventory for later.  Remember if you store it you’ll have to go into your inventory to retrieve it.

It does come with a little bit of dialogue when placed…

Homer: Hey, it’s an inflatable concert pig, just like at Hullabalooza.
Lisa: It’s a symbol of the corporate greed of the record companies.
Homer: Except, now all the greedy record companies are out of business.
Bart: So now it just means “Caution: a fat man may try to sing”.

That’s it.  Just place and move on…

And here are the quick details:

Size: 1×1
Earns: Nada for now.  Just a decoration..but who knows.  I’m sure one day EA will bring it back as a premium item and throw a bonus % on it…
Conform-O-Meter:Vanity +100
Other Info: Can be placed on the grass/pavement/beach/boardwalk/dirt/pier.  Once you’ve unlocked as a prize you’ll be able to craft more via the crafting menu for 40

And there you have it, the details behind the Pig Balloon, the first Homerpalooza prize!

What’s Next?

Technically the Free Land Tile and a new venue unlocked is next….awarded at 11,100 , but since that’s not a tangible gift for Springfield (just a free land space & unlocking the Simpson House for Jam Sessions.  And a real quick note about the Jam Venue…it’s not a physical item for Springfield.  This just unlocks your ability to hold Jam Sessions on the Simpsons House. I know some of you are still confused on this.)
the next prize we’ll cover is…

Rock Camp Thread Shed- Awarded at 18,800.  This will be the next prize we break down in the prize guide post.
