Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Fall has arrived and there’s a haze over our Springfield’s, that can only mean one thing….it’s Halloween in our pocket-sized towns! This year EA’s thrown a little magic into the mix, with an Angelica Button theme invading our towns. An all new event means loads of new premium items in our stores just tempting us to drop those donuts while they’re hot!
Of course with that limited-time label, it can be tempting to grab everything in sight because it’ll be gone soon. But don’t sweat it! That’s where we come in to tell you what’s worth those donuts and what you might want to hold off on.
Wondering if you should add the Mess Hall to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this lunch spot to your town…

Pros

-Willie has a permanent 4hr task there (Food Fight Cleanup Duty), which earns at a premium rate
Cons
-Pricey for a stand-alone building
-Building animation is weak. Lights turn on, and barely.
Final Thought
Premium:
Meh. It’s another building for Springfield, and your magical area. I do think this is overpriced and underperforms, so personally, I’d save my donuts. But if you’re into this magical stuff and really working on building your Spellementary Academy then go for it…but there’s no real practical reason to pick it up beyond that.
Freemium:
Pass. If you want something magical, I’d rather see you spend donuts on the Library…it’s animation is much better and it comes with a character.
Of course, in the end, it’s your decision, we can only tell you what we would or wouldn’t do…and as I premium player I’ll be passing. Just doesn’t seem worth the donuts. But whatever you decide, just make sure you make your final decision before it leaves our games for good (or for now).
Here’s a look at the questline…
Magical Mystery Meat
Lisa starts
Lisa: Ew, what the heck is this?
Luch Lady Dora: Two cups camel, a dash of dugong, a smidge of seagull, and three parts porcupine. Headquarters packages it all into one animal, it’s great.
Lisa: This is cruel and in no way a sustainable resource!
Luch Lady Dora: Meat’s meat. We’ll just move on to other animals when those run out.
Make Kids Eat Around the Scorpion Bits- x3. 4hrs, Earns $260, 70xp
