THOH XXVIII Prize Guide: Act 2, Prize 3 Suffoclock of Sandy Doom

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. We’ve got beasts to battle, creatures to capture, wizards to wand wave and goblin gold to gather! Quite a few alliteration altercations huh?

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 second act you’re tasked with collecting Fairy Dust     () to unlock each prize!

The Second Act 2 Prize awarded at 5,600 is Suffoclock of Sandy Doom, because like “sand through the hour glass, so are the days of our lives”…

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

Once you’ve collected 5,600  you’ll automatically be the hourglass and you’ll see this message popup:

And you’ll have the option to place the hourglass in your Springfield or store it in your inventory for later.  If you place it you’ll see a little bit of dialogue that appears:

Sand Noir
Wiggum starts

Wiggum: So, this is the scene of the crime.  But no sign of evidence?  This is great news! We get to pack it up and go home.  Another SPD success story!
Lou: But we did nothing, Chief.  I got an idea where they stored the body though.  It’s going to take some folks to flip that giant sand timer over.
Tap Suffoclock of Sandy Doom
Wiggum: Nice work, Lou.  It’s gonna be hard to gather evidence in these conditions and my never-ending quest to quit tells me to call it a day.  Let’s go grab some Krusty Burgers

And that’s it.  Nothing else to earn, just place, tap, and move on.

Here are the quick details:

Size: 3×3
Earns: Nada.  Just a decoration, but i’m sure one day they’ll bring it back and charge donuts for it.  At that point it’ll probably earn a small bonus %.  But, until that day comes…it doesn’t earn a thing. 
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +100
What Does It Do: Animated when tapped, sand moves and falls from top to reveal a surprise buried under the sand.

And there you have it, the details behind Suffoclock of Sandy Doom, the Second 2017 THOH Act 2 prize!

What’s Next?

 Giant Crystal Ball- Awarded at 9,400. This will be the next prize we break down in the prize guide post.
