First thing is first…I’m going to start this by saying…

Dear EA,

THANK YOU!  So far this looks promising, all-inclusive and ridiculouslySimpsonn-y.  So thank you!  Of course, the full jury is still out…but right now I’m a happy blogger.

Tappables 

The tappables for this event are…

Robot Funzos!

And boy are they a royal pain in the funzo to tap!

They unlock with The Invasion is Snow Joke Pt. 5, and they earn…

12 , 1  and a chance for 2 

It looks like they spawn 1/18 minutes.  Max of 20 in Springfield, bank of 60.

Important Note: Info I put in the post about banks etc is just from the files, it’s not verified in-game. It could be that it’s not supposed to work and I just don’t see the line of coding saying it.

Tip for tapping them quickly, because they are hard to find….

Tap the Robot Icon in the top Right Corner, it’ll take you right to them in your town….

Crafting

Crafting unlocks at Part 6 of The Invasion Is Snow Joke.  And the “hub” for crafting is…

Jesus’ Carpentry Shop- Free, 4×6

Crafting currency, which can be earned via tapping Funzos, is 2x4s.

Actually not a ton of Craftables, and some of them are fairly decent.  While I would have preferred Crafting to be gone altogether, I do think this is nice. 

Again, there are levels you’ll need to move up to unlock all of the items.

Here are the craftables…

Candy Cane Fencing- 20 (Level 1)

Rigellian Christmas Wall- 40 (Level 1)

Elf Day Care Door- 160 (Level 1)

Gun Drop Rocks- 40 (Level 2)

Lollipop Flowers- 10 (Level 3)

Festive Nutcracker- 15 (Level 4)

Festive Hot Drink Stand- 60 (Level 5)

Re-Gifting

At Part 7 of The Invasion is Snow Joke you’ll unlock the Re-Gifting Machine…

Re-Gifting Machine- Free, 8×4

Wrapping paper (earned by tapping Funzos) fuels the machine.

If you win 6 times you’ll unlock a special Mystery Box.  Each round takes 15 Wrapping Paper. 

Basically, this is like the Sci-Fi robot battle (Poly Vac)…although there’s a Mystery Box after 6.  So that’s fun.

There is no cool down period from what I can see, if you have 15 wrapping paper you can keep going.

Here’s what’s in that Mystery Box…

5 Ice Tiles (4 times)

Free Land Token

Large Snowy Christmas Hill

Small Snowy Christmas Hill

Neighbor Actions
