Turbo Tappin’ Moe’s Ark: Act 1

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

From amusement parks to zoos, EA certainly has the gamut of summertime travel covered!  The Moe’s Ark (Springfield Zoo) event hit our games earlier today, and with it arrived lions and tigers and bears…oh boy!

As was mentioned on the rundown post Act 1 of Moe’s Ark runs until August 15th, and you’ll need to send 3 Simpsons on a 6s task to get things started.

Don’t forget the Questline will help you get some bonus prize currency…so make sure you complete it to earn that extra currency…also the questline is there to guide you.  Make sure you complete the main questline in order to unlock things like neighbor actions, crafting and more.

Now let’s work our way through the wildness of the Act 1 questline….

  1. When act two starts, does act 1 close and the prizes i have not earned will not be obtainable?

  2. During part 4 when I go to other Springfield to tap on zoo visitors nothing happens. Is there a trick to this?

  3. I don’t get by place “emu experience extension” – where do I get this item from, as it is not in any of the prizes lists anywhere and I can’t purchase it?

  4. Lame! Been playing this for 4 years now. They must have a junior set of program dudes working on this side game/app. Why? So many taps for so little rewards. Will still play but hoping the adults will be put back in the loop on this.

  5. I’m on Android and tried to do the day old donut sale.

    Donuts never showed up. I had to call EA multiple times and then jump through extra hoops tonorive that I bought the donuts.

    Just terrible customer service.

    I would recommend against making this purchase unless you like getting the run-around and being frustrated.

  6. Is anyone being asked to place items multiple times? I’ve placed the wall twice, the lion status twice and just now the butterfly garden. Not a HUGE deal as minimal money, but I keep thinking I’m not progressing in the questline.

  7. Well, can’t complain about lag this time! That’s a nice feature! Haven’t really sat down much to look at this update. Just learned that we can get multiple emu experience exhibits, should maybe have a closer look later

    • My lag went away after the itchy and scratchy land event ended. Have had all of my rides animated since then with no troubles. Though im not yet fully maxed out on items or land…

  8. Good: Different placement of animals, with different actions. Boring: Same two kids, same buildings for each new EE. How hard would have been to add new animals or change color of the buildings? Real creative would be each level up (new EE) would be a new exhibit, like a real zoo.

  9. Here’s a picture of 2 Emu Experiences fully updated…event bonus is now at 8.5%. Only the building accesories have a bonus, the animals are just for show. Also, you can choose which animals you want to take the 4 available positions in the pen, and change them around if you like.😁

  10. Whelp, that didn’t last long. They reduced the xp for the lion statue and butterfly garden. Doh! It was great while it lasted.

    • Still prolly got about a hunny donuts off of it. Could have been way more, but who the hell wants to spend hours doing that? We are trying to keep the game going, but I do believe it’s ok to take advantage of loopholes, while not being a greedy fatty at the same time.

  11. Fiendish Thingy

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the update this morning appears to have removed the high XP value for the Lion statue, and I’m guessing the butterfly park as well. Too good to be true I guess…

    • Yea EA is usually quick to change those..

    • Pyanfar the Hani

      I turned on the Collider last night and ground away for a while. Let’s just say thanks EA for all the Mystery Boxes. I consider us even for the Glitch now. And I took advantage of the Gil deal, so put real cash in the game too.

  12. I’ve upgraded to the Bighorn in the emu experience but I don’t see him anywhere in my inventory.
