Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Happy Halloween! Let’s hope there are only treats in store for us today and no tricks from EA when it comes to the servers/glitches/general TSTO Chaos.
It’s 10am here on the east coast and that means it’s time for Halloween Act 3…so have at it, assuming you can get into the game of course!
Remember…this is an automatic change in your game. Nothing to download, it should just start up in your game..
Questline should start right up for you and you’ll have to do a 12hr task with Springfielders
Act 3 runs until November 14th (when the event ends)
Just what does Act 3 have in store for us? Let’s take a look…
Here’s the storyline from EA for Act 3…
The Mummies come in to show monsters how its done. This time Springfielders flee. Ned investigates how to deal with the curses. Ned discovers that ancient stone tablets may hold the answer to protecting them from the curse. They build and shop at a bazaar. Mummy comments that all the minions are being drawn to the bazaar to be eliminated. Mrs. Mummy is upset initially but decides to shop there as well. Mrs. Mummy is ready to unleash a curse upon the land when Lisa asks why they are doing this. When Mrs. Mummy explains it’s to ensure they are welcome any day of the year, Lisa tells her Springfield already would welcome them into their diverse culture. Lisa takes her around and shows all the aliens, robots, and other creatures already in Springfield.
New Currency for Act 3

And that my friends concludes the quick rundown of Act 3!
Remember this is just a quick rundown…as we have time to play through the Act ourselves we’ll break everything down in more detail.
Thoughts on Act 3? Just like you pictured it? Excited about these prizes? How’d you do with your Act 2 prizes? Will you be buying any of the new premium items? Sound off in the comments below. You know we love hearing from you!
Anyone else lose all their friends?
All mine are gone :/
After the patches, I began to lessen my disdain for this event. I bought the Warewolf because his home included a bonus XP. I also got Blinky Monster for the same reason although he does not help with the event.
I had 500 pickaxes (plus saving my daily challenges) ready for act 3 and was able to get all the digging prizes (including Chief Wiggum’s mummy outfit) in one day and have about 130 pickaxes left. I’m ahead of schedule regarding the calendar. Not sure if I’m going to buy the Mummy since his decoration doesn’t have a bonus XP. I have about 1,100 donuts (largely due to KEM farming), but I want to save them for Black Friday.
BTW, EA really needs to do something about those “Send All Springfielders to…” tasks!
I just got Act 3’s 2nd Prize (Land Token), obtained all of the Old Relic Site Dig Prizes (yes, Mummy Wiggum is fun to watch his Tasks), spent sprinkles on Cursed Tomb and Mummy (Amenatep is now on an 8 hour Task riding a Segway (lol), Crafted almost everything of interest (I should have Mudbrick Manor in the morning, so Old Relic Dig Site will be at 45% Bonus) – it pays to save up those Pickaxes and Daily Challenges! 😀👍
Happy Halloween 🎃🦇⚰️👻
12 hour quests – Booooooo!
Earlier this year I put my Egypt into storage to make room. I was wishing there would be some reason for them to release more items so I could actually make a decent area for it… I was so happy when this event came out and have been looking forward to this act!
I took the last few days off from the game so I don’t have a ton of pickaxes like I should. Hopefully that won’t hurt too bad.
Yippee
I’ve got Womenhet
And all it cost was 2835 donuts
😂😂
Naw, I’m not THAT obsessed……..👻👽🎃🧛♂️🧛♀️
6.45 thursday morning, Melbourne, cant get into game, it seems the servers are down here ? 😤
Mummy Wiggum got… seemed I was awarded 2 for each successful dig… glitch? Happy days 😀
100% bonus, if the Flanders plus Curse bonus maxed out.
Holy Lag Bartman!
It usually takes me around 12-15 minutes to clear my out, do some farming, and assign characters on their next job.
After 45 minutes I still was not able to assign everyone on their jobs. It would take up to 20 seconds delay to assign 1 character. That means it would take me about 1 1/2 hours to be able to assign all my characters.
After 45 minutes of working with a slagging game this morning, I got a few characters assigned and just had to leave for work without assigning 90% of my characters any jobs. So sad to waste a whole day of lost job earnings.
You don’t have the Unemployment Office building?
Since there is a 12 Hour Current Task to have everyone run around due to the Mummies……..the Unemployment Office is useless as it ignores characters that have active tasks.
Unemployment building will not auto send people if there is a yellow quest available for them and the primary event quest is 12 hours long. Only about 23 of my non-event helping characters don’t have the quest. The rest I have to send manually if I want them to do something other than that quest, and that is over 200 characters for me.
I wish they fixed that. Sending 200+ characters on such a task s****
But every time again we get those ‘Send springfielders’ tasks. Even a lot of them i don’t even consider them Springfielders
Had over 2500 pickaxes for act 3…was a lot of tapping to get rid of them all..but now the rest of the event will be very relaxed 😎
I started an hour too late! Forgot it always starts at GMT and that’ an hour earlier now since we changed to wintertime last sunday
I know the SIB will come later, but can anyone tell me if the Mummy/Cursed Tomb comes with a bonus, like the Werewolf/Werewolf Cave did?
Nope, no bonus

The Mummy (Amenhetep) is just like Nosferatu and the Werewolf …. some of his Tasks earn Event Currency (and yes, you can send him to earn Event Currency / Pickaxes)!👍
He will have Tasks at his Building (the Building doesn’t generate XP or Simpson’s $ – neither did Nosferatu’s Ship, nor Werewolf’s Mancave, but if you get Wiggum’s Mummy and Womanetep? That completes 3 Characters Collection!) 😀
I know that I already posted that the Mummy has an 8 Hour Task where he is riding a Segway! 😂
It’s slow, I wonder if having to send “everyone” on 12 hour tasks (could have just been glutons or another sub group), people staying logged on to get rid of their 1000+ pick axes could be factors. Look on the bright side if you are in Europe the 12 hour task ends in the middle of the night! I will not be getting up.
You only have to send 5 on 12 hour task.
But you can’t send the others with the office of unemployment
Sluggishness worse than at the beginning of Act 1. No fun playing this way. Half an hour tapping all my characters and houses. 4 seconds each. :-(((
Same. When they disabled the Krustyland rides on previous event it seemed to fix that. But now it’s unbearably slow again.
Things were fixed at 8:00 Central European Time. 😀 I hope you have no problems from this time on.
I’m presently surprised; I never finished the Tween Lit storyline after I finished the main tasks for act 2, and it does appear that they carry over into act 3. I just sent them all on their tasks for wraps.
I’ve discovered a new game and as a result my tapping has suffered… 🙁 But this will be my favorite act: all that Egyptian stuff, so hopefully I will manage to get all the prizes this time around. I didn’t for the first two acts but that was entirely my own fault. I’ve had TSTO slight fatigue before, but not as much as this time. Nuking my town and not having built it all up again yet didn’t help either. Anyways, enough complaining. This looks to be the best act out of the three, so I’m back in the game 🙂
I know it’s a random little thing, but I loved that banana leaf windmill from the time travel event and I was sad I could only get one! I’m looking forward to the chance to get more now 🙂
Very nice – the 3rd prize (Bazaar) can be placed on roads – regular as well as cobblestone.
Hello tappers,
My act 3 crafting hasn’t unlocked despite the fact I’ve reached level 7 and started the act 3 story. Also, during act 2 my craftable spooky crossroad unlocked then permanently locked itself again & says I have to reach level 4?? I finished both act 1&2 completely so I don’t know what the problem is. I’ve synched by visiting neighbours, cleared my device cache & finally uninstalled & reinstalled the game. Nothing has helped. Anyone else having this problem? Any helpful suggestions fellow tappers? Thanks very much.😊
I think you need to open up the prizes in the main bonus track or the relic track before you can craft them. That seems to be the deal in my case.
Sometimes it helps if i restart my phone
I had this happen too- my crossroads shows as locked even though it was previously unlocked and is in my town- and I am on level 7 crafting I think- but have that same message for the crossroads that I need to reach level 4-
stored and re-placed the crossroads to no avail. This happened with the update in Act 2 I think. I have not tried re-installing game- I was hoping it would resolve itself for Act 3….at work now so can’t check til I get home..sounds like I will have to report to EA… sigh…
Thanks for all your suggestions fellow tappers. I’m afraid nothing has helped, I guess I’ll have to contact EA 😥. Estephenso693 if you have any luck unlocking your crafting would you mind posting here with how you did it please? Many thanks 😊
OK so my crossroads is still locked but I am able to craft the 3rd act items… so for me it is kind of a non-issue as I don’t really need to craft more crossroads… sorry I can’t be more helpful.. good luck!
MICHELLELUKA – Ditto the crossroads glitch. I crafted one in Act 2. Now it’s the only locked item, even tho I’ve unlocked Level 10 now. Tried the usual. It’s not us, it’s them……💜X
I went into the act with over 1000 pickaxes and already completed the dig site prize tree very quickly and already working on the land token and still got around 700 pickaxes left to keep digging for the main prize tree. crafted like 1 or 2 things so far and completed the bonus tasks.
Iphone 7 Plus gameplay is choppy and slow. Hopefully will be resolved soon.
FYI, I have been digging for a while (60 relics found) and I find the majority are around the edges.
In my non-premium game I have just received Mummy Wiggins and Finished Family Tome track. And I have still have 459 axes left. Should be an easy two weeks. Now to my other games.
Too much of a good thing…. Already have the land token with 500+ pickaxes left but I’m just tired of tapping….
Still, glad to be able to jump FAR ahead on the quest and then tap in a relaxed way (probably only twice a day) for the rest of the event.
I know! It got annoying after a while. 400 more pickaxes ugh.
I hope the slowness of the game is only temporary as many players are accessing Simpson’s Tapped Out site. The game was running so smoothly…
Aaand… the… laaaag… is… baaaaack…
Seriously this game is really lame
It took me more than half an hour to clear the house farms and put all the people on there 12 hour task
Ea must think that everybody who plays this game is a looser without a job or something
I refuse to play this game until they patch and fix this game
Allready ahead with 140000 with axes and daily. 👍😉
I just got Mummy Wiggum within half an hour and have 879 pickaxes left! I started this act with about 2200 pickaxes that I had saved from act 2! Thanks to the Tween Lit building, I also had 16 rounds of bonuts during act 2! I couldn’t have done it without this site. Thank you Alissa, Patric, Wookie and Safi!!!!
Thanks a lot Alissa ❤
I like the look of the items in this act and I hope that they work with the Egyptian items from the time travel event last year. I wish that there was more Egyptian items returning from last year including the camels and tents.
Hey, did anyone lose axes. I thought I had 800ish at end of event and started act 3 with 388. I could be entirely wrong. but I think so.
