Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
The very first mini-event of 2019 has hit our games! As long as you’ve downloaded the app store update from yesterday, you’ll see this pop up automatically in your game.
For this update we’re going to take a look at the mystery of the Brown House, and Alice Glick.
Things kick off with a 6s task each for Bart and Milhouse, followed by a 4hr task for Milhouse and the kids of Springfield to collect Hard Candies.
A TON of content y’all have been asking for is included with this one, so let’s take a look…
Event Ends January 22nd.
Interesting to note it ends on a Tuesday, not a Wednesday. I think this sets us up for a teaser and/or episode tie-in, followed by an event launching the week of January 28th.
First a note about the Tree Lot from the 2018 Christmas Event…
Some you are reporting that it’s missing from your Springfield. It’s not technically missing. It’s still in your Springfield there’s just a visual glitch at the moment making it invisible when it’s turned a certain way.
This has to be corrected by EA, they likely forgot to put an image in the files for it when turned without snow. I assume this will be corrected via the next update.
Also, yes, you technically can still finish the Christmas questlines if you’ve started them. Here’s the popup I received on my C game…
As will all mini-events, there’s a questline prize track to unlock with this. So here’s a look at this prizes…
All of these prizes, in case you didn’t know, will be unlocked via the “Mystery of the Brown House” Questline. So follow that questline to unlock all of the prizes before January 22nd.
Turbo Tappin’ for that questline will be up a little later today…
As with all events, mini or regular, there are new premium items in the store. Here’s a look at the new items arriving with this update:
And what you’ve all been waiting for…
There’s also a TON of returning content hitting our games with this update. Here’s a look at the returning content…
So basically returning stuff from The Buck Stops Here mini-event that happened last January.
Another Donut Deal has popped up with this as well…
So for $19.99 (US) you’ll get 450 donuts, instead of the usual 300 Donuts.
A note on the Golden Goose…
It appears, and I don’t know if this is designed this way or not, that the Golden Goose is the ONLY building in Springfield (see update below) you can rush…for 12 donuts.
Not sure if this is an error on EA’s part or not. So if you’re planning on rushing I’d do it now, just in case it disappears soon.
Of course, this could be intentional by EA to get some of you to not only pay donuts for the building but pay donuts for each land tile…
Update: As Charles has pointed out to me (and some other folks), there are still some buildings you can rush with donuts. So take what I’ve said with a grain of salt.
And that’s it my friends! All of the details behind the latest mini-event to hit Springfield. Some exciting new stuff (that we’ve been asking for) and a whole lot of returning content! Just want the doctor ordered to start 2019…
Thoughts on the mini-event? Thoughts on Stonecutters stuff returning? Thoughts on the land token earning building? Thoughts on Alice Glick? Lewis Clark? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
