Crack the Code parts 1 to 5
Crack the Code part 1:
● Electric Tree (Decoration)
Future Sideshow Bob: *throws a knife at Future Bart*
Future Nelson: Bart, duck!
Future Sideshow Bob: Ugh! “Duck!” A knife thrower’s greatest enemy.
Future Bart: Future Bob, you’re still using the same old knife? It’s sad when people stop growing.
Future Sideshow Bob: The stiletto is timeless!
Future Bart: Okay, boomer.
Future Sideshow Bob: You shan’t duck your fate forever. I shall return! *runs away*
Future Bart: We have to stop that guy. I can only duck, duck, duck so many times…before my goose is cooked.
Lisa: Future Bart, if we knew more about the world you come from, we might be able to formulate a strategy.
Future Bart: I hate sharing with my sister, but only because my life depends on it…

Future Nelson: So there’s a war in the future between the Barts and Sideshow Bobs, and you’re chasing each other through timelines like Rick and Morty doing a Terminator?
Rott: I’m so confused. I need to hammer something!
Future Bart: My sister could probably explain it better.
Lisa: Actually, I’m completely lost.
Future Bart: Not you. I mean my sister from the future.
Frink: No! Every time I fix the AI machine, you guys go and make it start smoking.
Crack the Code part 2:
● Futuristic Condominium (Building)
Frink: Please Lisa, this has to stop. AI’s are for writing apologies and summing up long emails, not bringing people back from the future.
Lisa: I’m sorry, Professor Frink. But the only person I trust who’s smarter than me, is me who’s gone to college.
Lisa: Machine, bring back me from the future.
Future Bart: Ugh. Nelson, please put your arm to my head and cannon me now.
AI Machine: Bringing Lisa Simpson from the future.
AI Machine: …

• Make Lisa Summon Future Lisa – 4 hours
Crack the Code part 3:
● Mystery Box Token
Future Lisa: Sweetie, you’re home!
Future Nelson: Sorry I’m late, Honey. I got stuck in the past, tracking down your brother.
Lisa: Wait a minute, Nelson and I are—
Future Lisa: —bounty hunter and housewife. That’s right.
Lisa: What?! No! I had big dreams! I couldn’t have become a—*shudders* a bully’s housewife!
Marge: I don’t appreciate your tone when you say “housewife”, little lady.
• Collect AR Glasses – x 155
• Make Future Nelson Hug Future Lisa – 4 hours
• Make Lisa Get Upset – 4 hours
• Make Marge Be Upset That Lisa’s Upset – 4 hours
Lisa: Mom, I’m sorry for the earlier “housewife” comment. You did have it rough raising Bart and Dad. That makes you a hero in my book.
Marge: Thank you, sweetheart. Consider your allowance restored.
Lisa: But we need to find a way to reset the timelines and seal them off before we have a Future Bumblebee Man buzzing in—
AI Machine: Buzzing in or buzzing out…Vanilla Buzz Cola will sweeten your summer!
Lisa: It’s still doing that?!
Crack the Code part 4:
● Ana Grams Spooky Abandoned Slaughterhouse (Building)
Lisa: Future me, we need to get all the future people back to the future before future Sideshow Bob kills my future brother. Future.
Future Lisa: *chuckles* I remember when I was your age. Everything seemed so important. It was always life or death.
Lisa: Because this is!
Future Lisa: The strands of time have become tangled. If you continue to pull at them, you’ll create a knot. And you can’t untie a knot.
Lisa: Yes, you can.
Future Lisa: Ooh, Nelson should be getting home soon. I need to get dinner started.
Lisa: What?! Is this part of a bigger plan? Are you being Zen or something?
Marge: No, she’s being a good housewife. Can I help you chop the carrots, Future Lisa?
Future Lisa: That’d be great, Past Marge.
Lisa: Woe is present me.
• Collect AR Glasses – x 155
• Make Lisa Head Back to the Lab – 4 hours
Future Sideshow Bob: Stop! You mustn’t alter the spacetime rifts, or I will cease to exist!
Lisa: I don’t see a problem with that.
Future Sideshow Bob: It will also destroy everyone else that came from the future, including future you!
Lisa: I’m not sure I’d mind that either.
Future Sideshow Bob: What about your future brother?
Lisa: Okay, look. I don’t want future anyone to be destroyed. Can’t you and Future Bart just work out your issues?
Future Sideshow Bob: Of course. I was planning to have a tete-a-tete with him here.
Lisa: At a spooky, abandoned slaughterhouse?
Future Sideshow Bob: Yes. A tete-a-tete mano-a-mano.
Lisa: Ugh, so pedantic. You know, I’m glad future me found happiness rather than studying a bunch of romance languages.
Crack the Code part 5:
● Future Lisa (Character)
Lisa: Hi, Professor Frink.
Frink: Oh no, it’s Lisa. Are you here to screw up the world by using my AI machine again?
Future Lisa: No, we’re here to destroy it.
Lisa: Future me? What are you doing here? I thought you were spending the evening in with your husband, Future Nelson.
Future Lisa: He’s a bounty hunter — he goes to sleep early. I’m here to stop the future war, and return peace to the world!
Lisa: Oh, thank God! I may be a housewife in the future, but I’m still me!
Future Lisa: We have to destroy the AI Machine. It will trap Bart and Sideshow in this world, which will prevent them from waging war in the future.
Lisa: But won’t it trap you here as well?
Future Lisa: Yeah, but with my hubby. And you and I can hang out. You could come to dinner at Future Nelson and my place on Sundays.
Lisa: I’d like that.
Future Lisa: Now let’s destroy this AI machine!
• Collect AR Glasses – x 195
• Make Lisa Destroy the AI Machine – 4 hours
AI Machine: *singing* Daisy, daisy / Give me your answer do.
Lisa: We already did a 2001 parody when Maggie came into the game. Just die already.
AI Machine: *death rattle*
Frink: No!!! My AI!!! This project I’ve worked on for years is dead!
Lisa: I’m sorry, Professor. But things end. You’ll have to pick yourself up and move on.
AI Bubble: Yes, move on to our newest flavor… Cherry Vanilla Buzz Cola!
Lisa: What the hell is that?
Frink: We destroyed the AI, but it isn’t dead. It’s morphed into something else. Something that it perhaps always was.
AI Bubble: Or always will be.
Lisa: That was ominous. Although I prefer cryptic warnings to product placement ads.
Frink: Amen to that. Now let’s celebrate with a refreshing glass of Buzz Cola!
Outro:
Ghost in the Machine
Frink: It looks like the influx of future friends and family is coming to an end, and everything is going back to normal.
Future Bart: *starts to disappear* Whoa, what’s happening to me?
Lisa: Oh no, Future Sideshow Bob was right, and you’re all disappearing!
Future Bart: Save me, Past Lisa! *reaches his disembodied hand towards Lisa*
Lisa: Don’t worry, I won’t let you go!
Future Bart: *pulls his hand back and combs it through his hair* Psyche! You were always such a sucker, Lis.
Lisa: Huh? Wait, you mean you’re not disappearing?
Future Bart: No, just pranking you with my invisibility cloak. You forgot I had that didn’t you.
Lisa: My brother’s being a jerk to me. I guess things really are back to normal.

That wraps up this event, back when the next update hits.
Google and Reddit provide both possible answers: do mystery box tokens survive from event to event?
On normal events not usually, they are coded to only match the event itself.
Shattered Tokens do remain.
Gold Tokens for Black Friday might, but it’s a gamble.
No
Will next update be Halloween?
Expect a mini event next week then Halloween in 4 weeks is my bet
