Hey Howdy Hey Ghostbusters!
Once you reach 1,250 GOO canisters you unlock the 3rd free personal prize in the TSTO Halloween Event…the Vac-U-Bot (for info about the first two prizes check here). Unlike the first two items, the Vac-U-Bot is not a building or decoration. Instead it’s a tool to help you catch more ghosts!
Once you reach 1,250 GOO canisters dialogue will auto-start:
Frink: Congratulations! You’ve just acquired the latest in ghost disposal technology from Frink Removal Incorporated, of FRINC.
Homer: It looks like one of those little robots that vacuums up dirt, but it’s completely and utterly different. It’s a little robot that vacuums up ghosts. Okay, let’s such soul. Where does it plug in?
Frink: It doesn’t! In a major convenience, it runs for fifteen minutes at a time on two pounds of uranium.
Homer: Ooh, that’s lucky. I have a couple uranium rods in my pocket. I put them there to keep my genitals warm.
Now, to activate your Vac-U-Bot you have to tap the ghost icon in the top right corner of your screen. That will create a drop down and the second item will be your Vac-U-Bot. Simply tap on it and follow the on screen instructions.
You tap the scree and keep your finger down and slide it around the screen. It will create a vacuum and suck up any ghosts it sees! Unfortunately, I can’t take a screenshot of the vacuum at work because I need to keep a finger on the screen at all times in order to make the vacuum work. But take my word for it, it’s pretty neat!
Hope you enjoy your new free ghost hunting tool!
PS Wookiee covered the 4th Prize (Zombie) here
Hey howdy hey Tappers!
I’ve been noticing a few questions popping up in the comments of some posts and, while we try to answer each one individually, I thought everyone could benefit from the answers to these questions. So it’s time for another addition of Addicts Question Corner….
First…I know the community GOO total has climbed over 1 billion and many of you are wondering where your first Community prize is. We’re still working on finding out, as so as we have some answers about it we’ll be sure to post them for everyone!
Community GOO Update: Some are now reporting that it’s now back to many of our original thoughts and it’s 5 billion to Unlock the Church of Lard Lad. Don’t worry though, at this rate we’ll be there this weekend! If I have any new info I’ll pass it along as soon as I can!
How many ghosts can be in my town at once? How long does it take for new ghosts to reappear?
Well, after checking out the game files, it looks like a total of 20 ghosts can be in your town at once. And new ghosts “re-spawn” every 15 minutes, whether your in your town or not.
If it looks like you’re seeing a decline in ghosts, from when the update first launched, you might be. Don’t forget originally not many of your neighbors had the ghost popping power yet (only if they sped up their Fortune Teller build) so as more of your neighbors can pop ghosts, and visit you, you’ll see a decline in the number of ghosts in your town. Don’t worry though, you’ll make up for it by popping up to 5 ghosts in each of your neighbor’s towns.
Can I place Gremlins in the “Other Springfield”?
The answer to this is short and sweet…no. The game will not allow you to place Gremlins in the “Other Springfield” because there’s no one to try and stop them. If you want to place Gremlins in towns you’ll need neighbors. Check our our Add Friends page to find some Tappers looking for new neighbors!
Sometimes when I tap on a haunted building 2 GOO pop out, why?
Well from what I see in the game files shows that you’re only supposed to earn 1 GOO per haunted building that you dehaunt. So the only thing I can think of (and what’s seeming to be proven true) is that the amount of GOO that comes out of a haunted building is related to how many times a friend has tapped it while you were away. If a friend un-haunts a building already haunted by the ghosts & another friend comes along and rehaunts it then you’ll be able to collect 2 GOO from one building.
It more all or less evens out because instead of a friend haunting a building (and you collecting a GOO from a new building) they just un-haunted a building that was alraedy haunted. So in the end you earn the same amount of GOO.
Can I access, from the game, the help and prize screens?
Yes. Here’s what you do:
Tap the Pumpkin looking torphy on your main Springfield screen.
That will take you to your personal prizes screen (Homer with his arms raised icon)
To view community prizes, and community GOO total, tap on the group icon (bottom right).
If you’d like to review the instructions for the event just tap the ? mark on the top of this box:
That will launch the instructions screen you first saw when you started the event:
Hopefully that helps answer some of your questions! Keep those questions coming in the comments guys, we’ll do our best to answer them as fast as possible!
Wow… this event is awesome! So much stuff to do and so many bodacious items to add to your Springfield. Just wanted to drop by real quick and point out to some of the newer tappers something EA brought back from last year…. the ZOMBIES!
Hey Howdy hey Ghostbusters!
Just a quick post about something cool….you can find donuts in Ghosts (and haunted buildings, possessed characters, etc) when you pop them! (woohoo free donuts!) I had heard reports of this happening, but I always like to verify it for myself. A short while ago I was tapping in a friends town and out popped a delicious sprinkly pink donut with my purple GOO! Is there anything sweeter?!
So be on the look out for free donuts with your GOO! Another treat from EA this Halloween!
Howdy everybody!
Just wanted to get some info out about a possible glitch that could effect every one’s gameplay.
Even though I’ve been playing since last Halloween and been very fortunate to have only minor glitches so far, I’ve had a pretty serious one during this update.
Homer is missing!
Yesterday I sent Homer on his 12 hour Halloween task. I laughed as he grew bigger to eat ghosts and then took off PACMAN-style eating donuts. While I followed Homie to get screenshots, I watched as he continued off my game screen off into the deep blue sea. No worries right?
I didn’t think anything of it until Homer wasn’t in my town today. Of course, I thought I was SMRTER than him and tried to find him by setting new tasks but apparently, he is trapped in the twilight zone under the water to the bottom left of my town. I can see his yellow thumbs up briefly on a green background.
All the usual glitch fixes have not worked and I have an e-mail in with EA to see if it can be fixed. Just wanted to make sure I got this info out to all you dedicated Ghostbusting Addicts. If you’ve had success with the task in your town, I would not panic. This glitch may just be isolated to the Wookiee but I would feel terrible if I didn’t use my soap box to let y’all know, especially since so many game tasks require the big guy.
As soon as I know the fix, I will let you know. True moral of the story is to not freak about glitches. They work themselves out and it is really only a game. Sometimes they are even hilarious.

If you want to be on the safe side, be careful of Homer’s 12 hour Halloweeny task. TTFN Addicts… Wookiee out!
UPDATE 3 OCT 13 @ 2219 PST
I have been in contact with EA and they stated they are aware of this problem. Some people’s characters have been disappearing when they do their Halloween tasks. Provided it is not Homer or Lisa, the quick fix is to store the building they came with. I did this for Martin (The Springfield Library) and he reappeared. As a bonus, EA gave me 17 donuts so I would recommend letting EA know of any big glitches you may have. Happy tapping and I hope your game is glitch free!
Bunny hoppin on in here for a quick recap on your Neighboreeno visiting. Once YOU have built the Gypsy building, you can start to pop ghosts and collect Gremlins n Goo. You now can go to your neighboreenos to get even more gremlins and goo.
BUT FIRST. Your neighboreeno needs to have gotten to the ghost popping level too. How can you tell? Just look by their name in the town section. If the Goo Counter is at 0, they are not ready for all the fun. If their counter is at 1 or more Goo, then you can go have Halloween fun in their town.
Once in, you will have the same 3 chances to “tap” their house. The top right corner will tell you how many taps you have left. (Like 3/3.) However, instead of those $ signs, you will now see lil white ghost symbols above them.
Tap the lil ghost and VOILA…HAUNTED HOUSE!!!
This all works the same as before, the buildings have to be available to tap. If other neighbors beat you to it and you see no ghosts, then either you didn’t check to see if they are ready and above zero goo or they have been all tapped out and you will have to wait until next time to “haunt” their homes. Make sure you don’t leave the town until you finish all your tasks that you can.
Hope this makes sense. Any further questions, let me know. 🙂

There is an item available with the new event (500 GOO to be exact) labeled “Indian Burial Ground.” In this quick little post, I will let you know just where it came from.
FYI DO NOT BUY THIS WITH YOUR DONUTS UNLESS YOU WANT MORE THAN ONE. YOU GET IT FREE WITH 500 GOO!!
The burial ground can be seen in the first of the Treehouse of Horror Series (Bad Dream House).
