Elf Bell Prizes: Breaking Down the Cannon Control Building

Posted on December 31, 2014 by | 63 comments

Hey Howdy Hey My Elfish Tappers!

Well….unless you’ve been partying a little too hard you know that Elves have taken over Springfield!  Elves work hard and party even harder…so much so that even Santa bailed on Springfield!  It’s your job to contain the Elves and send them back to the North Pole.  In doing so you’ll earn Elf Bells..which will give you some awesome prizes!

With this event EA is repeating a similar prize structure to what they did for Halloween, only more prizes, and releasing the event (and prizes) in stages.  For the second phase, which lasts until the event ends (Jan 14th), you can win 8 prizes by collecting Elf Bells.  The second prize awarded at 1,700 Bells is the Cannon Control Building.

Posted on December 26, 2014 by | 72 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Christmas is over and it’s time for the Elves to unwind.  After all the work hard to make all those presents…so it’s only natural that they’d party even harder!

Of course the residents of Springfield didn’t know how hard the Elves party until it was too late (even Santa bolted!).  So now it’s up to you to help them get the Elves out of Springfield….

So now let’s take a look at just who you need to keep free and for how long to progress through Part 2 of Christmas! turbo tappin Christmas phase 2

Addicts Question Corner: Phase 2 of Christmas

Posted on December 26, 2014 by | 303 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Well after taking some time off to be with our families during Christmas…we’re back!  And you guys have a TON of questions.  Could EA have picked a more inconvenient time to have an update AND have a major server crash issue?!

Hopefully everyone’s back up at this point (I know last night’s patch helped me get back in).  If you’re still having issues we recommend contacting EA.  They should be back open now (they were closed yesterday for Christmas)…and if you need more assistance than the patch they should be able to help (or at least escalate your specific game).

Now…since the night before Christmas brought a new Phase of Christmas and we know a lot of you still have a TON of questions about it (of course us taking time off right after it hit didn’t help..) I figured now would be a good time for another edition of Addicts question corner.  This time we’ll tackle the basics of Phase 2.  We’ll still have more in-depth posts about each topic..but consider this a basic FAQ that should help with a lot of your general questions.

Let’s get started shall we?

Happy Little Elf 2 Continue reading →
