Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey Howdy Hey Turkey Tappers!

It’s finally Turkey Day here in the US!  And you know what that means…Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Apple and Pumpkin pie, football, stretchy pants, and insane sales at the mall!

You may notice things a little quiet around here today (you can always check out the details of the Northward Bound Event here, as we take the day to celebrate the holiday with our families.  Although…..Super Safi will likely be around, as Canadians celebrated Thanksgiving last month.  So like a lot of you, Safi will be working today too!

However, we couldn’t let a day dedicated to being thankful go by without a special THANK YOU to YOU…our AMAZING readers!  We are so thankful for each and every one of you that take the time to read our posts and comment.  So from Wookiee, Safi and myself…THANK YOU!!  You guys rock and we couldn’t do this without you!

And I (Alissa) am extremely grateful for Safi for covering this event so well and allowing me to take my first true break from the site in 8 years. Sure I’ve taken vacations before but I’ve always has posts in “the hopper” for my time away, this time I left Safi with nothing…because the event hadn’t hit when I left…and he really stepped up! I’ll be back in a few more days…so try not to miss me too much! 😉

Here at Addicts, we’ve all been blessed in so many ways and we hope you have too! Although it’s been a crazy couple of years all around the world, I encourage you to take a moment to remember you are not alone and, despite what the world may be telling you, you have a lot to be thankful for…even if it doesn’t always seem that way. 

Happy Thanksgiving Tappers (whether you celebrate or not, we all celebrate through TSTO)!

Friday Filler- Thanksgiving Q&A


Thank Grog It’s Firday!


Wow! So…what a Thanksgiving! Right??

So many new ways to celebrate, without actually celebrating, unless you did celebrate by ignoring common sense, which may or may not have been an actual edict in your hometown, or was just a guideline…which we all know means “do what you want, we have warned you!”

You may think I am talking about Covid regulations. I am not.

I am talking about the vast number of ways people celebrate a holiday which has one of the shakiest origin stories ever…in ways that may or may not actually be putting their lives in immediate danger.

And more to the point…In Which Thanksgiving Traditions do YOU partake, that could be considered “Outside the Norm,” (especially since Norm was not invited this year)?

App Store Update- Thanksgiving 2019

Updates below the fold

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Rolling out this evening is an App Store update for Thanksgiving 2019.  The update is going live in App Stores (confirmation for Google and Amazon, Pat said it’s not showing up in iOS just yet iOS as well), but it is NOT live in-game yet.

I’m in the process of pulling files and images on this, but my hunch is it’ll go live tomorrow morning around 10am.

It’s important to note that downloading this update will NOT remove THOH content from your game.  Those items are still set via timer.  So you’ll have until tomorrow to make purchases, even if you’ve downloaded the update.

Here are a few images of what’s to come with the update…

Happy Turkey Day!

Hey Howdy Hey Turkey Tappers!

You may notice things a little quiet around here today (you can always check out the details of the Thanksgiving Mini Event here and the first round of Black Friday Mystery Box details here (round 2 will be up tomorrow morning)) as we take the day to celebrate the holiday with our families.  Although…..Super Safi will likely be lurking around the comments, as Canadians celebrated Thanksgiving last month.  So like a lot of you, Safi will be working today too!

Well, before we start to carve into Turkey (or Bunducken) we’d like to take just one more moment of your time. As I mentioned above, today’s a day to reflect on all you’re thankful for in life.

Addicts Housekeeping: Addicts Live

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

So we were supposed to have a new episode of Addicts Live! today, unfortunately, we’re going to have to postpone it.  With traveling the last 2 days (if you missed the comments, my flight home from Florida was canceled due to snow and we ended up driving home…a whole lot of hours, in a car, through the night, with two little ones, not so fun), and a few other chaotic things going on for the guys it’s just too difficult to try and make it work today. So, the next episode will now be December 1st.  

In the next episode, we’ll talk about the Thanksgiving mini-event and preview Christmas.

I was planning on laying out Black Friday info on the episode today, so instead, I’ll just write up a post laying out the preview details for early in the week.

Hope y’all enjoy your Saturday, and hopefully, I catch up on some much-needed sleep!

Thanks guys!

Thanksgiving is Coming!

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Thanksgiving has hit the files.  Which means we should see an update shortly.  This will be an App Store Update, so check your app stores for the download.  On the initial look through of the files, here are a few things I can tell you:

-This will be a standard mini event, running 2 weeks long.  So End Date is November 28th. (Christmas will likely start the following week)

-Everything for this mini-event will center around Moe…and his family

-Yes, Black Friday Mystery Boxes will be back.  Those will start on November 20th, and they’ll end on the 28th.

-This event includes 8 new buildings, 3 new characters, and 3 new decorations…as well as a ton of returning content.

I’m still in Florida (Disney World) until tomorrow night so Patric will cover the rundown post when the mini event hits.  Bare with us, as I won’t be able to do much (post wise) until I’m home.  Fortunately, it’s a standard mini event…pretty simple to finish.

So remember to check those app stores and enjoy the Thanksgiving Mini Event!

Reminder Thanksgiving Mini Event, Black Friday & Cyber Monday Deals Are Nearing the End

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Hope you’re all enjoying the weekend!  I’m popping in with a quick reminder that the Thanksgiving Mini Event, Black Friday and Cyber Monday Mystery Boxes (as well as the Cyber Monday Special…Itchy and Scratchy)  are all set to leave our game TOMORROW morning, November 27th. (Even though Cyber Monday stuff just hit)

This is different than past events because it’s ending on a Monday.  So just want to give you all a quick weekend reminder to finish up those prize tracks, grab those premium items and prepare yourself because everything’s leaving on Monday. Out with Thanksgiving and in with *fingers crossed* Christmas!

Note: This is odd because the mini event ends on a Monday.  We’re not sure if this means Christmas/Winter will be hitting on Tuesday or if they have something else up their sleeves.  Personally, for the Addicts staff, the next big event hitting on the 28th feels early…but it’s EA so you never know!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend friends!
