Holiday Whodunnit Act 2 is Live! The Rundown and What You Need To Know

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

In our games, the snow is falling and TSTO is calling yoo hoo!  It’s the most wonderful time of the year Tappers, Christmas in TSTO!  I just love the look of a fresh blanket of snow covering my pocket-sized town…at least for now.  I’ll get sick of it by the time January rolls around…in TSTO and in real life (have I mentioned lately I wanna move to Florida?) Anyway, yes the annual Christmas/holiday event has arrived in Springfield, so what does EA have in store for us? Well, we’ve got a real mystery on our hands!  A holiday whodunnit if you will! Poor Santa…

As always, loads of dialogue with this one, so be sure to read along to see what happens! And of course, I’ll be posting it as each week wraps up…

Remember, this Act will still be playable until the event ends on January 12th.  However, Act 3 will start on December 26th (Note the Sunday start date). 

Things kick off for Act 2 with some dialogue between Marge, Wiggum, Lisa, and Herb…

Marge: Now what do we do? We have no evidence, and no suspects.
Wiggum: I have one. *furrows brow* Mr. Snake Jailbird.
Lisa: You’re just profiling him for all his crimes in the past…
Wiggum: What about…Hank Scorpio?
Lisa: I don’t know, he’s on the run in Belize. Plus, he’s a crypto billionaire now — why would he do this?
Wiggum: Fat Tony?
Lisa: Fat Tony loves all things Christmas. He hands out turkeys from his trucks. It’s his favorite holiday.
Herb Tannenbaum: Well, while we think of other people to point fingers at, I could go for a bite to eat.
Lisa: I know of a few good vegetarian places.
Herb Tannenbaum: How about Krusty Burger? I’m in the mood for a nice beefy burger.
Lisa: You…eat meat?
Herb Tannenbaum: Living off chlorophyll sucks — it doesn’t even scratch the surface of the food pyramid. I mean, what category would you put “sun” in anyway?
Lisa: You’re a weird tree, Herb.
Herb Tannenbaum: So, burgers?
Lisa: Sure, they have a good meatless burger now!
Marge: Let’s do it!

This triggers the Act 2  questline, No Business Like Snow Business and is followed by  4hr tasks for Lisa, Marge, and Herb, as well as a task to collect Act 2 Currency (150), and Christmas Trivia.  No Business Like Snow Business is the questline that will take you through unlocking all of this Act’s prizes.

Let’s take a look at what else is in store during Act 2…

Holiday Whodunnit (Christmas 2021) is Live! The Rundown and What You Need To Know

Note: There is a crash issue happening with some devices.  This could be related to the amount of space you have on your device, the age of your device, or something else entirely.  Just remember, the Christmas event is the LARGEST update each year for TSTO (because they reload every single item in the game with snow), so it requires A LOT of free space on your device.  And when I say a lot I mean like 20+ GB…

Anywho….things kick off with a series of 6s tasks for Homer, Marge, Bart, and Lisa (and remember you have to be on Level 15 to see the event)…

After you’ve completed the initial task you’ll kick off the 2021 Christmas Event!
