Hell on Wheels Act 3 is Live! The Rundown and What You Need To Know

Posted on May 1, 2022 by | 18 comments

Note: no open thread this week because of Act 3 hitting today.  Feel free to use this post as this week’s open thread.

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Rev those engines Tappers because Hell on Wheels has arrived! Which car will be the king of the derby?  Well, it’s up to you to find out in TSTO’s latest update…Hell on Wheels!

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 May 18th.  However, Act 4 will start on May 10th (note the Tuesday start date)

Things kick off for Act 3 with some dialogue between Krusty, Homer, and Cletus…

Homer: Everyone is just staring at me with their I’ve-seen-your-credit-report eyes. I better get out of here. Maybe Krusty will give me a lift home.
Krusty: Sorry, Homer, I’m going to the V.I.P. lounge, so I hope you don’t mind if I ditch you. Actually, it doesn’t matter if you mind, ’cause that’s what I’m doing.
Homer: How am I gonna get home now? I don’t wanna call Marge, and I don’t think Youber drivers accept centavos.
Cletus: Howdy, stranger! You look like you could use a ride.
Homer: Thanks. I’ll just, uh, slide these chicken cages over…
Chicken: BAGAWK!
Homer: Whoa! What’s that about?
Cletus: Chickens ride in front, hitchhikers ride in back. In this here truck, that’s the pecking order.
Homer: Yeah…literally.
Cletus: If y’all are gonna use five-dollar words, you can find another ride.

This triggers the Act 3 questline, The Internet of Wheels and is followed by  4hr tasks for Cletus and Homer, as well as a task to collect Act 3 Currency (115).  The Internet of Wheels 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 3…

Act 3 of the Hell on Wheels Event starts in TWO days, SUNDAY, May 1st, at 11 am ET! 

Act 1 and Act 2 of the event won’t be going anywhere, so if you haven’t finished them you have plenty of time to do so. But Act 3 will be starting up with its own prize track, questline, and premium character(s)!

Here’s who you’ll need free to start Act 3:

Homer and Cletus each have a 4hr task to start Act 3.

You’ll also need the characters that earn event currency free.  As a reminder, they are:
Homer
Bart
Marge
Lisa
Krusty
Cletus
Lenny
Carl
Kliff (Premium)
Vaclav (Premium)
New Premium Character for Act 3 (Premium)

And finally, 1 new premium combo will hit during Act 3 that will help with the event,  As noted above this character will help earn event currency, and you’ll need 150 donuts for that combo should you wish to purchase it.

Gil will also be arriving during Act 3.  His “deal” is 150 donuts.  The items will NOT help earn event currency.

As a reminder, you can see full Act 3 Spoilers (as well as Act 4) here.

And that’s it, all you need to know to start up Act 3 on Sunday!

I’ll be back a little later today with the Act 2 dialogue!

THOH XXX Week 3 Starts Tomorrow

Posted on November 5, 2019 by | 18 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow morning, Wednesday, November 6th, Week 3 (Act 3) of THOH XXX will be starting.  The official start time is 9am ET. An hour earlier because Daylight Savings ended in the US this past weekend.  Files show start time as 1400 UTC, which is converted to 9am ET now.

While the Week 2 questline won’t be going anywhere (and week 1 for that matter), so if you haven’t finished the prizes you’ll have a chance to complete it even after Week 3 starts, all of the Week 2 Premium items will be leaving the store.

So if you plan on purchasing, Dr. Griffin and the Invisible House do so before they leave our games tomorrow morning. (SIBs Linked)

Also, here’s some inside info to help you prepare for Week 3 to start…

During Week 3 Dracula summons villains from various Grimm Fairytales and crowns himself Lord Dracula.  Of course, you’ll have to follow along with the dialogue to find out what happens, but the same characters used for Act 2 currency tasks should be used for the Act 3 currency tasks, with the exception of Dr. Griffin.  Again,Dr. Griffin will NOT earn currency for Week 3.  So we’re looking at God, Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Grampa, Maggie, Nelson, Milhouse, and the New Premium Character for Week 3…

You’ll also need Zia and Kang free for the initial questline objective…

There will also be one new premium character combo introduced during week 3, and that character will be able to help with the currency earning for week 3.  (150 donuts will be needed if you’d like to purchase the combo)

And that’s it my friends!  Be prepared for Week 3 to start up tomorrow morning!

Thoughts on week 2?  Ready for week 3?  Excited to see where the story goes?  Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!

So if you planned to purchase Young Burns and Colonel Burns’ Mansion do so before they leave our games tomorrow morning. (SIBs Linked)

Also, here’s some inside info to help you prepare for Week 3 to start…

During Week 3 Lisa and Bart will frantically turn to other (un-youthenized) adults in Springfield, including Professor Frink.  And the storyline will end with Lisa Youthenizing herself!  You’ll have to follow along with the dialogue to find out what happens, but here are the characters needed for week 3 tasks:

Homer
Marge
Bart
Lisa
Grampa
Maggie
Dewey Largo (NEW for Act 3. Replaces Ned from Act 2)

Game of Games Week 3 is About to Start

Posted on June 25, 2019 by | 10 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow morning, Wednesday, June 26th, Week 3 (Act 3) of Game of Games will be starting.  The official start time is 10am ET (1400 GMT).

While the Week 2 (or week 1 for that matter) questline won’t be going anywhere, so if you haven’t finished the prizes you’ll have a chance to complete it even after Week 3 starts, all of the Week 2 Premium items will be leaving the store.

So if you planned to purchase SmellYaL8R or any of the returning Premium Content, (SIBs linked) do so before they leave our games tomorrow morning.

Also, here’s some inside info to help you prepare for Week 3 to start…

During Week 3 Homer is still trying to replace the E4 Passes, and the Evergreen Terrors continue their gaming ways.  BUT things take a weird, yes even weird for TSTO, turn as Act 3 moves along.  You’ll have to follow along with the dialogue to find out what happens, but here are the characters needed for week 3 tasks:

Homer
Lisa
Bart
Milhouse
Martin
Nelson
Lenny
Carl
Sophie Krustofsky (earns regular premium)
New Premium Character Week 3 (Earns Special Premium)

You’ll also need Homer and Mr. Burns free for the initial questline objective…

There will also be one new premium stand-alone Character (at least according to the files it’s a character) introduced during week 3, and that character will be able to help with the currency earning for week 3.  (75 donuts will be needed if you’d like to purchase the character)

And that’s it my friends!  Be prepared for Week 3 to start up tomorrow morning!

Thoughts on week 2?  Ready for week 3?  Excited to see where the story goes?  Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!

THOH XXVIII Act 2 is Nearing the End…

Posted on October 30, 2017 by | 60 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Just a reminder that Act 2 of the Halloween/THOH/Magical Event/Angelica Button Event/Harry Potter Event…whatever the heck you wanna call it…Ends TOMORROW October 31st at 0800 GMT (4am ET).

Once the Act 2 is over you will no longer be able to earn Fairy Dust Prizes for free. So get everything you can before it’s all gone! (but remember to keep earning wands if you haven’t unlocked all of the prizes because the closer you get to unlocking the next prize the lower the donut cost would be should you need to purchase it when the next Act starts…)

Crafting will STILL be available in the next Act,  As will the Goblin Gold you’ve accumulated.

For a rundown on everything that was included with Act 2 check out our rundown post here.

Be ready for the Act 3 to start bright and early at 0800 GMT (4am ET) tomorrow morning  (October 31st)….
