New App Store Update Available: Northward Bound

Update 2:53pm – Once you download the update and initially open your game, it will go really really slow. Guess it takes time to plant trees and prospecting areas in Springfield Heights. “I moved here from Canada, and they think I’m slow, eh!”

Greetings from Canada,

We teased it earlier last week on our spoiler post, which you can read here if you missed it, and now it’s time to download the update!  The 2021 Northward Bound Mini-Event has arrived in our app stores!

Remember, this app store update does not start the event it’s just the download for the event.  The event will start TOMORROW November 17th at 9am ET…time zone converter here ET is Toronto/Ottawa/Montreal time zone. So please, don’t ask why the event hasn’t started in your game if it’s not November 17th at 9am ET…

Remember, you may have to hard close and reopen your app store (and do a search for Tapped Out) to see the update…

 

So be sure to download the update, and be prepared for Northward Bound to hit our game tomorrow (November 17th) at 9am ET!

And in the meantime, check out this post to get you in the Northward Bound mindset.
