  4. This is the first I’ve made a comment and I just wanted to say that I’m addicted this game and this site has been a great help. Before this event I was a freemium player but that has since changed lol. I did go a bit overboard with the Bri-Bots and after many attempts I finally got all the prizes. After getting them all I ended up with 84 batteries!

  6. Well, i spent 1600 clams and got the Bar first then i did the Brian Bot hoping i would get thay Battery Factory for 75 instead of 250 BUT instead i received 350 Blam 3x, the Clamterprise (which i thought would give blam but just a deco), the Hover rink, the food truck, The robot (no animation), the photo op and 12 batteries

    • Click on the task in the side bar, then you’ll see that the first task is probably unchecked again. So go “check out the nailgunner” that’ll bring you to the Challenge List. Hit got it, and it should pop up with the completed challenge. The nailgunner should be in your inventory at that point 🙂

  10. Decided to take this event off of TQFS. The only way a game can be fun is if you know how you like to play it. 🙂 You don’t buy “Call of Doots” if you hate first person shooter games, and you don’t watch “The Walking Dead” if you hate zombies! So if you don’t like this type of event (I don’t like collecting limited time currency under a tight schedule. I like easygoing, play as you go kinds of games and events.), you don’t play it. So I’ll be keeping an eye on my fellow Addicts playing, but unfortunately I don’t want to accept this quest! As long as I’m still allowed to comment on the event posts 😛

    Weighing in, I don’t particularly like that Android may be getting another outfit for Joe as an exclusive. I assume he will earn Blam which would help us get ahead, but I think TinyCo dropped the ball on this one. As they become a larger company, hopefully they can negotiate contracts so all devices get events the same day within a few hours rather than days later!

    I also liked the format of the Rupert quest, even though I didn’t get him. One box left, but no time to get it. TinyCo wasn’t clear enough on the change of times or when the toys would change, giving some people more time to get toys. But again, since premium characters don’t really DO anything, I don’t miss him. 🙂 Sorry Rupert!

    I’ll be stalking the blog during the event. 😀

Furthermore it really woth it, ’cause it only cost 75 Clams and not 250 😀

    • The surf the bird 1 minute Peter task is the best return at 60 per hour (I do it while watching TV). Don’t get to caught up in the calender numbers, TinyCo has increased currency earning methods in the past. Just focus on getting the quests done and unlocking characters. 🙂

  22. Hey guys, sorry if this was answered in the comments, but above in the post it says, “once you tap Peter it will start the challenge… [this timed event runs] over the next four days.” I know I have to have Capt Hammered, but I’m still a few handfuls of nails away. Question: does the 4 day timer start once we progress far enough? Or is it only Fri-Mon? Is it worth rushing Peter’s costume to play this event? Or will it be waiting for me when I finish in a few days? (Hopefully)
    Thanks, guys! Again sorry if you all answered this… there’s just so many comments to search through! 🙂 Thanks for all ya do!

I’m not a freemium player I drop money on the game as often as I can.. But it still just never is enough… Advice?

  30. Quick question if I may? Back when max level was 40, I was stuck there for maybe three weeks. When the cap was lifted, my meter went halfway from 40-41 (even though some reported immediately moving to 50). It took another three to four weeks to get to 41. This was playing everyday, multiple times, unlocking PB&J Brian, Carter, and getting 8 blueprints away from Stewie. Now that the new event started and I hit 41, I was able to level up to 42 in 2 1/2 days. Anyone else have something similar? I know it ultimately doesn’t matter, I was just curious. Anyway, I’m a freemium player all the way. Love the new event. Been lurking since the beginning and love your site and info. Good luck everyone.

    • We are glad to see you come out of the shadows. 😉 Most who do heavy office farming jumped to level 50 because it generates the most XP. I went from level 40 to level 43 because I do moderate farming. But, now it does seem like I’m moving up quickly (now at level 47). But you’re right, means nothing except maybe a little personal gamers pride. Now, no more lurking…lol 😉

A hard reset usually fixes this, but it’s annoying and earlier I had to turn my phone off to fix it. Sent an in game message to TinyCO and also took some screenshots so I can email them to you.

    • I don’t think it’s an exploit.

      I DO think you will be able to get Joe’s costume with that strategy.

      I’m leaning towards a loophole in the contract. By using the intended device to get your exclusive, you are fulfilling the obligation of whatever makes it exclusive (contracts etc).

      If you own both iOS and droid devices, there is no reason you shouldn’t be able to consolidate your games 🙂 Just my opinion though, hope it helps. I also hope you get your Joe costume!!!!

      • I actually started the game on Android before I realized the app was in the Japanese itunes store. Having supported Google Play through app and currency purchases, if I am denied Super Joe on the basis of having started comic-con on my iphone, Google Play customer support will be involved.
        However that possibility is the main reason I believe TinyCo won’t bother(the other being I doubt the have the time to go out of their way to anger what is probably a very small number of users)

    Could you pls see what you can find out?
    Also read Karans tips and they are good ones but for more Blam!, if you can play every hr Lois on her 6 hr task and Bonnie doing her 1hr task 6 times would give you 24 Blam! for 6 hrs. Much better pay out than their combined task.

    • Every time you send a character on a task that collects a “material” item (like a whip, movie, puppy, etc) once the task is done and you do NOT get anything, that lil pop up appears asking you if you want to try again for a cost of clams or outright buy one of that item for a cost of clams. It is just another way of speeding through collecting items for those that like the option. Otherwise, just send the character on the task again as normal to try again to get the item you seek. 😉

      • Huh? I’ve never once received that option except in the tutorial. Is it disabled by default?

                    The cost to retry is the same as the cost of rushing the task from the very start.

    • This only happens when you rush finish a item baring task with clams and do not get the item, any item task you rush finish does this, not ones that finish on their own. You get an option to try again for a slightly reduced price(price to rush the whole task)or buy for reg price.

    • In my opinion, you should use:
      Joe(Cop) + Bonnie
      Jerome + Lois
      Chris + Brian.
      These seem to be the most efficient for the 6 chars. Unless you could do Jerome’s Bat task every hour on the hour, saving Lois would be more time efficient for those who can’t check game regularly.

I’m still going to try again for the clamterprise, but to be honest I’m more excited about having Patrick Stewart. I knew this update was going to be expensive for me. But, I don’t mind at all because I love all my new stuff. Now the only thing I need is more room! Lol! The quest for stuff isn’t light on the stuff part!
