Hello There Clammers!
So last night we got a little Halloween preview in Quahog! Each day a bucket of candy will appear in Quahog…collect the candy each day (which should appear random in color) to unlock Pink Brian!
Full rundown on this can be found here, but this post is more just a reminder. A reminder that at 12pm PDT the candy will reset and a second piece will be available to collect. So make sure you log into your game BEFORE 12pm PDT if you haven’t already collected your candy from last night to do it then, and log into your game AFTER 12pm PDT to collect piece number 2!
Also, a few helpful hints….
First, candy will only appear on the sidewalks. So if you’re having trouble finding it try (BEFORE 12pm PDT) removing some of your roads to make it easier to find it.
Second, I believe you may need Brian to have this trigger for you. We’re still waiting on official confirmation from TinyCo on it, but it seems to be the case. Most of you saying it hasn’t started for you also say you don’t have Brian unlocked yet. So we’re thinking the two are related. However, if you don’t have Brian and still see the event going in your town please let us know. 🙂 UPDATE BUNNY: You must have Brian unlocked in order to start the Jack-o-Lantern quests. Brian is in District 6. You will not be able to unlock Pink Brian and/or collect candy unless you are past this point.
If you are past that, then look to see where your Jack O Lantern is. Just go to the task bar and tap on Pink Brian quest and open the info. The details will pop up right over the top of where it is. Tall buildings can hide it. I was able to move it to better spot.
Third, clicking GO under the candy in the event menu (inside the pumpkin or by clicking on the Brian icon with the timer in the task bar) will NOT take you to the candy. I thought it might, as did many of you, but I just tried it in my B game (I didn’t collect the candy there last night) and it didn’t work. So, removing the roads might be your best option if you’re having trouble finding the candy.
Finally, the candy is triggered each day by collecting rent from a building. So, if it’s after 12pm PDT and you’re not seeing candy, try collecting $ from a building. Once you do this it should signal the candy to drop.
Also, remember…
1 Candy per day will appear in your Quahog and there will be ONLY 1 candy in your Quahog at a time (and only 1 per day). That Candy Resets at every day at Noon PDT. So if you trigger the candy at 8am PDT today and don’t have it BEFORE 12 noon PDT…no mater the time left… it resets at Noon PDT. So the closer you start to just before Noon, the less time you have to find it.
If a Candy Bucket is available, it will appear randomly in your Quahog after you collect rent from any building. So keep a close eye out for it. It can be one of the 3. Also, it is easy to accidentally tap it… so watch for just a candy too. Both are very small in size.
If you do NOT collect the 1 Candy within 12 hours of it dropping in your game, it disappears forever. (Or until Noon reset. Whichever comes first.) So make sure you find it and snag it up right away. That means if you collect from your buildings at … let’s say 2pm PDT and the candy bucket is triggered…you will ONLY have til 2am PDT tomorrow to find it. 12 hours.
Psst…if you need help with Time Zones check out this site…
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html
PDT (for those that don’t know) is Pacific Time USA.
So all that being said…happy candy hunting everyone!
What do YOU think of the event? Are you enjoying it? Excited to get Pink Brian? Sound off in the comments below, you know we LOVE hearing from you!

Are u sure it will only drop on a sidewalk? Last night I got rid of all my roads except one small strip and afterward found the basket in the grass. I was thinking it was just still there cause that’s where it was before I cleared the roads, but just wanted to b sure before I spend too much time going all thru my town if I don’t see it on my road strip. (Thanks for all ur help btw)

Hard close your game (ie force close the app), clear your cache, uninstall TQFS, restart your device and then redownload it. See if that triggers it for you. That’s the last step I can think of, other than another 45 minutes and the new piece should be out (remember you have to collect rent from a building first before the candy will appear). If this doesn’t work AND you don’t see the new piece…next step is to contact TinyCo.

Is it supposed to reset at 9 pm for me? If so, and with 12 hours of collecting, I might just have bleeped myself out of a third candy, as I’m almost sure it was just after 9 am that I clicked that candy.

Yes, the go button does nothing (as it says in the post above). You have to actually search your town for the candy. There are tips to do that in the post above, but one of the best ways is to remove all your roads except for a small space. Since the bucket only appears on roads.

I’ve collected an orange and a purple candy. The purple I received on the first night, on a sidewalk outside a building in District 1, if I recall correctly. I got an orange candy in my inventory sometime shortly after the reset yesterday. I really have no idea where the basket was, because it was at a time of day that most of my characters had actions that had just finished and buildings were ripe for coin collection, so I was tapping like crazy. I only realized I must have clicked on the basket when I saw the candy fly off instead of an item for Sexy Stewie.
It’s fun, I suppose. No skill involved, but I haven’t had problems so it’s a nice reward for logging in every day.

I’m sorry you’ve mistaken Bunny’s reply as bithcy. Doesn’t come across that way to me, at all. Sometimes we have to point out the obvious because it’s not clicking with others. We have to go through ALL the basics, as silly as they sound, so we know exactly what’s going on. And don’t forget…we’re often answering the same question 30-40 times in 1 post…so sometimes by the 30th time the response is a bit shorter and more direct.
Also, don’t forget…we’re not TinyCo. We’re just fans of the game who enjoy helping. We however get equally frustrated when you guys can’t find stuff and there’s nothing we can do. We have zero power to go into your games and find things for you, so it frustrates us just as much.

May I ask? How is answering a readers question taken so wrong? I don’t see anything bad about my comment what so ever. They clearly asked if it was in the bucket and I answered it is. Then also asked if they had found a bucket, like one of the 3 above. Because if they did, and tapped on it, they would find the candy they are looking for.
I think that your mindset may have made you read this entire post completely in the wrong tone.
Many at times will do that. You can’t see emotion in words so you read them in the mindset YOU are in. So if you are angry, you read the words angry. If you are happy, you read them happy. Make sense?
That is like someone asking “Is an apple red?” and us answering “Yes the apple is red” then you saying that was a mean reply. It does not make sense at all.
Sorry if you are having a rough go at the game and upset at the way it is working. It does not mean the we are treating people rude or unkind if the answers are not helping you personally. Please take a step back, reevaluate the situation, and look again with fresh eyes. There was nothing at all “bitchy” in my helpful answer to another reader. 🙂

I think people are reading into the “random” candy drop too much. The only time an item has dropped more than it was needed was during the Chris glitch. I’m thinking it’ll be random until you get all you need of one type, and then it’ll just drop the others.

Why is everyone complaining about the ‘find hidden halloween candy for a free costume’?
That’s like complaining that your easter eggs are too well hidden. That’s the tradeoff for the simplicity of the event.
If you can’t find the candy, you have many options:
Keep looking
Maybe it hasn’t spawned so wait
Wait until the reset. 10 candy, 15 tries. It’s OK to miss one.
If you zoom in they are very easy to spot. Maybe memorize your town better so you can spot something out of the ordinary.
You can’t find it in 12 hours? Maybe you miss a day. You’re already rearranging and demolishing your town anyway; so what if you have to move some buildings until you find it.
Maybe redesign your town to be nice and tight and forward facing. Too much work? No Pink Brian for you then. 🙂

The base is one but the sparkles go quite far up. No need for dramatic change, just don’t “hide” roads. If your roads are behind things you can lose location of a character easily too. Especially ones like Stewie. Nothing to do with the event. It applies to all that use sidewalks. 😉

(Also remember you only have 12hrs from when you first log onto your game after 12pm PDT to find the candy or it will disappear. So that could also be what’s happening)

I’ve never had a problem finding characters with say having a building in front or next to a road. I like to model my town like a real town with buildings located alongside roads, hence why I do that.
It’s just this task that has forced me to delete 3/4 of my roads in order to hopefully limit where the candy will drop.
@jjorigin919: You’re completely missing my point. A big white box, or a check-in bonus if you want to call it that would be going too far in the opposite direction. All I’m saying is that the candy should be made slightly bigger so that people don’t have to rely on stumbling across sparkles to find the candy.
Trust me, people will complain even more if the candy is kept at the same size and there’s several days where they can’t find it due to it’s size. Hence they will be unable to ‘freely’ get Pink Brian. I’m making a suggestion to avoid that avalanche from happening…

Hard close your game (ie force close the app), clear your cache, uninstall TQFS, restart your device and then redownload it. See if that triggers it for you.

People are far too quick to complain. Remember when the >month long comic-con event first appeared and everyone was moaning that they wouldn’t be able to get enough Blam! to get all the prizes?
People have no patience. I swear, they’d rather TinyCo just added a white box in the middle of everyone’s town and you had to tap it once a day until you got a shiny new costume. That’s all they want from this game.

As they are not in really over the weekend, it is difficult to get all the clarifications. (No worries, we will find out soon.) In the meantime, it seems pretty standard to what we are seeing that you need Brian in order to play this. May have to do with the fact the Costume is for him.

OK so I’m not the only one having a tough time finding the bucket. I’ve taken my place apart and still no bucket.

Bucket OR Candy will show…so look for one of either. Remember they are SMALL. So watch for sparkles and take away any sidewalks that go behind objects and will hide the candy items.
LikeLike
Actually, what I am afraid of is there IS a problem with the spawning but they are dismissing it as being our own lazy fault for not finding it.
Can’t they check even a few of our cities and see if the item, either bucket or candy, is there or there is a record of its dropping? If they notice they aren’t dropping they could try to fix it.

If you do feel there is an issue, report it. I am finding 99.9% of those that I was helping that thought they had an issue found the candy like an hour later just fine. It is more a player by player basis. If we see a trend, we will report it. If you think your game is glitching, let them know. I have had 7 people now at dinner say they could not find the candy…handed me their game…I found it. ALL were not aware just how teeny tiny it is and ALL had it hidden behind something obstructing its view and the sparkles either barely peaked out or were not visible as it was too high.
Long story short, if you believe there is an issue…please report it.

TinyCo is going to have to make the candy size bigger. I shouldn’t have to destroy 3/4 of my town in order NOT to find a candy piece…

well here it is, 18:30 PDT and no candy bucket. collected from all my buildings several times and moved my biggest buildings to check blind spots (which is ridiculous, they need to test these icons against the biggest available building and make sure it can be detected from behind it).
The faq states that the Candy Bucket spawn is random after collecting from all buildings with a 12noon reset. Does that mean the bucket just hasn’t spawned yet? The faq says to check frequently through out the day to catch it, but reading here it sounds like its supposed to drop as soon as I collect rent after 12PDT…

As it is just starting and they are not really “around” for the weekend…still waiting on clarification as to if the drop time is random. To me..it seems it is pretty quick after the reset. But that could be just me.
Remember if you trigger the candy, it is even smaller than the bucket but both are surround by sparklies going up. So just watch for sparkles.

You really do NOT have to rebuild. Just take out “hidden” areas. Characters and their outside animation can get lost on hidden sidewalks too. There is really no need to put them BEHIND things if you can’t even see them. Not to mention it would give you more room to decorate. 😉

Nvm I figured it out it renews every day at 12:00 (1:00) for me and I only get 12 hours to find the candy if I find it I wait until 12:00 (1:00) for me but if I don’t the candy renews again I just don’t get the candy from yesterday so far I have two can’t wait til 1:00 tomorrow to find more candy!!!

Odd. Let them know. The bucket alone is teeny. If you tapped it not knowing and the candy popped out…the candy is even teenier. Think of how small materials can look when they pop out after a task. Lil teeny things

Letting them know just gets you a canned response telling you to do what you wrote you already did. So basically write today’s candy off, rip out most of your streets and hope for better luck tomorrow.

Is it possible to keep getting the same candy and then never get all of what you need for another candy type? Like say I do this every day now until 10/4 and end up with 15 pieces of candy but 10 of them being the same type making it impossible to unlock pink Brian?
