Hello There Clammers!
Halloween has arrived in Quahog! And Peter, in typical Peter fashion, has decided to tick off the dead. In doing so Peter accidentally opens a dark portal in the Quahog cemetery and unleashes all manner of ghosts and goblins on the city…your job is to help round up these ghost, goblins and ghouls!
Of course TinyCo has armed you with a fun questline to help rid the dead of Quahog (and in some cases raise it)! By following along with the questline you’ll learn the ins and outs of how to succeed at Halloween, and send the dead packing!
Of course you all know we’ll be here every step of the way to give you that little extra insight and support throughout the update! So let’s get things started with our quick walkthrough for Week 1 of Halloween…and prove “I Ain’t Afraid of No Ghost”…only big dogs 😉

Also note that the Fiscal Fright questline will run alongside this throughout the entire event. This is basically telling you to upgrade to the next level, but here’s the first few…

And this questline continues like that…so there is some benefit to leveling up! 🙂

I was on honeymoon in a place with terrible interwebs, this meant I ran out of time for the first challenge, is there any way to start again? I would love ekto 1 😦 and do I get a chance to do the other challenges if 1 failed? Thanks in advance x

So portal is level 1 till tomoro? I’m trying to decide if I should use my bones to brew items for FP or save them for Diane (my original plan). I want to save but that timer counting Dwn makes me nervous that I need to do that first!! Ggrrrr! I’m so confused! Right now my portal is purple with a tombstone with a 2 on it floating over it. I’m just trying to figure out if I’m where I need to b! Lol! Btw Love the site! Long time reader….first post!

Alissa, now I know u have 2 games going so I’m thats y I’m asking u this. Should I spend my vial to buy stuff so I can upgrade my portal level so more ghost can come out so I can get more vials or should I just save my vials. I guess I’m asking is will my ghost comes out fast enough and give out enough vials that I will earn more vials if I do this and also have my portal at a higher level?

We do not yet know what the new ghosts will bring with the new portal, so it is hard to say. I think Upgrades usually are beneficial, but if you want to wait…just let the update hit the game and see what other players are stating in response to it. 😉

Do you know if the fiscal fright quest ends at any point or if any more clams are given for leveling. I got to level four and the quest is still continuing.

Still looking into that ourselves.

Are the tents and other buildings worth getting? I already have ghostbuster peter, but if they later will give XP and $$ then would they be worth it? Or do they just make your game look spooky and cool 🙂

i have the option to upgrade my portal to level 2. But, I’m still working on zapping enough terror dogs to unlock Diane. Now my question is: Grey Ghosts and Terror Dogs come out of the portal now. If I upgrade to level 2, will Terror Dogs still come out? Or should I just wait till after I get Diane? Thanks for any response.

You can’t upgrade the portal yet. Not for a few more days. Focus in Diane.

This is going to be another impossible quest without spending real money. Been on it nonstop since day one and I still need 4 more tarot cards to unlock ghostbuster Peter. Next 1000 fright points without buying a bunch of crappy stands? Bull

I thin you’re WAYYYYYYYYYYYY over thinking it. LOTS of players, myself included, have unlocked him with out dropping a single clam. Just relax and have fun…it’s a long event, there’s no rush for anything…well except Diane, you only have 5 days for her.

Well I been playing since the event started and everything seems easy to get. Got Dianne and Peter already without breaking a sweat and havent spent a single clam. I think they should have more stuff for us to do. I think u’re only playing the game once a day.

Why do we have to wait a week to upgrade portals? I’m already at fright level 3(so could be opening the 3rd portal right now)but still have 3 days to upgrade to just the 2nd portal. I bought all the extra buildings for the quest with clams(real money) whats the point of using real money if it wont help you get ahead in the game?

Portals and FP level are separate. They time it so people WON’T just rush and finish the event in one day…then complain they’re bored. I myself prefer the timed events.
Sit back, slow down a lil, no need to hurry. Enjoy this cool event and all the cool stuff they worked hard to put into it. More will come. Just wait. 😉

Here’s a follow-up on a related topic.. I have been at level 2 for some time now.. and earning decent amounts of FP.. but it’s not showing up in my bar on the way to lvl 3. I figured that it was frozen until my portal is upgraded, but the previous poster would lead me to believe that your FP meter should still be increasing while at lvl 2 even if the portal hasn’t upgraded yet. Should I be concerned that my FP hasn’t budged since I got to lvl 2?
LikeLike
It hasn’t moved in the lower right corner icon? Or just not noticeable…yet?
It is a LOT more than Level One, so you will not notice it filling up as fast. You can tap on it and look at the numbers and see where you are exactly xxx/1000 and track your progress there too. 😉
LikeLike
So the numbers do show up when i click the icon and see the full screen read out.. I’m at about 500/1000.. but in the main screen, there’s no bar movement. It looks the same as if I’ve just hit level 2. That’s the only thing that concerns me is that the graphic isn’t reflecting the progress.

I am getting that too.
Thought it strange, since filling it towards level 2 showed up on the main hud.
Does not really make a difference, but it is weird.

Another 6 hours pass, 1 tarot card drops. 5 more to go. It will be Wednesday or Thursday by the time I get Ghostbuster Peter. I’m getting concerned that I won’t be able to start the 1st Weekly Challenge in time, before the 2nd one comes along. I really don’t want the Google Tent, but I really DO want Ecto-1, so I’m wondering if I should just get the tent. Worst thing is it likely won’t have any use whatever once GB has been crafted.
On the bright side, my SV/FP are chugging along nicely, and even though I can’t zap any dogs yet I’m still collecting the occasional bones drop from the haunted house.
