New “Terrors” Trick-Or-Treaters:

Much like the Minions for Comic-Con you’ll now have to Stink Bomb the Trick-Or-Treaters!

SIDE NOTE FROM BUNNY: These Brats spawn out by the portal, move your maze over to the exit point from the portal. This should help to start directing them. More coming as I play with some items to make mazes. Feel free to elaborate on yours too. Post pics if you’d like. 😉 

 

Trick or Treaters

 

Where you are on FP Levels as well as Districts open  will determine your Spawn Rate on these kids. Expect to see at least 2 every 30 mins Minimum and up to 6 Maximum. The total amount you will see will be at least 8 Minimum Total and up to 48 Maximum Total in your Quahog at one time. 

Collect Stink Bombs to Defeat these little “terrors” and they’ll drop items for Ghostbuster Joe, Candy Corn and more for you!

Stink Bombs

 

You can earn stink Bombs from:

-Demonic Mystery Box
-Chris- Make Stink Bombs, 8hrs
-Bonnie- Make Stink Bombs, 8hrs
-Mort- Make Stink Bombs, 8hrs
-Jake Tucker- Make Stink Bombs, 8hrs
-Pink Brian- Pretty in Pink, 4hrs
-Slutty Cat Meg- Punch Drunk Dance- 4hrs
-Purcahse Packs from the Shop (Available in packs of 1 (15 clams), 12 (150 clams) and 24 (250 clams).

Once you have Stink Bombs..here’s how you bomb the trick-or-treaters (we’ll have a full post on this later):

2014-10-17 00.39.17


The Traps also changed their timer from 6 hours down to 4 hours making it easier to get those Latchers.

 

And that about covers the Phase 3 Rundown my friends!

What do YOU think of the new additions?  Anything you’re excited to see?  Thoughts on the “minions” coming back?  How about Francis or GB Joe?  Sound off in the comments below, you know we LOVE hearing from you!

  1. This is a great update. But where do Tiny Co expect people to put all this stuff? I reckon I need about double the land I have now to make the town look any good. It just looks crammed, that’s with all the moon idol and half the comic-con stuff in my inventory. Getting a bit of joke now

  7. Week three challenge is going to be tough since you can’t stun the kids. We should be given a week to do the challenge or decrease the target number to 100.

  8. I love the updates. Always exciting. It’s looking like the kids are coming from the portal, so hopefully stink bombing them will be an easier process than when we were against the mutant Stewies. Right off the first batch, I used a stink bomb and hit the maximum amount (one went in and survived).

    Currently building two buildings and will need to save up a few thousand more FP for the others. Was tempted to unlock Francis, but after the Diane ordeal, I figure I’ll wait for you guys to update.

    • It seems it doesn’t. Had the maze since previous event. These brats don’t just spawn on roads. As soon as they spawned, they were all over the place. And they go in between buildings even if they are right next to each other.

      • Looks like they come from the portal. Tried placing a road directly in front of portal then made a maze around the road with an open end. (So they won’t scatter when they hit the road. Looks like it worked. But you would have to blast them before reaching the end of maze or they scatter.

  15. All those little trick or treaters are already gonna be a problem. There is no way to get a bunch of them together to stink bomb, tapping them has no effect. Now we have to bomb 200 of those little brats in three days? Impossible without dropping some serious clams and/or cash to get enough stink bombs to do it! Also with the large number of them running around, they are causing the game to be sluggish and skipping, like with the stewie minions. I’m more of a premium player than I used to be, but I would have to spend ALOT of clams if I want to get this challenge done. I know you girls are going through it all now, but any stategies would be greatly appreciated!

  30. New little trick-or-treaters roaming about. Bombing them with Stinkbombs. They don’t gravitate to the sidewalks like previous creeps did:( Very sad about that part. 3 days to bomb 200 of the little buggers is this weeks challenge and the bombs are received from an 8 hour quest. I really hope the quest gives multiple bombs or this one will be impossible without Clams, which means no Ghostmobile. I’m not happy about this one. Too few bombs, too long a quest to get more, they can’t be paused like the minion Stewies and they don’t stick to sidewalks. I hope Tinyco makes some tweaks there.

  35. I admit, I’m scared of this 200 trick or treaters in 3 days since they aren’t contained by roads, roam free, can’t be ‘stunned’ and the production of stink bombs seem incredibly limited (Why does Joe ask if Peter has any, Peter responds “Of course I do!” but he can’t make any?) . And now I’m gun shy on the new grave. I want to open it, but I’m terrified I’m not ‘ready’ to yet. It’s sad that a new content update is immediately viewed with such fear and doubt instead of happiness and excitement :-/

  36. This bombing 200 kids in 3 days seems like it’s gonna be a lot harder than the bombing quest for the Comic Con event. As far as I can tell the only way to get more bombs is an 8 hour quest, which has a chance for a drop or to spend clams on them, and they aren’t cheap.

    I don’t see myself getting this ghostbuster item. =(

    Also, unlike mutant-stewie during the Comicon event, these kids can’t be ‘locked’ into place by tapping them.

    When exploring which new buildings were added, I found something tucked away in the normal buildings section ie not in the event-section. Some mysterious ship called the Nostromo, who knows what that means…

  47. Unlocking Francis is just like Diane. You need three things and you only have five days once you dig him up. You need to brew the Confessional, the Pulpit, and build the Mariner’s Banquet Hall. If you do not do this in the five days you will lose Francis forever so you should prepare the items before you start to dig him up.
