Trick or Treaters: Corralling The Kids

Update: TinyCo is currently looking into “fine tuning” the trick or treaters and stink bombs.  So bare with them while they see what they can do, to accommodate all of YOUR feedback!  We’ll keep you posted if we hear/see anything else 🙂

Hey there Minions. Getting annoyed at the lil kids? Trying to figure out how you can catch and Stink Bomb the lil Brats? Well I am here to help you out.

Trick or Treaters 1

Now that the newest Portal has been opened, crazy lil kids hopped up on sweeties are running mad around our lil Quahogs. Many are trying to figure out just what to do with them. How do we stop them? How on earth can you get the amount you need for the Challenge? Let’s break it down.

First some basic STATS for the Kids…

WHEN DOES THE CHALLENGE START?
The newest Challenge in your quest to acquire Ecto-1 is to get Zuul’s Portal. In order to do that, you will need to clear 200 Trick or Treaters in 3 days. So here is my suggestion, this quest triggers by Peter shortly after you clear the initial 5 Trick or Treaters triggered by Joe. So hold off if you can, stock up on Stink Bombs, and get a Maze or strategy built to get as many as you can in one Stink Bomb Drop.

Trick or Treaters

SPAWN RATES?
The lil Trick or Treaters will spawn out of the Portal area with the changes to the spawn rates, they now also spawn on sidewalks. 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.

So this means the Levels you are on will impact the amount you see and the total amount running around after a few hours. For myself, I notice the FP Level impacted the spawns the most. So make sure if you are getting close to another FP Level, that you are prepared for more to come running out of the Portal and Sidewalks . If you are wanting to get the most out of each Stink Bomb…wait a lil while to let the kids pile up, then hit as big of a group as you can.

If you already hit your MAX and have them running round your town, no more will spawn out of the Portal/Sidewalks (no matter what the timer says as it is just set) until you clear the ones currently running around and no longer are at a MAX.

Stink Bombs

 

WHAT DO I USE TO GET RID OF THEM? 
You will need to use Stink Bombs you collect to destroy the lil Kids. How do you get them? Here a the locations you can find them.

Now for some fun…

HOW DO I CORRAL THE KIDS?
I tested this theory out last Event and it worked pretty well. This time around is a lil more tricky as the kids just go n go n go n go, so my best suggestion is to form a “Tunnel” effect and direct them all to a specific location. To do this, I made mazes. I used only supplies from the list of Halloween items you can currently get. I used a mix of them…all held up.

I started out by directing the “traffic” coming out of the portal area down into my maze. Then I routed them back and forth until the exited out. This gives me a focal area I can Stink Bomb and hit many at one time. You need an entrance and an exit. You also need to leave it wide enough to allow for walking room. Too narrow and it may force them to just walk on through it all and not follow the path. (I also have my town cut in half right down the middle at all times. This allows me to make a break point to funnel anything to the center.)

With the changes and update to the Trick or Treaters, they are now spawning both at the Portal and on your sidewalks. Due to this, the double maze can help. One to catch as they come out the top, the other to catch as they spawn out the sidewalk and/or to corral those that got away.

Maze 1

 

I also placed a maze at the other end to direct the Trick or Treaters that got away back into a maze formation to make them easier targets.

Maze 2

 

 

 

This is my lil game and the Maze I built around the main sidewalk (only sidewalk) area to help trap them and keep them to specific zones of my town. Bunny Maze

 

 

Now at first some of the kids WILL walk through the items, but as they get used to the new placement of items they will start to follow the newly set route. It will just take a lil patience to let them start to follow the paths.

MAze 3

 

There is another way you can hit many kids at once, but you will need to act quickly and have Stink Bombs at the ready. Stay out of your game for about 2 hours to let the kids pile up. Then go back in your game and immediately go to the edge of the Portal/Halloween area. As soon as you see the Trick or Treaters start to spawn, drop a Stink Bomb. Depending on YOUR spawn rates, you can get a good group of them this way. Some may still get loose and you will have to catch them in other areas in your town. They will stop occasionally to Spray Paint, but not for too long.

With the changes to the Spawn of Trick or Treaters, be careful as they now spawn on sidewalks too. So you have multiple points of attack to focus on. 

Trick or Treaters 2

After you do hit some, you will also see some silly phrases pop up. Here are a few.

Stink Bomb 0 Stink Bomb 1 Stink Bomb 2 Stink Bomb 3 Stink Bomb 4 Stink Bomb 5 Stink Bomb 6 Stink Bomb 7 Stink Bomb 8 Stink Bomb 9 Stink Bomb 10 Stink Bomb 11 Stink Bomb 15

 

There you go. A bit of a breakdown and some help for those of you trying to get these lil brats out of your game. Lol. Was this helpful to you? Have any tips of your own? Have pics of YOUR maze(s) that you would like to share? Feel free to let us know in the comments below.

  6. Here is another maze idea, very effective, I get the max 15 hit rate. I am a freemium player, but with the 6 non-premium characters on stink-bomb duty, I’ve been getting 3-4 stink-bombs per 4 hours. I’ve been playing the ToT numbers for 20 hours only, and have already caught 115/150 with this maze. I didn’t want rearrange my city, so I cleared out just one block and deleted all of my roads except for what you see at the left of the maze. All four entrances pour into the roads. Entrance 2 is rarely used, 1 and 4 have the most traffic. Today I’ve been playing once an hour, killing the ToT’s right when they spawn on the road. After I do this, I clear the screen of items, exit, then end the process on my tablet (as suggested, I don’t know if this is necessary to prevent spawning when you’re not in the game. Hope this helps, and thanks TinyCo for this very fun and addicting game!

  7. I totally lucked out with these little (bleepers). My challenge clock was down to between 1 and 2 hours left to complete (so no more task bombs time left). I had 147 and was at zero bombs thinking I had to buy one to get the final 3. I then noticed that one of my building had a checkmark I missed and it turn out to be Bruce with final needed one (and of course when I only needed 3 I scored my first double digit kill-10). The reason I missed him was because I have had to destroy my Quahog to battle these little wandering menaces and all my buildings are in unfamiliar places around my town now.

    I wish that when I am in build mode and attempt to move a building into place, it doesn’t scroll the screen. They really need to add scroll buttons (to move map) and allow me to just drag the item I am trying to place on currently viewed part of town. I have wasted hours trying to line up items only for the screen to shift at the last second and drop the item I was moving in the wrong place. Then I cannot pick up item again and the screen keeps sliding back and forth as I try to get it. Sorry, this became a WTH post.

  10. The problem for me was that they didn’t really DO much at all. They went from 200 to 150, but you still couldn’t freeze the kids, the characters rarely dropped bombs, traps like mazes didn’t work well. So, they expected us still to get an unreasonable amount of kids. They should’ve just extended it to the next portal update, it’s not like it would’ve made that much of a difference. I mean, not that any of the gifts are legitimately useful, the Ecto-1 would just be a deco taking up space we don’t have, but they could’ve been more even-handed about it.

  11. I’m not sure if this only happened to me but since I finished the 200 trick or treat quest, these kids no longer spawn at the portal. I have cleared the entire map of them and waited plenty of time and they just kept spawning everywhere but at the portal. I’m jot complaining because as I said I did finish the quest very easily when they were all only spawning at the portal but now that they don’t it has become to much of a chore to even hunt them down unless I see a goo dc luster of them.

I do appreciate your comments but in this case they do not apply to my situation.

I’m right now fretting about not getting the Ecto-1 due to being around 40 kids off the target with approximately 3 hours left…

  16. Dont know if Tiny have changed things as my maze by the portal did not work yesterday at all, and they were all over my town. Bit the bullit and used clams to get the Alien with the bonus 12 bombs, aftre building his ship, better value than buying just the bombs also got Francis who also collects bombs, and was lucky with the box prize winning the toy factory first time, the one I most wanted as fits in well post Halloween, so had everyone collecting bombs, and to my surprise trick and treaters swarmed into my maze this morning, and with all the bombs collected kept bombing, previously got 6 at the most, then hit 12 in one go. Just completed it with a couple of hours left, never thought I would as was still 65 short this morning with only about 14 hours left after collecting just over half in just over two and a half days. If this is down to Tiny thank you, and if down to this forum as I belive is so a very BIG thank you.

I’m on portal 4 + working towards collecting things for ghostbuster Joe – but I haven’t got anything to bomb! (Or any characters given the task of collecting bombs). Is there something I need to do? Or is it a glitch, and should I contact TinyCo?

    • Well hello there. LOVE me some international fans. 😉

      It all depends on what you also have clogging up your task bar. If you have too many open and unfinished, then no new tasks can pop up. Try to clear some no matter how old they are and see if that helps trigger the new stuff.

      As long as you upgraded to the newest portal, Joe will start the dialog instructional for the bombs. After you drop them on 5 kids…then Peter will shortly after start another dialog for the challenge. Give it a try and let us know. 😉

  20. The method is fairly simple now, guys, given the changes. Clear out all of your asphalt, then put one, and only one, right up near the Trick or Treater Portal. Yes, it makes it a pain to kill ghosts, but it’s only until the timed bombing task is complete. Now kill off 15 or so kids as quickly as you can, and exit out of the game. Do whatever you need to do to make sure the game isn’t still running in the background. Now, come back about 2 hours later, and immediately load up a stink bomb and wait. If you put your asphalt as close as you can to the portal, aim right at the upper edge of the asphalt. Otherwise, put it between the two, closer to the asphalt (you can’t get all that close to the portal anyway). Wait. When you see the puffs of smoke indicating the kids appearing, fire away. It has to be very quick (though not so quick as with the Minion Stewies). You should get all of the kids who appeared on the asphalt, and if you timed it right and/or are aiming close enough to the portal, you’ll get all those as well. If not, a single mop up bomb should get the rest once they move far enough down. Quickly finish/assign tasks (all of the bomb-making tasks should be running), then exit the game. Wait two hours and repeat. With luck (and a few stockpiled bombs beforehand to get that magical first 15), you’ll reach that 150 quicker than you think.

  21. I was far from the goal before they updated the trick or treaters. The best bet now is to have only one small patch of street – this is where the treaters will spawn. Bomb as many as you can while still having a few bombs on hand. Set the game aside for a few hours. When you load it up again, immediately go to your street segment. I got 15 in one bomb when before I was getting 3.

  22. I don’t know how the heck you’re getting any success in corralling them. I built a maze just like you and everyone else and they just flat out walk right over the borders and go wherever the heck they please. They stay nowhere. I removed all of my roads except for a small strip but the only discernible pattern I can gleen from them is they follow somewhat my old road pattern. I haven’t been without success though as they do tend to get bunched up in the center of my map coming and going and I have a pretty easy kill zone at a certain point if I wait a minute or two.

    • It may have something to do with what you made your maze out off.
      I did mine with Well Trimmed Bushes I had in inventory, just like i did with minion stewies. they started to through the containment wall (tho many did still rush to the zig zag exit).
      I remembered that the mazes in this post all used halloween even items and switched my bushes out for the halloween plants I already had and bought a few more to make my containment wall. That seems to be stopping them from scattering to tomthe wind as soon as the appear.

      but I am pretty quick on the trigger, I drop the bomb as soon as the smoke puffs appear 😉

      • I’ve had great luck by making a wall of buildings through the middle of my town (offices or like) that forces the kids into my hedge maze in the middle. Kind of a pinch point… They all bunch up while trying to get to the other side of town! I hit between 10-15 every time depending on how impatient I am. My maze is made of well trimmed hedges too, so not sure it matters to use only Halloween decos. 🙂

    So went to bombing small groups to clear 15 of them, waited an hour and went back in.
    I was paying closer attention and the lil buggers spawned IMMEDIATELY, with no waiting period at all. I had to scramble to get my sights on them and it still took 2 bombs to get them all.
    Also I sweat some of them either spawned outside the maze (indicating they may have given them a radius around a street) or either the just ran right through the hedge maze (indicating they may have been programmed to bust out of mazes)

    Like

    • I think you are misunderstanding my words. That is too bad. I am just giving a point of view that is pretty true to fact. It IS what you put into the game. How you play it will determine your results.

      If you spend vials needlessly, then you may not get the most FP out of them that you could have by purchasing something else. If you unlock one character before another, that can help or inhibit your next phase of play. If you tap here n there throughout the day, that could change what results you see vs always in the game. If you use strategies to get the most bang out of your buck, that can be helpful in the long run. If you took advantage of deals or bargains or even Freebees when they were offered, that can change the game completely instead of later having to use clams. If you make clam purchases in the game, those can help you get further quicker vs just playing Freemium and getting by.

      If something did not work for you, it does not mean I was wrong…it just means it didn’t work. Many are having great success at this game and using the mazes to complete the Challenge fast. I did not tell you that you MUST do it. I offered an option of what worked for me. The choice was and always is yours in any aspect with this game.

      Instead of thinking tunnel vision, look more at the bigger picture I am stating. It is true in this game as it is true in life. What you do or don’t do today can impact what comes tomorrow.

      There is no need to take out your frustrations on me just because you assume I am not helping. Sorry you feel that way, but you could not be more wrong. I even point out in my post that some WILL walk through. That is just the beast of the game coding. But…they also WILL start to follow the path. Patience.

  45. Mean buildings be used in making fences? I have spent so much time and coin trying to guide the little bastards and spending over 100,000 coin on fencing and they just go around it. Outside of the boundaries! :/ I’ve spent hours rearranging my town and fences to guide them or group them and they keep going around or not using them. My characters have just started dropping bombs after the 200 to 150 change so I’m waiting to try the bomb when they come out of the portal method. But there still isn’t enough time! 😦 and if we all fail this challenge, all the other weekly challenges don’t really matter cuz we can’t get the ghostbusters car anyways. Please extend the time! I love this game and family guy and this challenge has been beyond challenging but impossible if you didn’t ace it from the get go. From reading comments a lot of people feel the same way. Please help! 😩😓😔

  46. By the time they had dropped the spawn, I already had half of the trick or treaters dealt with thanks to a few hits of fifteen at the portal

    Also it appears that they reduced the recharge time of the trap to four hours

    Remember, light is green, trap is clean

  47. I still haven’t got the new challenge. I finished the 5 kids task by joe but haven’t got the challenge after. Or do i only get the challenge after i finished the task where i have to craft the iron maiden?

  48. The point of the game is to create a town and not destroy it or rearrange it during every event. Creating mazes are maybe fun, but some people do have a life 😉 . Bombing minions, trick or treaters, same on same old…creative ideas are welcome!

    • It is NOT required. As in ANY game out there…there is always alternate ways of playing. Ways to improve or change the gaming to what YOU want it. This is that, just an option. You do not HAVE to do it. But that does not mean that others don’t want to know how. If the post does not fit what you want, then it is not for you. Another post you may like while another player does not. We provide variety, it is up to you to make your own choices. 😉

  49. Curious to know if the stinkbombing of kids is a cumulative thing? So when everyone started the mission were you at 0 / 200 (or 150 as it is now), or did the kids you bomb previously already count towards the count?

    I’m currently not clicking on Peter to start off this mission and trying to stockpile around 40-50 stinkbombs so I can just take out the kids as they spawn and not have to worry too much about the time and a lack of stinkbombs. At least that’s my plan!

    • We have found in the past that until the task triggers, there is no way for the game to count anything towards it…as it doesn’t exist yet. Make sense?

      • Certainly does!… I just noticed that I had already taken out 5 kids before doing the mission that requires you to take out 5 kids (can’t remember the mission name off the top of my head) and they counted, as I auto completed that mission as soon as it popped up.

        Was hoping that it didn’t start at 0/150, but sounds like it does!… shall keep stockpiling stinkbombs and start this quest later in the week.

        Clicking on the terror dogs lets me start missions with Peter without starting off this quest so i’ll keep on with that.

        Thank you for all your work, couldn’t get by without all the info here!

  50. What is the stink bomb drop rate? My husband’s characters drop bombs every time. I have every char possible working on them and a 50% chance is good for me.
