He there Clammers. Dropping on by for a quick run down of Roger’s lil Challenge that was added to the game for the American Dad Event.
Shortly after you unlock Stan Smith during the Clam Day Catastrophe Part 3, you will see a pop up appear that will start off Roger’s Challenge. The Magic Drunken Challenge.
Once started, you will have 4 days to help Stan Hide Roger a total of 10 times. In order to be able to do this, you can do two things…
Keep an eye out on the sidewalks for Roger to appear, start drinking, and wobbling around. 
Or just keep an eye on Stan’s Tasks. If Roger has reappeared in town, the option to Hide Roger will be available in Stan’s Tasks. 
If he is currently not in town, Stan’s task to Hide Roger will be locked.
Either way you do it, it will just take one hour total for Stan to complete the task to Hide Roger. Stan will find him and try to take away his drink. This leads Roger to slap Stan and a Slap Fight will ensue.
Once the task is complete, Stan will grab a hold of Roger in a bag and Roger will disappear again for 4 more hours. (For some, you may see him back quicker. Just keep an eye out.)
After you have completed the tasks to have Stan Hide Roger Ten times, you will win the Golden Turd.
The Golden Turd will then be placed in your Inventory in the Decorations section. Just locate it to place it in your town. 
The Golden Turd sits on a 2×2 base. Pretty decent sized. Lol.
And that pretty much wraps up the Challenge. Not too hard. Fairly simple. Ten 4hr tasks, 1hr to complete all ten of the tasks, a total of 50hrs set aside to do it in after unlocking Stan. Pretty simple.
Now I am sure you are wondering, what about Roger? I want him in my game. Well no worries, there is still more coming in this fun new American Dad Event. The game gave us a lil peek at that.
So there is a few more people you got to bring into the game first before you get to keep Roger around. We will post those details once they go live. 😉
FYI, you will have the ability to still Hide Roger after completing this. So you can still have fun with the task.
What do you think of this Challenge? Have you started it yet? Have you completed it yet? What do you think of the Golden Turd? Let us know.

As you can see…the Challenge was ONLY for the Golden Turd. NOT Roger. Roger was just a part of Stan’s task. He is NOT in the game just yet as an actual character. This is similar to Slimer and the Ghostbuster skins. Slimer was just a part of the tasks. Nothing more.
Roger will be brought in as a Character later in the event. So just wait til that option is given. In the meantime you can keep sending Stan to “Hide Roger” if you want to see him.

Hi! So last night the golden turd task ended for me and unfortunately I was not able to complete it (9/10). So today I was checking my game around 1:00. And Stan had the exclamation point above his head, so I clicked and the golden turd quest popped up, giving me four days and still on 9/10. So it looks like I will get the golden turd after all, but do you know if this is a glitch or if they just gave everyone who didn’t get it a second chance?

As pointed out in this post, you do not “win” Roger. You only win the Golden Turd. Roger is just a random linked to Stan’s tasks right now. He won’t be available as an actual character until later in the game. We will post the details on him when he is actually released. 🙂

4 days=96 hours. (1 hr/task + 4 hr respawn) * 10 clears = 50 hrs, – 4 hrs because you won’t need him to respawn a tenth time =46 hrs. 96 possible hours – 46 task hours =50 hours to pay attention to. Now… assuming you pay close attention, this is nearly two days of paying attention. If you don’t set alarms, you have around 34 hours to play with. Plan a bathroom or lunch break cleverly, set alarms… this’ll be a breeze. Pretty much just understand that it’s not a good idea to take a quest for vacation once you start.

Roger respawned a lot quicker than every 4 hrs. for me and I’ve seen other players have mentioned this. That’s why some of us already have the golden turd and didn’t have to use clams to speed up the task.

I don’t mind Roger appearing earlier than the 4 hours. Heck it’s been only about 14 hours since I activated the challenge and without using clams to speed things up I am already at 5, so I have plenty of time.

I just got started last night, but am noticing this exact same spawn pattern. Every four hours (3, 7, 11 o’clock Eastern Time, which is the 12, 4, 8 rotation on the west coast). Most all of the game’s creatures that spawn periodically have a pattern like this. If you don’t see a Roger immediately upon getting in the game after one of these hours, give it a minute or two and he should appear. Just like minions, clowns, the nerds. They all spawn based on a computer code that has not changed much over the months.

I think I remember Roger leaving a golden turd by an electricity power station, or something like that, and an utility worker found it in the bushes. Can anyone remember more times this turd made an appearance? And what was it Roger ate to produce the golden goody? Will I ever out grow toilet humor?

Where it came from is coming up on it. 😉

Hmm I believe he ate really spicy burritos after he and Steve wanted to know what special abilities he had as an alien and had the runs which produced the turd which he didn’t notice was jewel encrusted gold and after the power station scene the worker showed it to a friend who got jealous and killed him for it. Racked with guilt the second worker drove his car into a train and died. Then an old cop found it at the suicide scene and took it home. Feeling guilty he took evidence from the scene he was going to return it but his wife poisoned him to sell the turd for money. After this I can’t remember if it came out again but I’m sure it has. Sorry if this was long but I basically grew up watching these shows and have a good long term memory. Have a good Night!
