Hello There Clammers!
American Dad has arrived in Quahog! And it seems that Stan and Roger may be up to no good. I know you are wanting to get an idea of what to expect, so here is the first section of the Walkthrough to get you started.
Remember, the walkthrough pop ups will depend on where YOU are in the quests and if you have room in your task bar for the new ones to pop up. If you do not see one showing, try clearing out a few others. Give them time to show up.

What do YOU think of the American Dad Event so far? Have you unlocked Stan yet? Are you close? Thoughts on the questline? Sound off in the comments below, you know we LOVE hearing from you!








I spent clams on speeding up the hide alien quest and now am waiting for another quest to appear. What a waste of clams and a bit naughty by the programmers……..Grrrrrr

I did the mistake of starting vinnys collection at the same time as stans without realizing vinny was timed I’ve been trying to get vinny first and only have like 36 hours left…now I’m hoping its even possible for me to even get vinny since 4 extra rare items in 3 days seems really hard to do with only 3 characters able to do it, it’s been over half my time available and I’ve only gotten 1 of them…now I’m going to be behind on the American dad event for no reason 😔

Almost got Stan and only 2 days in. Decided to get Stans house and looks good, could not resist this. Sorted out the space problem myself, realised I have a large amount of coins as being playing for a while, and not needing to spend any for a while, so dont need the revinue from all my buildings, I have put in storage lots of stuff including some buildings not needed for tasks, and my town looks nice again. Tiny are slow in expanding land so for now this is the answer for me, and quite happy.

i wish mine was massive….i already have so much stuff displayed, this extra land doesn’t amount to much more than maybe half a street once they let me put stuff there. what screwed them over is having that lake on the side, it takes up space for nothing. i truly hope they start adding substantial space in the near future. even the Simpsons game is more generous, they make take forever to add but when they do, its 1 or 2 very long strips.

It is released square by square there too though. You have to purchase each one. And it was not always that way.I remember MANY times wanting more land there too. It took them almost a year just to add the recent patch they did. They’ve had 2yrs of growing. Family Guy just started. 😉

As of this afternoon’s check I’m at 6/8 documents, and everything else I finished getting yesterday. So with a lot of luck I’ll have Stan this evening, and with a little bit I’ll have him by tomorrow morning.
Not enough space to justify getting the house even if I really wanted to spend the clams on it (got about 160 now, and will likely get the brain-damaged horse for 120 clams and get 100 back for completing the set), but it does look good. Looking forward to the rest of this event.
I will be disappointed if there isn’t some sort of interaction with Patrick Stewart for those of us who got him from comic-con, especially given one of his quotes (“Hey, I sound like that guy from American Dad!”)

Thanks for the sneak peak at what to expect later in these quest lines! The event is going pretty well so far. Almost got Stan – only need 3 classified documents. I’ve got my fingers crossed that I get 2 when I collect from tasks in a little bit. I’m not in a rush to get Stan, but I would like to take advantage of having the day off tomorrow and make some headway on the Roger challenge. I’m debating with myself whether to spend the clams to start tonight, or wait until the morning when I’ll (hopefully) have collected all the items to unlock Stan.

Even though I wanted nothing more than to have Roger in my town and finally freaked out when they gave us a teaser on Facebook, I feel that Roger won’t be Roger. He loves putting on wigs and making characters up so every event it would only make sense to give him costumes. Also I feel like any past event characters should have a little interaction with new ones even if people didn’t get them. Like Patrick Stewart getting confused for Bullock. Or Steve Smith Stalking Stan Lee or getting hunted by Freddy Krueger.

I picked up there House with the frame of mind it will only help unlock Stan a little quicker and that it looked pretty cool…that with a pretty low price point on clams made me grab it (have you seen the normal cost of buildings in events? This one is a steal). That being said if you are on as tight budget I would hold off because getting Stan isn’t a race and who knows if a guest character will show up you will want sooner or later. If you spend clams but are a bit frugal it comes down to do you like the deco..because the price point is solid. Just keep in mind that in every past event when the next phase arrives it normally means that clam building purchases from previous phases become just another decoration
LikeLike
And a very large one at that. I was leaning toward buying it at first just because it is a house but its sheer size makes it completely unusable in my neighborhood. It would ultimately end up being just another building to put in storage when the event ends. I gave it a pass & now have 5 of 8 documents in the first 30 hours collecting.

I hope Patrick Stewart has a part in this as like a side quest to get a special building or decoration such as his house on American dad

I bought the Smith house and personally, I like it. I can’t say it is the focal point of any major tasks at this point but it’s a nice looking house to add to Spooner St. that comes with a pool!

I’m on the fence about buying the Smith House. I have juuuust over 100 clams, and I’d rather save up in case another American Dad character shows up for sale. Anyone purchase the house? Was it worth it for you? The Smith House isn’t as iconic as a lot of buildings in Quahog, and it’s don’t NEED to be there. But if Stan has any fun tasks there, or if there’s no other characters, it could be worth it.
