Valentine’s Day Is Here!

Update 2/6 9:15 am EST: I know many of you are having issues with the PDA couples.  They’re rough, I know.  Here’s a tip that many readers have mentioned in the comments & something Bunny & I have found to work as well…Watch the limbs when they stop.  If his leg goes up it’s a heart if her arm goes up it’s a broken heart.   So make sure you’re watching when they STOP.    And I know 2 minutes is rough to watch/tap…best thing to do if you think you need more time is send a request to TinyCo.  We know they listen, so hopefully they’ll make an adjustment if enough people feel it’s needed.  Good Luck!

UPDATE BUNNY: A more detailed post of the Couples is coming up really soon. It really comes down to just watching them. 😉

Also, there’s an update on Arnold below..including WHY you should buy him.

Hello There Clammers!

Valentine’s Day has arrived in Quahog!  Oh look how lovey everything is!

2015-02-05 23.27.53Looks like Ida Davis is making an appearance &  I like to think that has a little something to do with our Brian’s Lover poll

You might see this message…

2015-02-06 02.11.16

Just tap go and you’ll be good 🙂

As always more details as we go through them….

Note: Ida Davis IS timed!  Do NOT repair the Park Bench until you’re ready.  You will have 5 days to unlock once you’ve completed the repair (after you hit the check mark).  Details on what’s needed to unlock below,

A couple of initial observations…the snow is gone and Quahog is green again!

The event ends on February 26th.  So it’s  a shorter event…but still should be fun!

So now, as we always do, let’s start things off with the new items available for purchase & then we’ll break down some of the finer event details.

Event Area

Valentine Area

Like events of Tiny Quahog past…there’s an event district located in the top center of your Quahog.  Here’s what it looks like:

2015-02-06 02.19.03

Remember…you cannot move buildings/decorations inside of this area.

Tapping on the giant heart in the middle will bring up the Affection Meter.


The Affection Meter

2015-02-06 02.21.20

 

2015-02-06 02.41.49

 

Per TinyCo’s FAQ:

What is the Affection Meter?
You can build either Love or Hate in the Affection Meter by shooing Enamored Couples (Hearts) or Angry Couples (Broken Hearts). When you reach one end of the Affection Meter, you’ll win a prize! 

You can view the Affection Meter by tapping on the cupid’s big, illuminated heart. 
The prizes for Love and Hate are different, so be sure to take a look at the Affection Meter page in the event hub for a list of prizes. You can only choose one!

LoveLove Heart

Hate Hate Heart

So you can only choose 1 path in Quahog…either Love or Hate.  So choose wisely.  Here’s a look at the first few prizes:

2015-02-06 02.17.14

 

More Info About the Affection Meter on This Post


The Couples

2015-02-06 02.46.58

There are two types of couples…Fighting Couples and Enamored Couples.  BUT they’re the exact same couple.  What determines which heart you get is when you tap on them.  You have to watch them closely…if he starts to dip her… you will get a love heart and they will start walking again shortly after… if she starts to yell at him…gotta be ready cuz she will slap him and you got to tap them between that yelling and smack to get hate heart.  So pay attention to what they’re doing to make sure you get the right one.

Enamored Couples Enamored Couples

 

Fighting Couples Angry Couple

So what’s the spawn rate?  (again from TinyCo’s FAQ)
Couples will spawn every four hours. After they appear, these couples will only be available for two minutes. Shoo them away before they get a room!  

Remember when they appear you only have 2 minutes to clear them.  A timer will appear in your game in the bottom right corner.  Watch it to make sure you get them all before time runs out!

More Info About the Couples on This Post


Game Currency 

The Game Currency for this event is Valentines Cards.  These will be used to purchase unique event items & unlock various characters (you’ll need them for Handsome Peter for example).

Homemade Valentine's

Various characters have Valentine earning tasks.  We’ll cover who can do what in another post…but they are out there.  You’ll also earn 25 Valentines each time you complete part of the questlines for the Event.  And they’ll also drop from event themed buildings.

Tunnel of Self-LoveBuild the Tunnel of Self Love- 800 Valentines, 8hr Build


What About Arnold?

Arnold is supposed to be part of this phase of the event.  He is premium (250 Clams) BUT i’ve yet to uncover how to get him.  Per TinyCo’s FAQ:

After you start “Clams and Muscles Pt.1,” Arnold Schwarzenegger will become available to purchase in the shop (along with the Action Hero Jet 2600) for 250 clams.  

TinyCo has changed the FAQ to show it’s now when Beautiful People ends.  Will finish that up and let you know what I find out.

Update: Finally got to a point where I’m able to purchase Arnold.  He comes with the Hero Jet, which earns Valentines.

Here’s the benefit to Arnold…he has TWO actions that drop hearts. (broken or regular)  Each time you complete it you’ll get 3 hearts (I’m fairly sure it’s an always drop.  I’ve done it 3 times and gotten hearts each time.  Pretty sweet since each action is only 4hrs to complete!

arnold

I’ve completed all the questlines (except for Beautiful People, there’s a part where you’ll need to clear 8 PDA couples so I’m held up at that), unlocked Handsome Peter & Ida Davis…yet I still don’t see the option to buy Arnold.  I’ve sent a message to TinyCo about it & will let you know what happens once I know.


Questlines

LOTS of levels to the questlines for this.  I’m working to get all of the questlines up soon but here are some details for those who like to know…

And those are all of the details for the 2015 Valentine’s Day Event!  I know some of you are wondering about sending characters on dates…I suspect this is something we’ll see in the next update.  As well all know by now, TinyCo likes to keep things fresh in the game during events by releasing new content every week.  So we’ll see what the next update brings 🙂

  1. I just got the option for a Valentine’s skin for founding fathers, 100 clams. Having a lot of trouble with the couples, I think I’m tapping when they will drop a heart but it still seems like a constant toss up. I played the brain box and got 150 clams the first time then quagmires bed the second. Those couples though geeeesh. They are going to be difficult!

  4. Is there a non-clam/quest related way to get v-day cards? And what’s with the first quest taking like 200cards to start…not showing a single character task for anything related to the new event other than Herbert’s task which is locked. Is it supposed to be like this or it it just a glitch-fest?

  7. Everything looks cool so far except for those couples technique.

    • Work on collecting cards & then go for Ida. You’ll need to get the Self-Love tunnel for Ida and it takes a lot of cards. Build those up and then repair the bench. In the mean time get Handsome Peter while you’re working on collecting cards

      • I am noticing on this event that I am not able to send tasks to earn the items for Ida ahead of time – will those tasks not pop up until after the build?

        • Exactly. You can’t start collecting until you “find her”. I recommend earning enough valentines to get the self love tunnel before you “find” Ida. That will most likely be the hardest task

  14. Easier to see hat than love. Every time their hot an heavy get a broken heart. So I get five hates then several loves and next thing I know back to zero. Even when they are smooching it up I sometimes get a hat. Frustration on an android phone. Also is peter suppose to be in the costumes do not see him nor do the boys or anyone else capable of dropping cards? Am I missing something hit the update button and all. Got the screen tutorial just no Peter to earn???

  15. Characters that had 24hr tasks that paid Holiday Cheer for the Christmas event (Mr. Weed, Predator, etc) now pay Valentines Cards AND Holiday Cheer during this event. Also, when PDA couples spawn in Quahog, 3 or 4 of them are snowmen. LOL I reported both issues to TinyCo already. 🙂

  16. I’m a bit confused about the angry and enamored couples. I made sure to tap on them while they were kissing and I still received broken hearts.

    It would be a lot easier if they were either different color sets or not timed. Pretty frustrating since my vision is meh and having to zoom all the way in on each one takes time and so far doesn’t seem to even work for me.

    Looks like a good event, I am a little disappointed that Ida is timed, but I did expect something to be timed. My only questions are how can we play matchmaker? I already came up with some good ideas for the Matchmaker part.

Rather than annoying number of drones just walking all over your town, now you have to zoom in on each individual one, watch them, hope they don’t go behind a building, or risk losing them after a couple of minutes. What on earth was tinyco thinking?? I hope there are plenty of other ways to get hearts.
