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.


Handsome Peter

After you start Beautiful People Pt. 6 you’ll get the trigger for Ida Davis.  My Fair Lady will start up.  You’ll have to repair the Park Bench, which can be found in the Valentine’s Day Event Area.  It takes 8hrs and costs 50 Valentines.

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 🙂

What are your thoughts on Valentine’s Day?  Thoughts on Ida Davis being added to the game?  How about Handsome Peter finally joining our towns?  Thoughts on the PDA couples?  Which path are you going to take?  Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!

  1. Hi. Keep a close eye on the couples. If it’s Purple Hearts they give off it will be a broken heart, if it’s red, it will be a red heart. Took a while to work that one out. Have fun

    Like

    • Hi. Just to clarify. When the couples stop, they give off purple or red heart ‘bubbles’. That’s the colour hearts you get when you tap them. Must say, not the easiest challenge they’ve given us.

    All of the items in the store now say “Go”. This is a major problem because some players may accidentally buy premium stuff. When i click go on anything it atomatically prompts me to just place the object without any idea of what it will cost. 😦

  14. Shooing away couples is turrible, just turrible.. I’m surprised to say it, but I’d rather throw bombs than clicking them.

    I’m shooting for love hearts for Quagmire and I’ve been at 14 a few times only to knock myself down to 8 or 9.

    Many thanks for posting hints on when to tap them. That is at least giving me a shot, but i foresee myself not really fooling around with them in their current state. I’ll just have to hope i can get outfits/characters the old fashioned way without help from buildings/skins pertaining to the love meter.. *sighs*

  15. Why the HECK would they require you to finish a quest line just to be able to buy arnold. I have no qualms in buying premium chars. I actually always do. These premium chars always give an advantage to these events. My gripe is why would they have me wait to spend my clams to get the most benefits out of it, by requiring me to finish an outfit first. It is not like these outfits can be obtained just like that (unless you speed them up with clams). I am already paying for the character. Why would they waste my time by having me wait/work for it.

  19. I guess I am confused by the couples.. Sometimes I click them when they are kissing and I get the heart I am supposed to, the red one.. Other times I get the purple. Sometimes when they are waking I get a red and sometimes purple. It’s just so inconsistent. I had two standing right next to each other doing the same thing and clicked them both, got one red and one purple. I just wish there was a clear cut way to tell when you would get each color..

      They will spawn ANYWHERE there is roads and usually within 2 minutes of entering your game for the first time AFTER the now 3 hour mark. So try also to force close and reset your game to see if that triggers them to pop up. 😉

        • Keep the force close in mind. I know that sometimes the game needs a lil “kick” to let it know you went out and came back in to trigger the spawn. Force close usually does that. So … if after 3 hours now… you do not see them, try it. 😉

I don’t even have a crush on it.

  46. I think three minutes would be perfect. I also watch the couples eyes if they are blocked by buildings/ect. Angry couples open their eyes and enamored keep them closed…. Angry separate and enamored stay in the embraced position. I just miss out because I follow them while they walk in their random pattern and it takes so long for them to stop and show what they are!! Honestly it took me a few rounds but now I’m confident in my ability to at least get the desired heart that I want, thanks to you guys 🙂 still, with the two minutes I’m stuck with only getting 3-4 of the hearts I want, unless I get impatient- which sucks because it usually counts against what I’m going for. I have 14 hearts right now for quagmire. Hopefully in four more hours I will get my prize.

    I’m totally going to send tinyco an in game message requesting more TIME for the PDAS! I hope everyone else does too!
