Update: There seems to be a lot of confusion about Affection Meter Prizes & this Phase. As noted in the post below, you MUST have completed My Funny Valentine Part 13 to see anything from Phase 3 (except the Goat, he’s independent of Phase 3). This includes Affection Meter Prizes. So if you’re not getting Bonnie’s prize, check to see if you’ve completed My Funny Valentine Part 13.
Also, as noted below, Cupid won’t unlock until you’ve reached Part 6 of Can’t Buy Me Love. So until that point you won’t see his bench available for repair.
Hello There Clammers!
Week 3 of Valentine’s Day is now live! And just in time for the Oscars, it’s time to send characters on Movie dates! Ahh the perfect date…where you don’t have to talk to each other.
Back with more as we go through it…
Note: Cupid IS Timed! Once you repair the bench and find him, you’ll have 5 days to unlock. So proceed with caution! Cupid also REQUIRES the Cupid Statue from the Affection Meter. So you MUST get the Love Prize if you want to unlock Cupid. Again…if you get the Hate prize you will not be able to unlock Cupid at this time.
IF you’re close to the hate prize…you’ll still have a chance to get it in the Handmade Valentine Box. More details on it below…but if you go for the Asylum you can still win the Statue in that box.
First thing you may (or may not notice) is some changes have been made to the PDA couples…in how they look. From TinyCo:
“Enamored Couples will feature a dark-haired man with a dark gray shirt and a blonde woman with a pink shirt. They will also have pink hearts floating around them when they stop walking. Enamored Couples will stop and kiss.
Angry couples will feature a blond man with a light purple shirt and a brunette woman with a red shirt. They will also have purple broken hearts floating around them. Angry Couples will stop and fight.”
Also…you MUST have completed My Funny Valentine Pt. 13 in order to see Phase 3….
Now onto the new stuff!
New Buildings
Casaroja Move Theater- In the event area, repair for 1,000 Valentines. This will enable Move Theater Dates
Vajberry Bar and Grill- 500 Valentines, 4hr Build. Earns 10 Valentines/8hrs.
Second Chances Chapel- 75 Clams. Earns 6 Valentines, 25xp/4hrs. Always Drops Love Hearts

New Dating Options
The Casaroja Move Theater in the Event Area opens up a whole new set of dating options and prizes! Same deal as before. To send characters on dates just tap on the theater (or their task box) and pick two characters to send on a date to see their comparability. Each date lasts 4 hrs, and can earn you Love Hearts or Hate Hearts!
Special Date Combinations can also earn you special Prizes! Here’s what you can win:
Popcorn Ball Pit
Damsel in Distress Organ
SEXY Sign
Affection Meter
The final two sets of prizes are unlocked.
First up is Bonnie’s Prize:
Remember the Cupid Statue will help you get Cupid quicker
And the final prize…the long awaited quest to get Hot Meg…

Handmade Valentine Mystery Box
For 1,000 Valentines you’ll have a chance to get items you may have missed on the Affection Meter because you went the other way! It’s also a chance to get some items from the Event Area (like the Cafe)!
Note…there is currently a glitch ongoing with the Box where it won’t let you proceed. TinyCo has been alerted and they’re working on it! A patch was pushed to fix this!
Characters
Cupid
To get Cupid you’ve got to repair his Park Bench. It costs 50 Valentines and takes 4hrs. Cupid IS Timed! Once unlocked you’ll have 5 days to unlock. To unlock Cupid you’ll have to get STUFF. Here’s what you’ll need:
1,000 Valentines
Have Handsome Peter Boost Ego- x1, 12hrs
Have Glenda Order New Toys- x1, 12hrs
Get the Cupid Statue- This is the LOVE side of the Affection Meter. If you didn’t win this, you can still get it int he Handmade Valentine Mystery Box.

Good evening Bunny (well, evening over here on the Central Coast of Cali)! I know you’re probably busy getting info together for the new update, but I’m hoping for a bit of counsel… I do realize this issue has been reported already, but when trying to buy the Rupert Mystery Box I get the Consuela screen saying “Response Error Config empty for id vdayMysteryBox3_Prize 3_Reward in Reward,” then the game resets. Now, is this something I should still report in-game? Or is it super widespread enough that they are working on a big fix for us all? As always, I appreciate your help. Hop-hop! –MuMpY–

I say this with the utmost sincerity and care… if you hate the game so much. There is no joy in it to you. It just makes you miserable… then why continue to play it? I get you are frustrated but to come on our site and take it out on us is not really fair, don’t you think? We put a LOT of time, money and effort in to each and every post so it’s kind of a slap in the face to constantly make sour remarks. (That’s where WHAT THE DEUCE posts come in and are for.)
Games are meant to be enjoyed, if you have none… it would not be a bad thing to walk away. This game is not for everyone. it is not perfect not will it EVER be. Nature of the beast (almost 3yrs running on the OTHER game and still issues with it as of this moment).
So I ask you to please think it over, try to keep the negativity where it belongs on the posts we make specifically for it, and allow the hard work and effort we put into the site and each post be regarded in a much kinder manner. 😉

More than 2 hours late (as always) and still loaded with glitches (as always). 😡
One of the bad glitches: The Rupert box wasn’t even available in the store; I had to find it in the Valentine HUD and click on it from there, which rebooted my game and, when I came back, the box was now installed in the store. Now, I can’t view the prizes in the box because another code prompt comes up and reboots my game again. It says “config empty prize 1” or something. I reported it.
One of the good glitches: I noticed the movie theatre was able to be repaired before the quest for it even started. 😀 I’ve already repaired it and sent Bonnie and Joe on their date. 😛

So, despite the uproar from people upset that they missed out on the liquor store, they continue to allow us to collect hearts, and now just as many of us are about to be screwed out of collecting Cupid (including myself, who just got the Asylum,) because we chose the building that earns things instead of the plain looking deco?
Seriously about to be done with this game for good. Every single event has had some kind of broken mechanic that they have to go back and make right, and they clearly never learn from it. I’m sorry, but this is ridiculous.
LikeLike
I just read Bunny’s comment about the mystery box and how it contains the prizes we didn’t get, meaning we still have a chance at the cupid statue and Cupid himself. So I apologize for the outburst.
Still, it remains pretty ridiculous how they keep us in the dark about so many things, and the point still stands about the broken mechanics. TinyCo, to their credit, has managed to listen to the players and make it right. It’s just frustrating that that seems to have to happen every event.
