Valentine’s Day Phase 3 Is Here!

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.

Romancing the Clam

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!

  1. I have one last question. I already obtained the voodoo shop, but hot meg did not drop into my mystery box. However, the pda couples are still appearing, so is there another step to getting hot meg in the mystery box?

  2. Do you have more specifics for the quest lines at the bottom of this post as far as which tasks are needed and how long they take? I like to get ahead and start the next task before the current one is complete I just don’t click on it until after the current is finished so it actually counts. I am a bit behind as well, 5 more hearts until I get the cupid statue, 6 fans left to unlock cheryl, just started can’t buy me love pt. 2, she’s all that pt. 1, and rolling to the movies. Completing multiple tasks at one time is the only way I know how to catch up besides using precious clams! Thank you guys so much!!! This site is awesome!

Cheryl is almost unlocked, and I have seven hearts because I did go for the statue like you suggested. So now with only seven love hearts should I switch over to the hate harts for the Meg prize? I have over 14,000 Valentines, so I would have more than enough to try to win it in the prize box. Just want your thoughts because I would be having to backtrack my love hearts. Thanks for everything you guys have put out there it has totally helped my game.

    • If you have the Valentine’s to spend… go for the lesser of the two and probably easier to reach. The Hate. It all depends on how quickly you want Meg due to you have to Lose her in the Affection Meter first to have her drop in the Mystery Box. How has your heart collection been? Easy going on Love? Can you get 350 quickly?

    I found Your site a couple of months ago, and you really helped me a lot. Thank you! You girls are doing a great job, and its a real shame, that you dont get any clams for free from TC.
    And there’s one more thing that made me mad. I got that Asylum, not the Cupid statue, because that was optional. And now I just saw in Your post, that this Cupid statue is a MUST. I spent over 8k Valentines for the box, and still dont have that statue. So why do you must have the statue, when it was optional? I think so many players went to the hate site back then, so its unfair…

    • TinyCo actually just recently is gifting us a handful here and there. It is really kind of them. They do listen. Nothing compared to what we put out monthly, but for them to offer it is MORE than any other gaming house has done for us. So I myself am very grateful. Less money out of my pocket. 🙂

      There is a way around it to Clam buy out the option instead of getting the Statue, but try to win it for Valentine’s instead of using precious clams.

      I know it is hard to not know what is coming, but that surprise element is what makes a game fun. This event they made those PDA couples REALLY easy to get so everyone got ahead of themselves in the game. Had people waited just a bit, they would have been able to see the items uses BEFORE getting it the moment the phase launched. So… its also on players side to demand less of a challenge, get ahead TOO far, and not allow time to get full details of an item before jumping in.

      It’s like buying a car without a test drive first…. you don’t know what you are getting into. 😉

      Just see how it plays out for you over the next few days. 🙂

    • It you are WAY behind, they may be worth it instead of speeding tasks to get hearts. It all depends on your collection. It is 10 a drop. So base that with what YOU have unlocked and what characters YOU can send to get the same amount or more in same time.

      • That’s not what I’m trying to say. I’m trying to say that TinyCo should of let us know ahead of time that the cupid statue would be a requirement. It didn’t have to be a full out reveal but a hint so that we are able to grind towards love instad of hate. I went towards hate and now I’m regretting it. Considering that I already have the building and I wanted another building. That’s why it’s not a smart move. Also for the fact like I said above, if the box goes in order of the prizes which it seems according to when I hit the box three times, I would have to spend either 7000-9000 hearts. To be honest, that’s a lot of hearts. For someone like myself of others, we may not be able to get to that much before the event ends unless a miracle. happens. That’s why I’m disappointed at TinyCo. Not for the alernate prizes being an option. I like that idea but it’s the fact of spending my hearts to try to just get the statue. Also that I have to spend 1000 hearts regardless. Also, I’m also disappointed at the point that I contacted TinyCo about the app update not hitting the app store yet or even at all. Not sure why though. But the android market got the update so it let users to know about when the next wave of PDA couples would come. This is really annoying and frustrating that I have to guess about for when the couples spawn. Even sometimes when they spawn 2 hours.

    • I got the cupid statue from the mystery box on my 1st and only try, so no you don’t necessarily need 7k hvs to get cupid statue. I cheated ahead myself and had to double back and grind an extra day to get the liquor store I wanted. Then I cheated ahead again for the asylum and had to get cupid from mystery box instead. But I can’t blame TinyCo, they didn’t force me to cheat ahead for the next prize. It was my choice my own decision so just have to live with the consequences.

  45. Well, I was one of the fools who went for the building instead of the cupid statue and had already committed to more than enough “hate” before realizing the importance of that silly statue. By then it was far too late to collect enough to erase all of that AND get the statute AND have enough time after all that to go for Hot Meg. I only had like 4,500 Valentines somehow, even playing a lot, because of either using them to buy too much of the optional junk or not having enough people doing Valentines quests…. Unfortunately the first 4 boxes haven’t been the statue, so I’ll keep trying. Yikes. This game can be frustrating.

  50. Like every event, this one is heavily bugged, and phase 3 is pretty much totally broken. It still has not fully activated because the current meter prize is still a ? and says check back later. The meter is either broken or there is something now where love is added on a regular timer which screws up trying to get hate prizes. Every time I open the game in the last day there is less hate than I had before. I get more hate from the couples and dates, then next time I have less again. I have lost over 70 hate across 6 such incidents in the last 24 hours. Seems the insane asylum is an impossible thing to get because of these bugs. It should only take 125 from the image posted, and I’ve been well over 125 several times and it hasn’t triggered because it’s not actually unlocked yet. No I’m not tapping the love couples, yes I have long since gotten to beautiful people part 13, etc. Other things are not available or triggering as well as many people seem to be reporting. And like past events even if they fix the problems it will be too late to actually make up for lost time as they never extend the event to make up for their screwups.

    • Do me a favor… step back… take a breather… and read ALL of the top of this post. You will NOT be able to see anything in Phase 3 until you actually unlock it via completing the dialog/tasks that you need to. It goes BEYOND just beautiful People. You got to get into the new quests too (see bottom of post for quick glance). Once you do that THEN the new meter prizes and items will unlock for you to get.
