Update 7/8 420PM EST: TinyCo is looking specifically for players stating that that Challenge has not triggered, and are ALSO in Week 5 content. So if you have not messaged in from your game, you are not going to get the help you need…. so please message in.
So for those of you asking, it SHOULD trigger as long as you are in Week 5, if not… message them.
7/9 Addition: A part that seems to cause the catch for many not seeing the 4Th Challenge is content from Week 3 Become the Best. It doesn’t have to be all the way done, but it has to be completed to Part 5 in order to see the 4Th Challenge.
UPDATE ON GRAND PRIZE: Per TinyCo, those that completed all 4 Challenges will see the Grand Prize tomorrow… BEFORE the Event ends.
Still nothing yet on clarification of WHAT triggers #4 Challenge, but will update if I hear anything more.
Hey there Mafioso!
We now have another the FINAL Challenge (#4) in our games. As usual, Peter will have a ! over his head. Tapping on him will start it.
The 4th Challenge: THE FOUNTAIN OF WEALTH!
Back with more of a Break Down and my thoughts in just a bit…
Reminder, these are SUPPOSED to be VERY CHALLENGING! So you will have to spend time, and possibly some Clams to complete them. It all will honestly really depend on WHERE you are in the game itself. If you are starting from scratch, then it will cost you if you want to do it.
They are also timed. 24hrs to complete, so watch your timer closely as soon as you trigger it.
I look at these Challenges as an “Alternate Option”. Similar to the “Alternate Questlines” Like Become the Best. I would suggest to ONLY tackle them if you have the time and resources to do so.
NOTE: If you were intended to get the Weekly Challenges, you will see them also listed in your Event Menu under the Timer Icon.
DEFEAT 3 OF THE DON’S HENCHMEN
If you take a look in front of Don Corleone in the Event Area, you will notice he has FIVE Henchman total in front of him. Each one represents the Reward Levels 1x to 5x. So you need to take out 3 of them anywhere between 1x-5x to complete this task.
Previous take downs will NOT count.
This one will be easiest if you are reset to the 1x Setting and go up to 3x. If you are at 5x, this one may be quite difficult. Don’t forget to factor in the 4hr Resets you will need to wait for inbetween the 3 take downs.
HAVE TRICIA OBSESS
You will need to have Gangster School Girl Tricia unlocked.
Gangster School Girl Tricia “Obsess Over Tiny Things” will take 16hrs to Complete, so you will want to get her started on this task right away.
HAVE MOB WIFE LOIS GO ON A SHOPPING SPREE
You will need to have Mob Wife Lois unlocked.
Mob Wife Lois ” Shoe Shopping Spree” will take 12hrs, so you have a little bit of room on this one but I would still get it out of the way as soon as you can.
4TH WEEK PRIZES
As we have to wait for the 4hr Resets on Don too, this will take us a lil bit before we can supply the breakdown.
Challenge Prize:
1000 Mob Rep
Peter Fountain: Sits on a 3×3 Base. Animated. Water shoots out of Peter’s mouth as well as runs from the top tier of the fountain to the bottom. The pigeons peck and move around. Similar to the animation seen at the Mansion.
BONUS Grand Prize: I already messaged TinyCo on this one. The wording on the Challenge page stating there are “FIVE” Challenge Prizes to win is incorrect. There are the Four we have covered, including this one, than the Grand Prize. No word just yet on WHEN it will be awarded, but will update when I get confirmation.
MY THOUGHTS
This one again will all depend on WHERE you are in the game and WHAT you already have. Keeping Goons in constant supply in my game has really helped me to cut a LOT of time off of these tasks.
So the results will all vary on how YOU play the game.
REMEMBER: We are here to HELP. This is a HELPFUL post. So please, be understanding and respectful of that and the hard work that we put into getting these kinds of details out to you.
If you would like to voice concern on these Challenges, please do what we are constantly doing ourselves and message TinyCo on your thoughts. This is not the place to vent. Game Helping Tips ONLY. Strategy ONLY. If you need to vent, use the What The Deuce. Otherwise, please keep the post helpful for all. 🙂
There you have it. The 4th Challenge for the game. What worked for you? Your Strategy for tackling this one? Tips for your fellow Players to help them out on this one? Let us know.

Bummer some of you didn’t get a chance to complete this. Too bad we didn’t know ahead of time about the quest trigger.
Fortunately, I like to tey to follow the questlines as much as possible. There is a few i won’t be able to finish this time. The 55 showgirls to nox. Still need to send 10 goons to nox for the other one. I need to knock off 2 more couriers and Bonnie’s questline and apparently i have to knock off the don again for the final main questline.
For this last week. The questlines were really all over the place. No real good flow.
Better luck next time to everyone

I’m with you. I never had the Become The Best quest trigger for me until today, so there is no way I can get to part 5 before the end of the event. So angry because I spent a LOT on clams to speed up tasks to complete the first 3 challenges!!!
LikeLike
Yes it really sucks having spent a good amount of clams on the first 3 challenges and now this comes up with only a few hours left until the event ends for good. I’m sooo angry at TinyCo for their bad planning.
They should at least award to the final prize and 4th challenge prize to those who were in the week 5 questline but had to ignore the become the best sidequest due to other quests being much more priority than this.
The 4th challenge should have triggered independently from whether or not you have completed become the best sidequest pt 5 so that everyone should have had a chance at trying to obtain it.
I really wish TinyCo extended this quest in particular by at an extra day to allow those notified just a few hours before the event ends to have a chance at winning it as well. Its useless spending clams at this point to speed up goons to attack the don at this point because you need at least 2 4hr waiting for attack the don 3 times.
Oh well, all this venting is all for nothing as it goes on deaf ears as usual 😦

Argh I’m really getting anxious and desperate how to trigger this 4th challenge as this event is about to end. I can’t understand how some players have managed to get it to trigger whilst others like myself are still waiting for it trigger. I’ve sent an in-game message and email to TinyCo about this and I’m still waiting for their reply. (Most likely they’ll answer days after the event would have ended)
Bunny and/or Alissa, as both of you have close contact with TinyCo, could you please do us a favor to those that are still waiting for the 4th challenge to trigger to bring them to their attention about this and solve it ASAP?
What’s worrying me is getting it to trigger at the very last moments with “DEFEAT 3 OF THE DON’S HENCHMEN” still ongoing and uncompleted due to the 4hr waiting time between each defeat 😦 At the very least, to those that are still waiting to get it to trigger and in view that the event has about 30hrs left for it to end, TinyCo should reduce the “DEFEAT 3 OF THE DON’S HENCHMEN” to about 2 or even 1!

The week 1 challenge started for me immediately after finishing the second raid on Cleveland’s Casino which required me to complete the third raid and the additional optional raid in order to win the challenge – so no Jackpot sign for me.
The week 2 challenge started for me before the tubas always dropped and I only had 2 tubas for Cleveland Jr. which was required for the challenge – so without Cleveland Jr. there was no Golden Dragon for me.
Because I am about a week behind due to the tubas, I was able to build up a large supply of goons and had my max capacity walking around town (thanks to Bunny’s post on the week 3 challenge) – so when the week 3 challenge popped up I was actually ready for it and managed to complete the challenge clam free with 25 minutes to spare and won the Legal Eagle.
This morning I finished week 4 and was finally able to upgrade the mansion to week 5. Surprise! The very first pop up that appeared after upgrading the mansion was none other than the weekly challenge 4 to win the fountain. I really like the fountain, but unfortunately I am about 14,000+ cookies short of getting Tricia’s outfit which is required for the challenge – so no fountain or grand prize for me.
This is the first event that I have not been able to complete all the weekly challenges. I think that during this event, for most players, you don’t actually “win” these weekly “prizes” but rather you reduce the number of clams required to purchase them by completing as much of the tasks as possible and then spend clams to speed up the tasks to finish the challenge and therefore feel like you”won” the “prize”.
I think TinyCo must have hired P. T. Barnum because they sure have used the motto of “There’s a sucker born every minute” during this event.
This is not meant to be a rant, just my experience on when and how this challenge showed up in my game as well as the previous challenges. Thanks Addicts for all you do to get us the information that we need to get the most out of these events.
*P.S.- take a drink each time a form of the word “challenge” appears above.

This challenge was impossible because I had already defeated the don when this challenge revealed itself. When don finally appeared he was at 5X challenge since I had just unlocked Scrotes. I couldn’t wait until timer finished to reset back to one as it would’ve taken more time than the challenge allowed and there was no way I could beat 3 dons at 5X without spending serious cash. Totally unfair and not worth it. I know this isn’t the place to vent, but it’s merited considering even fmaddicts mentioned it in post

Maybe I didn’t understand the attacking the Don part, but I got up to 5x a few days ago and it never reset down to 1x. I’ve attacked him several times since but remained at 5x. Made the last challenge – I completed the first three – impossible as I kept needing 15 goons/showgirls etc. to beat him. Timer ran out on me about an hour before my final attack 😔
Was I doing something wrong that prevented the Don to reset to 1x? Not that it really matters at this point….
