Has anybody else had th problem of being locked out of the game with the GetPlayArea error and the timer ran out on Patty before being able to get back in? I would’ve unlocked her but I couldn’t.

Here’s the thing, the reason for the error is she had already ran out of time and just idled in players games. Causing the lock up.

Pics even… send them to me along with explanation and Player ID.

I totally understand. With my job hours and volunteering etc my time for the game doesn’t keep me in the front lines. I don’t stress though cause I accept some things I’ll miss out on. I don’t have a budget to use for clams so I’m typically a phase behind but I still end up getting most of what I can get each event. Slow and steady doesn’t win the race (or any leaderboard challenges) but still gets almost every freemium prize by the end 😊

TinyCo looks to have changed how the Concession Stand works in that it displays different payouts choices even though you have enough for either type
I’m still at Week 2 and I just went in and only had Soda for Reels even though I had more than enough Popcorn, which I used. After I went in again a moment later it gave me 32 Sodas + 45 Popcorn = 12 Reels and 35 Popcorn = 5 Reels, which I was forced to use the latter since I didn’t have enough Soda then. I went in again and now it now only displays to 30 Sodas = 10 Reels, which I’m 4 short.
With all this removing and stitching of payouts I don’t think I’ll be able to get Bait Lois within 24 hours to then get Patty.

You don’t want the school skin anyways. Wasting the 300 reels on that would just put you WAY behind in Phase 3!
It’s safe to say (so far) that the final projection booth prize in each phase really isn’t worth the reel cost. Just trip the timer and let it expire and you’ll be much happier. And once you’re done with the rest, just continue to collect reels for the next phase.

The Cat from Phase 1 is useful – collecting scythes and (at level 6) cannonballs. Do the timed pricey building skins at the end of the phase 2 and phase 3 pages drop anything useful?

Why pile multiple tasks on characters, like Chris (cannonballs, water balloons, pumpkins, etc) instead of spreading the tasks across the field of other characters? I may be alone in saying that I have really loved this event so far, AWESOME EVENT … but I’m not sure I understand not utilizing more characters… Well that and the blatantly unattainable projection booth unlocks. I thought maybe it was because they’re saving tasks/characters for new phases but hasn’t been the case so far.
LikeLike
It is common in most games, more the thought process of “NEW PLAYERS”. They want anyone picking up the game Old or New to have access to the majority of what the Event has to offer. Most of those “same used” Characters are in the first Districts you unlock for the game.

Same boat as your Laura. I want this event to be over so i can get back to unlocking districts/lands.

I’m trying to stay in Phase 2 until Patty is safely unlocked. The added materials options in Phase 3 are not likely to speed up the reel collecting process – certainly that has been happening more slowly in Phase 2 than in Phase 1 for me, and the price penalty for leveling up is a big problem (I’ve had to stash nearly every one of the event items to slow down progress to the next level, kind of defeating the Halloween theme: even Quagmire’s house is undecorated). I’ll be interested in reading about players’ experiences with reel collecting and level up penalties in Phase 3, though. Would love to be wrong…
It will be several days before I can get Slasher Bait Lois for Patty and then she has 1.5 days worth of tasks to get through. I’m stockpiling garlic to get Patty’s stickers once her timer starts. Meg really needs a few friends, so I would like to collect the whole small group….
Death is needed for the Phase 3 questline and still needs 3 scythes, which will take several days to get anyway, especially when Cat levels up to 6 and can start collecting cannonballs (the Cat and Lois are the only ones on scythe duty for me).
I noticed they changed the animation for the werewolf conversion and made it a lot harder to hit them properly. They stay purple for a much shorter time and it seems that it’s now crucial that they be facing the launcher. So I’m wasting some precious cannonballs mastering the new requirements. 🙂 Still a whiz at melting nuns, though.
LikeLike
Myself… on Level 12… I am finding the Exchange a LOT better. But that is my view. For me those Wolves always moved fast, I notice no change as I took them out just before Phase 3 and just after to test payouts. Still seem to move at the same pace to me. I always noted, even in the Werewolf post, that they need to go INTO the target and if not… you will miss most likely
LikeLike
The werewolves still move at the same speed. They just stay purple for a shorter time. Before, it didn’t matter what way they were facing because they stayed purple long enough regardless. Now it definitely does matter. You might not notice because your reflexes are faster than mine. For instance, I have a lot of trouble with bat clearing because I’m just not as fast as you are and struggle with the aiming/launching process which requires more coordination than nun melting or even de-werewolfing. Partly it’s because I’m a lot older, but I’ve never been all that fast or coordinated even as a young sprout.
LikeLike
Lol… ME? YOUNG SPROUT? Makes me giggle, but thanks 😉
I get more Bats due ONLY to I use the Mazes. Same with the Wolves. They walk through them in a specific direction so I know just where they are headed and place the Cannon ahead of them and… wait. 😉

I have this vision of you sitting quietly behind a duck blind in the early morning… Make that “bat blind”. No jokes about blind as a bat, now.
I think I have a different species of bat in my game. No luck with maze guiding attempts so far. Will keep experimenting.
LikeLike
The Bats only follow when you first tap them and they try to find a way out. So with sidewalk in the very far inside of my Maze, they have a ways to go round n round to get out. Gives me time to bomb them in large groups as they zig zag. 😉
LikeLike
I do think that the new animation for the werewolves is connected with the fact that it is now crucial to have them facing the cannon (it definitely didn’t matter before). They now double over when they get hit in the stomach, can’t really do that if facing away from the cannon… But they go non-purple so fast now, can’t be sure. I should mention that unlike you, I can’t deal with moving the cannon. I’m simply not fast enough or coordinated enough. That’s my problem with the bats especially, the clunky sight that shifts zoom plus the built-in delays are very hard for me to handle while also tapping the launcher. I can handle the nuns because I can do it without moving the launcher if I’m careful. I have to hit the werewolves without moving the launcher also, and that has definitely become more difficult since Phase 3 launched and they made some changes that affect Phase 2 as well. Not impossible, but setup for the shot will be more time-consuming and uncertain. People who have no trouble shifting the cannon will probably not have the same problem.
LikeLike
Makes complete sense what you are saying though. I get it. Those cannons can be tricky to move until you get the hang of how to tap them just right to allow you to move them.
LikeLike
If you tap a wolf and let the screen scroll with it till it stops, you can easily hit the cannon icon and then the check mark before it changes back from purple. I never miss, even if it stops behind a building.

If you’re not fussy which wolf you hit, before launching remove all road but 1, they bunch up together so 1 is usually always purple. But as I say only works if you don’t want clear a particular character.

I have a severe cannonball shortage, so I have to isolate the wolfies rather than bunch them together. I’ve been pretty successful today after the initial shock of the change in timing, though. Practice, practice, practice and as Bunny says- purple good, not purple bad.

I have enough film reels to unlock Lois skin,, 104 reels but I have a few questions
1.My question is,, what happens to my popcorn and sodas,, do they count towards a combination (popcorn/soda/chocolate) turn in?
Or does it go to only chocolate bars?
2. I have a ton of Garlic like 35+ when I move into week 3 will vampires still spawn?, and if so will they drop soda?
3. Loads of balloons,, will nuns still spawn and drop popcorn?
4. Because I have a lot of cannon balls to kill werewolves and garlic to kill vamps and balloons to kill nuns, would it be better for me to hold off and collect reels with my stockpile before moving into week 3?
Please answer as if you were in my position (often times you try and be diplomatic and say things like (it depends on your playing style, or it varies for each player.
I would like to know, (If you had 10 cannon balls,, 10 water balloons and 35+ garlic and you really wanted to get reels fast (and you are scream level 10) how would you play it out?
Thanks, I realize there is a lot going on and many different ways a person could approach this kind of situation, I just want to know what you think would be the best strategy on what info I have given you.

Once you hit Phase 3… YOUR exchange will vary. I have seen so far only individual Exchanges of the 3 items for 5 reels and only when I hit a certain amount of those items. Otherwise I see chocolates for 5 reels all the time. The amount again varies. Seen 8-12
Still ALL other Horrors involved along with their drops. (Just look at this post and you will see Vampires. 😉 )
I CAN’T give you an exact. I have no control on the variable. It is NOT diplomatic, it is honesty and the ONLY info I have to offer. I do NOT know what payouts or options YOU will see. I do not play your game so how can I know? Saying they vary is Accurate as they WILL vary. Just look at the comments on the main posts and you will see how much they vary for everyone.
The issue is I can’t give you any specifics with all these variables. Only to say get Lois and then see what options Phase 3 brings YOU to make the best judgement of the Concession Exchange to Reels Ratios YOUR game offers.
For Instance I am in Level 12. BEFORE Phase 2 I had only Sodas for 10 OR Popcorn & Sodas for 12 (amounts varied on each). Phase 3 I have seen so far 8,10,12 Chocolates for 5 Reels Exchange options. After getting some more Popcorn and Sodas from hits on Horrors more Exchange options showed up, 30 Popcorn for 5 & 25 Sodas for 10… but as soon as I made that Exchange and had LESS than the required amount… they were gone again.
So as you can see, depends on YOUR playing style and VARIES each Player is EXTREMELY accurate. 🙂

Did they really intend to not show the exchanges until you have enough soda or popcorn for the exchange? Or is that actually a glitch? It seems rather confusing and difficult for planning, and also a major change in how the concession stand works. I imagine they will get a lot of support questions from people assuming this means their stockpiled popcorn and sodas are no longer useful or that the popcorn and sodas have actually vanished. Or do they at least keep the counters for all of the items at the top?

It seems that is how it was set starting in Phase 2. You get variable options. I can see why they won’t show until you have enough of that item to even use the Exchange option as you can’t use it until you have enough to. So those stockpiled, should see them. It showed as soon as I had at LEAST the amount required so someone with say 100 of them would have already seen it too. 😉

Still in Phase 2, iPhone: I’ve been seeing the options in the concession stand regardless of how many sodas and popcorns I have. If I select the combo option, I see numbers like 10/45 popcorn, 0/27 soda underneath the option window. This is quite useful. I do have to swipe to see both soda alone and combo options, though, they don’t show all windows simultaneously due to lack of space.

I made the mistake of exchanging my stockpiled sodas and popcorn before phase 3 started because I was afraid they’d be worthless once chocolate was introduced.
Your stockpiled sodas and popcorn will be VERY helpful in Phase 3… so keep stockpiling them. You are given multiple options for reel exchanges that sometimes include 2 or 3 (including chocolate) items. The combinations do vary depending on which items you have stockpiled though. Which exchange options you are shown depends on how many of each item you have in inventory.
One exchange option combination I had rewarded 25 reels! It showed only 15 reels as a reward but actually rewarded 25. Sorry that I can’t be more specific… the exchange combinations constantly change and the rewards vary (up and down) as well for each exchange. But it is definitely easier to earn reels in Phase 3 than Phase 2.

That might explain why they don’t always show the options- they’re shifting too much. Your experience is encouraging, though. We just need to stock up to see more options.

I hope that happens for me. cause I have 190 popcorn And no way to use them 😫 I’m phase 3 part 2.. I only have 32 sodas for 10 reels or 10 chocolates for 5 reels. And last time I handed in sodas it was 25 sodas. Then 30. Now 32. It just keeps slightly going UP. But I do know it varies per player.. I’m only level 8 too, so that probably makes a difference. I just hope I can trade these popcorn at some point. Being able to use all 3 would be really helpful Cuz although there are a bunch of ways to get punpkins, it takes 8 hrs to get them, 1.5 hrs to craft, and need 2 per headless horsemen. So seems like that’s gonna be a tough one. Especially since the timers on the ghosts/horsemen to come out of the screen are way longer then the vamps/nuns were. Your comment about how it is in your game right now is encouraging tho lol thanks for the info!
