RUUUUUN!!! THE END OF THE WORLD IS COMING!!! … To Quahog. 😉
It looks like we have been transported back in time to 1999, or is it now? With all the times I hear on the radio or see on the TV “THE END IS NEAR”, I just never know when the world is actually gonna end. Guess I will just have to keep on waiting to kidnap “friends” for my underground shelter. Wait to take out a bunch of Zombies with my real life Maze in the back yard. Wait to see if Twinkies and Cockroaches really do survive anything (well Twinkies almost didn’t survive a company going under”.
BOOMSDAY IS HERE!!
EVENT WILL END THURSDAY MAY 5TH, 2016 @ 3PM 10AM PACIFIC (New End Time)
First up, the Basics
- Players will need to be on App Version 1.21.0 so ensure you go to your App Market and download the latest update when it hits. Available for iOS and Android users now! Facebook and Amazon soon to follow (usually Amazon and Facebook take the longest to release from their Markets, so be patient and watch for it.)
- Players will need to have at LEAST District 3 Unlocked and Al’s completed
- Players will only see this on the Mobile App Version (iOS, Google, Amazon, Facebook). NOT Windows Stand Alone
- PLAY THE GAME! Items unlock in stages and as you progress, so if you do not see an item it is most likely you have not progressed far enough in the Main Questline to unlock it. Check details below for more specifics on unlock points
- Don’t have a TON of Tasks open in your Task Menu. If you have too many open, no new ones can arrive. If you do not see new Tasks popping up, clear out some incompleted Tasks already on your List to make room for more
Back with more in a bit.
The First thing you will notice once you updated and reloaded the game is the cools new splash screen, then the game floor (more a desert), and just an overall apocalyptic look to it.

RADIATION SICKNESS
During the Event, Characters can get Radiation Sickness (Chris will by Peterpocolypse Part 4). If your Character gets it while they are on a Task, the Task will keep timing down to completion, however you will not be able to collect or complete the Task until the sickness is cured.
You will need Clevemire unlocked to cure Characters of Radiation Sickness, so work on getting them as soon as you can. Tap on “SAVE” to start the process of helping Chris.
Payout: Varies, but my game seemed to pay me about 20 Water Bottles.
CRISIS LEVEL
This will be essentially the Event “XP”. Points that you will earn throughout the Event to hit a specific Level to unlock New Content as it is released each Phase of the month long Event.
Crisis Points can be earned all over the Event. From Questlines, Tasks, Buying items, and collecting rent from Event Buildings.
NEUTRALIZATION STATION
You will find this on the Left Side of the Event Area. It looks like a wrecked airplane. Much like previous Events, here will be where you create an item to help you out in the Event. Each item will require specific Materials and time to create it. Once created, you can use it once.
There will be a CAPACITY (how many TOTAL you can have in Queue and complete in your game). My Game Capacity started with 8.
There will be a QUEUE (the MAX amount of items you can craft at a time). My Game Queue was 6 items total can be crafted at a time, up to Capacity.
Net Launcher: Takes 1 hr to Craft, Requires 1 Net
Nets (Always): Peter Go Fish OR Quagmire Get Fussed OR More Hoard Tchotchkes OR Lois Fight for Survival OR Jerome Salvage Sport Memorabilia OR Quahog Bait & Tackle Shop.
MUTANT GOLDFISH
These will begin to appear after Peterpocalypse Part 2. I started with two flopping around my streets. You will need to create items in the Neutralization Station to clear them (Net Launcher).
Also like in the past, you will place the Net Launcher in FRONT of the Target (aka Mutant Fish) and wait for the Mutant Fish to turn PURPLE. Once it is purple, tap the Check Mark to Launch the Net and take out the Mutant Fish.
Payout: Chance of 12 
Water Bottles
POWERPLANT GATE
Tapping on the Gates will tell you how often your “bad guy” will spawn, like the Mutant Fish. It will also tell you when the next Upgrade for the Event (Phase 2) will hit along with how many Crisis Level Points you will need to access the content.
Phase 2 right now will require you to hit Crisis Level 4
TWINKLY TRADING POST
You will find this on the Left Side of the Event Area. It looks like a thrown together Building with lots of “Twinklies” outside. Here is where you can Trade Event Materials collected for the Event Currency Twinkles. Twinkles will be used to purchase items at the Stockpile Tanker. This will be your main source of Twinklies.
My Game showed the trade options of (they randomly appeared in no particular order):
35 Water Bottles for 5 
Twinklies
36 Water Bottles for 5 Twinklies
39 Water Bottles for 5 Twinklies
42 Water Bottles for 5 Twinklies
45 Water Bottles for 5 Twinklies
48 Water Bottles for 5 Twinklies
49 Water Bottles for 5 Twinklies
Water Bottles (Always): Clear Mutant Goldfish OR Help Chris Recover from Radiation Sickeness (requires Clevemire) OR Endless Water Tower
STOCKPILE TANKER
You will find this on the Right Side of the Event Area. Here is where Buildings/Decorations for the Event can be purchased with Twinkles. Prizes here will have to be unlocked in order. In other words to get to the LAST item, all the items in front of it have to be purchased first. There are 8 items total for Phase 1.
FYI- Per TinyCo, the “CHANCE” drops mean they can drop 0 OR 1 OR 2 of that item. Just keep that in mind. They are NOT guaranteed drops.

TIMER WARNING!!! Once you unlock the Prize in front of Sidewalk Joe (Moonshine Distillery), ANYTHING that brings you back to the Stockpile Tanker (Quest, Tasks, ANYTHING) will start Sidewalk Joe’s ONE DAY TIMER! Proceed with caution and take your time getting the items you need before triggering his timer if you want him. Remember, these timed items are optional. It is your choice to try for them, or you can opt to skip them if you would like.
Sidewalk Joe: Finish creating him in Al’s for 1 sec, Comes with a Questline
~Cost
115 Twinklies
POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SPHERE
You will find this Sphere right by the Entrance to the Event Area by Apocalyptic Brian Statue. It is just an Event location you may find many of your Characters using during the Event. It also pays out Crisis Points.
Potentially Hazardous Sphere: Earns 6 Crisis Points every 24hrs, Chance drop of 6 Toilet Paper.
TOILET PAPER
There are a few places you can earn this silly Material, here are the ones I am seeing so far. I found that I had to place One Man’s Junkyard first for them to appear and send Peter on his 1 minute task there. Peterpocalypse Pt. 3
Toilet Paper: Potentially Hazardous Sphere OR Questlines OR
(4hrs) Tricia Hunt for Supplies OR Hayley Smith Hunt for Supplies OR Mayor West Hunt for Supplies OR Steve Smith Hunt for Supplies OR Francine Smith Hunt for Supplies OR Peter Hunt for Supplies OR Mutant Stewie Hunt for Supplies
(8hrs) Meg Sneak into Danger Zone
(24hrs) Robocop Sympathize with Mutants OR Alien Sympathize with Mutants OR Chucky Sympathize with Mutants OR God Sympathize with Mutants OR Superdevil Sympathize with Mutants T-600 Sympathize with Mutants OR Worf Sympathize with Mutants OR Human Rupert Sympathize with Mutants
There you have it, still more details I am adding as I play along and verify it all. Should be enough to get you started though.
Thoughts so far? Like the Apocalyptic look to it all? Character or item you are most interested in so far? Tips for fellow Players? Let us know.

If you are still in Phase 1, trade all the water bottles you can before Phase 2 starts and you need cigarettes. However… you will need to trigger Mutant Stewie Eggs to get the Stewies to get Lambswool Cloaks for him… so you will need to get to Phase 2 eventually. My suggestion, pick ONE you want most and do all you can to get that one and let the other go… or… let them both go… up to you. 🙂

I just collected from the Moonshine Distillery and it gave me only 1 Frizz Shampoo. It gave me 2 once, so now I have a total of 3. I thought it was supposed to drop 2 every time it dropped. Has anyone else experienced this? I’ve sent an in-game message to TinyCo about this as well.

” by not buying/unlocking the griffinhouse/distillery/joe I can easily save up the 144 twinkies to get them all at once(I think/hope!)”
– griffinhouse is ONLY 17 twinkles and you NEED this to open distilerry
– distillery is ONLY 12 twinkles and you NEED this asap to unlock Neil Goldman and to clear page 1 in stockpile tanker to get ready for 2nd week.
– Sidewalk Joe is hard, optional, cost 115!!! tinkles, has 24 h timer and you DON’T really NEED it for event or for unlocking anything unless you want the skin.
So Joe and the other 2 buildings are totally separate things and i don’t understand exactlly how you want to save the twinkies.

Only issue I’m having so far is not being able to see the apocalyptic Founding Father. It either appears as a blank lot or in its original form.
Otherwise, things are rolling along quite smooth for me. That is until I decide to go for Sidewalk Joe and bury myself for the next phase. *sigh* I wish the challenge item was something I’d be more inclined to pass on like a building skin rather than a character / character skin. But I really want Joe as part of the set… Decisions decisions.

I found a bug with nets. The game only lets harvest a maximum of 3 nets at a time. So for example, say you collect 6 nets from characters in one go. When you go to build net launchers, it says you only have 3 nets. I’ve noticed this the past few days, but figured it took multiple nets per launcher, but today I decided that each time I collected a net, I would immediately build a launcher. When I did this I ended up with 6 launchers building. Previously I could never get more than 3 building at one time because the game said I only ever had at most 3 nets.
I wish I figured this out earlier as I’ve been “wasting” nets by collecting nets when I already had 3 collected. In any case this bug should be fixed.

All this talk about sidewalk joe skin not doing anything and maybe saving the twinkies for later better prizes scares me. by not buying/unlocking the griffinhouse/distillery/joe I can easily save up the 144 twinkies to get them all at once(I think/hope!). Question…is there ever a point where I wouldn’t have the option of going back, if I wait to spend the twinkies to get those three. Will they time out without me triggering it? I understand I need the distillery also to get Mort and would lose him.

Just Joe’s timer. Once expired you can’t get him. As for other items in the Tanker, will know when Phase 2 hits… but at times you have to complete page one (minus hard item) to get to page 2.
Items in shopping cart are there to stay for the event.
