Ho Ho Ho Ho Hoooooooooooold Up a minute here??!! What’s all this??!! I think I fell into an NES or other Game System. 😉
TinyCo has dropped the Christmas Event into our silly lil games and it is stuffed full of all sorts of goodies to corrupt our Holiday… of course.
Just what does this Holiday Event have in store for us? Let’s dive on in and take a look at Quahog’s Not So Silent Night!!
EVENT ENDS WEDNESDAY JANUARY 4th 2017 @ 3PM PACIFIC
The Event will hit iOS first, then Android a few hours after, Facebook & Amazon will hit tomorrow (the usual delay on those markets with majority of App Games)
iOS showed 1.33.3 tonight
Google showed a new 1.33.5 tonight
First up, the Basics
- Players will need to be on the App Market Version 1.33.3 or higher (Google was 1.33.5) in order to see the event.
- Players will need to have at LEAST District 3 Unlocked and Al’s complete.
- 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. (Keep it under 10). If you do not see new Tasks popping up, clear out some incomplete Tasks already on your List to make room for more
Back with more in a bit…
***ALL INFO STILL IN PROGRESS***
UPDATE 12/2: Those with complaints of the Characters being used for the Event not being able to be placed in Tan Lines, TinyCo will be making an adjustment to allow them. Keep in mind though that this means you may miss out on some drops if you chose to store them in Tan Lines.
BUILDINGS
Retro Arcade Christmas Tree: 250 
Clams, Drops 60

I have never had a ‘Sam’ icon appear on my screen, I just have to guess where he/she is by moving a ‘Q*..sprite’ around my screen until its creates a killing zone and hope it’s in the correct place. This gives me a 50/50 success. Does anyone else have this issue…?..I’m using a new 12″ iPad with 128 memory.

As I keep noting to Players… Kindle is the WORST device to play this game on. Seriously. It can’t keep up with the GB needed for the game to stay stable. Amazon is ALWAYS slow to push updates… not just for this game but every single App Game I ever had in existence. Not one was on time, ever. I finally got so annoyed I stopped using my Kindle. Not worth it.
Another issue with Amazon, the App Update IS there … but the device won’t seem to load it. You almost have to force it to load by seeking out the App via website or directly searching for it. Only then will you see the UPDATE option and be able to load it.
In short… it’s not really anything to do with TinyCo… but more to do with Kindle & Amazon as a whole. They were just not made for high intensity and memory using App Games.

That would be nice if all inactive characters stayed in tan lines and ones that are part of the event can’t be placed in there.

It happens to me to using a Kindle. Sometimes it auto updates or takes me to the app store. Then there are times were I have to keep checking the Amazon app store for an update.

Same for me. Just checked and still no Kindle app update available. Almost 11pm EST on Fri night now. Guessing we will have to wait better share of the weekend. Thank goodness for my iPod.

Chris’s task to drop a qbert pack is 8 hours. Is this a typo on your part or an error in the game?
As always thank for all the help with this game.

?? Chris DOES say 8hrs. Are you referring to Christmas Peter who is 3hrs?

I think the confusion may be that Chris’ task is 8 hours, while all the other Pyramid Pack drops are 3 hours… It does seem strange that his would be so much longer, after you pay to earn him.

That’s why though. He is Premium, Task for him is guaranteed ALWAYS drop. Others are basic Character CHANCE drops at a Rare rate. I would personally prefer the Chance drops to be shorter time frames as more options to get the item. 😉

Actually their FAQ originally said Chris’s task was three hours. After I contacted them I noticed the FAQ has been changed to 8 hours.

Thus why I NEVER go off their FAQ for accuracy. I always find info has been changed, altered, updated, pulled, added, etc… from time the FAQ was released to time it went live. All my info is LIVE game verified for the accuracy. (I also flagged them as soon as I saw it.)
Same happens with TSTO. Lol. Live verification has always been my #1 OCD. 😉

Guess we’ve found the FIRST bottle neck;
12 night cups from Bonnie is going to take at least 4 days to get if you don’t have the Polar Pinball Park.
And it’s a RARE drop, so that’s why I wrote AT LEAST 4 days..
Bonnie’s task is 8 hrs long, and you have to have 12 of them (8×12 =96 hrs to get 12 items) 96 hrs is 4 days ! And that’s IF you get a drop EVERY time…
LikeLike
As I’ve noted before in the site… items are meant to take time. They don’t want you unlocking it all at once at start of Event. They “walk” you along at a pace they feel you should be. That being said… as I sped through… they dropped pretty well for me.
LikeLike
Been a day and a half since I wrote that I only got 2 caps. I have clicked the polar pinball park and Bonnie 4 times each and still only have 2 caps. It would be nice if once I got things right away because I have never completed an event. I get part way through and it ends.
LikeLike
Right off the bat, you are missing the fact that there is the Polar Pinball Park that also drops Night Caps… It will cost you 400 Stocking Suffers and 4 Green Balls, which should not take that long to collect, or you can splurge with Clams.
LikeLike
That is exactly what is so frustrating about this game. The rarety of some even common items seems poor. I have been playing since the event started sending Bonnie every 8 hours. I earned Polar Pinball yesterday, but I still only have 2 caps. At this rate it’s going to take a week more. Can’t do much without Peter. Have to keep grinding it out and hope for the best. One of these events I will get lucky and finish it before it ends.

Hi Bunny – a clarification question. You have the Stocking Stuffer Station dropping 160 Stocking Stuffers every 8 hours when the store appears to say 60 every 8 hours which wouldn’t make sense…anyway to clarify that? I ask this as during the Toga event TinyCo had a ‘misprint’ in the information area of one of the fountains that dropped event currency and I chose poorly based on the erroneous information they provided…your assessment looks correct as they claim “80% more!” in the store, but only dropping 60 every 8 hours would certainly not be better than dropping 35 every 4 hours…thanks!

In my game, once I placed it… it shows 160. I tested it too… so I left it as 160. 😉

I love that I have over 100 characters and only the same few can do anything for the events. If more characters got items I might actually complete an event.

They keep events to those core characters as they were unlocked in the early districts, meaning most players, even those new to the game, have them. Let’s everyone play the event.

I understand them not using only special characters as new users would be left out, but long time players don’t benefit at all. All those extra characters are useless. Most times main characters like Meg, Brian, and Stewie don’t do anything.

Let me put it this way… Event JUST started. Even in events those characters were used, they didn’t come into play until a few phases in. Giving all players the same starting point… then the “extra boost” further in. So can’t really say “they’re not used” not even 24hrs into 30+ day Event. I’m sure they’ll come along eventually. 😉

My splash screen is normal, my icon is also still the same as the Oz event icon even though my game is up to date (not sure they updated the icon for the game) don’t know what else to say here. I do have some open tasks but have had way more in the past and still had no issues with events starting.
