Hi, Ho, Hi, Ho, it’s off to Camp we go!!!
TinyCo have dropped a long, hot, summer kind of Event into our silly lil games and it’s stuffed full of all sorts of goodies to get us all hot and bothered.
So what does this Summer Event have in store for us? Let’s dive in and take a look at the Final Phase of Wet Hot Quahog Summer!!
EVENT ENDS WEDNESDAY JULY 26th 2017 @ 3PM PACIFIC
I’m going be updating this as I move along in my game as I don’t have access to any test game info just now, so just keep checking back. But there are a couple things I want to bring your attention to:
Firstly you do not have to have completed the Phase 3 Main Questline to access this phases content, as long as you got as far as Pt. 3 of Welcome To Camp Griffin way back in Phase 1 you’ll be able to see this content. Sometimes it pays to do our polls and give TinyCo a nudge about players struggles.
Secondly, there’s no new Camp to battle this week, so essentially Camp Wars are at an end unless you’re still working on unlocking Director Susie. Please note if you are they haven’t adjusted the difficulty, so if you’re struggling to win battles you may want to do what I did, knowing I had only 12hrs left on Susie’s timer but with some Water Balloons banked as I was stuck trying to upgrade my campers, and knowing I wouldn’t need them for any new Camp Wars this phase, I just started to lose wars, getting 2 Pianos each time, and after 4 defeats I had the 8 I needed to unlock Susie, so if you’re just a few Pianos away, that might be the way to go.
First up, the Basics
- Players will need to be on the App Market Version 1.50.1 or higher 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

ACHIEVEMENT TASKS
There’s some additional Achievement Tasks been added to help us unlock Wild Brian, however what I’m seeing still makes me think he will be VERY difficult for most of us to unlock. I hope I’m wrong, we’ll see at the end of the event I guess. As usual you can access your Achievement Tasks by tapping the icon below.
I’ll get a post up with details of the individual tasks soon, but for now here’s what I’ve seen playing through this Phase so far.
So basically you need to keep completing Achievement Tasks until you’ve gained the 470 Spears required to unlock Wild Brian.
SCOUTS
These are the new little baddies in this event and are very simple to deal with. Once you see them wandering your sidewalks simply tap them to clear them and earn rewards.
The rewards for the individual scouts are as follows:
Blonde Scouts
Chance Drops of: 1x Litter & 1x Whittling Badge
Cubby Scouts
Chance Drops of: 1x Bear Repellant & 1x Whittling Badge
Pansy Scouts
Chance Drops of: 1x Matches & 1x Whittling Badge
PARK RANGER BOSS BATTLE
Similar to previous events where you need to collect materials to attack the Park Ranger Boss at Levels 1-5 in order to gain rewards.
So firstly in order to be able to Attack the Park Ranger in this you will need to tap on her, you’ll see her wandering your Sidewalks like in the image below.
Once you tap her you will see the Attack screen, showing what resource you need to battle at that level, this will be a set amount of either Bear Repellent, Litter or Matches. You’ll also see the rewards for Attacking her at that Level. Basically keep collecting material and attacking her until you fully defeat her or her 24hr timer runs down. Once it does she will go into a Cool Down for 6 hours and you’ll need wait for her to return to start attacking again.
In order to attack you’ll need the following, however whereas the numbers you will need will be the same as mine at each level, the material may differ.
Bear Repellent (Rare): Clear Cubby Scout OR Sasquatch Hold A Turf War OR Buy from Store
Litter (Common): Clear Blonde Scout OR Sasquatch Pick Up Litter OR Buy from Store
Matches (Common): Clear Pansy Scout OR Sasquatch Prevent Forrest Fires OR Buy from Store
And here are the Requirements and Rewards for the levels I’ve seen so far:
Level 1X
Cost to Attack: 1 Bear Repellent OR 1 Litter OR 1 Matches
Reward: 10 Whittling Badges & 1 Scout Guide
Level 2X
Cost to Attack: 3 Bear Repellent OR 3 Litter OR 3 Matches
Reward: 30 Whittling Badges & 3 Scout Guides

Does anyone happen to know how much the individual items cost towards Troop Leader Lois? I’m thinking of skipping the building which gives the Green Neckties as with that being an ‘Always’ I’d expect those cost less each than the Scout Cookies cost each, so even though I have one of the SC buildings I think it may be wiser (and cheaper) to get the 2nd SC building than to get the GN building and just pay whatever those 12 Neckties cost after HOPEFULLY completing all the other items!
i.e. if Green Neckties cost 5 each then 12 = 60 clams, but Cookies might be 30 each in which case even 3 of those would cost 90 clams – and with those being a ‘Rare’ I suspect that may be the case.
Can anyone confirm this please?
LikeLike
Sorry I’ve unlocked so can’t say, not sure if anyone else can?
LikeLike
Thanks RussianTigger anyway, I can at least say that the Sprays are 5 clams each, which when you look at how much she was from the off then even 60 x 5 clams would only have been 300 of the total so it does kind of point to the Rare items having a heavy swing to them, I think.
LikeLike
Okay, managed to track this to now see that the Sprays are 5 each, and the Cookies are 25 each.
I also suspect the Scout Guide Books are something like 15 each with the Neckties possibly something like 7 each but not confirmed those two yet and running out of time.

Director Susie was the timed character

I am so glad they did not introduce new characters for the final week. Gives us a breather finally! Costumes are a meh for me, unless its one for Stewie, which nowadays are premium. Last few weeks have been horrendous, with the camp wars (started out fun, then nightmarish as we try and beat the later streaks for umpteen times), and timed character (again!).
Will save more detailed comments once RT launches the Poll for the Event. For those who are trying to complete Lois’ costume and finish the event, have fun, and good luck!

I am trying to do Camp Wars – Streak 11, but whenever I keep trying…the game closes on me. Is this happening to anyone else?
LikeLike
I had issues but at earlier Streaks.
LikeLike
Troop leader Lois needs mostly buildings and the badge cost is stupid. I started Wednesday, have maybe half what I need for the first little building. So I am skeptical on her outfit in any kind of time before event ending.
Wild Brian looks pretty good, with the increased payouts for stage 4 actions.
The park ranger is ok, but the don’t spawn scouts fast enough to give you all the various items you might or might not need for a phase. I got to 3x this first cycle.
Susie was a bust. I have fought streak 11 8 times, lost every time, because they spawn only mimes, twice as fast as I can spawn campers. The mimes also ignore the water cannon. Messaged tinyco got the usual non answer. She wasn’t worth 700 clams to finish her off.
I happened to have every character and costume, so the mystery box gave me sasquatch immediately and then I came up 10 clams on the clam prize

Recommended campers:
Campfire man: level 2 (mine is level 4)
All Star Athlede: level 3 (mine is level 3)
Swimmer: level 3 (mine is level 3)
Jock: level 3 (mine is level 3)
Deer: level 3 (mine is level 3)
Still, I can’t beat streak 11.. for umpty times in a row 😦
LikeLike
All Star Athlete had to be Level 4 in my recommended Campers for Streak 11, I only won it once she was L4. If you’re getting the requirements from the Camp Wars Button that shows 6, that was actually requirements for Roll Call Part 6 which related to Streak 9.
LikeLike
Yeah, mine still says “Recommended Campers – 6” with these numbers:
CM: 2 [Me = 3]
ASA: 3 [Me = 3]
S: 3 [Me = 3]
J: 3 [Me = 3]
D: 2 [Me = 3]
I’m stuck on 11 as well
LikeLike
Recommended for 6 was linked to Roll Call Pt 6 which was for an earlier streak, for some reason the Camp War icon stopped linking to what was needed for the higher streaks and stuck at 6. From you’re list your All Star Athlete needs be at L4
LikeLike
It looks like that’s pretty much impossible to level up the ASA as I haven’t had a Standard Care package in a week. I’ve been pranking Belly Flop (2nd one) almost non-stop since week 2 and almost never get packages (or hot dogs which is all I really want).
LikeLike
Same here, non stop pranking, had 2 packages in the past week and non of them gave me an all-star athlete card… it’s ridiculous that she needs to be level 4… my campfire man, jock AND deer are higher levels then required… the extra 10 damage that she will have and the 50 extra health are negligible compared to the extra’s of my Jock and Deer…
LikeLiked by 1 person
For streak 11 i beat it only once Jock and Deer were level 4. I also noticed the mimes appear half as fast once they were level 4. So i think its rigged to be impossible until you meet requirements. No cannon needed. Jock & Deer 4, Cat 1, Swimmer 3, and the first guy Prankster at 5. Then it worked. I say only focus on getting Jock and Deer to level 4 opening fancy packages. Fill in with whoever else and you should be fine. Do not try going back to open standard packages if your Jock and Deer arent level 4.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Yeah, that’s what happened to me. As soon as I got Jock & Deer to level 4 I was suddenly able to battle properly. In fact I then was able to beat 12 & 13 using the same characters. I’m just waiting for some more balloons before I try 14.
LikeLike
This event is frustrating because as soon as you move onto the next part, there is really no way of getting previous packages to be able to upgrade, like the cards to upgrade the all star athlete are only from the standard care packages which are non existent as the only way of getting them is from pranking and they very rarely drop. Even substituting the cat actor, for one of the weaker characters doesn’t seem to help
LikeLike
Yeah that’s the issue exactly, random drops you have no control over on an essential game element.

Missed out on Susie, due to like 50 clams worth of pianos. I used to go ahead and spend a few bucks, but it was because I wanted characters for tan lines. But there’s nothing to buy now. As long as they make this game hard for even those of us that spend money, I’ll not pad their pockets anymore. Susie never should have been timed. But they want us to spend after working so hard, cause now those of us that were Soooooo close have the decision of letting everything we did be for nothing, or spend a few dollars. I’d say smart on their part, but, people seem to be leaving the game. I don’t want it to end! I hope they wake up and make it fun again.

I also now feel I’m playing a completely different game now! The battles were hard at times, but now all that stuff is really pointless. Once again, we are now working for a costume that will not even be needed for the event. It’s so strange. At lest it’ll be an easy week. 😆

I’ve written off this event and hope that the next one will fare better. I don’t think I’ll be able to get Susie or Ben since the game keeps freezing and crashing whenever I start streak 6 for week 3. The drops have been horrible and even playing as a cheap premium player I’m not getting any leg up. Any ideas on how to stop the crashing? I don’t really care about the characters other than having more people to waste away in the hotel. Still love the game but geez they need to clean up their act a bit.
LikeLike
Just wanted to so say: l’m done with Family Guy TQFS. These events are getting ridicously annoying and impossible to accomplish, probably even as a premium player. TSTO is still giving some satisfaction in terms of realism to set some goals and achieve the prices as intended but TC is nowhere near to even assist a freemium player to reach some goals.
I actually can’t progress in my event as i haven’t had a single hot dog drop for almost 14 days which is ridicoulous even fore rare items.
i’ve started with the futurama game a few weeks ago and I’m not that unhappy with it at the moment but seeing that some special event missions for a fairly new game (officialy published on the 29th of June) already request a level 15 status for some special event missions ( the official app is not older than a month ) but not able to to provide the nedessary chips amount is really really frustrating when you’re really trying to work it out by playing almost every three hours (sleep rest hours excluded) so it doesn’t help in improving to adjust my currently fairly negative impression of Tiny Co (and for that matter their partner or subsidiary JamCity). probably I might up giving up that game as well.
I do want to express my gratitude though to RussianTigger, Bunny and the rest of the family guy addicts crew to help getting some answers, help, assistance and provide guidance during these confusinging times.
Many thanks for all your hard work in keeping us players informed and engaged with these games.

You need to repeat earlier missions to gain extra chips for level-up; whenever you have spare fuel try to use it. I have plenty of characters at level 15+ this way without spending any pizza. The event mission requirements did go up to scientist level 23 though, which I didn’t achieve, so I wasn’t able to complete them all to 100% before it ended.

Well I know its a small thing but the font they chose stinks. It’s hard to tell the 1’s from the 7’s. this event was over before it started for me. The drop rates were just ridiculous. I agree with Krztoff6. TinyCo has written off freemuium players altogether.

Which kind of proves the point about freemium players. As hard as it is for premium players, free playing is pretty much impossible. The only reason I’ve gotten as far as I have is I gave in and biught out Joe as well as speed up several packages. There is no way to complete this event without spending at least 200 clams.

With the randomness of drops, there is no guarantee even with spending a lot of clams you’ll complete some events. And that’s a big problem for TinyCo as they need premium players to spend money to support the game.

Let’s just say that I may have needed my game reset and TC may have accidentally gifted me a very large amount of clams.. I hadn’t played for over a year before that, and I used to be a (very) premium player. I’ve had to speed through everything, packages, wait time on the balloon fights, buying characters, (that you’re supposed to gather things for), at the last second. I am in shock, how many clams I’ve spent since the game was reset. Everything seems to be worse than when I quit playing over a year ago. I also can’t work right now because of a back injury, so I check in quite frequently. It’s pretty ridiculous.

Had four items and the clams in my mystery box, did my research and found out two full characters and two costumes were up for grabs. 50/50 shot at a character. Figured that was worth 150 clams. In a tremendous stroke of luck I got Sasquatch. Price point was right and chance was right for me to give it a shot.

Perhaps this would have been acceptable if Susie didn’t have a timer. But I think many of us ran out of time to level up enough to fully compete in Camp Wars. Now Tinyco leaves us with a final week of worthless activities. Will they ever learn or do they not care!

I’m guessing Tinyco has given up on freemium players all together. Mathematically this week seems impossible without buying the scout tent. How often are the scouts supposed to show up anyway? It seems to be 4 every four or five hours, which is not enough to sustain badges or get enough of the ither items for the ranger. And mousse is dropping at a 50/50 rate. I’ll try for a day or two but if the numbers dont improve it’s going to be a waste.
