EVENT AREA IN QUAHOG

There is just 1 item up in the usual event area and it’s the fantastic transporting device, The Cursed TV.  This will allow you to travel back to yesterday years, starting this week with 1950’s Quahog. Just tap on it to see the  Cursed TV decades you can be transported back to, and as I say for this week there’s just 1, 1950’s Quahog.

Be aware most things you need to do this week will be done in 1950’s Quahog not in your standard Quahog. This includes some items in the store only showing up when you’re in 1950’s Quahog.

---

1950’s QUAHOG

By tapping on the Cursed TV in the event area or tapping the TV icon in the lower right corner of your game screen you can “travel” back in time to the 1950’s event area, here’s where you’ll earn stuff  and acquire items to further help you along in the event.

.

As the game progresses, more past decades will unlock for you to travel back to. But for now the first decade you will see will be 1950’s Quahog. And yes it’s supposed to be monochrome.

To go to 1950’s Quahog, just select it from the Cursed TV screen, then tap “Let’s Go” and you will now be taken to an alternate play area. (And remember to return to your bog standard Quahog you just used the Cursed TV again, only selecting Quahog as your destination).

You will notice a hammer or two to “repair” in 1950’s Quahog as you progress. These are for the characters 1950’s Peter and 1950’s Lois. They aren’t timed so don’t worry about repairing them. Once repaired you can start collecting items to unlock them. And funnily, well in my game, they seem to be able to get in 2 places at once as I can see them in both my Quahog and 1950’s Quahog.

As well as this you’ll all the usual event content such as buildings and baddies to defeat. And I’ll be breaking all this down below.

INTERGALACTIC COMBAT MINI-GAME

With the new event we are seeing the return of an old style mini-game. You might remember similar ones from the Peter’s Booty Haul and Beachy Keen events.

In order to be able to participate you’ll need to collect a ray gun, you’ll get them here:

 Ray Guns (Always): Get from Crafting in the Clammy Diner, 50’s Cleveland Read A Comic Book

Once you have a Ray Gun just tap on the Rocket Icon in the bottom right of your screen. It will only show up whilst you’re in 1950’s Quahog.

After tapping on this, the Intergalactic Combat mini game will appear.

You will see on the top of the screen the Rewards you have won from clearing rockets. The amount of Ray Guns  you have available in the Lower Left. The FIRE button in the Lower Right. (If you’ve no Ray Guns it will show Need More) Then in the center, you will see the circle that is essentially your target that you will use to get the Rockets.

This is really an “Aim n Shoot” kind of set up. You wait for a minute while the rockets fly around, then move the circle to target them. It should turn green when a rocket is in target, but it’s monochrome so we won’t see it. But the secret of this mini-game is to try target more than 1 rocket, so be patient and wait until you see a group of rockets bunched together then target them and quickly hit CAST.

To do this put your finger on the Target in the middle of the screen and drag it around to where the group of rockets are that you want to get. Tap in FIRE to destroy them. Remember you’ve a better chance of capturing more if they are really close to or/and on top of one another like above.

You will then be given Rewards depending on how many rockets you destroyed with your ray gun. I’ve managed to destroy 5 at once, but the screen only showed 4 destroyed, but I did get rewards for destroying 5..

The rewards you get will vary on how many rockets you destroy at a time.

Per Rocket Destroyed:
1 Bread (Always)
1 Pearls (Always)
