ADDICTS ANNOUNCEMENTS & INFORMATION

Remember you can only place buildings etc in the event area Time they belong in, ie 50’s, 60’s

Just one freemium character to unlock this week.

The TV Guide Week 1 Achievements can still be completed, in fact I recommend it even if you don’t want the prize, as you can exchange Bread for Scratch.

As mentioned above, in 1960’s Quahog you  can exchange Bread for Scratch.

The Swinging 60’s Mystery Box was a painful one for me, see that section below for my unbelievable bad luck on it.

GLITCHES & ISSUES

I’m not personally experiencing any apart from having 2 of 50’s Lois and 50’s Peter, however after using the task icon to put one of each on task I’ve simply sent the doppelgänger to Tan Lines for now. Not impacting play as yet.

Still seeing complaints of being unable to place buildings in the event areas, please ensure you’re in the right time era and go to your inventory not store. If this doesn’t work you need contact TinyCo.

Clam TV isn’t working.

Ray Guns disappearing when crafting.

If you are having any other issues let me know in the comments.

Swinging 60’s Mystery Box

Costs 150 Clams per try. Be warned materials can and if you’re unlucky like me, will repeat.

Prizes – please be aware some are costumes from previous events, you won’t see these if you’ve already got them. So here’s what you can win:

60’s Brian
155 Clams
15 Half Dollars
Alternative Medicine Dr. Hartman
25 Scratch
15 Incense
Hippie Death
20 Decoder Rings
25 Bread
20 Baseballs
Drug Rugs Clothing Store
Nifty Fifties Diner
Hippie Bus

My Results: I already had the returning costumes, but it still took me 36, yes you read that right, 36 turns to win 60’s Brian.  This is absolutely not how a mystery box should work and I’ve contacted TinyCo to tell them this. But so you can cry along with me here’s what I got in  order of tries.

20 Baseballs
25 Scratch

15 Half Dollars

60’s Brian

Total Spend was 5245 Clams to get 60’s Brian. (That’s 36 x 150 = 5400 Clams – 155 Clams won).  In real term money to buy that many Clams in my home currency (GBP) would be £149. Therefore if you try this Box I really wish you good luck, as I said I’ve voiced serious concerns over this to TinyCo.

EVENT AREA IN QUAHOG

There is still 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 last week with 1950’s Quahog and this week 1960’s Quahog. Just tap on it to see the  Cursed TV decades you can be transported back to.

Be aware most things you need to do this week will be done in 1960’s Quahog not in your standard Quahog. This includes some items in the store only showing up when you’re in 1960’s Quahog. But don’t neglect your duties back in 1950’s Quahog as you still want to get your hands on Bread to trade.

1960’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 1960’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 latest decade you will see will be 1960’s Quahog.

To go to 1960’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 or go to 1950’s Quahog you just use the Cursed TV again, only selecting whichever of them as your destination).

You will notice a hammer to “repair” in 1960’s Quahog as you progress. This is for the character 1960’s Meg. She isn’t timed so don’t worry about repairing her. Once repaired you can start collecting items to unlock her.

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.

MODS ON MOPEDS

These are the other baddies in this week of the event and are quite simple to deal with, it’s just more of the tap, aim and fire we’ve seen in previous events. Before you can clear them you’ll need to get some Records, you’ll get them here:

 Records (Always): Get from Crafting in the Clammy Diner

Once you have a Record you will find Mods on Mopeds driving on your 1960’s sidewalks.

Simply tap one of them to bring up the targeting screen.

Then move the Record until the green target circle is on a Mods on Moped, you’ll know it’s in target as it will turn purple, then simply hit the check mark to clear the Mods on Moped.

I am seeing up to a maximum of 8 in my game.

The event rewards for clearing Mods on Mopeds are as follows:

1 Fake Medal (Always)
