Hey there Character Collectors!
Just thought I’d put together a little overview of Quahog Historical Society to answer the questions I’m seeing in the comments, and a few I’ve not seen yet but I know will come. So take a peek below to see if I’ve managed answer all your queries, and if there’s anything else you’re wondering just ask me about it in the comments.
What is Quahog Historical Society?
This is the feature many of you have been waiting on, a way to collect characters and costumes you’ve missed. And this new feature contains lots and lots of them, however be aware it’s not every character or costume ever released, there’s been 837 characters and costumes released before this event. But this feature is bringing back over half of them, 488 characters and costumes are available. And if you’re wondering why a particular character isn’t included, it may be because some characters had time limited licensing terms so can’t return now. But there’s hopefully something for everyone here.
Please remember this is permanent so unless you choose to spend money to rush you can work away freemium. There is nothing in this that forces you to buy Medals rather than earning them. It’s your choice if you spend money, as it’s not necessary if you’ve got patience.
What is the Quahog History Lesson Questline?
It’s a just a short 3 part Questline to introduce the new feature. You’ll find a post with it HERE.
How do I access Quahog Historical Society?
You just tap on the QHS button in the bottom left of your game, it looks like the Icon above.
How do I unlock characters/costumes in Quahog Historical Society?
Quite simply you buy them with Medals.
How much do characters/costumes cost in Quahog Historical Society?
There are 4 characters/costumes in each rank, the costs are 300 Medals, 300 Medals, 600 Medals and 900 Medals.
If you already own the character/costume it will show as unlocked.
Where do I get Medals to unlock characters and costumes?
You can get these in various ways.
You’ll be happy to hear there’s a few freemium ways, these are:
Unlocking new characters & costumes in events. If you fully unlock the character you’ll get a Trophy you can trade for 1000 Medals. If you don’t fully unlock them you’ll get a pro rata amount of Medals depending on how many unlock items you collected.
Putting characters on their GO FOR GOLD 8hr task.
Trading trophies earned from unlocking characters.
Theres also premium options:
Buying premium characters or costumes will earn you a Trophy you can trade for 1000 Medals. Sorry but you won’t get Trophies rugs way in future, seemingly awarding them this way was a mistake.
Buying Medals in the Medal Shop, the cost of packs will vary depending on country you’re located in.
You can see how many you have by looking at this icon in the Quahog Historical Society screen.
What characters drop Medals?
So far I’ve checked out over 100 characters from Tan Lines and all have the 8hr task GO FOR GOLD which drops 1 Medal.
But the task isn’t at the top of the task list so you’ll need to scroll down in the characters profile to find it. I have asked support if it could be put to the top. But this is the task your looking for, even although it doesn’t show the Medal icon it does drop 1.
What are the trophies I see?
These are awarded mainly for unlocking or purchasing new characters and costumes in events. You’ll also be awarded a free one for completing part 3 of Quahog History Lesson. They can be traded for 1000 Medals.
You can see how many you have by looking at this icon in the Quahog Historical Society screen.
How do I know when a Trophy is available as a reward?
You’ll see when a Trophy is up for grabs, like in this example for Prison Peter. As you can see there’s a Trophy above his head.
You’ll also see these instead of the final unlock item in full characters you can unlock, this means you’ll get awarded one when you fully unlock that character, if you look at Prison Wife you’ll see what I mean.
If you purchase a premium character/costume you’ll automatically be awarded a Trophy.
What if I don’t completely unlock a character/costume and don’t earn the trophy?
You’ll get a pro rata amount of Medals depending on what items you collected. If you look at Prison Peter’s unlock requirements above each item you’ll see an amount of Medals, this is the pro rata amount of Medals you’ll get for unlocking them, i.e. If you get all 4 toothbrushes but don’t unlock the costume fully you’ll get 333 Medals as a reward, and so on. This figure is 1000 Medals, (what a Trophy is worth), divided by 3, (as that’s how many different unlock items he has). I’m not sure if you only collect some of any item if you’ll get a lesser amount of Medals, I’ve asked support and will report back on this.
It’s the same system for character unlocks, this is one of Prison Wife’s items, here you see the reward is 250 Medals. This figure is 1000 Medals, (what a Trophy is worth), divided by 4, (as that’s how many different unlock items she has).
.
How do I trade Trophies for Medals?
Go to the Quahog Historical Society screen and click the icon above. You’ll then see the option to convert a Trophy for 1000 Medals.
What are Ranks?
These are a set of 4 characters, and you unlock ranks as you progress in Quahog Historical Society.
What happens when I complete a Rank?
When you complete a Rank, you will earn clams, as you can see above I got 25 clams for completing Rank 1. Unlocking 3 characters/costumes from a rank should unlock the next available Rank. Be aware only Ranks 1-4 are open initially, other Ranks will open weekly.
But there’s a glitch, for some of us as completing the requirements for opening Rank 2 isn’t working, I’ll discuss this further on in the post.
I’m at Rank 5 after completing Ranks 1-4 but Rank 5 is still locked?
This isn’t the glitch I’m referring to but deliberate, Rank 5 doesn’t open until next week, and after this we’ll see further ranks open each week. As you can see above there’s a timer counting down until each new rank opens.
How many Ranks are there?
Lots and lots, at the moment there’s 122, and if they stick to the current rate of weekly openings, Rank 122 won’t open until 15th February 2022. So this isn’t something you’ll be able to rush through. Of course we may see the unlock periods adjusted and we’ll move through ranks quicker, I’ll keep you posted on this.
It’s also a total of 488 characters and costumes that are up for grabs, including many that were, and some that still are premium. Even the 700 Clam Kool-Aid Man is there. Sorry but Kool-Aid Man seems to have disappeared from QHS.
Rank Glitch!!!
There’s a glitch where some players, including me, can’t progress as Rank 2 isn’t opening for us. It appears to be mainly affecting players who already had all the Rank 1 characters already and support are looking into a fix for this.
Hope this helps answer some of your questions!!!

I have messaged support letting them know about this and pointed out to them that lack of event buildings is going to result in a mass amount of players having a crazy giant list of open quests.
Hopefully they come up with some kind of solution that isn’t them trying to sell past event buildings for Clams lol.

I do have the glitch that rewards me 4 clams every time I login, but then takes them away after an Ollieland visit. I’m not sure if that’s related though. It was 25 clams, so I guess I’ll just kiss them goodbye as I doubt support will be helpful. I sent them an in-game message anyway.

Hey, is the trophy’s sole use meant to be converted to medals or can it be used for something else? I’m hesitant to convert because of this. Also, after unlocking Peters outfit I didn’t receive any medals, nor the 333 per component as I checked them off. Did I instead receive a trophy, which would account for the missing 999, or did it just glitch and I didn’t get them? Thx
LikeLike
Yes for full unlocking you get 1 Trophy worth 1000 Medals, the medals shown on the unlock screen are what you’d get pro rata if you didn’t fully unlock him.
At this time trophies are only used for this so convert them as you need them.
