Halloween Phase 2 Rundown (Updated and Complete)

Posted on October 9, 2014 by | 619 comments

Update 10/14: Just fully completed the rundown post, with images and details.  Everything you’ll need for the basics is there.  Including a few new decorations TinyCo just added.  Thanks for your patience guys! 🙂

UPDATE BUNNY 2:10 PM EST: TinyCo JUST pushed a fix for the Poltergeists issue. For those players on Fright Level 7 and above, it seems to have impacted the most. So give it a moment to load and you should be good to go. 🙂

They are also looking into the issue of Banshees. Waiting for clarification on spawn rates, etc. Will update once we have more details.

MORE INFO… Banshees should be spawning 2 every 3 hours for a max of 4 in your town at once.  So if you are not seeing them at this rate (you have to have Ghostbuster Quagmire to start to clear them and have them regenerate), please contact TinyCo.

UPDATE BUNNY: Sorry for the delay, was hurrying to get back to a signal so I could pass this on. We have already reported the issues with Predator not leveling up, Grey ghosts not droppin vials, and Poltergeists not counting that are impacting players.  Will update when we get anymore info on it. Our hopes is they can locate and fix issues soon. They are working on it.

UPDATE: We’ll be live tweeting through the event tonight….you can follow us on twitter @famguyaddicts

UPDATE..again….TinyCo has just announced American Dad with be the NEXT Event!!  Are YOU excited?!

Hello There Clammers!

We’re coming to you live from San Francisco!  Just before the start of the Tiny Hour Event and…TinyCo had dropped an update on us (would we expect anything less?) Continue reading →

Halloween Character Profile: Diane Simmons

Posted on October 7, 2014 by | 90 comments

Hello There Clammers!

Halloween has arrived in Quahog!  And Peter, in typical Peter fashion, has decided to tick off the dead.  In doing so Peter accidentally opens a dark portal in the Quahog cemetery and unleashes all manner of ghosts and goblins on the city…your job is to help round up these ghost, goblins and ghouls!  And while he’s at it he’s decided there weren’t enough ghostly figures wandering around Quahog that he goes and digs up Diane Simmons!

Of course to enjoy all Diane has to offer in TQFS you’ll have to unlock her, which is fairly easy, depending on how much patience you have.  So let’s take a closer look at the details behind this serial killer…

Quahog Halloween Walkthrough: Diane Simmons in…Hell Hath No Fury

Posted on October 6, 2014 by | 204 comments

Hello There Clammers!

Of course once Diane is part of YOUR Tiny Quahog she’s got a bit of unfinished business to attend to!  So let’s get down to the details behind Diane’s questline and her return trip to Quahog!

Remember…Don’t Dig Up the grave (tap the hammer) until AFTER you’ve created Ghostbuster Peter.  Once you “find her” you’ll only have 5 days to unlock her or she’ll be gone forever.  So make sure you craft Ghostbuster Peter first…since he’s the key to unlocking her.

Halloween 2014: A Ghostbusting Good Time!

Posted on October 2, 2014 by | 878 comments

Hello There Clammers!

The time has come and the wait is over…Halloween is here!!!!!

Family Guy Halloween Splash Screen

More details as we go through them….but for now know that Peter kicks things off…and you’ll most likely get the popup saying reload for an awesome new event..

UPDATE BUNNY 730PM EST: For iOS and Android having crash issues, try again. iOS make sure you are on iOS 6 and completely updated. Android, make sure you download the newest update from the market and running on version 1.3.2.2 for the app. These should help with the iOS blue screen and the Android neighbor visits crashing. 

UPDATE BUNNY 215PM EST: Jailhouse Meg items should stop dropping now. A patch has been pushed from TinyCo. Please try force close/restart to clear this. 

As for the issue of the Spellbook/Portal sticking and not able to clear the task, they are working on it. 

We’re working on a spell to fix the crashing bug with the Spelbook. So far, yelling out “insectum reparo!” has not worked.

ANNNNNNNND They just pushed a patch for this. Try to force close and restart to put it in effect if you don’t see it. 

 

Update 11:55am EDT: Guys we’re working to get the info as fast as possible, but with everyone hitting the servers at once we’re getting the same connection dropped screens you are.  So we as that you be patient and give us just a bit of time to try and pull as much info as we can… 🙂

Also, there seems to be a little “hiccup” when Drunk Programmer Kevin flipped the switch (I guess it wasn’t sobered up enough)…and Android users will see different color tress but nothing else.  It’s coming, just be patient it should hit shortly.

So let’s break it all down shall we?  Remember…we’ll be updating THIS post as we go through everything, so keep checking back until you see the Updated and Complete in the title..

Let’s hunt some ghosts shall we? Continue reading →
