  2. TinyCo just released, either a character or deco, called Superfan Keean. He is listed as 150 coins, but when I try to purchase him, a prompt asks me to confirm my purchase of 150 coins. I thought that only clam purchases did this.

    Do you think Superfan Keean is supposed to be a clam purchase? I don’t want to purchase thinking that he costs 150 coins but have 150 clams be taken away.

  5. Hi. Sorry if this is the wrong area for this, but I couldn’t see anything on the Brewery page. I have an issue with Chumba Wumba Stewie not being able to Round Up a Chumba Wumba. The action is locked saying that it requires a Chumba Wumba : of which I have two roaming the streets.
    Is this a known issue or is there something else I need to do to fix this?

    Like

    • There are two kinds of them. Ones you make by collecting items in the Brewery that can stay in your game. Then there are ones that appear just randomly in the game and Chumba Wumba Stewie clears them.

      So my question would be, what name and part # of the Questlines are you currently on?

  7. Not sure if it’s posted anywhere. I’m done with the district 9 quests. Finally crafted everything. How do I get my characters to stop dropping the items?
    Hopefully this makes sense 😊 Thanks for the help.

    Like

    • Do you mean District 10? The Brewery? If that’s what you mean the only want to get the characters to stop dropping stuff is to craft multiples allowed of each item. So if something can have 2 you need to craft both, if it can have 4 you need to craft 4. Otherwise they’ll keep dropping because you can keep crafting them

So I won’t be able to do Game On! Pt. 6 or Road to Victory Pt. 2…..

  12. So, i read your post about the Football event, got all excited, logged into the game just before the deadline for the last event, went in, bought a few event related items, sent my new toons (tiny lois / peter / lil chik) on adventures, logged out. Went back in an hour later, game said “Update Now”, so i clicked it, and when it updated, and logged me in, i’m back to as if i’ve never played the game before. Nothing is there except the start screen with peter, my 10 coins, and 4 clams. :/
    I’m on a Samsung Galaxy S6, I’ve never had a problem upgrading before, but now, boom, everything has reset. Sent TinyCo. a msg, but haven’t heard back, was wondering if you’ve heard of anything like before? O.o *crying my eyes out* (for dramatic effect! lol)

  16. Hi about 4 days ago my game stopped loading. I have uninstalled/reinstalled game twice, but it still will not load. I have emailed TinyCo. but have not heard back from them yet. I have been playing the game since day one and have a massive amount of characters/buildings not to mention all the coins/clams I have. Missed the ending of the last event and now the beginning of the Li’l Griffins event because of this. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    • I’m having this exact same problem – on multiple devices and different browsers. It’s been like that now for a week. I’ve done absolutely everything that could be done. Installed browsers on devices to test them out and had very limited results. I know the actual game hasn’t been updated for windows devices for a long time, but, any port in a storm… right?
      Devices include 2 windows devices (win 8.2 phone (bought this time last year), Win10 tablet (bought two months ago), Galaxy tab2 android tablet running Jellybean 4.2.2) and a Galaxy Fame phone (which isn’t used for phone calls any more, but I hadn’t got the heart to part with it and it’s useful for some online stuff, it’s running android jellybean 4.1.2) and firefox/chrome on two laptops (one vista, one w7) so.. if I can’t access it, it’s not a problem at my end. I’ve sent numerous crash reports only to get nothing back.
      I can’t even send a crash report on the w10 and android phone…
      It has only been in the last 12 hours or so that I’ve been able to get it running on my android phone – and it’s not loading anywhere else.
      I’m with you on this problem. I am hoping that tinyco kick enough backsides to get this issue sorted once and for all. No, I cannot afford to replace my android devices right now and if I could, I would.
      I’m almost at my wits end having tried absolutely every single thing there is to try – unintalling, restarting, installing, crashing, restarting… and so on ad infinitum.

  20. The best of 2015 event is misleading/confusing. If I spend 375 clams to unlock the box sets do I automatically get the characters unlocked or do you need to unlock them? If the latter there is no point wasting my money since the event ends today.

    I just feel I have lost a lot of money on this game if items don’t drop and with this event wasn’t given enough time notifying me about the event. If I pay for this event and don’t get it isn’t it just as bad as gambling or stealing since paying for nothing? Please help thanks.

    • I want to make sure you understand how the mystery boxes work.

      Each one has up to 9 items inside, depending who you already have, and you are paying 125 Clams for a “Chance” at ONE of those 9 items. As you keep paying 125, you’ll keep getting another until no one is left inside. It’s not 125 for the entire Box of items.

      They are all instant Characters/Costumes… no unlocking needed. If anything you just go to Al’s for the Costumes to complete their creation for 10 seconds.

    • So I will ask again, when you select all those characters… how many Buildings does it say it’s defeating? If it says anything less than 3/3 you are not defeating them. A defeat is ALL Buildings destroyed completely.

      So you need to Level up your vehicle so it has higher strength

      Like

      • Don’t want to leave you hanging so as soon as they are done trying to defeat it again I will double check but pretty sure it says 3/3 and the vehicle is leveled up to 20 something. But I will check in 1-1/2 hours when it’s done. THANK YOU!!

      • Ok, the vehicle is at 22. And when I tap on all three it says 2/3. I don’t understand that bc I have defeated it once before a couple weeks ago. Wouldn’t it stay at 3/3!? I will have 2 check marks and an X at times and others I will have 1 check and an X.

        THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!

        Like

        • That’s the thing… each time you defeat them… they increase their strength. So you again have to Level up the vehicle to counteract that increase. You would’ve seen a pop up telling you the elves strengthened the Buildings.

  37. Does anyone know what you get from Tom Tucker’s Mystery Box AFTER you’ve unlocked all of the bonus prizes?

    I waited until I got all of Tom’s requirement items to unlock the character (but I didn’t click to unlock him), then I started hitting the Mystery Box on the chance that — since I’d collected all of the required items already — I would receive bonus items instead; and I did! In fact, I got them all, included a Petercopter on my second try (and the Petercopter isn’t even listed as a reward for the Tom Tucker Mystery Box) .

    Anyway, now that I’ve won all of the prizes listed, it just shows a blank widow when I click on the green Mystery Box’s ‘prizes’ button. The Mystery Box is still there, obviously, and I don’t want to accidentally waste any clams on it (especially since I NEVER purchase them, and have only earned them through standard gameplay) if the box won’t yield any more loot, OR gives me worthless unlocking items that I don’t need at all.

    So does anyone know what it will give me if I try it again? Thanks in advance.
