    • He’s only on iOS, so if you don’t have iOS you can’t unlock him. It might just be a glitch in your game if that’s the case. If you’d like it off your task bar, best bet is to contact TinyCo and see if they can remove it. 🙂

            • Ok..cool…You must first go into your Facebook account and go into “settings”, find the “Apps” section and you will see the Family Guy game. Select it and then select “remove Family Guy: The Quest For Stuff”. This will unlink the old game. Now start the family guy game, go to the account info section, select “sign in as someone else”, then enter your Facebook account to link the new game. If this doesn’t work. Send a message to TinyCo through the “contact us” in game feature (located in the help & support section of the main menu) from the new game and tell them about the problem. Let us know how it works out for you. 😉

    • Sorry to hear you’re having problems. The response time varies depending on how many problems are being reported and the nature of the problem. They do their best to respond quickly. I have dealt with them many times and got a response within 3 days on average. Have you tried hard closing the game, shutting off your device, then turning on and starting the game again? It sometimes work to clear an error message. Also, FYI, the numbers on the load screen are not your game ID number. Your game ID. is the number on the lower right corner of the “Account Info” screen. 😉

I’m always curious about how other members have made their Quahog look. I thought it would be a neat idea if you guys had a section on the site where players could screenshot their towns or their favorite part of it and post it so everyone could share their towns and view how others created theirs. Let me know what you think! 😊

    • We were waiting for more land to unlock and the towns got bigger. Right now, most look the same. Same stuff crammed into a small space. Those players that do create unique areas show them off here and there in the comment sections already. Might I suggest you create a “fake” Facebook account (no personal information) used solely to add gaming friends. That’s what I did…..I never had an account before. Here is the link to add friends should you decide to go for it.

    • First, make sure your game has an email account set up, or Facebook/Google linked account (this keeps the game “safe” from being deleted). Second, download the game onto the new phone. Third, play the “new” game until it gets to the point where the “main menu” icon is available. Go to the “account info” section. Select “sign in as someone else”. Select facebook’s “Press to sign on!”. Enter your Facebook information. You’ll get a warning screen saying your about to delete your level 1 game.

        • Your game is safe as long as you have created an email account or a Facebook/Google linked account. You’ll know it’s linked to Facebook if you have been visiting friends in the multiverse. Then uninstall/reinstall the game. It will start from the beginning…don’t freak out…just play it until you get to the point where the main menu icon appears. Select it, go to “account info” and enter your account information. If the Brian quest to remove the bulls isn’t there, there’s nothing more you can do except send emails ( help@tinyco.com ) and open another in-game ticket from the “contact us” section of the help area. Good luck….I know you will get this resolved..it just might take a little more time. Hang in there. 🙂

They have a smaller staff on weekends and most took the 4th of July weekend off, but Monday they should be ready to Rock-n-roll for you. Keep us up to date. Thanks 😉

                Question… is unlocking Meg a requirement to get rid of the bulls? I haven’t got her yet. I do have Brian and the doctor though. And Brian seems to be the key requirement. So I don’t see why it shouldn’t work. But as Meg is from the district before the civic center, I wonder if perhaps that triggered the glitch? (the waterpark is expensive when you try and catch up with the normal game at the same time as quests like king butt and 4th of july :p).

Look for a topic called “Apps”. Open this and you should see the icon of Peter and the FG:TQFS title. Select it…now look for the button that says “Remove Family Guy: The Quest For Stuff”. This should unlink your account. Hard close the game (if you haven’t already and go to the account info section of the main menu). Select “sign in as someone else”, select the Facebook sign in option and enter the new face book account.

Firstly, I notice on the “FaceSpace” page under the characters you buy section I see Jake Tucker, the brain damaged horse (purchased those two), then the silhouettes for Consuela and Buzz Killington. After those I see a ? I was curious if this means there will be another character available for purchase by clams? Last question is I have unlocked Connie D’amico (not sure if I spelled that right) and I went to look at her FaceSpace and all she has is saying she attended the emergency meeting. Just wondering since she’s the “popular high school kid” why her FaceSpace wouldn’t be themed towards that? I.e. “selfies” and posts with lots of likes. Sorry for the silly questions, I really like the attention to detail in the game and enjoy checking it out 😊 Thanks!
