Items origins

Gameplay

Turkey Talk

After the user logs in on November 19: Lisa! A scary tiny dinosaur has escaped from the Springfield Jurassic Funstation. I've told you a million times, Dad, "The Jurassic Funstation" is something you made up entirely in your head. You're the one who told me that dinosaurs are feathered, scaly bipeds. So what's that? A turkey. Task: Tap Turkey Aah! It turned into a drumstick. It's the latest fantastic breakthrough from Monsarno labs! A turkey that turns itself into edible parts. Like all our riskiest genetic modifications, it immediately escaped into the wild. It's an environmental catastrophe! What if they breed with wild turkeys? ... problem solved. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Turkey Talk Too

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Whoa, Dad, you pulled out the deep fryer. Did the doctor warn you that your arteries might be de-plaquing? Deep-frying is the best way to cook turkey. And potatoes. And twinkies. In fact, it's the best way to cook everything but pork chops. There is no wrong way to cook pork chops. Task: Make Homer Deep Fry and Eat Turkey (6s, Simpson House) Mmm, deep fried deliciousness. The only way a turkey should be made. No, you should bake it! God told us when he made Moses spend 40 years baking in the desert. System Message Everyone's got turkey on the brain. Stuff yourself with Thanksgiving content! Quest reward: 100 and 10

King-Size Debate

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Chief, we got a mob fighting downtown. Seems they're arguing over the best way to cook a Thanksgiving turkey. I have strong opinions about that! Let's go join in! No, no, we're the police. We're supposed to stop mob fights. You're just saying that because your turkey recipe sucks. You don't even know my recipe. I have a great recipe! That's it. Police mob fight. Task: Make Springfield Adults Angrily Debate Turkey Prep [x4] (6s, Simpson House) Fry it! Bake it! Roast it! Grill it! Did anyone say brining? Do you even know what brining is, Chief? I know it's something you didn't say first. I call brining! Quest reward: 100 and 10

King-Sized Judgement

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Fellow citizens, we cannot let an argument about turkey preparation tear our town apart. We must save our energy for more important issues, like what are the best side dishes. Cranberry! Yes, that's a good one. We shall determine the best turkey recipe with a fair contest -- the Springfield Fowl Face-Off. Everyone will submit a turkey sample for judging. But who's going to be the judge? Good question. We need someone independent, wise, hungry, and married. Why married? So that he's stopped caring how fat he looks. Task: Make Fatsos Apply to Judge the Turkey Contest [x3] (6s, Town Hall, Brown House or Simpson House) Characters: Homer, Comic Book Guy, Wiggum, Luigi, Chalmers, Judge Snyder, Dr. Hibbert, Bumblebee Man, The Rich Texan After reviewing hundreds of applications for a turkey contest judge, I've chosen the man I was going to choose anyway: Homer Simpson. Homer, please don't be the judge of this turkey-malurkey. I had a dream where you were dying with two turkey drumsticks stuffed up your nose. Only two? That does sound bad. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Gobble, Gobble, Toil and Trouble

Gobble, Gobble, Toil and Trouble Pt. 1

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: My son, I couldn't help overhearing. Judging this contest is a grave responsibility. I will send you on a vision quest to decide if this task is yours. Great Tribal Chief, you are noble and true. Hand over the funky peyote and I will go on my trip... I mean "quest." The spirits of your ancestors will guide you. Meanwhile, I'll have more time to work on my awesome smoked turkey recipe. System Message The Tribal Chief has returned to Springfield to distract you with a vision quest. Task: Make Homer Go on a Vision Quest (60m) Task: Gather Drumsticks [x20] What an amazing vision. The spirits showed me a simple path to better health, less drinking, higher income, and a richer and more fulfilling life. Anyway, back to gobbling massive amounts of turkey. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Gobble, Gobble, Toil and Trouble Pt. 2

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Mmm, your smoked turkey is delicious, Tribal Chief. A definite contender. Dad, you've already tasted the turkey, why are you eating all the rest of it? Tribal Chief told me to. Our people believe no part of the animal should go to waste. Also, if he fills up on my turkey, maybe he won't have room to eat and judge anyone else's. You don't know much about my dad, do you? Oh no! He's choking on the wishbone. Someone save him! No, Lisa. Our people believe that when your ancestors call you to the Great Beyond, a brave warrior should go willingly. Also, if he dies after judging only my entry I win automatically. Task: Make Ghost Homer Give Real Homer a Heimlich (3h) Task: Gather Drumsticks [x80] Phew, thanks, Ghost Me. You always have our back. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Gobble, Gobble, Toil and Trouble Pt. 3

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: How do you lak my turkey, Your Honor? It tastes like a hillbilly. I soaks it in XXX white lightnin' then cooks it in the barn so it absorbs the aroma of donkey and chicken making. Cletus, get yer cookin' stuff out of the barn. Where are the kids supposed to play, do their homework, and sleep? The contest is going swimmingly, unlike one of my previous girlfriends. Turkeys are coming in from every Springfielder. Then it's time to get serious. Marge, let out my pants. I let them out as much as I can. The sewing machine refuses to work when it sees me coming with your pants. Then it's time to visit the professionals. Task: Make Homer Visit the Vast Waistband (7h, The Vast Waistband) Task: Gather Drumsticks [x70] Clear your palate, Judge. We have another truckload of Springfielder turkey incoming. A truckload?! This simple dinner table doesn't give me enough range to eat as much and as fast as I need. However, I have come up with plans for a much more sophisticated device. It's a circle with little food scribbles on it... It is a three hundred and sixty degree buffet that I sit inside. I will have achieved man's greatest dream: to have food coming at him from every direction. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Gobble, Gobble, Toil and Trouble Pt. 4

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: As a vegetarian, I cannot cook turkey, but I would like to submit this entry made of Kwik-E-Mart Brand Tofurkey. Why, Apu? Indians don't even celebrate Thanksgiving. No, but we are incredibly competitive. Also, I am desperate to promote Kwik-E-Mart Tofurkey, because no one on earth is buying it. Fine, place it at position south by southwest on my buffet. That's where the weird indie stuff goes. Task: Make Homer Enjoy a 360 Degree Buffet (4h, 360 Degree Buffet Table) Task: Gather Drumsticks [x100] I never thought I'd say this, but I only want to eat nine or ten more whole turkeys. No time to wimp out now, Judge. Another container of turkeys is coming off the ship. Ship?! I thought this was a Springfield competition. Uh, there were some billionaire contributors to my campaign who demanded a chance to win. Fret not, Homer. I have an invention that will increase your already impressive rate of gobbling by 200%. I call it the Turkey Stuffer*. The * indicates that it is not a device for placing stuffing into turkeys, but rather for stuffing turkeys into a human being. Like all true science, it is an utter abomination against God's order. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Gobble, Gobble, Toil and Trouble Pt. 5

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: I never want to eat another turkey. I hate it so much. The very thought of turkey sickens me. The latest batch is ready for judging. Hey, where's that machine that helps me gobble turkeys? Task: Make Homer Eat Turkey at Maximum Efficiency (16h, Turkey Stuffer) Homer, it's time for you to pick the winner of the first and hopefully last ever Springfield Turkey Contest! Homer? Homer?! He's asleep. He's eaten so much tryptophan he'll probably be out for a month. If the judge can't decide, the winner is the tribal chief who had his turkey eaten first. That's me! I don't recall that rule. But I hate recalls. So, like all Springfield contests, the prize goes to the person who cheated hardest. System Message Congratulations on completing Gobble, Gobble, Toil and Trouble! But the story doesn't end here. Check out how King-Size Homer deals with his new girth. Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Fat and the Futilest

The Fat and the Futilest Pt. 1

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Hey, look at me! I'm enormous! The jiggling fat is mesmerizing. This is terrible, Homie. Can you even move yourself around? Not without a lot of effort. And effort is the one thing the fat man avoids. Like every great person of girth, I will preserve my dignity by riding around on a tiny scooter. Task: Make King-Size Homer Ride Around Town (8h) Smithers, please tell me that lard-filled balloon I just saw riding around town doesn't work for me. I'm afraid so, sir. Homer Simpson. I won't have fatties around the plant. They always turn out to be wise-offs or union men. It's against labor regulations to fire a man because he's overweight. I suppose it's against labor regulations to drop him through my trap door. No, but I don't think he'd fit. Damn it, Smithers, you're the one who told me to save money by going for the medium diameter trap door! I guess we'll just have to let him work from home. System Message Get Homer's Work From Home Station so he can do work without putting his pants on! Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Fat and the Futilest Pt. 2

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Dad, do we really have to go to the beach? First off, you're wearing a Speedo, and second, I can't even see it because of your fat folds. Yes... I'm definitely... wearing something... under my fat folds. Task: Make King-Size Homer Let it All Hang Out at the Beach (6h, Beach or River) Hey everyone, check out the white whale that beached itself! It's so sad and ugly. Grab it's flesh bags and roll it into the water. I'm not a white whale, I'm a lightly tanned fatso! Don't treat me like an animal. Like an animal is also how we treat fat people. Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Fat and the Futilest Pt. 3

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Homer, this is ridiculous. Your mass is so large you have two small moons orbiting you. Marge, that's offensive fat-shaming. It's not my fault that God made me a man who chose to get gigantic so he could work from home. I'm going to find a fat support group on the internet. No matter how crazy your ideas are, there's always 200 people online who'll agree with you. Task: Make King-Size Homer Chat Online with a Fat Support Group (16h, Java Server or Simpson House) On job start: Hey Homer, you learning anything from your online fat support group? Yes. Nothing puts on weight like freemium gaming. Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Fat and the Futilest Pt. 4

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Marge, my dinner! Something happened to it. Something awful! I made you a salad. But I'm a growing boy! I put on over fifty pounds just today. I'm going to the place where they support and love the chronically obese: Krusty Burger. You were banned from Krusty Burger because the sight of you was scaring other diners into wanting to eat healthier. Also, you couldn't fit through the door. They foiled me with their normal-sized doors. But they can't keep me out of the drive-thru. Task: Reach Level 7 and Build Krusty Burger Task: Make King-Size Homer Walk Through Drive-Thru (4h, Krusty Burger) On job start: I'm sorry, sir, but the drive-thru is cars only. Are you saying I can't eat here because I'm a person? I'm saying you weigh as much as a truck, and you'll damage the pavement. Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Fat and the Futilest Pt. 5

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Homer, I've been hoping you'll come to your senses and lose some weight, but it just isn't happening. So I have no choice but to use extremely wifely measures. If you mean you're going to deny me sex, when I'm this fat that's a little redundant. I'm going to nag you. The ultimate weapon! Well, do your worst. Task: Reach Level 15 and Build Moe's Tavern Task: Make Marge Nag Homer About His Weight (30m, Simpson House) Task: Make Homer Get Whipped into Shape (30m, Mr. Burns) Mom, your nagging worked! Dad is thin again. Actually, I didn't nag your father. I nagged Sky Finger. That person can do anything. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Jacqueline Bouvier Raccomandation

After the user logs in on November 23: Mom?! What are you doing in my kitchen? Everyone is making turkey. I wanted to share my recipe with my family. It's two in the morning. How did you even get in? I've had a key made to every place you've ever lived. While you sleep, I lurk. System Message Here's your chance to bring the whole family together. Jacqueline Bouvier is in the store!

Happy Thanksgiving 2015

After the user logs in on November 26: System Message In the spirit of giving thanks, have 7 donuts on the house! Seven lousy donuts?! That's chump change compared to the last few holiday giveaways. System Message You're right. We're always listening, so have 5 more donuts! They're going to raise the minimum wage at the plant. Which means your 12 donuts aren't worth as much to me anymore. How about that climate change? We need to have a stockpile of donuts to keep us warm! System Message Okay, fine. Have a few more. But don't push your luck, you Thanksgiving jerk. Quest reward: 15

Premium gameplay

Work From Home Station

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: This work from home station has everything I need! Plus-sized chair for my sexily large rear end. Large keys for my sausage fingers. And a megaphone I can use to order my kids to push the buttons. Task: Work From Home (2h, Work From Home Station) How's working from home, Dad? Fantastic. I'm just as productive as if I was at the plant. Meaning you accomplished nothing. I ate all the leftovers in the fridge. That's something. System Message Finish Gobble, Gobble, Toil and Trouble by December 1st to unlock a special King-Size Homer animated job! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Bart Balloon

After buying Bart Balloon: Finally, a giant balloon celebrating Springfield's most awesome kid. It looks just like me. Not quite. The real you is more gas-filled. Eat my helium shorts!

Leftovers

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: Looks like we have a lot of Thanksgiving leftovers. Maybe we could roll the table outside and let the wild critters have at it. I find it hard to believe an animal would eat anything my father passed on. But let's give it a try. Task: Place Outdoor Feast Table Task: Make Sacagawea Host a Peace Feast for Puritan Flanders (10h, Outdoor Feast Table, Ned) Quest reward: 100 and 10
