Gameplay[edit]

Meet My Trophy Life[edit]

Meet My Trophy Life Pt. 8[edit]

After the user logs in on July 3 and taps on Homer's exclamation mark: Well, that settles it -- Homer Simpson is a marketing genius. I mean, if there were some sort of theoretical ranking of the most popular sport people came to for the first time -- -- Tap Ball wouldn't even be on it, because it's free. But if there was some list of the most PROFITABLE sports, amazingly Tap Ball would be near the top!. At least from time to time. Depending on if the latest updates to our "sport" were any good. And all because a few individuals, for whatever reason, are willing to spend a lot of money on Tap Ball premium items! Who are these people? I don't know. But they sure are wonderful. If it weren't for their generosity, I could never hire writers to create this hastily thrown together but occasionally funny dialog for me to say. Homer Simpson? Yes? I represent Electronic Arts. We're big fans of Tap Ball, and money in general. We would love to make a video game based on your sport. If you'll sign here, we can have "Simpson's Tapped Ball" in stores in less than two months. They sell video games in stores? For the next few years they still do. Task: Make Homer Squeeze into a Motion Capture Suit (8h, Simpson Home) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Meet My Trophy Life Pt. 9[edit]

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: That was a clear violation of rule twenty-four: no running over other players with a foreign-made car. You're right! Totally forgot. Sorry, Carl. No problem. Even I have to admit it was a pretty good squishing. I'm a little worried about how competitive people are getting. Competition is what made America great, back when it used to be great. Sport isn't just about beating your opponents and showing off. What about sportsmanship? Teamwork? Friendly competition? Hmmm... I guess it works for the New England Patriots... I'm going to make up my own version of Tap Ball! One that encourages people to work together. Why would people work as a team to share a prize when they can compete to keep their own prize? People aren't so selfish. You'll see. System Message You can now play catch with other Springfields! Throw a ball into their Springfield and they'll throw one back to you! Everyone can work together to win community prizes. Task: Purchase Sports Ball Task: Throw a Ball in Another Springfield Quest reward: 100 and 10

Meet My Trophy Life Pt. 10[edit]

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Mr. Homer, as a corporate sponsor of Tap Ball, I have grave concerns about this new "Co-operative Mode." A sport where no one loses is a sport that you cannot bet on. We're turning our back on degenerates! It is my duty as a team owner to pretend I disapprove of gambling, while simultaneously doing everything I can to encourage the practice. You're right. Think of the bookies. The poor bookies... Co-operative Mode is un-American! I want losers I can feel sorry for, and winners I can resent for gettin' paid too much! No! Co-operative Mode is sport at its finest! Support Co-operative Mode! Don't listen to her! Support the other thing! Task: Make Springfielders Support Competitive Mode [x10] (12h, Stadium Entrance) Task: Make Springfielders Support Co-operative Mode [x10] (12h, Stadium Entrance) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Premium gameplay[edit]

Gorgeous Grampa[edit]

Sports were better in my day, when we played them without equipment. We didn't have baseballs, so we used a rock. And we didn't have baseball bats so we used a different rock. But the greatest equipment-less sport of all was wrestling! Just two oiled-up men grabbing each other's anatomy. Attention everyone! Tap ball players over the age of 60 must wear a shirt. Wrestling with a shirt on ain't wrestling! System Message Gorgeous Grampa is now available in the store! He can't play Tap Ball, but with hair like that who cares?

D Biscuit[edit]

D Biscuit Pt. 1[edit]

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark: *neigh* Duncan! My old racehorse! You're back! Whaddya say? Should we get back on the track? And then make another visit to the secret underground lair of the murderous jockeys? *shakes head* Yeah, I guess not. Nobody was too crazy about it the first time. Kind of a misstep, they all said. *nods emphatically* Well lets find what it is that you do want to do. Task: Make Jockey Bart and Furious D Find a Hobby (24h, Springfield Library, Furious D) Quest reward: 100 and 10

D Biscuit Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark: We've tried skeet shooting, BASE jumping, gin rummy... I'm running out of ideas. What DO horses enjoy? *assumes cool pose* Just walk around looking cool, huh? Well, it is about all I'm qualified to do. Task: Make Jockey Bart Whip Around Town (12h) Task: Make Furious D Be Cool (12h) Quest reward: 100 and 10

D Biscuit Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark: Last time I saw you, D, you were running off with that lady horse. What happened with you two? *neighs* Yeah, buying a house is tough. Don't feel bad -- the stress causes a lot of couples to break up. Let's commiserate, over a meal that's most likely made from a relative of yours. Task: Make Jockey Bart Eat at Krusty Burger (1h, Krusty Burger) Task: Make Furious D Eat at Krusty Burger (1h, Krusty Burger) Quest reward: 100 and 10

D Biscuit Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark: See, I just think you need to get back in the saddle. Or, under the saddle, in this case. That filly had you wrapped around her hoof so tight, you forgot that you're born to run. What do you say? Should we go for a practice run? *makes a gesture that, when it comes from a horse, means "I don't know, Bart. It's been so long."* Just a quick gallop around town. Task: Make Jockey Bart Ride Around Town (4h, Bart) Quest reward: 100 and 10

D Biscuit Pt. 5[edit]

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark: You still got it, D! That's it! I'm gonna find us a race to enter at Springfield Downs! Task: Make Jockey Bart Check the Race Schedule (1h, Springfield Downs) There's a race on today D! We can so win this! *another gesture, meaning: "Though the outcome is anything but certain, I can no longer deny what I am."* Hehehe, classic D! Quest reward: 100 and 10

D Biscuit Pt. 6[edit]

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark: All right, D! Let's break the track record! *neighs. Translation: "I shall make every effort to reward your confidence in me, my young friend."* Task: Make Jockey Bart Ride Furious D Around the Track (24h, Springfield Downs) Task: Make Furious D Run Around the Track (24h, Springfield Downs) On job start: How come we're the only horse in this race? *neighs. Translation: "Maybe the obese policeman will know why."* I sure do know why! D is the only horse in Springfield. Lisa had a pony once, but we haven't gotten around to that story yet. Shut up, all of you! I got a thousand bucks on this one-horse race! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Bumbling Around[edit]

After buying Basketball Stadium: My strange, beehive-themed basketball stadium is a stirring reminder that the idiot public can be made to pay for anything. They build me a $250,000,000 stadium, and I provide them with a few minimum-wage jobs slinging hot dogs forty nights a year. Everyone wins! Ay-yi-yi! Una gran casa para mi familia! Task: Make Burns Learn About Modern Basketball (8h, Control Building) If the user has Bumblebee Man: Task: Make Bumblebee Man Move into the Stadium (8h, Basketball Stadium) My beautiful stadium has been infested with bees! Smithers, call a bee exterminator! No es bueno, Senor Burns! Soy un hombre! I think he's saying that he's a man, sir. Well, we have exterminators for those, too. They are slightly more expensive than insect exterminators. True, but I do so love watching them work. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Four Fingers of Death[edit]

Four Fingers of Death Pt. 1[edit]

After tapping on Comic Book Guy's exclamation mark: Hey, look, everybody! It's the Kung Fu Panda! Judge me by my girth, do you? You are a foolish child, unwise in the ways of gongfu. I have devoted years to studying the eldritch secrets of the East, learning from the greatest masters: Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Keanu Reeves in "The Matrix," Chris Farley in "Beverly Hills Ninja..." ...and, yes, the aforementioned Kung Fu Panda. Seriously, I know he's a cartoon, but the dude knows his stuff. I can teach you much, if you would but listen. Task: Make Kung Fu Comic Book Guy Teach Kung Fu (8h, Community Center or Android's Dungeon) Task: Make Bart Attend Kung Fu Class (1h, Community Center or Android's Dungeon) A true Master can erect an impenetrable defense. I shall demonstrate. Please, young Bart, attack me however you like. Oof! Gah! Let go of the pony tail! Yowza! Right in the chi! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Four Fingers of Death Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Comic Book Guy's exclamation mark: Defeated by a child! I have brought shame upon my dojo and upon my family, two entities that were none-too-crazy about me to begin with. Clearly, I need further training. To the couch! Task: Make Kung Fu Comic Book Guy Binge Watch Kung Fu Movies (24h, Android's Dungeon) At last, the movies have revealed the weakness in my gongfu! Was I defeated because I can't do a sit-up without the aid of a gantry crane? No! I merely lack a strong revenge motive! Kumiko! I swear I will avenge your death at the hands of Bart Simpson! I'm not dead, my gigantic love. Obviously! I'm only FANTASIZING that my wife is dead. It's something all great husbands do. I was not aware of this, my strange, obese soul mate. Carry on. Oh, why have I been cursed with a wonderful, living wife?! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Four Fingers of Death Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Comic Book Guy's exclamation mark: My otherwise regal body is not, I admit, ideally suited to the exertions of hand-to-hand combat. Being struck by my fat-wrapped fists is like snuggling into a mountain of the softest eider down. Being kicked by my legs is like... well, I can't raise them more than six inches, so it's irrelevant. But I DO have something far more important -- the cunning reflexes of a jungle cat. Therefore, I shall dedicate myself to mastering that most ancient of weapons... Nice nunchucks, you wad! They are properly called "nunchaku!" A-doy! You just tied two Wii controllers end-to-end by the straps. THEY STILL COUNT! No they don't. Plastic nunchucks are no nunchucks at all, you dope. It's "nunchaku!" A-doy! A thousand times a-doy! Task: Make Kung Fu Comic Book Guy Use Nunchaku (12h) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Four Fingers of Death Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Comic Book Guy's exclamation mark: Soon I will face Bart Simpson in a fateful and deadly clash of martial arts grand masters. A little more practice, followed by a lengthy fast food crawl through Springfield's Trans Fat District, and my body will be prepared. Task: Make Kung Fu Comic Book Guy Practice Moves (4h) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Four Fingers of Death Pt. 5[edit]

After tapping on Comic Book Guy's exclamation mark: Bart Simpson, I challenge you! Stand and face me, if you be man enough, in the ultimate gongfu arena: A head-to-head battle in "Martial Arts Eviscerators 7: Entrails of Fury Edition!" Wait. You want to challenge me to a kung fu VIDEO GAME? Not my original plan. Let's just say Krustyburger's new "Bacon-wrapped Fish Taco Pizzaburger with Ranch Drizzles" is not easy on the digestive system. I'm in no shape to fight. But enough talk. Choose your controller. Task: Make Kung Fu Comic Book Guy Challenge His Rival (16h, Android's Dungeon) Yes! You are defeated, Bart Simpson! I have proven myself the master! The "X" button on this controller doesn't work. And you were in "God Mode" the whole time. A true master makes full use of cheat codes. Let this be your first lesson, my pupil. Not for nothing, "master," but you really need to move around more. Your flab is growing into the couch. Yes, I know. Quest reward: 100 and 10

I Lava Good Fight Scene[edit]

Requires Volcano Lair

After tapping on Comic Book Guy's exclamation mark: *gasp* How have I never noticed this enormous volcano on the edge of town? What a perfect location for an underground lair. Already taken, friend! Sorry about that. I know how rarely active volcanoes with an open floor plan come on the underground lair market. Perhaps I could leave you my card? In case you ever want to sell. You know, that's a great idea? Operation Vertumnus is entering Phase 3 any day now. In a month or two, I'll be pulling up stakes for the lifeless remains of San Francisco. If I can ever get the Desiccation Ray working! You don't happen to know anyone who has a metric ton of Carbon-12 Negative-Matrix Nightmare Crystals to unload, do you? Sadly, no. Yeah, they're hard to find. Messing up my whole supply chain. But no one said holding the planet for ransom has to be easy! Anyway, if all that pans out, I'd sure like to pass the volcano lair to someone who'll give it the love it deserves. Now, I couldn't help but notice you're wearing a karate gi. What do you know about the martial arts, friend? Everything. Dandy! How'd you like to train my fighting force? They don't need to be any good, you understand. I just need them to run at the good guys and get mowed down while I escape in my Invisible Atomic Rocket Sled. Task: Make Kung Fu Comic Book Guy Battle B-Movie Style (16h, Volcano Lair) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Alley's Well that Ends Well[edit]

After unlocking Alley Mcballs: Hey, look! There's a new store in town. And it sells... bowling supplies. Because there's a lot of bowling-supplies-only stores in the real world, right? Are we completely abandoning the idea that Springfield is IN ANY WAY based on real life? Is that what we're doing? Well, Alley McBalls' name IS a lame pun on a briefly-popular, late-1990s TV dramedy. That's pretty realistic, right? I give up. Just tell us what mission we're supposed to do at "Alley McBalls," and we'll do it. Unless, of course, we pass out from laughing at that HILARIOUS NAME. Well, it says we're supposed to make ten bowlers "Fight for Free Stuff." But Moe, if you don't want to-- No, I'm sick of caring! Let's just do this! Then afterwards, maybe I'll head over to "Boston Eagle" to buy some eagle food to feed my pet eagle. That's all they sell there. It's also very realistic. THEN... it's over to "Touched by an Angel Food Cake." Guess what they sell? Moe, don't do this... ANGEL FOOD CAKE MIX AND NOTHING ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Task: Make Bowlers Fight for Free Stuff [x10] (16h, Alley McBalls) Quest reward: 100 and 10

System Message Tap Springy to see a fun animation! Task: Tap Springy Quest reward: 100 and 10

Marge Point[edit]

Marge Point Pt. 1[edit]

After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark: How come I'm never included in all these fun things that happen in Springfield? Well, you were the last family member to appear in the game. We have to structure quests so that new players don't see you before they've unlocked you. So I'm being hamstrung by creative decisions we made years ago, when we didn't think this game would even last a month? Uh... You know what might pick you up, Mom? If you found a sports-y thing to do of your own. On it! Task: Make Tennis Marge Search the Basement for a Hobby (4h, Simpson Home) Oooh! A tennis racket! Maybe that can be my thing. Probably for the best, since I'm already in a tennis outfit. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Marge Point Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark: If I'm going to play great tennis, I need to work on my movement. Ideally, via a fun animation that will encourage people to use poor, underserved Marge more often... Task: Make Tennis Marge Crabwalk (24h) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Marge Point Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark: Now to convince one of these busy "major" Tapped Out characters to play tennis with me! Task: Make Tennis Marge Ask Lisa to Play Tennis (2h, Simpson Home) Task: Make Tennis Marge Ask Apu to Play Tennis (2h, Kwik-E-Mart) Task: Make Tennis Marge Ask Homer to Play Tennis (2h, Simpson Home) On "Ask Lisa to Play Tennis" job start: Lisa, any time to play some Tennis with your mother? Can't. Super busy delivering exposition for all the other quests around here. On "Ask Apu to Play Tennis" job start: Hey, Apu! Care for a game of tennis? I would love to, but I am saddled with back-to-back-to-back 24-hour shifts at the Kwik-E-Mart. My time is simply not my own. And how I thank the "funny" people behind this game for introducing that 168-hour shift mission. Great stuff, guys!! On "Ask Homer to Play Tennis" job start: Homie, you think you can set aside some time for tennis with your beloved? I'd love to, sweetie. But as usual I've got like a thousand missions to set up. See, I started this new thing called "Tap Ball". And whenever anyone new gets involved, I have to be part of their story. Oh. Okay, well maybe Lisa has some spare time to play Tennis. *sigh* You just don't understand how it works around here, do you? On all jobs complete: Everyone is so busy in this town, how are two people supposed to do something together? Quest reward: 100 and 10

Marge Point Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark: Well, I guess I'm stuck doing a solo mission. I suppose I could practice tennis for 4 hours. What am I saying?! No one plays tennis for 4 hours. You're trying to kill me, EA, aren't you? You're trying to kill America's most beloved TV mom. Shame on you! Task: Make Tennis Marge Practice Serving (4h) Quest reward: 100 and 10
