Easter Boxes

In your Springfield, you zap bunnies to earn blue or pink eggs. One bunny generates every five minutes, with a maximum of 40 bunnies in your town at one time. The Bunny Stunner is activated when you tap and hold, and it stuns any bunny within proximity of your finger. You can also get eggs in your friends' towns by tapping on their buildings. The first 30 taps give you 5 eggs per tap, the next 30 give you 4 eggs per tap, the next 30 give you 2 eggs per tap, and the remaining 180 taps give you 1 egg per tap.

There are three types of Easter boxes, blue, pink, and gold. Once you collect 500 eggs of a certain color, you receive an Easter box for that color. The blue and pink eggs come from the bunnies, while the gold eggs are prizes from the blue and pink Easter boxes.

Players of the update are divided into two groups, the pink group and the blue group. Those in the pink group receive a majority of pink eggs, with quests and tasks rewarding pink eggs. Those in the blue group receive a majority of blue eggs, with quests and tasks rewarding blue eggs. There is no gold group. The odds for a box depend on which group you are in.

Easter baskets

Easter baskets can be obtained through donuts or by zapping bunnies. Once you place an Easter basket, a friend can place 100 eggs of one color (blue or pink) into that basket, and receive 50 eggs of the other color in exchange. A maximum of 400 eggs can be placed in a basket for exchange, and once that happens, the basket disappears. The owner of the basket will receive the 400 eggs placed in the basket. Baskets only work for one-way exchanges; blue to pink baskets only work in that direction, and vice-versa.

Easter

Four-Day Weekend For Our Sins Pt. 1

After the player logs in Whaaaaack...ing....day...whack...ing...day..... Whack-ing-day!... Whack-ing-day! WHACKINGDAY!!! WHACKINGDAY!!! WHACKINGDAYWHACKINGDAYWHACKINGDAYWHACKINGDAYWHACKINGDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lisa, know what day it is? Here's a hint -- it's the day we whack snakes with sticks until they die. Can you guess? ... Oh, right. I forgot you're not a fan. But even YOU can appreciate my new whacking stick. It's got everything -- a handle, the part you hit the snack with... and that's all. I've always been partial to Crushman Co.'s line of whacking sticks: the Brainseeker, the Snake Harmer, the Blunt Force Mama... Sure, those were fine sticks in their day. But the new carbon fiber whackers are light years ahead. It's almost like the snake is whacking itself. In all our squabbling over personal preference, let's not lose sight of the true meaning of Whacking Day -- God hates snakes. The player receives "Four-Day Weekend For Our Sins Pt. 1" which is to "Make Homer Prepare for Whacking Day", "Make Apu Prepare for Whacking Day", and "Make Willie Prepare for Whacking Day". It takes 24 hours.

Four-Day Weekend For Our Sins Pt. 2

After tapping on Homer Template:Tapped Out Bunny Icon ... Whacking Day is here, and all we've got in town are rabbits? How am I supposed to murder adorable, innocent bunnies? By bashing them in the skull, same as the snakes. I'll show ye. Willie, you wouldn't! Oot a me way, little girl! Now, I simply entice the fluffy devil to me with a carrot, raise me whacking stick, look into its innocent soulful eyes and... and... Ach! I canneh wack them. And now you don't have to! Thanks to my latest least-plausible -- the Bunny Stunner! Instead of humanely bopping them on the head, it will humanely shoot thousands of volts through their body. How is that humane? They've very few amps. Ugh, a science lesson?! Just shut up and let me try it already. The player receives "Four-Day Weekend For Our Sins Pt. 2" which is to "Humanely Zap Bunnies (x10)". I guess the upside here is that by letting the bunnies live, we can whack them again and again. It's quantity over quality -- the hallmark of Simpsons Tapped Out!

Four-Day Weekend For Our Sins Pt. 3

After tapping on Lisa Is it my imagination, or are these bunnies... laying eggs? You don't think that these are ACTUAL Easter Bunnies, do you? So the Easter Bunny is real? Because my friend Janey doesn't believe in him, yet she still gets a basket. It's only anecdotal evidence, but it's sent shock waves through the entire second grade's belief system. Of course the Easter Bunny is real! Don't listen to that moron Janey. Just cling tight to your remaning innocence with all your strenght, little girl. Okay, will do. Phew. Now, stand aside. Daddy's got some eggs to collect. The player receives "Four-Day Weekend For Our Sins Pt. 3" which is to "Make Homer Steal Easter Eggs". It takes 12 hours

Four-Day Weekend For Our Sins Pt. 4

After tapping on Ned Bunnies instead of snakes? It makes no sense! Maybe it does. Consider that over the years, we've whacked the local snake population into near-extinction. Leaving bunnies without a key predator, thereby allowing their numbers to explode. Once again, we see evidence of the fludity of natural ecosystems. Animal populations change over time depending on their environment. So you're saying that all these bunnies are proof that nature is capable of adaptation and change. Sort of like evolution? I suppose... Well, we can't have evidence of evolution hopping around everywhere. Time to go bunny-huntin'! The player receives "Four-Day Weekend For Our Sins Pt. 4" which is to "Make Ned Hunt Bunnies". It takes 16 hours

Four-Day Weekend For Our Sins Pt. 5

After tapping on Homer I remember my first rabbit hunt like it was yesterday. I had hired myself out as a guide on an African safari. My client's name? Teddy Roosevelt. Dad, that's great, but I'm kind of busy right-- We were pushing through the undernush, in search of a 12-point bull rabbit the indigenous people called "El Guapo." Teddy Roosevelt died before you were born, "El Guapo" is Spanish, and "12-point" refers to antlers, which rabbits don't have. Now, I really have to-- I spotted El Guapo up ahed. He was leaning casually on the rim of his rabbit hole, chomping a carrot and giving me the old "What's up, Doc?" That's a cartoon and-- I snuck up to him, but just before I shot, the wascally bandit informed me that wabbit season had just ended, and that it was now duck season. Imagine my shock! The player receives "Four-Day Weekend For Our Sins Pt. 5" which is to "Make Homer Endure One of Grampa's Stories". It takes 24 hours

Four-Day Weekend For Our Sins Pt. 6

After tapping on Apu Hello, Lisa! Care to choose from our selection of ultra-high-quality Easter-themed items? A few days ago this store was stuffed with Whacking Day supplies. How'd you switch to Easter so quickly? You think it's so difficult getting plastic junk in a hurry? That said, this is, of course, only the highest-quality plastic junk. Sold at a very reasonable markup of 6,000%. And still they buy. How I weep for my adopted homeland. The player receives "Four-Day Weekend For Our Sins Pt. 6" which is to "Make Apu Stock the Kwik-E-Mart for Easter". It takes 8 hours

Four-Day Weekend For Our Sins Pt. 7

After tapping on Homer Zappin' rabbits? It's what Easter's all about! Not to niptick, Homer, but Easter is actually about the resurrection of our Lord. Really? How come I'm just hearing about this? You can't be serious. You go to church every Sunday. Has literally none of it sunk in? I like the part when we all shake hands and wish each other well. It's fun because sometimes you shake the hand of a dude you hate, and you can God-bless them in a sort of Clint Eastwood-style voice. Like, you say "Peach be with you," but what you really mean is "I'll see you in hell." And if that's all I take from religion, well, that's enough. It truly is. Homer, I... I have to... go... now. The player receives "Four-Day Weekend For Our Sins Pt. 7" which is to "Make Ned Prepare Easter Dinner". It takes 4 hours

Easter Basket

After the player has placing an Easter Basket Huh? Where did this basket come from? An incredibly stupid question I will be delighted to answer! That is the bleeding edge of modern egg exchange technology. So… a basket that holds eggs? Ooh, what an incredible time we live in! It's for holding, processing, tabulating and more! Just put out a basket and any visitor can input eggs of the matching color. When the basket is full, you can collect its contents. For each donation, your friends get a return of eggs of another color! The trade is not equal, however. As the saying goes, you can't make an egg exchange without getting a little bit ripped off. Or words to that effect. Glayvin.

Sucking Out

After tapping on Lisa What are you even going to do with all these eggs, Dad? Haven't thought about it. I'm simply obeying my brain's deep-seated, irrational impulse to collect things. It's a weakness we all share, and one evil game designers are expert at exploiting. Thanks, game designers! But why are we talking, when we could be collecting? Template:Tapped Out Stranger Icon Pssst... I'll tell you what you can do with them. Template:Tapped Out Stranger Icon Collect enough eggs and I'll trade you a mysterious box from my extensive collection of rare objects from around the world. Ooh! More collecting! Pretty sweet… Dad, is this really the most productive way to spend your time? Lisa, someday you'll understand that collecting things so you can trade them in for collectibles from some dude's collection is the only way to feel good about yourself. But they're random prizes, Dad? What if you just get a bunch of fences? Hey yeah, I hate winning fences! Template:Tapped Out Stranger Icon If you suck out and get a total of 50 Easter fences from boxes, I'll also give you a free 15 donuts. 15 donuts?! Holy crap! I love winning fences!!! The player receives "Sucking Out" which is to "Buy and Easter Box" and "Place Easter Fences (x50)".

Easter Box Prizes

Shary Bobbins

A Spoonful of Bitter Pt. 1

After tapping on Ned Homer, I was thinking my boys might benefit from having a woman in the house. I get it -- you want my advice on how to meet women. Well, "Christian Couples" is a great dating site for people like you. "PlentyofJesusFish" is also good. Or if you're feeling frisky, there's "Chritian Swingers." Though I imagine you'll meet some very conflicted people. No, no, I'm looking for a nanny! Someone like Shary Bobbins, who came into your life so magically, discovered what horrible people you are, then got sucked into a jet engine. Oh yeah -- happy memories. But hey, if Shary Bobbins is who you want, Shary Bobbins is who you'll get! But Homer... she's dead. Stupid Flanders, Shary Bobbins is magic! She WAS dead, but now she's alive... because of magic. You don't mean... BLACK magic? No! Let's call it... "grey" magic... Well, actually really, really dark grey. Like Payne's Grey. So dark it kinda looks black. But of course it's not. Only it is. The player receives "A Spoonful of Bitter Pt. 1" which is to "Make Shary Bobbins Practice "Grey" Magic". It takes 8 hours.

A Spoonful of Bitter Pt. 2

After tapping on Shary Bobbins I've never seen such well-behaved childern! Your rooms are spotless, your homework is done, and you've completed every task set before you. Oh no, we've run out of chores! It's a kid's worst nightmare! Bedtime isn't until 5:30. However shall we ever fill the time? Now, now, children. If you search a little harder, you can always find some meaningless task to fill the time... I feel a song coming on... BUSY WORK! BUSY WORK! POINTLESS TASKS FOR IDLE JERKS! NOTHING THAT NEEDS DOING, NOTHING REALLY WORTH PURSUING! BUSY WORK! BUSY WORK! ANYTHING THAT LEAVES YOU IRKED! SORTING'S ALWAYS BRUTAL, EVEN MORE SO WHEN IT'S FUTILE! The player receives "A Spoonful of Bitter Pt. 2" which is to "Make Shary Bobbins Sing an Educational Song". It takes 4 hours.

A Spoonful of Bitter Pt. 3

After tapping on Shary Bobbins Template:Tapped Out Rod And Todd Icon Wow, Shary Bobbins! We just spent hours accomplishing nothing! You see, children? I knew you could do it! Now, imagine how much more fun it would be if, instead of just wasting time, you actally accomplished something? And what if the thing you accomplished was something very, very naughty? Wouldn't that be even MORE fun? You're scaring me, British lady. NAUGHTY PRANKS! NAUGHTY PRANKS! TRY THEM AND YOU'LL GIVE ME THANKS! KIDS BEHAVING BADLY NEVER PASS THE EVENING SADLY! NAUGHTY PRANKS! NAUGHTY PRANKS! SOON YOU WILL BE ROBBING BANKS! LET'S GET INTO TROUBLE, AND LET'S DO IT ON THE DOUBLE! The player receives "A Spoonful of Bitter Pt. 3" which is to "Make Shary Bobbins Encourage Evil Deeds". It takes 60 minutes.

A Spoonful of Bitter Pt. 4

After tapping on Shary Bobbins Daddy, Shary Bobbins is making us do bad things! Miss Bobbins, far be it from an American to criticize anyone with a British accent... ...but why are you corrupting my little angels? Godness me! Most people who use the Dark Arts to summon their nannies from beyond the grave EXPECT this kind of thing! Yes, well, it didn't say anything about "demonic tendencies" in your references. I've been meaning to update those. The player receives "A Spoonful of Bitter Pt. 4" which is to "Reach Level 7 and Build the Blue House" and "Make Shary Bobbins Update her References". It takes 12 hours.

A Spoonful of Bitter Pt. 5

After tapping on Ned Miss Bobbins, I'm afraid this just isn't working out. Are you firing me? "Firing" is such an ugly word. Let's call it "encouraging your relocation by brining in an exorcist and dousing the entire house in holy water." I suppose it's for the best. I've never met such perfect angels as your boys. It makes me sick. If only Homer Simpson would take me back. That son of his shows real promise, evil-wise. Ah, well. Goodbye, children! The player receives "A Spoonful of Bitter Pt. 5" which is to "Make Shary Bobbins Fly on her Umbrella". It takes 24 hours.

Crazy Cat Lady

Look What the Cat Dragged In Pt. 1

After tapping on Lisa Welcome back to Springfield, Eleanor Abemathy! Aiiririarrr! Sorry, I didn't get that. Could you say it again, and maybe not hurl cats at me while you do? Airhgruuugh! I know that behind that endless barrage of cats and babbie lies the mind of an intelligent woman, I have to find a way to talk to you! Flumliilirajodamogh! Ow! Cats hurt, you know. The player receives "Look What the Cat Dragged In Pt. 1" which is to "Make Crazy Cat Lady Throw Cats". It takes 12 hours.

Look What the Cat Dragged In Pt. 2

After tapping on the Crazy Cat Lady Aisiijelkrrr! Flamphumph! Eleanor Abernathy, graduate of Harvard Medical and Yale Law at age 24... reduced to this. So sad. Perhaps I can be of assistance! I believe I have found a way to communicate with this insane-but-somehow-ravishing-at-least-to-me-but-I'm-so-so-lonely-person. Professor Frink! Do you like the Crazy Cat Lady? Nooooooooo... Or rather, yes, so much! It's comes with being immensely hard up, you see. Very logical! Ew. It is "ew!" No one knows more than I. Anyway, let me explain what my latest invention can do... The player receives "Look What the Cat Dragged In Pt. 2" which is to "Make Crazy Cat Polish her Degrees (With a Cat)". It takes 4 hours.

Look What the Cat Dragged In Pt. 3

After tapping on the Crazy Cat Lady You see, I believe that the Crazy Cat Lady's babblings are actually coherent thoughts, expressed in the language used by cats themselves. Blauidiioeummmmaaah! Good glayvin, you're intoxicating. That's incredible. But why, may I ask, did you invent a machine to speak cat? I was hired by the Defense Department to build an argon laser that could be fired from space. But a few screws in the wrong place, and boom -- cat translator. Now, Ms. Abernathy, if you would be so kind as to speak into the flayvin-moyvin, we'll begin. The player receives "Look What the Cat Dragged In Pt. 3" which is to "Make Crazy Cat Lady Speak Cat". It takes 8 hours.

Look What the Cat Dragged In Pt. 4

After tapping on the Crazy Cat Lady Aiisenbloooossunaaai! Can your machine translate that, Professor? I must know what this brilliant woman is telling us! I believe the translation is coming through now... ...CAT!...CAT GOOD DOG BAD!... Yes, Eleanor, we know you are fond of cats. We can understand you know. What do you want to say to us? ...CAT! ALL CAT NO DOG NEVER DOG! CAT! THROW CAT! CAT CAT! THROW NO DOG BUT CAT THROW YES! Ow! Eleanor, there's no more need to throw cats -- you can express yourself through language! And, again, cats hurt. CAT THROW YOU DO CAT? CAT CAT! CAT CAT CAT! DOG BAD DOG GO NO CAT CAT DOG THROW NO CAT THROW! The player receives "Look What the Cat Dragged In Pt. 4" which is to "Make Crazy Cat Lady Babble Incoherently". It takes 60 minutes.

Look What the Cat Dragged In Pt. 5

After tapping on the Crazy Cat Lady CAT CAT THROW NO DOG DOG! ALWAYS CAT! MOUSE CHASE EAT MOUSE NO DOG BAD DOG! *sigh* Thanks for trying, Professor. I suppose the bright young woman that was Ms. Abernathy is gone for good. Bye. CAT NO NEVER BAD ALWAYS GOOD BUT DOG BAD! ... IS THE LITTLE GIRL GONE? EXCELLENT. NOW GATHER 'ROUND, MY FELINE ARMY. THAT WAS A NARROW ESCAPE, BUT THE HUMANS STILL HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF OUR PLANS. SOON THE HUMANS WILL FALL UNDER OUR CLAWS. THE EARTH -- AND ALL ITS PLUSH TOYS AND SCRATCH POSTS -- WILL BE OURS!!!
