The Simpsons: Tapped Out

To celebrate the premiere of Season 24, on September 28, 2012, players of iOS game The Simpsons: Tapped Out were greeted with a notice that to celebrate the premiere, they have been given a Duff racecar from the Springfield Grand Prix. A quest was then given to place the Duff racer. Several other episode tie-in events were also added to the game for a limited period of time.
