Around the World is an event-exclusive questline in The Simpsons: Tapped Out. It was introduced in the Destination Springfield content update.

Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After starting the update The success of Evergreen Terrace's fake Chinese festival has given me a fantastic idea. We make a bunch of little "worlds" - ChinaWorld, FrenchWorld, whatever - and pull in tourists who can't afford to go to the real places. Like "Hepcat Center" in that Florida theme park I keep forgetting the name of. Or like "Westworld" without the killer robots. If it's deathbots you want, I have a self-aware toaster that's in a pretty bad mood. Task: "Make Homer Fear Theme Parks". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 6 seconds. If Professor Frink is owned: Task: "Make Frink Try to Build a Deathbot". The job takes place at Frink's Lab and takes 6 seconds. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 2[edit]

After completing Pt. 1 How are tourists supposed to get to Springfield, anyway? We're surrounded by impassable mountains, empty ocean, and an endless featureless plain. We could build an airport. Perfect! The construction companies that fund my campaigns are ready for a boondoggle. I shouldn't say things like that out loud. Still, is it really news I'm corrupt? Message You got a Free Land Token. Buy land to redeem it. Reward: Free Land Token Task: "Build the Airport". It takes 6 seconds. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 3[edit]

After completing Pt. 2 This is great. The airport just opened, and already the town is full of tourists. I paid an air traffic controller twenty dollars to divert every plane within five hundred miles here. Smart. Now, let's tap these tourists like maple trees for their sweet out-of-town syrup. Task: "Tap Tourists" (x5). Hey, how come everyone here keeps tapping us tourists? Watch out. It's how they distract you while they steal your wallet. Thanks, friend! Tap. Yoink!! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 4[edit]

After completing Pt. 3 Our town is being flooded by American tourists who want to enjoy our cut-rate collection of fake foreign worlds. But the airport security lines are endless, and planes are stuck on the runway because there aren't enough gates... As usual, Springfield's triumph is America's nightmare. Look! My uncle Norbert Van Houten, the international adventurer, just landed in his biplane. When I heard you had a nice big airport, I knew I could finally fly in. But you said you once landed your plane on a Tibetan field the size of a postage stamp. Riiight, that story. Well, if you'd had a postage stamp here, I would've come sooner! Task: "Tap on Norbert". Task: "Send Springfielders on Flights" (x3). I just got offered a job as a flight attendant on Anime Airlines. As long as I wear the right costume. Take the job. Bring me the left-over pretzel snacks. Message Sailor Kumiko gains extra Pins with each flight. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 5[edit]

After completing Pt. 4 Excuse me, sir, can you direct me to some of the famous sights of Springfield? I hear there's a Volcano Lair, a Ghost Pirate Ship, and Giant Mechanical Ants. Could be. Depends if Skyfinger was willing to pony up for premium items. Also, they tend to get moved around a lot. Some say a giant baby in the sky gets hold of our world and randomly slides things around while pooping. Maybe. But maybe we just need a Tourist Information Center. Task: "Build the Tourist Information Center". It takes 6 seconds. Task: "Use the Tourist Information Center". Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 6[edit]

After completing Pt. 5 These tourists aren't spending moolah at my bar. They're just hanging around the airport trying to get flights outta here. Good luck with that. I have flocks of geese flying around the airport to prevent departures. But maybe we should go on a fact-finding mission to other Springfields, to see how they are encouraging tourism. Wives not allowed on mission! Task: "Tap Attractions in Other Springfields" (x3). Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 7[edit]

After completing Pt. 6 Springfield Airport is once again number one... in flight delays and lost luggage. There's a mountain of lost bags behind the airport. Perhaps I shouldn't have given the baggage-handling contract to the company that does city trash compaction. Well, as long as the original owners will never, ever get their stuff back, might as well trade it in for SkyCredits. Task: "Build the SkyCredits Reward Center". It takes 6 seconds. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 8[edit]

After completing Pt. 7 Use your SkyCredits to buy fabulous gifts or airline miles. Although certain travel blackout days apply. Actually, you can only use SkyCredits to fly on February 29 of a "century leap year". So see you in the skies on February 29, 2400! Task: "Purchase an Item at the Reward Center". We are doing a great job collecting tourists' pins and stealing their luggage. But believe it or not, tourists want more than that from a travel experience. It's time to open Springfield's FrenchWorld, a celebration of the glories and beauty of France. Where shall we put it? I think there's space between the tire fire and the garbage dump. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 9[edit]

After completing Pt. 8 To make Springfield's FrenchWorld seem authentic to tourist rubes, we have to try and be as French as possible. Everyone, do what you would do if you were French! Finally, a use for my rudeness and addiction to garlic. Task: "Make Apu Sell Gauloises Cigarettes". The job takes place at a Kwik-E-Mart and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Ned Wax His Mustache". The job takes place at Flanders House and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Lisa Practice Miming". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Homer Drink Wine With Breakfast". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 4 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 10[edit]

After tapping on Ned's exclamation mark Bon diddily jour, touristereeno. Care to take a walk around our "strolly sepulchre"? He's definitely French. Completely incomprehensible. Who would like to sample my genuine, French pâté? Apu, how wonderful you made something so fresh and natural. Actually, I just ran my hot dogs through the Squishee machine. Task: "Make Ned Puzzle Tourists". The job takes place at Flanders House and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Apu Sell Tourists "Pâté"". The job takes place at a Kwik-E-Mart and takes 4 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 11[edit]

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark How much longer is this French thing going on? I'm tired of wearing a striped shirt and playing the accordion. The tourists love it. Keep honking your squeeze box! I do love it, but what I really want is what every man seeks in Paris... love. If I set you up on a date, can I stop playing the accordion? Seems fair. Selma, I got an adventure for you... Task: "Make Homer Try to Persuade Selma to Date a Tourist". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 4 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 12[edit]

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark Sorry, Mr. Tourist, Selma refused to go on a date with you. I'm filled with ineffable sorrow. Crank up the accordion. But I did find you someone else who's willing to offer companionship. Hey there, mon ami. Care to spend an evening in Flanders' fields? Well... that moustache *is* pretty amazing. Task: "Make Ned Cook Dinner for a Tourist". The job takes place at Flanders House and takes 4 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10
