Part 1 Gameplay[edit]
Daily Jobs[edit]
Toy Workshop[edit]
The Toy Workshop is where characters complete quests and Tunnel tasks to earn Presents in Part 1.
These are the characters that can work there:
|
Feds[edit]
The ability to release Feds into other Springfields was unlocked during Pixie Plight. In a friend's town, a button appeared in the top-right corner of the screen, offering a chance to send 3 Feds to their town, using up your daily actions.
After tapping on a Fed, it sprouted Cash, XP, Friend Points and Presents, and also the text "Bye Bye Federal Agent Called by [player name]" appeared. After finding all Feds a system message appears reading: "All Feds have been driven away, your town is safe. For now..." Whenever Feds were sent into your Springfield, a device notification was pushed, reading: "Your friends have sent the Feds to your Springfield. Thwart them to earn some Presents!"
The max number of Feds in a town at the same time is 20.
Santa's Daily Tasks[edit]
Santa's Daily Tasks are a feature in Part 1. They are mini-quests that when completed award you with two prizes and if completed within 24 hours of starting the first task, Presents. There are nineteen tunnels in total.
The tasks later on require the one previous to be completed, and the cash reward for which needs to be fully collected. For example, Task 3 needs Task 2 to be completed and the cash reward collected before it is unlocked in the Tunnel menu. Completing all tasks unlocks an "exclusive character", Zutroy. A new tunnel was unlocked every day at 8am GMT.
If an Elf Tunnel has multiple rewards, only the first one that the player didn't already own was obtained, with the other reward(s) going unobtainable in the event, unless made available for purchase in Part 2. Each Elf Tunnel also rewards the player with one extra Elf. Finishing an Elf Tunnel within 24 hours also rewarded a bonus 100. After completing all nineteen Elf Tunnels, Zutroy was unlocked.
Elf Tunnels[edit]
|
Part 2 Gameplay[edit]
Friend Visits[edit]
Friends visits let you get even more Bells.
- Actions 1-30: 5 Elf Bells each
- Actions 31-60: 3 Elf Bells each
- Actions 61-90: 2 Elf Bells each
- Actions 91-120: 1 Elf Bells each
After 40 friends you won't get any Elf Bells, just Money, XP and FP, or a chance at donuts if you are at max FP level already.
If you tap your friends' Elf Cannon and Elf Tunnels you get DOUBLE Elf Bells! So it becomes:
- Actions 1-30: 10 Elf Bells each
- Actions 31-60: 6 Elf Bells each
- Actions 61-90: 4 Elf Bells each
- Actions 91-120: 2 Elf Bells each
You can only tap friends's cannons and tunnels if they started phase 2. While visiting a Friend's Springfield if one taps the Cannon Control Building they can check their Cannon's Level.
Elf Cannon/Cannon Control Building[edit]
Cogwheels[edit]
Cogwheels are used to upgrade the Elf Cannon, and can be found in various numbers after tapping Elves, or can be bought in the Store:
