Gameplay

Main Thanksgiving questline

Thanksgiving Season 2014

After logging in: Thanksgiving! The high holiday of gorging! Uncluttered with Yule logs, Easter egg hunts, flag saluting or the yoinking out of groundhogs. It's also a time for solemn prayer and giving thanks to Our-- Stuff it, Flanders! Like every holiday, the turkey season combines my three favorite things -- Eating, quests and prizes. But do you have any idea what day comes AFTER Thanksgiving? LEFTOVERS DAY! I was talking about Black Friday. Martin Luther King Day? You really are clueless. Looks like I'm going to have to educate you in the manner of Miles Flandish. One-two, buckle my shoes! Three four Pilgrim-ize some more! This appears: 250px and then if the player does not have Sacagawea Lisa and taps "OK": 250px after tapping "OK", the player is taken to the Characters menu of the inventory. Sacagawea Lisa, for players who have not yet unlocked her's name is yellow. After returning to normal game screen: Task: Make Puritan Flanders Educate Homer (6h, with Homer, Simpson House) Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Battle of Thanksgiving Pt. 1

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: Dad, you need to learn the real history of Thanksgiving. Sorry but the Puritan has spoken. Unless you've got an equal or better costume, this conversation is over. Allow me to introduce... Sacagawea! Saca-ga-what-huh? Don't listen to her, Homer! She's covered in the devil's totems and pagan squiggles on buckskin! I realize Sacagawea wasn't part of Thanksgiving, but I had this costume leftover from Halloween. I was going to wear it then... But I switched to Elsa from “Frozen” instead, along with every other 8 year-old in the world. All I see is a little girl possessed by a Sacagawean demon! Task: Make Puritan Flanders Perform an Exorcism (12 hours, Brown House) and Make Sacagawea Lisa Get Exorcised (12 hours, Brown House) Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Battle of Thanksgiving Pt. 2

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: Lisa was just playing dress-up, Ned. Creativity should be exercised, not exorcized. Reverend, child's play and devil's play travel the same trails. What trail are you on with those Pilgrim togs and half-cocked blunderbuss? Hahahaha, half-cocked blunderbuss! Tee-hee. Oh, no! Those words are just north of being blasphemous! And I lightly chuckled at them! Task: Make Puritan Flanders Self-Punish (4 hours) After task completion: Homer, I want to apologize for how I judged your daughter, Sacaga-Lisa. I've taken the liberty of giving myself a double dose of self-weltin' flagellation. It whipped my warped noodle straight. Mmmm… warped noodles. Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Battle of Thanksgiving Pt. 3

After tapping on Ned's exclamation mark: Lisa, I want to apologize for pushing my views onto you. I hope there's hard feelings, because I know I deserve them. Deserve them badly... No-no-no, put the whip down! We're OK, you and I! Let's put everything behind us by going out and buying a feast-full of Thanksgiving food. But Daddy, what about our bedtime story? Is it 4PM already? No worries. Lisa, here's my credit card. Go Catholic crazy! Better make that Baptist crazy -- I'm close to my limit on that card. Task: Make Puritan Flanders Read Revelation Passages (60 minutes, Flanders Home), Make Rod & Todd Listen to Stories (60 minutes, Flanders Home) and Make Sacagawea Lisa Shop for Thanksgiving Food (4 hours, Kwik-E-Mart) After task completion: Blazin' butterballs! This credit card bill pops my turkey timer! What is all this?! It's an all-vegetarian meal! A Thanksgiving dinner where nothing has to feel pain in order for us to feel full. Actually, fruits and vegetables feel tremendous pain. The human ear just can't hear their horrific screams. I never knew... I guess I could switch from vegetables to just eating dirt. Nghhey-hey! It's a Frink fib! Crunch carrots and munch mangos all you want! They don't feel a thing. Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Battle of Thanksgiving Pt. 4

After tapping on Ned's exclamation mark: That faux fowl stuffing smells good enough to make a Puritan's head bow! And the pièce de résistance – a centerpiece that the whole town can enjoy! That's a premium decoration! You spent my donuts without asking? Are you angry? Well, it did make my turkey skin a little crispy. *Sigh* Anger's a sin, ain't it? This appears: 250px the player taps "OK" and is taken to the "Decorations" menu of the inventory, where "Cornucopia" is in yellow text. Task: Place the Cornucopia and Make Puritan Flanders Self-Punish (4 hours) Quest reward: 100 and 10 then: System Message Come back the Monday before Thanksgiving to see how the turkey tale continues. System Message Check in every day between Monday Nov. 24th and Sunday December 1st for limited time quests and special reward-a-roonies!

Thanksgiving Dinner Preparations!

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark on November 25: Can someone help me with side dishes while I start preparing the veggie-turkey? Veggie-turkey?! It can't be! Someone poke me with a fork and wake me from my meatless nightmare! But you said you loved the one I made last year. I did, sweetie. But if you recall, I accidentally dropped my pieces in that disgusting butter bacon gravy... ...before it fell into that awful pot of bubbling beef lard. Mmmmghghg... Task: Make Sacagawea Start Preparing Thanksgiving Dinner (8 hours, Simpson Home) 'Task: Make Homer Cry (10 minutes, Simpson Home)

The Thanksgiving Meal Pt. 1

After tapping on Ned's exclamation mark on November 26: There's nothing quite like authentic Puritan Thanksgiving cooking! Unfortunately that's not what we're getting this year. The authentic ship sailed a while ago when I became Sacagawea in Squanto times. I suppose we'll get through this like Lewis and Clark got through their first winter in Plymouth. Native American Spirit As the ghost of Squanto, I want to say I'm very confused. Sorry. The holidays can be hectic. Take some veggie-turkey back to the spirit world with you? Native American Spirit Pass. Task: Make Sacagawea Lisa Host a Peace Feast for Puritan Flanders (10 hours, Outdoor Feast Table, Ned) You know what Lisa! That healthy fake food isn't half bad! Rod and Todd could use a heapin' helpin' themselves. Care to break vegan bread over at the Flanders' spread? I'd love to!

The Thanksgiving Meal Pt. 2

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark on November 27: I'm looking forward to eating a real Thanksgiving meal at your place this year, Stupid Flanders. And not scraping another one of Lisa's vegetarian feasts into Snowball II's litter box. You must have missed the last bit of chit-chat I had with Lisa. Your daughter did all my Thanksgiving food shopping this year. It's gonna be lean and green. D'oh! I'm eating a healthy Thanksgiving again?! And the only real turkey there will be Flanders! Task: Make Make Simpsons and Flanders Family Eat Thanksgiving Dinner (x10) (30 minutes, Flanders Home) Message Don't forget to come back tomorrow for some leftovers!

Leftovers

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark on November 28: Looks like we have a lot of Thanksgiving leftovers. Maybe we could roll the table outside and let the wild critters have at it. I find it hard to believe an animal would eat anything my father passed on. But let's give it a try. Task: Make Sacagawea Host a Peace Feast for Puritan Flanders (10 hours, Outdoor Feast Table, Ned)

More Leftovers Pt. 1

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark on November 29: I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but I ate TOO much. Where can a guy buy a backup stomach? Worst belly-ballooning ever! Hello, my chubby buddies! I have just the thing to help you out! Is it a cure? Is it a crane? It's a clue! It's something you can build! Task: Build Stomach Staples Center

More Leftovers Pt. 2

After tapping on Krusty's exclamation mark: Finally a Stomach Staples in Springfield! No more back alley rhinoplasty for me! Task: Make Krusty Go to the Stomach Staple Center (16 hours, Stomach Staples Center) Template:Tapped Out Squeaky Voiced Teen Icon May I take your order? Let's see... I'll have the tummy-tuck combo, with a medium lypo and calf implants on the side. Template:Tapped Out Squeaky Voiced Teen Icon Would you like french thighs with that? Since I'm trying to watch my figure, why not!

Gear Up For Savings! Pt. 1

When the player logs in on November 24: Homer, why do you look so worried? It's coming, Marge! It's been on the radio, on TV and I've read it in the Springfield Shopper! Black Friday is almost here! We go through this every year. Black Friday is nothing to be afraid of. Yes it is! Why else would people call it Black Friday?! If it was a good thing, they'd call it Happy Friday. I'd even accept Not-So-Good Friday. Task: Make Homer Hide in the Basement (2 hours, Simpson Home)

Gear Up For Savings! Pt. 2

When the player logs in on November 26: Lisa, take these emergency supplies into the emergency basement and put them next to the emergency generator. What's the emergency? The evil of Black Friday has returned and this one is being advertised as a “the biggest blow out of the year!” The TV said, "Everything must go!" We're "everything!!" Dad, Black Friday isn't evil... well it is in the sense that it drives rampant consumerism, but not evil in the way you're thinking. Mm-hmm. Spoken like a true Black Friday zombie. Now prove to me the zombies haven't laid eggs in your brain by getting those supplies into the basement now! Task: Make Homer Fortify the Basement (4 hours, Simpson Home)

Gear Up For Savings! Pt. 3

When the player logs in on November 27: Hey, Homer. Lisa says you're getting freaky about Friday again. Everyone in this house needs to be freaky about it. In that case, can I have a gun? Guns will have no effect on these Black Friday fiends. Instead, we'll use safe and sane road flares that burn at 1400 degrees Fahrenheit. When all else fails, boy, flame ‘em with flares! Task: Make Homer Prepare for Black Friday (6 hours, Simpson Home)

Heimlich Machine

Heimlich Machine Teaser

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: Is something the matter, Mr. Flanders? Your face is red, and you're sweating profusely. Lisa, I ate some of those delicious-looking cherry tomatoes but it feels like they jumped my GI tract. Oh, no! Those were habanero peppers! They're 120 times hotter than jalapeños. UGGHH! Gotta get ‘em out! Gotta get ‘em out! There's only two ways to get them out: pump or dump. I'd prefer “pump.” And luckily there's a Heimlich Machine to do just that.
