Act 1 Gameplay

We Stole a Zoo

We Stole a Zoo Pt. 1

After the user logs in on August 1st: It's a beautiful summer day and we have no family outing planned?! You're right. There was nothing in any of our group texts or family calendar. Let’s come up with a plan! Why not do the thing every family does to pretend they still love being together... go to the zoo! Homer’s an ape but we don't have a zoo. Then there’s only one thing to do -- we must demand a zoo! Task: Make Simpsons Family Demand a Zoo [x3] (6s, Town Hall or Brown House) Joe, the rabble are rousing again. They're chanting "We want a zoo!" over and over. Any funds for a zoo went to the apology furs I bought you. I suppose families could tour your closet to see minks, foxes, and cheetahs. Sweetie, I'm afraid you're going to have to act more responsibly than that. I've got it, we're nuking... the education department's budget! Quest reward: 100 and 10

We Stole a Zoo Pt. 2

After completing We Stole a Zoo Pt. 1: Alright, who ordered a drunk Emu? This ain't a drink! I got a real drunk Emu here. I might be responsible for the “drunk” part. We gotta get it in a pen before it sobers up. The animals are already arriving?! We haven't even built the first enclosure yet. Or found the tools to build it. Task: Place Springfield Zoo Entrance Task: Place The Emu Experience Ostentatious entrance, check. Emus, check. Great start, Springfielders! What else does a zoo need? How ‘bout filing for bankruptcy? We've run out of funding. Time to do what we always do in times of crisis -- nuke another city program. Health care? Homeless housing? So many wonderful choices. Hold the cuts, Quimby. We still have some creative options to explore for acquiring those funds. Quest reward: 100 Event Currency and 10

We Stole a Zoo Pt. 3

After completing We Stole a Zoo Pt. 2: So, what did you have in mind, Larry? Laundering? Gambling? Laundering AND Gambling?! Nope, we're doing this legit. Bureaucracy will be our ally this day. *shiver* Did anyone else feel a cold draft? No? Just me? Sorry, legally compliant paperwork terrifies me. Relax, Joe, I'll handle the paperwork. All we need are a couple of kind-hearted volunteers and then we can go full non-profit. We’ll collect tax-free grants from Federal environmental programs. And voila! Instant zoo! Task: Make Larry Kidkill Wisely Navigate Bureaucracy (6s) Task: Make Springfielders Volunteer at The Emu Experience [x3] (6s, The Emu Experience) Task: Place Zoo Wall What's worse: the TV execs running our theme parks, or the corporate shills exploiting an easy loophole in our tax codes? I'm gonna go with TV execs. At least this time we're treating the animals humanely. Quest reward: 100 Event Currency and 10

We Stole a Zoo Pt. 4

After completing We Stole a Zoo Pt. 3: Where are the bathrooms in this zoo? And the food kiosks! Or the gates on the animal enclosures?! Er, um, uh-oh. Won't the animals escape?! Escape to where? Springfield? That’s a horrible place to live. Task: Tap Zoo Visitors Task: Tap Zoo Visitors in Other Springfield Quest reward: 100 Event Currency and 10

We Stole a Zoo Pt. 5

After completing We Stole a Zoo Pt. 4: Good news! If we relocate any invasive species we find the State will give us additional funding! Woo hoo! I say the first invasive species we get rid of are zoo guests! Ya, they're super annoying. Especially when they're blocking my view of the invasive animals. Don't worry, I got a plan for that too. Man, I'm full of solutions today. Task: Place Animal Feeding Area Task: Use Animal Feeding Area Task: Send Invasive Tadpoles to Other Springfield On 2nd task end: They could have just installed a PA system to announce when the zoo is closing. Why let a tiger loose? On jobs end: Because it's more fun to see people run for the exits from a tiger! And you're okay with this? As long as the animals' quality of life is better here than out in the wild, I'm happy. Quest reward: 100 Event Currency and 10

We Stole a Zoo Pt. 6

After completing We Stole a Zoo Pt. 5: *yawn* This zoo is lame. It's no better than Moe's exotic petting zoo shenanigans from Christmas. Since when is smuggling illegal exotic animals shenanigans? “Shenanigans” covers a lot of crimes -- jaywalking, murder… It’s a lot less paperwork if everything’s lumped under that. Well, my smuggling days are over. I could look the other way on this one. Ralphie loves the big cats. The kid really likes his head licked. Task: Unlock and Place Big Cat Country Quest reward: 100 Event Currency and 10

We Stole a Zoo Pt. 7

After completing We Stole a Zoo Pt. 6: This zoo is missing something. More animals? Space ice cream?! No, more children. We need children in the park to draw the adults into the gift shop. Wait, that’s gonna cut into my bar business. If a kid comes into my joint and makes it to the bar, they're getting a beer. Them's the rules. Task: Unlock Brittany Brockman Quest reward: 100 Event Currency and 10

We Stole a Zoo Pt. 8

After completing We Stole a Zoo Pt. 7: What do you rate my zoo, on a scale of one to ten? Ten being the only number I want to hear. You call this a zoo? Where's the face painters, the smell of burnt kettle corn, the penny flattener thingie?! Oof, with all the focus on getting animals we forgot about the side attractions! What else do demanding kids demand in their zoo? Task: Make Youngsters Demand More Things [x3] (4h, Springfield Zoo Entrance) That was an eye-opener. We need to up our stock on fidget spinners and USB charging stations. But what about animals? We don't even have a hilarious camel that spits at people. Animals are on the backburner until I find out what "lit" means and how to get it. System Message You have completed the Act 1 story!

Weapons of Mass Attraction

Weapons of Mass Attraction Pt. 1

After completing Weapons of Mass Attraction Pt. 1: You think creating new monsters… I mean animals will bring in more guests? I believe making new species would be fun to do.

My mind is still growing in a petri dish. Quest reward: 100 Event Currency and 10

Weapons of Mass Attraction Pt. 5

After completing Weapons of Mass Attraction Pt. 4: It's no use. We just can't draw the crowds like zoos used to. Mr. Kidkill, you don't need new animals to win the crowds.
