Fresh Off the Donut Truck

Fresh Off the Donut Truck Pt. 1

After the user logs in on February 4th and tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Apu, let me get a dozen donuts... with a dozen more donuts to dunk them into. I'm sorry, but we are FRESH out. The supply has gone CRUMBLY! There's a hole in the chain. Don't GLAZE over these facts! Hmmmm... those jokes killed at the Kwik-E-Open Mic Night. This is no time for humor. It's time for panic! Task: Make Homer Break Down in the Kwik-E-Mart (6s, Kwik-E-Mart) You must have something in the back, Apu. Just roll a hot dog into a donut shape while I'm not looking. That's against the Clerk's Code of Conduct. Plus I'm out of hot dogs. But I have heard rumors of a donut shop opening up in town... It might be a threat to my business. I'll need the support of loyal customers like... And he's gone. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Fresh Off the Donut Truck Pt. 2

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: They just give donuts away from free? Hmm. I don't like it. There's no such thing as a free lunch. One donut isn't a lunch, sweetie! At best it's an amuse bouche. Free donuts? Brandine, no roadkill for dinner tonight. We're having donuts! Plus roadkill! I heard they offer vegan, gluten-free, non-vaccinated donuts... finally! ... Task: Make Homer Start the Hype Train (30s, Kwik-E-Mart) Task: Place Big Box Thanks for spreading the word about these donuts, Homer. Now you'll have plenty of people to share them with. Nuts! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Fresh Off the Donut Truck Pt. 3

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: Welcome to the Grand Opening! Please form a donut shaped line. You mean a circle? That doesn't make sense. I want to talk to the owner! Sorry, but I don't know the owner. Not for suspicious reasons or anything. It's just that he's just always cloaked in shadow. Task: Make Springfielders Form a Donut [x5] (60s, Bix Box) Task: Make Lisa Be Skeptical (60s, Bix Box) Doesn't anyone else think it's shady that we have no idea who opened this shop? Where are the police? Why aren't they investigating? Of course we investigated! We investigated the glazed, the jelly, the bear claw. All top notch! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Fresh Off the Donut Truck Pt. 4

After completing Fresh Off the Donut Truck Pt. 3: Every day is free donut day! All you have to do is seemingly random easy tasks! If you call that free. System Message The rumors were kind of true! Complete challenges to earn 100% legally-obtained free rewards, including donuts. Here's an easy one to get you started! Task: Complete a Daily Challenge Dad, these donuts might be too good to be true. Remember when you sold your soul to the devil for a donut? And then he fed me all the donuts in the world? Great example, Lisa! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Fresh Off the Donut Truck Pt. 5

After completing Fresh Off the Donut Truck Pt. 4: Umm, sir, people are saying the tasks are too hard. These people are animals. First we give them insanely easy tasks with huge rewards and now they're complaining about them! What should we do, boss? Fine. Allow them one job switcheroo. But don't tell anyone I just said the word switcheroo. System Message You can dismiss one Daily Challenge per day to get a different one in its place. Tap on the dismiss button in the corner of a challenge to replace it! Task: Dismiss a Challenge Free donuts for praying?? If I pinch myself to see if I'm dreaming, maybe I'll get another donut! System Message Return every day for new things to do and sweet rewards for doing them! Here's two new challenges to get you started! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Fresh Off the Donut Truck Pt. 6

After completing Fresh Off the Donut Truck Pt. 5: Well that's it folks, much like console gaming, the daily play bonus has become obsolete. I've been told, rather forcefully, that it needs to disappear quietly, or else I'll disappear loudly, hoyvin. Oh my! Did the owners of that new donut shop threaten you? I have no idea! They broke my spectacles. I couldn't see a glaven thing! System Message To commemorate the removal of the Daily Play bonus, here's a free Mystery Box to make you forget it ever existed! Quest reward: 1 Mystery Box

Hand Over the Dough

Hand Over the Dough Pt. 1

After tapping on Louie's exclamation mark: Alright pastry punk, it's time to cough up that protection tax. But, we don't actually make any money here. We just give away donuts. Are you givin' us lip? Did we ask for lip, Louie? I remember specifically that the Boss said to collect premium currency, not lip. Task: Make Louie Collect Donut Holes (1h, Big Box) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Hand Over the Dough Pt. 2

After tapping on Fat Tony's exclamation mark: Whoa, gentleman. You're trying to collect from our own business. Wait, we're the idiots who own the donut shop? But we aren't making any money! Do the words "money laundering" mean anything to you? Individually yes but together no. *Sigh* Task: Make Legs Launder Donuts (8h, Big Box) Task: Make Louie Launder Donuts (8h, Big Box) Task: Make Fat Tony Supervise (8h, Big Box) Fat Tony! You own this Donut Shop? I knew it was too good to be true. Nobody just gives away donuts! What's your angle? I'd like to tell you tell you but as mob tradition dictates, my daughter is not getting married today so I can't. That's a weird tradition. That's nothing. On my birthday, I have to kiss a duck! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Hand Over the Dough Pt. 3

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: Wiggum! The Donut Shop is a front for the mob. You've got to intervene! But Fat Tony assured me that there is no mob here in Springfield. You can't trust him! His title is Kingpin, Lisa. I'm pretty sure that makes him the authority on the subject. Task: Make Wiggum Investigate Big Box (4h, Big Box) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Hand Over the Dough Pt. 4

After tapping on Fat Tony's exclamation mark: Wiggum. What an unpleasant surprise. What brings you here? Well this is a little awkward, but I looked at my contract and apparently it's my job to find out if this shop is a mob front. Turns out it's also my job to execute shoplifting raccoons. Who knew? Would a mob front give a generous donation of donuts to the police? When you're right, you're right, Fat Tony! Sorry, I mean Kingpin. Task: Make Wiggum Finish Investigation (2h, Big Box) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Premium gameplay

Gil Deal

After the user logs in on February 4 and tapping Gil's Tailgate mark: Who ya rooting for in the Big Game? Care to put some skin in the game? Because that's all I've got to bet – my skin. The Big wha? Y'know, the Big Game! The Gridiron Championship! 22 men enter! 22 men leave! But only 11 as winners! Ohh, you mean the Superbo-- Whoa, buddy! Do you want Ol'Gil to get sued? Although if I get sued one more time, I get my next trial free. Instead, keep me out of jail by buying my sweet tailgate party package with beers, burgers, and babes for the Big Day!

Offer declined

No sale!? Not even for the Big Game? Well, fine. I've got my own party to throw. And nooo, it's not with imaginary friends. Because I've saved up enough money to buy the dolls.

Offer accepted

Finally! A win! Much like one of those teams that will be playing on that day we mentioned. I won't have to melt all my participation trophies down for scrap metal. Instead I'll keep sleeping on them in my trunk. So pointy!

Springfield of Dreams

Springfield of Dreams Pt. 1

After buying the Tailgate: There's nothing quite like the Big Game to make you wish we had our own football team. And a blimp with a more positive message. I like the Mediocre Year Blimp – it's honest. But we should get our own team! Football ain't like soccer, or the Olympics, or Quimby's administration. One little bribe can't get you what you want. Yes, but you can make enough noise to get what you want! I learned that from babies! We'll make the party bigger and bigger, until it's so big The League HAS to notice! Gentlemen, it's time to drink like your life depends on it! Mine actually does. My liver is completely pickled! Task: Make Barflies Party at the Tailgate [x3] (12h, Tailgate) Characters: Homer, Barney, Lenny, Carl, Lou, Eddie, Mindy, Luann, Disco Stu, Sanjay, Moe, Sea Captain, Willie Oh great. Drunken sports fans wandering all over town... again! Read the message boards, Homer. No one liked that. They won't be going anywhere. I spread more than enough superglue on the chairs to make sure of that! Why does Springfield even want a football team? Corporate censorship, racist team names, no vegetarian options from the halftime vendors... Don't worry, Sweetie, we'll make sure the team gets named after something innocent. Like the pig that gave its life to make both this under-inflated football and those delicious "vegetarian" halftime snacks. System Message Continue sending Springfielders to party in order to expand the Tailgate! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Springfield of Dreams Pt. 2

After completing Springfield of Dreams Pt. 1: Y'know, Homer, no one from The League has come yet... You think we're just wasting our time? Time is just like us: it's meant to be wasted! This party needs to be bigger! But how? Well, all the best tailgate parties on TV – Tailgate Time Square, Shake your Tailgate, Tailgate at Watergate, have pretty cheerleaders dancing. I can't do much about the pretty part, but I can dance for the cause! Dancing's the one where you sit in a chair, right? Task: Make Homer Dance for the Cause (4h, Tailgate) Homer's not much of a dancer but he's an even worse cheerer... BE AGGRESSIVE! B-E AGGRESSER! B-E A-G-U-R-O-S-S-S-I-N-G! What does that spell? No, really. What does that spell? Quest reward: 100 and 10

Springfield of Dreams Pt. 3

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: See that! Party and *hic* drink hard enough, and they *hic* come crawling! I'm not crawling. I'm just a lawyer checking the floor for cracks or puddles that I can sue over. Speaking of exploitation, I'm looking for the representative of Springfield. If this is about those, er-ah... funds for the Amelia Earhart statue, I can assure you they went missing in her honor. I'm here on behalf of The League. My client is impressed by Springfield's commitment to public drunkenness and is willing to negotiate. And to think all the other mayors laughed at me for putting a vomiting alcoholic on our town crest. Please step into my office. Task: Reach Level 20 and Build Town Hall Task: Make Quimby Negotiate with The League (2h, Town Hall) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Springfield of Dreams Pt. 4

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: The League is prepared to bring a team to Springfield in exchange for a one-time donation to a charity of the League's choice. Which, in this case, is the League itself. We accept cash, check, credit, really anything except valueless mobile game currency. Err, uhh... I can't believe I'm saying this, but can we pay in donuts? Your donuts are equally worthless to my client. I thought Springfield was ready to play in the big leagues, which legally has nothing to do with this League. Fine – we don't want your stinking team anyway! We were just in it for the merch! Look at my novelty offensive foam finger and get out! System Message Check the store for other sporting goods! Task: Make Springfielders Party in Consolation [x3] (12h, Tailgate) On job start: I can't believe I almost traded away our precious donuts for something as insubstantial as a source of pride and revenue for the town. Actually teams rarely make money for towns, so you might have done Springfield a favor. Plus this Tailgate isn't so bad. It's nice having Homer be drunk and crazy somewhere other than the house this year. I still haven't gotten all of the BBQ sauce out of my hair from last year. Thanks to the Tailgaters' drunken stupidity, the possibilities for protest and moral outrage are endless! My lucky day! Quest reward: 100 and 10
