Act 1 Gameplay

Rock and Roll Never Forgets, Unfortunately

Rock and Roll Never Forgets, Unfortunately Pt. 1

After the user logs in on August 1st: What a beautiful summer day. In the park, families are picnicking, old men are feeding birds... You know what would make it perfect? A jazz concert. You're right, honey! You should go play your saxophone for them. Great idea! You must really hate picnickers, Dad. It got her saxophone out of the house didn't it? Task: Make Lisa Play Jazz Music (6s) Wow, I was at the park eating the birdseed the old men throw, when I heard you play, Lisa. You can really honk that horn. How'd you like a job at the bar? Quest reward: 100 and 10

Rock and Roll Never Forgets, Unfortunately Pt. 2

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: A gig at your bar? Really? Did Dad put you up to this? Not at all... I just love diminished fifths and double syncopation. Define "double syncopation". Okay, I admit it. I want to hire you because jazz music drives away the rats. Eh, a gig's a gig. Task: Make Lisa Jam at Moe's Tavern (6s, Moe's Tavern) You know what? That live music was fun. I'm almost sorry I jammed these corkscrews in my ears. We should throw a jazz festival! We could become the next live music mecca. Like New Orleans, Coachella, Austin! Yeah! Why not? Springfield is as hot, gritty, and unpleasant as any of those places. Barely. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Rock and Roll Never Forgets, Unfortunately Pt. 3

After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark: Woah, Lisa, you can't just start a jazz festival. Springfield isn't known for jazz. In fact, it's known for setting Dave Brubeck's bus on fire when they took the wrong exit and ended up here by mistake. Maybe we can work up to it, by putting Springfield on the musical map with a rock festival. Yeah, like that Homerpalooza festival I was the star of. It was "Hullabalooza", and you were a creepy sideshow who shot himself with a cannon. Task: Build the Rock Stage Task: Make Homer Jam on the Rock Stage) On job start: Hello Springfield! Thanks for listening to two hours of me randomly banging a guitar I don't know how to play. Eh, we're rock fans. We can't tell the difference. Quest rewards: 25 Event Currency and 10

Rock and Roll Never Forgets, Unfortunately Pt. 4

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: Wow, Dad, your rock stage is working great. The town is filled with rock festival goers. Stupid festies! Walking around collecting souvenirs and taking selfies for their Facelook pages. I'll mosh 'em to H[i][/i]ell! Stop, you braindead troll. Ticket sales are keeping this town afloat, after the ongoing monorail disaster. So tap on them and collect stubs. And if you also happen to get some cuffs, well, I might have a use for them too. Task: Tap Festival Fans [x5] Quest rewards: 25 Event Currency and 10

Rock and Roll Never Forgets, Unfortunately Pt. 5

After tapping on Copyright Lawyer's exclamation mark: Excuse me, I am a lawyer. I'm looking for Homer Simpson. Are you here because his father died and left him an unexpectedly enormous amount in his will? No, I'm a lawyer. I never bring good news. I am from the record label that owns the rights to the "Sungazer" song you've been playing. We demand you pay us any revenue gained. Uh, Homer Simpson is on tour in the next town over. I hear he's totally baked. Go get legal on him. Task: Drop Lawyers in Other Springfields [x3] Quest rewards: 25 Event Currency and 10

Rock and Roll Never Forgets, Unfortunately Pt. 6

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Our shows are doing OK, but it doesn't feel like we've hit critical mass. You've been critical mass for a long time, tubs. If you play more shows, you'll get better. And if you get better, you'll attract a bigger audience. It sounds like you're saying, "practice makes perfect". Which we know is evil school propaganda. Task: Make Performers Jam [x2] Quest rewards: 25 Event Currency and 10

Rock and Roll Never Forgets, Unfortunately Pt. 7

After tapping on Apu's exclamation mark: Merchandise! Homerpalooza T-shirts, posters, toilet seat covers! Don't take a poop without sitting on Homer's face! Merch, I say! Do a portion of the sales go toward supporting up-and-coming musicians with great potential? Well, it's helping to pay for my kids' violin lessons. So, no. Task: Build Kwik-E-Merch Task: Craft an Item at Kwik-E-Merch Quest rewards: 25 Event Currency and 10

Rock and Roll Never Forgets, Unfortunately Pt. 8

After tapping on Apu's exclamation mark: Amazing news! I just got a text from my old Sungazer bandmate, Nick Delacourt. He needs publicity for his new solo album. Even his ex-wife won't buy it, and she gets half the money. Wow. Delacourt is the 95th best rock drummer of all time, according to a meaningless list by Rolling Stone. That meaningless list is so ridiculous! Nick Delacourt is worse than Bart? I don't think meaninglessly so! Task: Make Homer and Apu Argue About Pointless Rankings (4h, Kwik-E-Mart, Apu) Quest rewards: 25 Event Currency and 10

Rock and Roll Never Forgets, Unfortunately Pt. 9

After tapping on Apu's exclamation mark: Mr. Delacourt, welcome back to Springfield! Your VIP dressing room is ready. This "dressing room" is a Kwik-E-Mart restroom. How is this VIP? You are the first customer who's ever been allowed to use it. Task: Make Nick Delacourt Jam on the Rock Stage System Message You have completed the Act 1 story!

Act 2 Gameplay

Pop and Circumstance

Pop and Circumstance Pt. 1

After the user logs in on August 15th: Wow, our Rock Festival stage has really brought in the fans. Now it's time to hit them with our Jazz Festival, right? Right?! Lisa, Rome wasn't built in a day. Also, the Romans fed jazz musicians to the lions. First, we have to expand our audience beyond stoned elderly hippies, to include ignorant narcissistic teens. You mean... a pop stage! O.M.G. Yeah, I think that's one of the bands. Task: Build the Pop Stage Our ridiculously glitzy Pop Stage is built. Now, we just need some pop stars. If that's what it takes to get my Jazz festival, I do know one ex-pop star: Ralph Wiggum. Although yesterday he was crying because he lost a booger. Quest rewards: 25 Event Currency and 10

Pop and Circumstance Pt. 2

After tapping on Milhouse's exclamation mark: The Party Posse is back! And scary. The beat is droppin'! Our look is heart-stoppin'! And the champagne is... do I really have to do this? Your dad signed you all to a 99-year contract. Fought him down from 100. Task: Take a Performer Jam on the Pop Stage This song's going out to a very special girl: Lisa Simpson! You know, maybe I should switch to playing blues. 'Cause I am really paying my dues here. Quest rewards: 25 Event Currency and 10

Pop and Circumstance Pt. 3

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: You were right, Dad, expanding to pop music is bringing in the kids. Although they're looking kind of tuckered out from all the fun. Some Buzz Cola will be just the thing to over-stimulate them! Plus, it will launch one of our main revenue streams. The sales tax on sodas? The twenty-five cent fee to use the port-a-potties! Task: Craft Buzz Cola Tent We're at a music festival. Why is the Buzz Cola tent blasting out its own, different music? Otherwise you wouldn't know it was cool. Quest rewards: 25 Event Currency and 10

Pop and Circumstance Pt. 4

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: Ugh, this pop festival is nothing but overpaid, undertalented local performers. We need an overpaid, undertalented international star. Then we're going to need a pointlessly glitzy, fundamentally unpleasant place for her to hang out with other celebrities. Task: Place Pop Star Plane Whoever made this plane is definitely guilty of a crime... against good taste. If I catch him, he'll fry. That's legal, right? Quest rewards: 25 Event Currency and 10

Pop and Circumstance Pt. 5

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: Well, the plane is glitzy and pointless all right. But will it really attract celebrities? O.M.G., people! There's a ladies room in the back of this plane with no line! The secret to stardom: knowing where the empty bathrooms are. Task: Make Celebrities Take Selfies in Pop Star Plane [x3] (4h, Pop Star Plane) Pop sensation Alaska Nebraska just told fans online about Springfield! She must be interested! Just don't tell her Moe is running the limo service from the airport. We guarantee to paw through your luggage while you're not looking. System Message You have completed the Act 2 story! Keep expanding your Festival and tapping Fans, Act 3 starts soon! Quest rewards: 50 Event Currency and 20

More Pop

Act 3 Gameplay

Straight Outta Dumbton

Straight Outta Dumbton Pt. 1

After the user logs in on August 29th: Dad, you've made Springfield a music mecca for rock and pop. It's time for the jazz festival to explode into town. Right? Explode? Sorry, Lis. We want to let the beat drop with hip to the hop. The young rapper is right. After all, it is America's only homegrown music. So is jazz! Plus blues, bluegrass, Motown... Fine, we'll do all of them before jazz too. Task: Build the Hip Hop Stage Quest rewards: 25 Event Currency and 10

Straight Outta Dumbton Pt. 2

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Okay, now that we have the Hip Hop Stage let's showcase some of our towns great rappers... Like Alcatraaaz and M.C. Safety and the Caution Crew... They're out of the biz. I heard Alcatraaaz became a certified financial planner. Then it sounds like you need a clown! If that "Nutso Clown Horde" or whatever they're called can rap, so can a Jewish heart-attack survivor! Task: Make Krusty Jam on the Hip Hop Stage Well, I can't exactly rap. But I have been to jail for trying to run someone over with my car. So, ballpark. Quest rewards: 25 Event Currency and 10

Straight Outta Dumbton Pt. 3

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: That was a disaster! And, like any entertainment manager, I sought help at the first sign of trouble. This disaster is an outrage to hip hop. You and your stage are now managed by Golden Goose Records. I better see some serious flow on this stage pronto, or I will release Goosius to incentivize you. Bart, if you don't want to see your father brutally humiliated by a goose, you'll get up there and rap. Any way I can do both? I'm open to a deal. Task: Unlock Rappin' Bart Quest rewards: 25 Event Currency and 10

Straight Outta Dumbton Pt. 4

After tapping on Milhouse's exclamation mark: Can I be part of your crew, Bart? I'm totally committed to the rapper lifestyle. I even had Otto tattoo "Thug Life" on my back. Super painful but worth it. It reads "Huge Lift". Damn it! I should've known Otto was in no shape for careful work. He was just about to drive the school bus. Task: Make Bart Practice a Show (4h, Bart's Tree House) Quest rewards: 25 Event Currency and 10

Straight Outta Dumbton Pt. 5

After tapping on Milhouse's exclamation mark: Alright B-Money, it's time for you to blow the sneakers off Springfield with your dope flow. Only a genius producer would think to invest all his money in a ten-year-old white kid. Oops. Yeah. Good lesson: do not make important financial decisions after trying Otto's special blend. Task: Make Bart Jam on the Hip Hop Stage Bart! Nice job, little hero. You want a golden white tiger for your bedroom? No he does not! Marge, you got swag. I like that. You want to go shopping for four diamond rings that when you put them together read "Bitch"? Well, I've got half an hour until Maggie gets out of preschool. Sure! Quest rewards: 25 Event Currency and 10

Straight Outta Dumbton Pt. 6

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: Dad, we actually pulled it off. We built a music festival to rival Hullabalooza! Fans come here from all over to see great performances. Finally, it's time for Act 4: The Jazz Festival. Sorry, Lis, they cut it down to three Acts to make room for Halloween. Dammit! No kidding. Now we have to figure out what to do with all these stages. Task: Reach Level 20 and Build Town Hall Task: Make Springfielders Propose Festival Ground Ideas [x5] (8h, Town Hall) No one actually proposed anything. Why did you all come here? I just came to get away from the smelly festival-goers. They've been camping out in the park and I don't think they showered the entire time! No, they took baths in Springfield Lake. Which made them smell worse. Well, if no one has any ideas, we'll treat this problem like a workplace harassment suit: ignore it until it goes away. System Message You have completed the event story! Keep tapping Fans and jamming to expand your Festival! Quest rewards: 50 Event Currency and 20

More Hip Hop

After tapping on Weird Al Yankovic's Quest mark: Ah, back in Springfield, the town that holds the record for most illegally downloaded copies of my songs. Weird Al Yankovic! You're my musical hero. I have every one of your albums. I sleep under a Weird Al blanket. You could say I'm obsessed. That's great. Now, can you take me to the Homerpalooza festival? Just follow me. Task: Make Milhouse Imprison Weird Al in His House (4h, Van Houten Home, Weird Al Yankovic) Listen, Milhouse, it's been great meeting all your stuffed animals. Big fan of Puppy Goo-Goo.

Weird Al-truism Pt. 2

After tapping on Milhouse's exclamation mark: Help! I'm supposed to perform at Homerpalooza, but Milhouse has stolen all my concert gear for his "Shrine to Weird Al Yankovic". Can't you just take your stuff back? Lisa, I can't steal from a religious institution! Especially one devoted to me. Then we'll have to buy you all new gear... I know! We'll crowdfund it on "FriendMoocher". And I'll be the first to donate! Task: Make Lisa Create FriendMoocher Campaign (4h, Simpson House) Quest rewards: 25 Event Currency and 10

Weird Al-truism Pt. 3

After completing Weird Al-truism Pt. 2: Okay, Mr. Yankovic, the "FriendMoocher" bucks are pouring in. What's the first thing you need to put on a concert? Well, I write a lot of songs about food. So I need to do a lot of research into eating. I wear Hawaiian shirts to cover the food stains! Seems simple enough. How many shirts could you need? Task: Fund Hawaiian Shirts [x100] Quest rewards: 525 Event Currency and 10

Weird Al-truism Pt. 4

After completing Weird Al-truism Pt. 3: We've purchased a massive supply of Hawaiian shirts, Weird Al. What next? I can't perform without my trademark curly ringlets. You must buy me... hair curlers! Task: Fund Hair Curler Supply [x100] Quest rewards: 200, 25 Event Currency and 10

Weird Al-truism Pt. 5

After completing Weird Al-truism Pt. 4: Perfect, my curly hair is cascading in golden ripples down my huge forehead of genius. Now all I need to appear on your Rock Stage is hilarious parody lyrics. And to write those, I'm going to need a lot of rhyming dictionaries. Task: Fund Rhyming Dictionaries [x100] I'm ready to hit the Rock Stage, Lisa! This is so exciting! We actually have a respectable musician for Homerpalooza. Oh dear. If I look respectable, I'm not doing my job. System Message Weird Al Yankovic can now make you laugh in Rock Jam Sessions! Quest rewards: Weird Al Yankovic, 25 Event Currency and 10

Weird Al-truism Pt. 6

After completing Weird Al-truism Pt. 5 and the user logs in on August 15th: I can't wait to get on the Pop Stage! It's where I can do my best dancing. Until this town gets a Polka Dance Hall. If there's one thing I've observed about pop stars, it's that they like to glitter! So bring me your rhinestones! Task: Fund Costume Bedazzling [x200] Quest rewards: 525 Event Currency and 10

Weird Al-truism Pt. 7

After completing Weird Al-truism Pt. 6: The secret to acting like a pop star is to always be bubbly! I'll need plenty of sugar to keep that up, and I like my sugar in the form of red licorice. But only ones with a clockwise twist. Counter-clockwise is just unnatural! Task: Fund Clockwise Red Licorice Twists [x200] Quest rewards: 200, 25 Event Currency and 10

Weird Al-truism Pt. 8

After completing Weird Al-truism Pt. 7: The secret to writing great pop parodies is knowing what millennials like. They seem to like apps. In that case, I need to buy every app there is and find out what it's doing. Each new generation is so weird! Task: Fund Pop Parody App Purchases [x200] I'm hopped up on red licorice, bedazzled outfits, and strange dating apps. Time to pop! System Message Weird Al Yankovic can now perform in Pop Jam Sessions! Quest rewards: 25 Event Currency and 10

Weird Al-truism Pt. 9

After completing Weird Al-truism Pt. 8 and Straight Outta Dumbton Pt. 1: Time to get ready to drop some parody flow on the Hip Hop Stage. You can go two ways: heavy on the bling, or heavy on the soul. I choose the bling thing! Of course the more expensive one. Task: Fund Bling Things [x200] Quest rewards: 525 Event Currency and 10

Weird Al-truism Pt. 10

After completing Weird Al-truism Pt. 9: To really put on a "baller" hip hop show, I'm going to need a lot of high-top sneakers. It's the only way to get the proper pop, lock, and hip hop bounce. The good news is, we can save on shoelaces. We ain't gonna need 'em! Task: Fund Sneakers [x200] Quest rewards: 200, 25 Event Currency and 10

Weird Al-truism Pt. 11

After completing Weird Al-truism Pt. 10: The final step for doing a Hip Hop show is to get some fresh beats. Oh wait, did I say beats? I meant BEETS! They power the brain! Also, I'm going to need some urban slang. Believe it or not, but a six-foot tall accordion player from Lynwood, California isn't always up on the latest lingo. Task: Fund Hip Hop Slang [x200] Yeah boy! I am in the shiz-ouse! And now you're ready to write some awesome parodies of jazz classics, right? "Food Indigo"? "Cake Five"? "Cake Five"?! Leave it to the professionals, Lisa. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm about to drop my parody of Drake's "Fake Love": "Cake Love". System Message Weird Al Yankovic can now perform in Hip Hop Jam Sessions! Quest rewards: 50 Event Currency and 20
