The third content update (version 3.0.0.) was available to download on October 3, 2012. This was a huge update, introducing new Halloween characters and buildings. Players are now able to squish zombies after building the Springfield Cemetery, TP and egg friends' houses, and unlock new Halloween quests. Also, new objects have been released: a Pylon, a Gas Pump, a Patio Table, a See-Saw and a Stop Sign - all of which are unlocked on the new level introduced in the update - Level 22. Edna Krabappel's apartment block and Edna are available to unlock in the new level 22, after completing the quest "Staff Needs".

The player needs to be on Level 5 to unlock the Halloween features. Once the Mayan calendar has been completed, the Mayan God asks the player a question - if the player answers correctly they get Mayan Homer and 10 donuts, but if they answer incorrectly they don't get 10 donuts. A clue to the answer is in the season 24 episode "Treehouse of Horror XXIII".

If you complete the Treehouse of Horror XXIII character collection, which consists of the Mayan God, the Talking Krusty Doll, Kang, Burns Monster and the Raven, you get Cash.png1,000 and XP.png20.

The Halloween features were available until early November, between November 5, 2012 and November 8, 2012 - and until that date, Mystery Boxes were Wicked Treat Boxes.

Despite the Treehouse of Horror Update Guide in the game listing the date of October 31, 2012 for when the Treehouse of Horror event will last until, the update's content was still in the game between November 5, 2012 and November 8, 2012.

As of the fifth content update, characters are no longer able to go on Halloween quests with the exception of Halloween characters, such as Kang, and costumes, such as Witch Marge, though they now earn cash instead of treats.

On February 26/27, 2013, a user on the TSTO Players forum posted a list (with links to images) of characters and buildings sent to appear in then-future content updates. The user also found a black-and-white 'unlock' image of Mayan Marge, a character that possibly would have introduced with this content update.

Gameplay

Once the player has got the Halloween update:

Homer: Halloween is coming! Let's crank up the "spooky" factor around here by building the Springfield Cemetery!
Lisa: There's a lot more important things to build first.
Homer: I'll be frank. We're all living inside buildings I, Homer Simpson, built in less than a day. Pretty soon we're gonna need somewhere to put dead bodies.
Lisa: Excellent point.

The player then receives the quest "Dial 'Z' for Zombies Pt. 1", which is to "Build Springfield Cemetery". The Springfield Cemetery is free, and takes only six seconds to build. The reward for the quest is Tapped Out Treat.png1, XP.png5. After this:

Lisa: Zombies are pouring out of the cemetery!
Homer: Think! What kills zombies -- silver bullets? Garlic? Me relaxing in my hammock?
Lisa: The best method is squishing them with an enormous sky-finger.
Homer: Where, oh where, will we ever find one of those????

The player then receives the quest "'Dial 'Z' for Zombies Pt. 2", which is to "Squish Zombies" - ten. During zombie squishing, a Mysterious Artifact is found. Once the player presses "Place":

Lisa: That's weird. That zombie was holding some sort of ancient STONE ARTIFACT. I wonder why?
Homer: Why do zombies do anything? For money, that's why.
Lisa: Uh, I'm pretty sure all zombies care about is eating brains.
Homer: You need to hang out with a higher class of zombie.
Zombie: Watch October 7 Treehouse of Horror episode --

The player then places the artifact. After doing so, a quest pops up, "The Secret of the Mayans", which is to "Find and Place Mysterious Artifacts" - because the player has already placed one, it is listed as "1/2". Continuing to squish zombies, the player finds another Mysterious Artifact. Placing it, the player has completed the quest given, and receives Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5.

Homer: Another ARTIFACT! And look -- it fits together with the first one!
Lisa: Dad, I think these are pieces of the Mayan Long Count Calendar! But why?
Homer: Stay tuned for the answers, everybody!
Zombie: Complete calendar. Watch October 7 Treehouse of Horror episode.

The player then receives the second part of the quest, "The Secret of the Mayans Pt. 2", which is to "Find and Place Mysterious Artifacts". The quest requires the player to find and place 3 artifacts, and the player has already found and placed 2 of them at this point. The player squishes the rest of the zombies and gets the reward for "'Dial 'Z' for Zombies Pt. 2", Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5.

Cletus: Oh, sad day. Cletus Junior, my favorite huntin' dog, has passed.
Lisa: That's terrible! How did he die!
Cletus: We was deer huntin'. Poor dog had one too many beers, tripped over his own paw, and his gun went off.

Then, the player receives the quest "'Dial 'Z' for Zombies Pt. 3", which is to "Have Treats" (10) and to "Build Pet Cemetery". The pet cemetery costs Tapped Out Treat.png10 and takes 4 hours to build. Another horde of zombies comes out of the cemetery, and squishing them, the player gets at least one more artifact - completing "The Secret of the Mayans Pt. 2" which gives the reward of Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5.

Lisa: The Mayan calendar is almost complete! Dad, I think the zombies are trying to tell us something...
Zombie: Complete calendar. Watch October 7 Treehouse of Horror episode. Answer trivia question about it. Answer correctly and receive a--
Homer: Take that, zombie! (BLOWS ZOMBIE AWAY WITH SHOTGUN)
Lisa: Dad! That zombie had something to say!
Homer: And I had a shotgun. Which means I win.

The player receives "The Secret of the Mayans Pt. 3", which is to "Find and Place Mysterious Artifacts" - five, even though that the player has already found 3 of the artifacts at this point. The reward for this quest is Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5.

Once building the Springfield Cemetery:

Homer: I found a stray dog! Can we keep him?
Lisa: I don't know, Dad. He's kinda... decomposing.
Homer: Yeah, but he's smart. If you listen, you can hear him saying "brains.. want brains..."
Lisa: Terrific. Now the pet cemetery is churning out zombie pets.

The player receives "'Dial 'Z' for Zombies Pt. 4", which is to "Squish Zombie Pets" - ten of them. Once squashing the ten zombie pets, the player receives Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5 as a reward.

After completing "The Secret of the Mayans Pt. 3", the player receives "The Secret of the Mayans Pt. 4", in which the player must "Find and place the last Artifacts to complete the Mayan Calendar". Once the calendar is complete and the final piece of the calendar has been found and placed:

Lisa: Okay, that's the last piece of the calendar!

The Mayan God then fades into existence on the Mayan Calendar. The player receives XP.png25 for unlocking Mayan God, which completes "The Secret of the Mayans Pt. 4", for which the player receives Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5 as a reward.

Mayan God: Hear my SACRED TRIVIA QUESTION!!!!

A notice pops up saying "Get it right and win a Mayan Homer outfit... complete with all new quests!"

Mayan God: Only those who have seen this year's Treehouse of Horror episode, 75 days before our highly scientific calendar prophecies the END OF THE WORLD, will answer correctly!

Another notice appears: "For those of you using the normal calendar, that's October 7th".

The Mayan God will walk around your town with not an exclamation mark above his head, but a question mark. Once the player taps on the question mark, a square appears, which has the Mayan God's illustration on it - and the trivia question: "In this years Treehouse of Horror episode, what do the aliens consider to be mankind's highest achievement?". The answer is one of these three:

  • John Carter on Blu-ray
  • The Zune
  • DVRs That Let You Skip Commercials

Below, there is a notice: "Answer to unlock an exclusive Mayan Homer outfit. Get it on the first try and win 10 donuts as well!" If the player gets the correct answer, "The Zune", they will receive ten donuts (if they got the answer on the first try) and they will unlock a Mayan Homer outfit. A "Outfits" notice appears: "Congratulations! You have your first Outfit! Tap on the Character to change their Outfit. Each Outfit has its own set of jobs." Once tapping on Homer's exclamation mark:

Mayan Homer: Where am I? And WHEN am I? Anyone know what baktun it is?
Apu: Thirteenth.
Mayan Homer: Wow. Traveling through time really builds up an appetite.

The player receives the quest "Blast from the Past Pt. 1", which is to "Make Mayan Homer Go on a Maize Binge". The task lasts 60 minutes and on its own the player would receive Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png17. The player receives Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5 as the reward for the quest.

Mayan God: Grrr... gggrrrr!!!
Mayan Homer: Hiya, mighty Gukumatz!
Mayan God: GRRRR GRGR!
Mayan Homer: Hey, if you want a human sacrifice, you got one. No problem!

The player then receives "Blast from the Past Pt. 2", which is to "Make Mayan Homer Perform Human Sacrifice in the Brown House". The task takes 12 hours and on its own would give the player the reward of Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png100. The reward for the quest is Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5.

Mayan God: Grrgr Grr!
Mayan Homer: I'm sorry! Disco Stu was the best sacrifice I could get on short notice.
Mayan God: GGGGRRRRR! RRR!
Mayan Homer: There's just no making you gods happy.

The player then receives the final part of the "Blast from the Past" trilogy, "Blast from the Past Pt. 3", which is to "Make Mayan Homer Reenact the Mayan Collapse". The task takes 4 hours and on its own the reward would be Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png45. Once Mayan Homer's task is completed:

Lisa: Are you done now? Can we get on with it?
Mayan Homer: Sure, what's next?

The reward for the quest is Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png45.

After "'Dial 'Z' for Zombies Pt. 4", Professor Frink then appears in your town:

Frink: Good glavin! I have developed a theory to explain the existence of multiple Springfields!
Homer: I too have developed a theory: you yell boring things as if they're exciting.
Frink: Quickly! I need access to a high-energy super collider.
Lisa: What about the LHC at CERN? It just found the Higgs Boson.
Frink: Not powerful enough. The boson I'm looking for is much harder to find. You see, due to a printing error, the word "boson" appears upside down on its shell. Very rare. Highly collectible.

Professor Frink disappears and the player is given the quest "The Black Hole Pt. 1", which is to "Build Super Collider". It costs Tapped Out Treat.png100 and takes 8 hours to build. The player receives XP.png50 once building the Super Collider, fully named the Springfield Subatomic Supercollider, and then receives Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5 for completing "The Black Hole Pt. 1". Once the player has tapped on Lisa's exclamation bubble after building the Supercollider, Professor Frink appears again:

Frink: The collider is ready! With the plasmas, and the crisp new lab coats, and the slamming things together for learning...
Lisa: I read somewhere that supercolliders can spawn miniature black holes.
Frink: Later, Lisa! It's time to sciencify!

Frink disappears, and the player receives "The Black Hole Pt. 2" quest, which is to "Make Lisa Turn on the Super Collider" - a 45 second task, which in reward, the player is given Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png1. This task can only be done once in the game. The reward for the quest is Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5. Professor Frink appears again.

Lisa: A black hole! A tear in the very fabric of space-time that could swallow the earth!
Frink: Get that thing out of here before it gobbles the building!
Lisa: Will do! Wait a second, where are you going?
Frink: Any Springfield but this one! With the naked singularities, and the oh-so-short life expectancy...

Frink disappears, and the player receives "The Black Hole Pt. 3" quest, which is to "Place Black Hole". The black hole is in the player's inventory, and once the player places it in their Springfield, the player receives the reward of Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5. An exclamation mark pops above Homer's head.

Homer: What about the candy? Surely the candy will survive the black hole?
Lisa: I... I'm afraid not.
Homer: Then we don't have much time.
Milhouse: KID POWER!
Lisa: I know there's zombies out there but how often do kids get the opportunity to amass a horde of candy?

The player receives the quest "The Black Hole Pt. 4", which is to "Send any Kids Trick-or-Treating". The reward for a character going trick-or-treating is Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png125, and the only characters available to go trick-or-treating are Bart, Lisa, Milhouse, Martin and Nelson. Once the player has tapped the "thumb logo" above one of the characters that the player had sent trick-or-treating's heads:

Kang: Foolish Earthlings! They do not grasp the TRUE danger of the black hole! Science teaches us that black holes are a gateway, connecting this world to the Christian hell! Just as their Albert Einstein predicted, if you read him correctly. Behold! The legions of hell pour forth.

The player then completes "The Black Hole Pt. 4", the reward for which is Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5. Completing the quest unlocks Devil Flanders, for which the player is given XP.png25.

Cletus: I reckon it's the hillbilly's job to point out the alien craft menacing our skies?
Frink: I have positively identified this flying object as a UFO. We must construct the Frink Ray Gun immediately!
Kang: I KNEW we should have paid for the ray-gun-proof undercoating. Our only hope is that the humans will not have enough donuts to build this ultimate weapon.

(Please go to the Ray Gun section for the rest of the gameplay involving Kang.)

Once tapping on Ned's exclamation mark:

Devil Flanders: Hey-diddly-ho there, Springfield!
Homer: Stupid Devil Flanders! What do you want?
Devil Flanders: You might say I'm on Soul Patrol! Wheelin' and Dealin'! Doin' the Hell Sell!
Homer: Does EVERY version of you have to rhyme?

The player then receives the "Flanders the Devil Pt. 1" quest, which is to "Make Devil Flanders Sign up New "Clients"". The task is 12 hours long and on its own, the reward would be Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png100. The reward for the quest is Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5.

Lisa: What are we gonna do with all these eggs and toilet paper?
Devil Flanders: You haven't been using 'em to mess up other Springfields?

Then, the player receives "Flanders the Devil Pt. 2", which is to "Throw Eggs at houses in other Springfields" and "Throw Toilet Paper at trees in other Springfields" - ten times each. The reward for the quest is Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5.

Homer: Did you see the look on that other me's stupid face when I saw me hucking eggs at me? Priceless!
Devil Flanders: What truly awful people you are. And what a delightfully wretched town. [SNIFF!]
Homer: Are you crying, Stupid Flanders, Prince of Darkness?
Devil Flanders: I think I'm gonna like it here. Time to set up shop!

The player receives "Flanders the Devil Pt. 3", which is to "Have Treats" (100) and to "Build House of Evil". The House of Evil costs Tapped Out Treat.png100 and takes 12 hours to build. Once built, the player receives the reward for the quest, Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5, and then:

Homer: Hmm, "House of Evil". Nice to see there's still a place for brick-and-mortar evil shops in the Internet Age.

The player receives "Flanders the Devil Pt. 4", which is to "Make Homer Shop at House of Evil". Homer is the only character who can shop there. The task takes 60 minutes and on its own would give the reward of Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png17. The reward for the quest is Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5. Completing the quest has unlocked the Talking Krusty Doll, which rewards the player with XP.png25.

Homer: Why's a Talking Krusty Doll for sale at an emporium of evil?
Talking Krusty Doll: Kill Homer! Kill Homer Simpson!
Homer: And there's your answer.

"Flanders the Devil Pt. 5", the final quest in the "Flanders the Devil" pentalogy, requires the player to "Make Homer Run from Talking Krusty Doll". The task takes 24 hours to complete, and on its own the player would receive Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png150 as a reward. The task is just Homer running around your town with his hands in the air while the Talking Krusty Doll wanders around town, not chasing him at all. Once Homer is done (and out of breath) you receive Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5.

Devil Flanders: I've got it! I know just the thing to make this town a real Hell-on-Earth!
Homer: An NFL stadium funded by taxpayer money, while the public school system crumbles?
Devil Flanders: No! And stop eavesdropping!
Homer: But eavesdropping is evil! I thought you'd approve.
Devil Flanders: It's not evil! It's just rude!

The player then receives "Bad Dream House Pt. 1", which is to "Have Treats" (150) and to "Build Bad Dream House". The Bad Dream House costs Tapped Out Treat.png150 and takes 24 hours to build. The reward for the quest is Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5. After this quest, two "Treat" icons appear in the taskbook sidebar; they are two quests: "Heck House" - "Buy Heck House" and "Burns Monster" - "Buy Burns Monster". The Heck House and the Burns Monster both cost Tapped Out Treat.png300. After completing "Heck House" a "Façades" notice appears: "Congratulations! You have your first building façade. Tap on the building to change its façade." For unlocking the Burns Monster after completing "Burns Monster", the player gets XP.png25. The rewards for these quests are both Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5. After completing "Bad Dream House Pt. 1":

Devil Flanders: Spend a night in this house and it's yours! Test your courage! Maybe that angry Scotsman is up to the challenge!

The player then receives "Bad Dream House Pt. 2", which requires the player to "Reach Level 10" and "Build Willie's Shack". If these have been done, the quest is to "Make Willie Sleep in the Bad Dream House". All of the "Sleep in the Bad Dream House" task take 12 hours and if on their own, the player is rewarded with Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png100 for each "Sleep in the Bad Dream House" task set. After sending Willie to Sleep in the Bad Dream House:

Willie: A Scotsman always takes the bait! Historically, it's been a real problem for us.
Devil Flanders: Your first victim approaches, House-y. You know what to do.
Bad Dream House: Next time, can you find someone who doesn't reek of haggis and two-stroke engines?

The player gets Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5 as the quest's reward.

Willie: Must... kill... Principal Skinner...
Devil Flanders: Nice brainwashing, House-y! You're the best in the business.
Bad Dream House: You're too kind, O King of Perdition.
Devil Flanders: Okay, who's next? How about the fat comic man?

"Bad Dream House Pt. 3" requires the player to "Reach Level 13" and "Build Android's Dungeon". If these have been done, the quest is to "Make Comic Book Guy Sleep in the Bad Dream House".

Comic Book Guy: If the "spend a night-in-a-haunted-house" plotline was good enough for every "Scooby-Doo" ever, it's good enough for me!

The quest's reward is Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5.

Comic Book Guy: Must... kill... Apu.... Also Lovejoy and Krusty and Milhouse and Mr. Burns...
Devil Flanders: Woah! You gave that brain the scrub-a-dub of the century!
Bad Dream House: Yeah, I was on a roll. That guy has some INTENSE anger issues.
Devil Flanders: Who's next!
Homer: The Simpsons will give it a shot!

The player receives "Bad Dream House Pt. 4", which is to "Make Homer Sleep in the Bad Dream House", "Make Lisa Sleep in the Bad Dream House" and "Make Bart Sleep in the Bad Dream House".

Marge: So this is what it comes to? This is how the Simpsons finally meet their end?
Bad Dream House: Stick to the script, lady.
Marge: Oh, right. Sorry. Must... kill... Homer...
Chief Wiggum: Now hold on a second. You there -- I suppose you have a PERMIT to operate a house of brainwashing?
Devil Flanders: Uh... no. Do I need one?
Chief Wiggum: Read your Satanic Bible, pal.

The player receives "Bad Dream House Pt. 5", which is to "Make Devil Flanders Do Emergency Satanic Bible Study". The task takes 8 hours and on its own, the reward would be Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png70. Once the task is complete:

Devil Flanders: Officer, I apologize about the permit, but my evil plans are THIS CLOSE to fruition...
Chief Wiggum: Sorry. Rules are rules.
Devil Flanders: I am a small businessman, sir. Your town should be WELCOMING people like me!
Chief Wiggum: Thank you for your cooperation.
Devil Flanders: Oh, forget this! I'm going back to hell! Where, if nothing else, I can count on a business-friendly environment!

The player then receives Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5 as a reward, ending the "Bad Dream House" pentalogy and the Halloween quests.

Ray Gun
Tapped Out Ray Gun.png

The Ray Gun is a raygun that was able to be purchased for Donut Tapped Out.png100; the original price was Donut Tapped Out.png150. When Kang flies over your Springfield in his spaceship (after completing "The Black Hole Pt. 4") and Cletus points out the 'alien craft menacing our skies', Professor Frink mentions that they must construct the Frink Ray Gun immediately. Once the player has purchased and placed the Ray Gun:

Kang: Those meddling humans have built the Ray Gun. We must try to destroy it before they use it!

Kang tries to destroy the Ray Gun by firing at it using his spaceship. The player presses the Ray Gun so it shoots into the air. After one shot:

Kang: Stop it! Our craft can only take two more hits like that!

Kang continues to fire at the Ray Gun, while the player continues to fire at his spaceship. Soon, the spaceship starts to wobble before a final hit makes the spaceship crash into the ray gun, destroying it and the ship.

Kang: Ouch. Ouch. OUCH! I think I twisted a tentacle.
Frink: Bullseye! I've put a new Ray Gun in storage.

The player then receives XP.png25 for unlocking Kang.

Kang: Peaceful greetings, puny human!
Lisa: A real life alien! Welcome to Earth, friend!
Kang: Let us live in friendship, and let us not deploy the beacon that summons the Rigellian invasion fleet!
Lisa: Uh... okay.
Kang: That's one thing I wish you not to worry about. No one is deploying any beacons!

The player then receives the quest "We come in Pieces! Pt. 1", which is to "Make Kang Deploy the Beacon", a 12-hour task, which rewards you with Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png150 when the task is set on its own. Once the quest is completed the player receives Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5.

Lisa: Mr. Alien--
Kang: Please, call me Kang the Enslaver of Worlds! How can I help, friend human?
Lisa: There's a zombie outbreak in Springfield. Do you have any advanced technology that could help.
Kang: Of course! Let me just get it over here.

Then the player receives "We come in Pieces! Pt. 2", which is to "Make Kang Activate the Beacon". The task takes 10 minutes, which rewards you with Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png7 when the task is set on its own. Once the quest is completed the player receives Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5.

Lisa: Uh, still waiting for help with the zombies.
Kang: Sprinkle these crystals on your fellow humans. It will, uh, make them zombie-proof!
Lisa: This appears to be common table salt.
Kang: Don't be idiotic! What would be the point of salting humans?

The player receives "We come in Pieces! Pt. 3", which is to "Make Kang Properly Season Humans". The task takes 6 hours and rewards you with Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png90 when it is set on its own. Once the quest is completed the player receives Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5.

Kang: Bwa-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha-haaaaa!
Lisa: What's so funny?
Kang: The Rigellian fleet will be here in moments! You are about to become dinner!
Lisa: Seriously? You'd fly all the way across the galaxy just to eat us?
Kang: Of course! In all the universe, there is no food as well-marbled as the American human!

The player receives "We come in Pieces! Pt. 4", which is to "Make Kang 8-Hour Evil Laugh". The task takes (well, it's in the title) 8 hours and rewards you with Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png105 when it is set on its own. Once the quest is completed the player receives Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5.

Lisa: Excuse me? Your beacon is bleeping.
Kang: Huh. It appears my Message of Summoning didn't go through to the invasion fleet.
Homer: Yeah, reception kinda stinks here in New Springfield. I'm working on it.
Kang: Please, sit patiently while I resend the message that signals your doom...
Homer: No way! Come on, fellow puny humans -- get him!

The player receives "We come in Pieces! Pt. 5", which is to "Make Kang Run from Puny Humans". The 24-hour task rewards the player with Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png225 if the task is set on its own. Once the quest is completed the player receives Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5, ending the "We come in Pieces!" pentalogy.

Cauldron
Tapped Out Cauldron.png

The Cauldron is a cauldron that was able to be purchased for Donut Tapped Out.png90. It can be unlocked after the player has completed "Is There An Al Coholic Pt. 1". Once the player has placed the Cauldron, the player unlocks Marge The Witch - a new outfit for Marge.

Once unlocking the outfit:

Marge The Witch: I love my new outfit! It's just too bad I can't be a REAL witch.
Devil Flanders: You'd use your powers to beat Helen Lovejoy at the annual Church Bake-Off, am I right?
Marge The Witch: You should know that the mind-reading thing is very creepy.
Devil Flanders: I get that a lot. Anyhoo, I'll make you a dealio -- victory in the bake-off, in exchange for... your soul.
Marge The Witch: Hmm.. it WOULD be neat to defeat that horrible woman and her famous lemon bars.
Homer: Mmmm... lemons in bar form...
Marge The Witch: Homer, stop drooling. Okay, Evil Ned, let's do it! Sign me up!

The player then receives "Easy-bake Coven Pt. 1", which is to "Make Devil Flanders Sign up New 'Clients'" and to "Make Marge the Witch Sign away her Soul". Both tasks are 12 hours long. Respectively, the rewards for these tasks if they were set on their own would be Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png100 and Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png150. After completing both tasks, the player receives Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5.

After tapping on Marge The Witch's exclamation mark:

Marge The Witch: Let's see, the first ingredient in the recipe is... candy, three bags. I'm gonna need some help.

The player then receives "Easy-bake Coven Pt. 2", which is to "Send Marge the Witch Trick-or-Treating", "Send Lisa Trick-or-Treating" and to "Send Bart Trick-or-Treating". All three tasks take 16 hours and each task rewards the player with Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png125, XP.png200 in Marge The Witch's case, when completed on their own. Upon completing the quest, the player receives Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5.

After tapping on Marge The Witch's exclamation mark:

Marge The Witch: The next ingredient on the list is Springfield Silvertongue.
Cletus: You in luck, green lady. My last crop just withered due to mysterious and convenient circumstances.
Marge The Witch: If you plant some Silvertongue, I can make it grow faster for you?
Cletus: Can you do that with any crop at all?
Marge The Witch: That's right! Why do you ask?
Cletus: Just want to make sure Mobile-Device-Owning Gigantic Finger Person is paying attention. Here endeth the lesson.

The player receives "Easy-bake Coven Pt. 3", which is to "Plant Silvertongue" and to "Make Marge the Witch Speed up a Crop". Silvertongue costs Cash.png55, takes 8 hours to grow on Cletus's Farm, and rewards the player with Cash.png275 and XP.png75 when harvested. Marge The Witch's task takes 4 hours and the task rewards the player with Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png70 when completed on its own. Upon completing the quest, the player receives Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5.

After tapping on Marge The Witch's exclamation mark:

Marge The Witch: Let's see... I've got the Candy, the Silvertongue, and the Eye of Newt. Now all I need is Dew-Kissed Web of Day-Old Spider.
Homer: I got one! I KNEW I was carrying around this D.K.W.D.O.S. for a reason.
Marge The Witch: Uh, terrific. Thanks.

Then the player receives "Easy-bake Coven Pt. 4", which is to "Make Marge the Witch Stir the Pot". The task takes 12 hours and the task rewards the player with Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png150 when completed on its own. Upon completing the quest, the player receives Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5.

After tapping on Marge The Witch's exclamation mark:

Marge The Witch: Victory! The Bake Sale championship is mine!
Devil Flanders: And your immortal soul is mine!
Marge The Witch: Is there a nice moment you don't love to spoil?
Devil Flanders: Nope. It's truly my worst quality.

Then the player receives "Easy-bake Coven Pt. 5", which is to "Make Marge the Witch do a Victory Lap". The task takes 8 hours and the task rewards the player with Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png105 when completed on its own. Upon completing the quest, the player receives Tapped Out Treat.png1 and XP.png5, completing the "Easy-bake Coven" quest-line.

Outfits

Zombies

Homer turning into a zombie.

In the game, once zombies have come out of the cemeteries, they walk around your Springfield. When they meet a character, they turn that character into a zombie. Once tapping on the zombie character, they return back to normal...until another zombie comes along and turns the character into a zombie again. However, Halloween characters, such as Kang, do not get turned into zombies.
