Easter Fools

Easter Fools Pt. 1

After the user logs in on April 1: My favorite group of holidays are coming up — Good Friday, Easter Sunday… And Half-Off Candy Day! That's the Monday after Easter Sunday. And Dumpster Candy Day. That's on Tuesday. Homer, I'm worried that all your favorite holidays revolve around discounted candy. Have you forgotten the true meaning of Easter? Is there any answer I can give that will keep me from getting a lecture? You could give me back my snow blower. Alright, I'll take the lecture. Task: Make Ned Teach Homer About Easter (4h, Flanders Home) Make Homer Pretend to Listen (4h, Flanders Home) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Easter Fools Pt. 2

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: I hate Easter. These candy baskets, colored eggs and magic rabbits are just a thinly veiled metaphor for the military-industrial complex. You can read about it in my zine — "You Can't Spell Functional Administrative Policy Without Fun." Now that's just silly-dy diddly talk Lisa! I hear there's an Easter egg hunt this year, aren't you excited about that? Mr. Flanders, the only nest eggs I'm interested in are mortgage-backed security funds and 401(k)s. Sounds like you are looking for a more boring holiday to relate to. Might I suggest Good Friday. None of the candy and twice the penitence! If you read my zine, you would've seen my savage expose on all Fridays, both Good and regular. Task: Make Lisa Play the Blues (8h) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Easter Fools Pt. 3

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Hey Lisa, it's Good Friday! Are you ready to get going? Going where? To church? No! We’re going shopping for all those Good Friday deals! Unless there’s some sort of sale going on at the church. Indeed! The Kwik-E-Mart is offering great Good Friday sales on our Easter inventory! Come check it out! Big sales happen on BLACK Friday. Good Friday is the day Jesus was crucified. Yeah. Crucified by his boss for making such crazy deals! At least according to this mattress sale ad. Task: Make Springfielders Shop for Good Friday Sales [x6] (8h, Kwik-E-Mart) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Easter Fools Pt. 4

After tapping on Ned's exclamation mark: *Sigh* Good Friday was the last non-commercialized holiday. I really thought Arbor Day was going to be the hold out, but then it became all about printer paper sales. On the bright side, I got a Good Friday deal on a new 3D Plasma HD TV. So you gave in too? I thought for sure you wouldn't cave. Don't worry, Lisa. I'm only going to watch God's favorite movies on it — The Ten Commandments and Caddyshack. Task: Make Lisa Watch Easter Films (6h, Flanders Home) Make Ned Watch Easter Films (6h, Flanders Home) Maybe I've been too harsh on Easter — it is what you make of it. Sure it's as commercial as all the rest, but I did learn that Caddyshack is a pretty funny movie. But the Ten Commandments only had seven commandments in it. I edited out the ones that were a little too racy. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Easter Fools Pt. 5

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Why do I have to work today when it's still Easter somewhere? I gave you Easter Sunday off – isn’t that enough? Look at those silly gentiles squabbling over their one day holiday. Jewish Passover is 8 days long, suckers. And instead of filthy pork, we get delicious giant unsalted Saltines. D'oh! I knew we picked the wrong god! Task: Make Krusty Prepare for Passover (8h, Krusty Burger) Make Homer Think About Converting to Judaism (8h, Simpson Home) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Easter Egg Hunt

Easter Egg Hunt

After the user logs in on April 5: Now the event everyone's been waiting for… My monthly delivery of expired tuna fish? National Take Your Bribe To Work Day? A ceremony honoring the resurrection of our Lord and Savior? No, no, and no — it's the Easter Egg Hunt! Task: Tap Bunny #24601 Task: Find Easter Egg [x3] Quest reward: 100 and 10

Easter Egg Clue 1

After tapping on Bunny #24601's exclamation mark: *chitter chitter* Place five additional fences from the Easter Egg menu! Get some weird shaped Easter Eggs! *chitter chitter* Find Easter Items in the Easter Section of the Store! Easter Egg Task: Place Easter Fences [x5] System Message Congratulations! You found an Easter Egg! Here's 5 Donuts! I went looking for eggs and instead I found donuts… a far healthier breakfast option! I wonder what other literal and figurative Easter Eggs there are out there? *chitter chitter* Tap on me for clues before Easter is over! Quest reward: 5

Easter Egg Clue 2

After tapping on Bunny #24601's exclamation mark: *chitter chitter* Try sending a certain pointy haired little girl on an Easter Egg hunt! I bet she'll find some funny shaped Easter Eggs! Easter Egg Task: Make Lisa Do an Easter Egg Hunt (45s) System Message Congratulations! You found an Easter Egg! Here's 5 Donuts! Quest reward: 5

Easter Egg Clue 3

After tapping on Bunny #24601's exclamation mark: *chitter chitter* Do you have an Easter Float yet? Tap it 5 times for a special 'Easter Egg'. *chitter chitter* Find Easter Items in the Easter Section of the Store! Easter Egg Task: Tap Easter Float [x5] System Message Congratulations! You found an Easter Egg! Here's 10 Donuts! Quest reward: 10

Premium Gameplay

Gil's Deal

After the user logs in: Ol' Gil fell on some hard times. I moved into a shipping container and got shipped to Polynesia. Daddy I want it! The plus side is I traded the container for this Polynesian god. Celebrate Easter with something new and Gil can celebrate with a hot ham plate. Polynesian god? That's nonsense! Easter is about a bunny that lays eggs and a guy who comes back to life. Hmm, that sounds pretty ridiculous too. Maybe this new god has something going. What's his philosophy on church attendance? Um, Dad. Mom said you weren't allowed to change religions again without consulting her. No church! Woohoo! Just back breaking labor to create giant stone statues in my honor, which I will then grade and use to rank you. Graded and ranked?

Offer Accepted

If you accept: Enjoy your stone god! More fun than a pet rock, which I also have for sale! You’ve got Skippy? Give me my puppy! Of course. And about that reward we hadn’t talked about…? I am a god. I care not for petty things like money! I care only for statues of me! I’d settle for a wish. I’d wish for a hot ham meal. No, Gil, dream big! Two hot ham meals!

Offer Declined

If you decline/press the back arrow: Every day without a pagan idol is a good day for Ned-a-rino! Ol’ Gil will be fine. Just got to tighten the ol’ belt a bit. Or SELL my belt. Anyone want a belt?

Easter Island God

Easter Island

After buying Easter Island God: It's nice to have different cultures represented here in Springfield. This place is usually so yellow washed… And now you can spend the Easter holiday worshipping me! The god of Easter! …island. I suppose adding another take on Easter isn't going to hurt anything. The candy companies will be happy to have something else they can commercialize. I can even fit into the current Easter culture. See, I even dropped a few eggs! Woohoo! Chocolate I hope! Uhhh, I highly doubt they're chocolate. Task: Make Homer Search for Easter Eggs (12h, Easter Island God) After job start: There's something funny about these eggs. Shut up, Brain. Never question Stomach. *Chomp* Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Godhead

After tapping on Rev. Lovejoy's exclamation mark: Um, excuse me Mr… Island? Please, just call me God. Or your Lord and Savior Godhead, for short. About that, we sort of feel like Easter already has one God story and we're pretty sure the one is enough. So… But my story is so much better. I forced my people to make stone idols in my honor and worship them until they depleted all of their resources and died. The end. Perhaps if you offered some sort of unified dogma or moral code to live by. I do. "BUILD STONE HEADS!" Next question. Task: Make Reverend Lovejoy Suffer a Headache (12h, First Church of Springfield) For an island dweller, this bossy stone god is definitely not Jimmy Buffet material. And I can't ignore that Easter Island was a humanitarian and ecological disaster. Oh sure, blame me for that when the entire world is doing the same thing. If anything we were ahead of the curve. Ugh, convincing you is like trying to squeeze blood from a stone. Is that a threat? Quest reward: 100 and 10

Kirk Van Gogh

After tapping on Kirk's exclamation mark: It's not every day that I get a job offer from a real god! Or a job offer. What's my job title gonna be? High Priest? Bishop? I'll even take a simple, non-sarcastic Father. HA! You? A Father?! Don't make me laugh. …I do have a son. This being Lord thing hasn't been as lucrative as I hoped. So I'm going with my fallback career — Slum Lord. I need you to be my rental agent. Convincing desperate people to make bad decisions is something I do everyday! Well, not so much people as person. And that person is me. Task: Make Kirk Advertise Slums (12h) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Returning Items Gameplay

To view Returning Items Gameplay, click "show":

Johnny Fiestas After the player builds Johnny Fiestas: Johnny Fiestas! I've been there with one of my women's groups. Their margaritas are fantastic! What is their food like? I have no memory of their food... Banana Dictatorship Tropical Thunder After the player builds Banana Dictatorship: Banana Dictatorship?! I love stores named for a repressive, socially stratified politcal system. It just screams "fashion." Blocko Store Hip To Be Cubical After the player builds Blocko Store: Oooh, the Blocko Store! Where, if you can imagine it, you can build it! The doctor says I was born without an imagination. But you guys can all have fun! Hugs Bunny The Last Temptation of Hugs Bunny Pt. 1 After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Look, Tapped Out players! It's the Easter Bunny! Actually, sir, my name is Hugs Bunny. Or rather, that'a the name of the character I am portraying. I am plainly a man in a bunny suit. Oh. I mean, look, TSTO gang! It's a guy in a bunny suit! Geez, everybody. Don't be so gullible. Did you REALLY believe that was the Easter Bunny? Because I sure didn't. Not for a second. Seriously, everybody, I think tapping on that phone all day is turning your brains to mush. As much fun as it is listening to you berate your local customers, I have work to do. You'll excuse me. Task: Make Hugs Bunny Check on Easter Eggs (1h). Quest reward: 100 and 10 The Last Temptation of Hugs Bunny Pt. 2 After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Hugs, you are truly the most gifted performer the world has ever known. I own a bunny suit. That is the full extent of my talents. I've not even taken the time to develop an "act". Most four-year-olds find me woefully unprofessional. Let me be your agent, Hugs, and I promise you that within three years you'll be accepting the Oscar for Best Rabbit. There's no such thing, and even if there was, I would lose. See, the Oscars are a popularity contest, and I am famously difficult to work with. Because, when you get down to it, I am ashamed to be a man in a bunny suit. I believe in you, Hugs! Well, I don't. Task: Reach Level 7 and Build the Blue House Task: Make Hugs Bunny Work a Birthday Party (4h, Blue House). Quest reward: 100 and 10 The Last Temptation of Hugs Bunny Pt. 3 After tapping on Hugs Bunny's exclamation mark: Another day, another mildly disappointed birthday party. Let me be your agent, Hugs. Don't you want to make the big bucks? If I felt I deserved them, yes. But again, I am a lazy hack. A lazy hack who deserves to be paid more for his art. I can get you what's right and fair. Then I will take 30%, leaving you with 70% of what's right and fair. Doesn't that sound fair? Not especially, but I'm tired of arguing. Go for it. Task: Make Hugs Bunny Fight for Fair Compensation (24h, Purple House). Quest reward: 100 and 10 The Last Temptation of Hugs Bunny Pt. 4 After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Bad news, Hugs. Some lawyers from Disney saw an ad I took out for you. They're suing you for stealing their character. Hugs Bunny isn't a Disney character. I invented him! See, they did a movie with the Easter Bunny in it. So now they feel they own all holiday-themed rodents. They also claim to own the rights to Santa Claus, the Boogeyman, the emotion "love," Ronald Reagan and dreams. Oh, and in that same movie one character hugged another, so by using the name "Hugs," you're infringing on their intellectual property. Looks like Hugs is dead. Really sorry. You idiot! Task: Reach Level 20 and Build the Town Hall Task: Make Hugs Bunny Battle Homer (8h, Town Hall, Homer). Quest reward: 100 and 10 The Last Temptation of Hugs Bunny Pt. 5 After tapping on Hugs Bunny's exclamation mark: Hugs Bunny, you have been found guilty of assauly, disturbing the peace, and resisting arrest. I hereby sentence you to twelve hours of community service, starting with an educational presentation at the local elemantary school. ... Well, at least you're back in show business, Easter Bunny. I am NOT the Easter Bunny, you buffoon! Task: Make Hugs Bunny Give a Presentation to Children (12h, Springfield Elementary). Quest reward: 100 and 10 Shary Bobbins A Spoonful of Bitter Pt. 1 After tapping on Ned's exclamation mark: Homer, I was thinking my boys might benefit from having a woman in the house. I get it -- you want my advice on how to meet women. Well, "Christian Couples" is a great dating site for people like you. "PlentyofJesusFish" is also good. Or if you're feeling frisky, there's "Chritian Swingers." Though I imagine you'll meet some very conflicted people. No, no, I'm looking for a nanny! Someone like Shary Bobbins, who came into your life so magically, discovered what horrible people you are, then got sucked into a jet engine. Oh yeah -- happy memories. But hey, if Shary Bobbins is who you want, Shary Bobbins is who you'll get! But Homer... she's dead. Stupid Flanders, Shary Bobbins is magic! She WAS dead, but now she's alive... because of magic. You don't mean... BLACK magic? No! Let's call it... "grey" magic... Well, actually really, really dark grey. Like Payne's Grey. So dark it kinda looks black. But of course it's not. Only it is. Task: Make Shary Bobbins Practice "Grey" Magic" (8h, Brown House). Quest reward: 100 and 10 A Spoonful of Bitter Pt. 2 After tapping on Shary Bobbins's exclamation mark: I've never seen such well-behaved childern! Your rooms are spotless, your homework is done, and you've completed every task set before you. Oh no, we've run out of chores! It's a kid's worst nightmare! Bedtime isn't until 5:30. However shall we ever fill the time? Now, now, children. If you search a little harder, you can always find some meaningless task to fill the time... I feel a song coming on... BUSY WORK! BUSY WORK! POINTLESS TASKS FOR IDLE JERKS! NOTHING THAT NEEDS DOING, NOTHING REALLY WORTH PURSUING! BUSY WORK! BUSY WORK! ANYTHING THAT LEAVES YOU IRKED! SORTING'S ALWAYS BRUTAL, EVEN MORE SO WHEN IT'S FUTILE! Task: Make Shary Bobbins Sing an Educational Song (4h). Quest reward: 100 and 10 A Spoonful of Bitter Pt. 3 After tapping on Shary Bobbins's exclamation mark: Wow, Shary Bobbins! We just spent hours accomplishing nothing! You see, children? I knew you could do it! Now, imagine how much more fun it would be if, instead of just wasting time, you actally accomplished something? And what if the thing you accomplished was something very, very naughty? Wouldn't that be even MORE fun? You're scaring me, British lady. NAUGHTY PRANKS! NAUGHTY PRANKS! TRY THEM AND YOU'LL GIVE ME THANKS! KIDS BEHAVING BADLY NEVER PASS THE EVENING SADLY! NAUGHTY PRANKS! NAUGHTY PRANKS! SOON YOU WILL BE ROBBING BANKS! LET'S GET INTO TROUBLE, AND LET'S DO IT ON THE DOUBLE! Task: Make Shary Bobbins Encourage Evil Deeds (1h, Flanders Home). Quest reward: 100 and 10 A Spoonful of Bitter Pt. 4 After tapping on Shary Bobbins's exclamation mark: Daddy, Shary Bobbins is making us do bad things! Miss Bobbins, far be it from an American to criticize anyone with a British accent... ...but why are you corrupting my little angels? Godness me! Most people who use the Dark Arts to summon their nannies from beyond the grave EXPECT this kind of thing! Yes, well, it didn't say anything about "demonic tendencies" in your references. I've been meaning to update those. Task: Reach Level 7 and Build the Blue House Task: Make Shary Bobbins Update her References (12h, Blue House). Quest reward: 100 and 10 A Spoonful of Bitter Pt. 5 After tapping on Ned's exclamation mark: Miss Bobbins, I'm afraid this just isn't working out. Are you firing me? "Firing" is such an ugly word. Let's call it "encouraging your relocation by brining in an exorcist and dousing the entire house in holy water." I suppose it's for the best. I've never met such perfect angels as your boys. It makes me sick. If only Homer Simpson would take me back. That son of his shows real promise, evil-wise. Ah, well. Goodbye, children! Task: Make Shary Bobbins Fly on her Umbrella (24h). Quest reward: 100 and 10
