Giveaway Wheel[edit]

The Giveaway Wheel is a prize wheel. A chance on the wheel costs a spin token and you can use the wheel after you have collected your first spin token. The wheel gives you one of ten prizes. You can only win prizes once. Once you have won all the prizes on a certain section of the wheel, it is replaced by Cash1,000 or gift cards.

Spin tokens can be earned four ways:

  1. The Egg Nog Bar produces 1 spin token every 24 hours.
  2. There is a slight chance of spin tokens appearing in gift bags and presents, similar to donuts appearing in ghosts during the Treehouse of Horror XXIV event.
  3. A spin token is awarded for every additional Gift Card1,000 the player collects after obtaining all the personal prizes.
  4. Spin Tokens can be purchased for donuts: 1 spin token costs Donut10, 3 spin tokens costs Donut25, and 10 spin tokens cost Donut50.

Mechanics[edit]

Two new mechanics were added to the game. The first is a character locator. At the top left of the screen, there is a face of a character. Clicking on that will take you to the character. The face will then change to another character.

Second is an easier way to navigate through friends. When you're in a friend's Springfield, there are two arrows in the bottom left of the screen, one pointing left and one pointing right. Clicking these will take to the previous or next Springfield on your friends list.
