Wikisimpsons - The Simpsons Wiki

Gameplay[edit]

What Makes a Home[edit]

After the user logs in on January 9th:
Bart Ah! Thanks to global warming, spring is already in the air. You know what that means?
Milhouse Seasonal allergies?
Bart It means we can swindle old ladies into paying us to do their spring cleaning!
Milhouse Aw man, the only thing I hate more than cleaning is swindling. So much pressure!
Bart Tell ya what: I'll handle the swindling, you do the cleaning.
Milhouse Phew, thanks.
Bart There's Mrs. Skinner! We're supposed to be cleaning her house right now! Hide!
Task: Make Milhouse Hide in the Brown House (6s, Brown House)
Task: Make Bart Hide in the Brown House (6s, Brown House)
Bart Whew, fortunately this Brown House was right here within running distance.
Milhouse And it has an asthma inhaler in it, to help me recover from that short distance running.
Bart Yeah, Brown Houses always have just what you need in them. It's almost like they can read your mind.
Milhouse It can read minds? I better not think of anything scary.
Milhouse Oh no, trying not to think of scary things is scary!

Mystery of the Brown House[edit]

Mystery of the Brown House Pt. 1[edit]

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark:
Bart We finished cleaning your Brown House, Ms. Glick!
Lisa We?! I did all the cleaning, you and Milhouse just played Frisbee with Ms. Glick's many, many doilies.
Bart That's not true -- I also blew my nose into one.
Tapped Out Original Brown House Silhouette Icon.png Milhouse. Milhouse, come to me. I have all the Puppy Goo-Goos you want.

Task: Make Milhouse Investigate Ominous Voice (4h, Brown House)
Task: Collect Hard Candies [x200]
Tapped Out Alice Glick Icon.png Now now, children. I have enough candy for everyone. There's no need to fight.

Tapped Out Alice Glick Icon.png Fine, more for me!
Tapped Out Alice Glick Icon.png ...is what I would say if I could still eat candy. Now take some!
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Mystery of the Brown House Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark:
Bart All right, lady, we cleaned the house. Where's the dough?
Tapped Out Alice Glick Icon.png Sorry, I don't have dough, only candy.
Bart No, I mean where's the cheese?
Tapped Out Alice Glick Icon.png I don't have any cheese either.
Lisa Bart, stop using outdated, confusing slang terms for money and just ask for our payment!
Tapped Out Alice Glick Icon.png For all your hard work, here's two shiny quarters.
Bart Ugh, how are we gonna split that three ways?

Task: Place Ms. Glick's House
Task: Make Lisa Search for Milhouse (4h, Ms. Glick's House)
Task: Collect Hard Candies [x200]

Lisa He'd never be late to eat candy. I think something bad happened to him.
Tapped Out Alice Glick Icon.png I'm sure your friend Milton will show up when you least expect it. Have some more candy.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Mystery of the Brown House Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark:
Lisa Do you ever wonder why Ms. Glick has us clean so many Brown Houses?
Bart Maybe she's a savvy business woman -- she cleans houses and flips them for a tidy profit.
Bart I always wanted to say "tidy profit". Makes me feel like a rich jerk from an '80s movie.
Lisa No, those houses aren't normal. They're always abandoned, but fully furnished.
Lisa I think there might be a connection between the Brown Houses and Milhouse going missing.
Lisa If we just follow the clues and slowly piece them together--
Bart Found it, right here on my phone. It's like a curse/ritual sacrifice sorta thing.
Task: Make Bart Undercut Lisa's Big Moment (4h, Springfield University, Lisa)
Task: Collect Hard Candies [x350]
Bart Why do you always want to piece together clues? So tedious.
Lisa Just tell me what you found out!
Bart Ms. Glick is actually hundreds of years old and has been sacrificing kids to the magical Brown House to stay alive.
Lisa That's amazing! I'm proud of you for figuring it out, Bart.
Bart Some other kids figured it out and posted it to the Internet.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Mystery of the Brown House Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Alice Glick's exclamation mark:
Tapped Out Alice Glick Icon.png Say, would you kids like some more candy?
Bart Why? So you can lure us into that house and sacrifice us?
Tapped Out Alice Glick Icon.png What?! I-- how did you know about that?
Lisa It's online.
Tapped Out Alice Glick Icon.png Oh... I was planning on slowly revealing my scheme as I tortured you.
Lisa I know, right? It takes all the fun out of this mystery.
Bart Does it? It's just less story to slog through.
Tapped Out Alice Glick Icon.png Well, I'm still going to go through with my ritual!
Task: Make Ms. Glick Prepare for the Ritual (8h, Ms. Glick's House)
Task: Collect Hard Candies [x400]
Tapped Out Alice Glick Icon.png And place an eye of newt here, and draw a pentagram on the floor over here...
Bart "Eye of newt"? That's so played out! Where do you even get that anymore?
Lisa It's a tried and true trope, Bart! It's classic. Now let her go through her ritual!
Bart Seems like a stall, is all I'm saying...
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Mystery of the Brown House Pt. 5[edit]

After tapping on Alice Glick's exclamation mark:
Tapped Out Alice Glick Icon.png There, all set up.
Bart Finally! Can we get on with it? We all know how it's gonna end.
Tapped Out Alice Glick Icon.png Oh? How's that?
Bart You're gonna try to sacrifice us, Lisa's gonna figure out how to stop you, we save Milhouse and life goes on.
Lisa As much as I hate to say it, he's right. I mean, it's not like this is Halloween where we can die.
Tapped Out Alice Glick Icon.png True, but it's the only Glick-centered update I'm going to get, so I'm going to make it count!
Bart and Lisa AHHHH!
Task: Make Ms. Glick Sacrifice Bart and Lisa (4h, Original Brown House, Lisa)
Task: Collect Hard Candies [x300]
Tapped Out Alice Glick Icon.png Wow! The house devoured them. Even I'M surprised that worked!
Lisa So... what? We're dead? That's really not supposed to happen.
Tapped Out Original Brown House Icon.png But I need to feed on children's souls in order to grant Ms. Glick eternal life.
Bart Whoa! You can talk? That would have been fun to see in this update before now.
Lisa Look, if we're dead then people will get mad and stop tapping... and then this whole game will be dead.
Tapped Out Alice Glick Icon.png But I don't want that! I just got here. I never even got to just walk around and do meaningless tasks.
Tapped Out Original Brown House Icon.png Look, all I really need is children's souls. I could keep those and let the children go.
Lisa Works for me, I guess. Bart?
Bart Sure. I made a big stink about losing my soul once, but that was a long time ago.
Tapped Out Original Brown House Icon.png Great. The children get to stay and I get my dinner.
Tapped Out Alice Glick Icon.png And I get to live forever!
Tapped Out Alice Glick Icon.png *evil cackle*

Shauna Personality? Dating nowadays is about making a snap judgement about someone after two seconds of looking at them.
Tapped Out Alice Glick Icon.png Are you talking about dating apps? No one in here has a cellphone, so I can't "swipe right" on them.
