Ghosts[edit]

The following is a gallery of images relating to the ghosts (excluding Maude) in the game:

Gremlins[edit]

Gremlin artwork.

A chance to collect a Gremlin is possible when a ghost is popped. Gremlins are stored, like currency, and when the player enters a friend's town, they have the option to release a Gremlin or not. If the Gremlin is caught by the friend player within four hours of it being released, the player who released it gets rewarded with Goo2. If the friend player does not catch the Gremlin within four hours, the player who released it gets rewarded with Goo4.

Simpson Attic[edit]

With the update, the "Simpson Attic" system was added. Leading up to the premiere of "Treehouse of Horror XXIV", the player would have to obtain an item each day through popping ghosts. If the player collected them all, they would get a chance at winning a Strongman Homer skin, on the day of the episode's first airing.

Description[edit]

Pop Ghosts to find new items, or as we call them, "frightems!" Collect them all to unlock a prize. A new frightem is released each day from our servers, or as we call them, "fearvers."
