Kearney I'm not gonna ask for your lunch money again, Martin. Cough it up!
Martin Can you break a hundred?
Kearney Aw man, now I'm gonna have to shake down like 15 more kids to make change...
Bart Wow, Martin, where'd you get all that money?
Martin I mined some Bitcoin with my computer, and then the value went through the roof!
Bart How do you mine with a computer?
Martin It's really quite simple. Have you ever heard of a little thing called "blockchain"?
Bart No.
Martin Well, neither had I until last week. But now I act like I'm an expert on it! Gather 'round!
Task: Make Martin Repeatedly Mention "Blockchain" Without Defining It (6s, Springfield Elementary)

Marge Hey, where'd you get that wad of cash?
Bart It's all thanks to a little thing called Bitcoin.
Homer A way to earn money that doesn't rely on the Tooth Fairy, eh?
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Crypto-Crap[edit]

After completing Crypto-Cool:
Homer I think this computer switched to Southern Hemisphere mode. All my Bitcoin lines and arrows are going the wrong way.
Bart That's because Bitcoin is worthless now.
Bart If you were smart, you would've jumped into the hottest new cryptocurrency, Ethereum.
Homer Ether-what? I was just getting used to Bitcoin. Good thing I only dumped half my life savings into it.
Homer Who'd have thought trading mysterious, unregulated currency would be so hard?
Task: Make Adults Mine Ethereum [x3] (6s, Homes)
Task: Make Kids Mine Prognosticoin, the Next Big Thing [x3] (6s, Springfield Elementary)
Mr. Burns Smithers, are my employees balding more quickly than usual?

Mr. Burns That gives me a brilliant idea...
Smithers You're not going to try to take over the wig industry again, are you?
Mr. Burns No, I'm going to start my own cryptocurrency!
Mr. Burns But those wig weasels will fall someday...
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Dave Shutton Plug[edit]

After completing Crypto-Crap:
Tapped Out Dave Shutton Icon.png Hmm, folks around here are getting all riled up about this "cryptocurrency".
Tapped Out Dave Shutton Icon.png Better do my journalistic duty and get to the bottom of this. Now, where's an ATM where I can get some of these things?
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Three)[edit]

Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Three) Pt. 1[edit]

After completing Dave Shutton Plug:
Homer Let's see what hot new currency I should dump my paycheck into today...
Homer Wait a minute... my paycheck is already made out in a cryptocurrency called Burnscoins.
Mr. Burns That's right, loyal employee. I've decided to make a currency of my own, and share it with all of Springfield. And all proceeds will be reinvested back into Springfield. Starting with the school.
Homer Hm, that's good. Lisa goes there every day. And Bart goes there sometimes too.

Homer I'm using fake money to buy fake money. Now that's investing!
Marge This is the first time I've put money in a market that wasn't the food kind.
Willie This currency is more unstable than my unstable uncle's unstable stable.
Moe If this goes down, I'll kill myself. Probably do that if it goes up too.
Wiggum I have no idea if trading this stuff is legal. I should really know that.
Comic Book Guy Ugh, this is awful. I haven't seen a fluctuating market like this since the Pog days.
Tapped Out Dave Shutton Icon.png This story will make my career. But if I make of bunch of money with this trade, who needs a career?
Hank Scorpio Whoever invented cryptocurrencies is an even eviler genius than me!
On job end:
Smithers Sir, if you're going to lie about your plans with the money, at least make it more believable than "donating to the school".
Mr. Burns When have I ever lied?
Smithers Well, you promised the EPA you'd stop dumping untreated nuclear waste in the river--
Mr. Burns Pshaw! Watch me deliver this check to the school myself.
Smithers He's donating money? Oh God, this is terrible! Mr. Burns must be... dying!

Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Three) Pt. 2[edit]

After completing Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Three) Pt. 1:
Skinner I have to say, Mr. Burns, when you gave us that donation, I was afraid there would be some strings attached.
Skinner Literally. I thought a string was going to rip my fingers off. Like the last time you handed me a check.
Mr. Burns Jeez, you spend your whole life screwing over every person in a whole city, and suddenly they're suspicious when you're charitable.
Task: Make Skinner Buy Computers for the School (3h, Springfield Elementary)
Task: Make Skinner Buy Gloves to Cover His Finger Scars (3h, Springfield Elementary)

Bart Seems strange that Burns is being so generous. Lis', doesn't it seem strange? Lis'?
Lisa Why do you always look to me to be the buzzkill? The school has state of the art computers, and I just bought a solid gold sax!
Lisa It's too heavy to play, but it's so shiny!
Quest reward: Cash500 and XP10

Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Three) Pt. 3[edit]

After completing Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Three) Pt. 2:
Smithers Dr. Hibbert, you've got to tell me what's wrong with Mr. Burns. He's acting crazy. He's being... generous.
Dr. Hibbert You know I can't talk about a patient's condition. Unless it's a hilarious illness.
Smithers Maybe a little Burnscoin would make your Hippocratic Oath more of a Hippocratic Shrug?
Dr. Hibbert I've already got more B-coin than I know what to do with!
Smithers You're into cryptocurrency now too?
Dr. Hibbert Of course! A random guy at the gas station told me how foolproof it was, so I dumped my life savings into it!
Dr. Hibbert I've even been using these new MRI machines that Burns donated to mine more Burnscoin!
Task: Make Hibbert Deny Patients MRIs to Mine Burnscoins (3h, Hibbert Family Practice)
Task: Make Smithers Snoop Around (3h, Hibbert Family Practice)

Quest reward: Cash500 and XP10

Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Three) Pt. 4[edit]

After completing Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Three) Pt. 3:
Smithers Sir, please, you've gotta tell me what's wrong with you! Are you sick? Dying? ALREADY DEAD?!
Smithers There's got to be a reason you're being so generous with your Burnscoins earnings.
Mr. Burns Dying? I'm fit as some sort of fiddled instrument.
Mr. Burns And to prove it, watch this!
Task: Make Burns Destroy Springfield (1h, Springfield Scale Model)
Task: Mine Burnscoins [x400]
Skinner So you're going to wreck the town -- yet again -- by being... overly generous?

Smithers Your old sun blocker?
Mr. Burns My old... sun... bah! It's a different, better sun blocker! You'll see!
Quest reward: Cash500 and XP10

Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Three) Pt. 5[edit]

After completing Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Three) Pt. 4:
Homer Ah, 24/7 shade. Now that song "I Wear My Sunglasses At Night" is true during the day, too!
Smithers Doesn't this bother anyone?
Lisa Yes! The vegetation is going to wither and--
Smithers I'm not talking about the stupid plants, I'm talking about the Sun Blocker.
Smithers If Mr. Burns was gonna go to all the trouble of coming up with this cockamamie cryptocurrency scheme, why have such a lazy, un-original payoff--
Homer Uh, Smithers...you're blocking my shade.
Task: Make Burns Absorb Solar Power With the Sun Blocker (3h, Sun Blocker 2)
Task: Make Homer Try Not to Bump Into Things While Wearing Sunglasses (3h, Simpson House)
Task: Mine Burnscoins [x400]
Homer I don't know what Smithers' deal is, but he'd better not ruin this for everyone by screwing with Burns.
Lisa I hate to say it, but I agree with you, Dad. Maybe Burns has changed for real.
Marge Speaking of change, I think it's time to change Maggie.
Maggie *giggle*
Marge Have a lolly, Maggie, while I get your diaper bag.
Quest reward: Cash500 and XP10

Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Three) Pt. 6[edit]

After completing Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Three) Pt. 5:
Smithers Mr. Burns, this has to stop: the charity, the niceness, the free solar power from the Sun Blocker.
Mr. Burns Oh, I get it. You've heard everyone talking about blockchains like they understand them when they clearly don't, and thought their success was undeserved.
Mr. Burns So now you've got sour grapes because you didn't invest.
Smithers I don't care about Burnscoins. I just care about Burns!
Mr. Burns Is that a gun?!
Smithers Go back to being the old Burns and steal candy from that baby... *sniffs* That baby who needs to be changed.
Mr. Burns Uh, right, it's definitely the baby who needs changing...
Quest reward: Maggie
Task: Make Burns Pilfer Sweets From Infant (4h, Maggie)
Task: Mine Burnscoins [x400]
Homer So bright! How come no one turned on the Sun Blocker to block out that terrible, picturesque sunrise this morning?

Marge And has anyone seen Burns? Or Maggie for that matter?
Quest reward: Cash1,000 and XP20

Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Four)[edit]

Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Four) Pt. 1[edit]

After tapping on Wiggum's exclamation mark:
Wiggum All right, everybody, settle down. It shouldn't be that hard to find a baby and a near-immortal trillionaire.
Marge Hm, it's not like Maggie to disappear for this long.
Homer Don't worry, Maggie can't have gotten far. There're just not that many land tiles here.
Lisa Uh-oh. With Burns missing, the value of Burnscoin is starting to go down.
Homer But... but... the blockchain! Right?! The blockchain?
Task: Make Burns Collapse on Sundial (3h, Sundial)
Task: Make Maggie Hang Out at the Crime Scene (3h, Sundial)
Wiggum Well, Marge, we found them! And at least one of them is still alive.
Marge *gasp* Not my baby!
Wiggum Sorry, let me be more specific. The baby's alive... and the prime suspect of a murder trial!
Wiggum ...Attempted Murder... Accessory After the Fact. It's a pretty thin case. I mean, we all know it was Smithers, right?
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Four) Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Wiggum's exclamation mark:
Smithers Look, I know I had the opportunity, the gun, and literally the only motive in town since Mr. Burns was making everyone so happy, but I didn't shoot him!
Smithers But if me taking the rap for this prevents it from being the baby again, I guess I did it--
Wiggum Shut that confessing mouth before I coerce the crap outta you!
Wiggum I wanna solve this case myself, so don't say anything before I get a chance to do some police work and question this baby.
Task: Make Wiggum Interrogate Maggie (3h, Police Station)
Task: Make Smithers Unsuccessfully Try to Confess (3h, Police Station)
Wiggum Let me ask you this, Ms. Simpson: can I have a lick of that lolly?
Maggie *suck* *suck*
Wiggum Not sharing until you talk to your lawyer, I see. This is going to be one sticky case.

Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Four) Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Maggie's exclamation mark:
Judge Snyder We will now commence the trial of the People vs. Waylon Smithers, and to a much lesser extent, that baby.
Dr. Hibbert Objection, your Honor!
Judge Snyder On what grounds, random guy shouting from the gallery?
Dr. Hibbert Mr. Burns wasn't shot, he had a heart attack!
Judge Snyder You couldn't tell the difference right away? Then why is this called "Who Shot Mr. Burns, Part Three?"
Dr. Hibbert Oh, I've been saying "Who SHOCKED Mr. Burns." His pacemaker went berserk and *shocked* his heart.
Judge Snyder But why add the "Part Three" at the end?
Dr. Hibbert Because it PARTED three of his arteries. Trust me, this explanation isn't a stretch at all.
Task: Make Dr. Hibbert Go Over Burns' Medical Chart (3h, Hibbert Family Practice)
If the user has Dave Shutton: Task: Make Dave Shutton Correct Headlines to Read "Who SHOCKED Mr. Burns?" (3h, Springfield Shopper)
Dr. Hibbert Reassemble the trial!
Judge Snyder Why? I already took off my judge's robe and put on my bathrobe. They look the same, but they're very, very different.
Dr. Hibbert Because someone WAS trying to kill Mr. Burns -- his pacemaker was hacked!
Smithers *gasps*
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Four) Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Mr. Burns' exclamation mark:
Dr. Hibbert Someone messed with your pacemaker, Mr. Burns.
Mr. Burns Oh, no, that was me.
Smithers You hacked your own pacemaker?
Mr. Burns I was using it to mine Burnscoin. Who knew a 112-year-old-man would have trouble tinkering with modern technology?
Mr. Burns But this brush with death has taught me that the only way to live forever is to be extremely ruthless. Burnscoin is no more!
Task: Make Burns Undo All the Good He Did (3h, Control Building)
Lisa Well, I guess that's how it usually goes, back to the status quo.
Homer Status quo?! How much does that cryptocurrency cost?
Lisa No, Dad, it means--
Lisa A hundred dollars. It costs a hundred dollars.
Homer Woo-hoo! I'm a financial genius!
Quest reward: Cash200 and XP20

After tapping on Dave Stutton's exclamation mark:
Tapped Out Dave Shutton Icon.png This just in: me. Dave Shutton is back in Springfield in search of a scoop that'll be a real page-turner.
Brockman No one turns pages anymore, Shutton. It's all about views, clickthroughs, and you-won't-believe-what-they-look-like-nows.
Tapped Out Dave Shutton Icon.png Your cynical attitude will be disproven with some good old-fashioned investigative reporting.
Tapped Out Dave Shutton Icon.png Now, are there any fat twins on motorcycles around here I can photograph?

Tapped Out Dave Shutton Icon.png First step, upgrading from my trusty flip phone to whichever phone I get for free when I renew my cell contract.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Crypto-Collusion Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Dave Stutton's exclamation mark:
Tapped Out Dave Shutton Icon.png Whoa, there's all kinds of crazy stuff on this phone! Twitter, the weather, freemium games -- no thanks, sounds like a waste of time.
Tapped Out Dave Shutton Icon.png What's this cryptocurrency everyone's talking about?
Comic Book Guy You've come to the right place. I have become a collector of cyber currencies.
Tapped Out Dave Shutton Icon.png Collector? You mean there's more of this stuff?

Tapped Out Dave Shutton Icon.png So it's a hit! Great, it brings me joy to inform the public of the dangers of sketchy online money.
Brockman Oh, it didn't scare anyone. They assume that all news is fake news, so they just did the opposite of what you said.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Crypto-Collusion Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Dave Stutton's exclamation mark:
Tapped Out Dave Shutton Icon.png I don't understand. How do I get the people of Springfield's attention?
Tapped Out Dave Shutton Icon.png Maybe reading was never this town's strong suit. But what if I got my message out on TV?
Tapped Out Dave Shutton Icon.png I can't believe I need Kent's help, but it's time to head to Channel 6.
Task: Reach Level 23 and Build Channel 6
Task: Make Dave Shutton Plead to Kent Brockman (3h, Channel 6)
Tapped Out Dave Shutton Icon.png So Kent, what do you say? You help me get the word out, and I write a couple of your exposés?
Brockman It's a deal. The first exposé will be: "What's That Smell Coming From the Zoo?"
Tapped Out Dave Shutton Icon.png I knew you'd make me regret this immediately.
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Crypto-Collusion Pt. 5[edit]

After tapping on Dave Stutton's exclamation mark:
Apu I'm sorry, sir, we only accept personalized cryptocurrency from each customer.
Tapped Out Dave Shutton Icon.png It's getting worse! Why isn't anyone listening to me?
Brockman This just in, people only watch news to reaffirm their own beliefs, not to get actual news.
Tapped Out Dave Shutton Icon.png Well, if it's pandering they want, at least my pandering will be incredibly distracting.
Task: Make Dave Shutton Capture the Moment Again (8h)
Tapped Out Dave Shutton Icon.png That's it! One simple cute dog video should keep them occupied.
Tapped Out Dave Shutton Icon.png But the allure of cryptocurrency will remain. Hopefully no billionaire evil mogul hears about this. The exploitation would be catastrophic!
Quest reward: Cash200 and XP20
