Maggie can do tasks there for extra dummies.

Dont think Maggie is needed for some quests, so you can send her off for extra dummies.

I'm hoping that the distance between prizes in act 3 is reduced as getting to the 3rd level is taking bloody ages!
Nice to see Maggie finally added though..only a few years after the game was released!

[sheldimus]

Don't think i'll be getting the final prize of Act 3 despite regular tapping of bears..
The find Maggie mini game is easier than what some folks have said as you can tap like a mental once you home in on the sucky noises. Luck more than judgement but it works when she's hiding behind some scenery.

Sanjay's son, Jamshed has now rocked up. Small story arc.
And now Dr Nick is getting in on the act promoting unhealthy eating!

the last two times I've found Maggie the game won't recognise I've found her no matter how much tapping on and around her I do.

I got Gerald this morning . Tapping Maggie is a bit weird, sometimes I have to zoom right in and click lots to register it, this morning it was one tap while I was zoomed out.

There's been a sub quest for the last few days with Jay as a new character and tasks at the Kwik E Mart, so I sent all the people I could to do the tasks and boost up the cash and XP each time. I need to work on building up Springfield Heights now, unless the next level update comes soon.

Same for me.

1 day left before the winter stuff is supposed to end. Is any of the limited premium stuff worth getting? There's the Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers building and Lucille Botzcowski, Ling Bouvier, or the slide factory. The only one I'm thinking of getting is Lucille Botzcowski with the Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers.

Or just leave it all and save more donuts

For some reason bears aren't appearing my my other Springfield now. Only need 900 more dummies to get Gerald, wonder if I can get that in 20 hours ... probably not.

Lucile is great just for her walk

Ling doesn't have much of a storyline, Slide factory generates dummies at the moment but not much use in a few hours!

[ajprice]

I got Lucille. Hoping they don't update it for a little while, just need the bears a bit more to get bonus donuts, 500 pacifiers to go

[ajprice]

I got the 500 for the 3 donuts. There's an app update now to get rid of winter and make everything green again. Some of the donuts stuff is still there for a few more hours like the police tank, and you can buy an imaginary bear for 35 donuts. The find Maggie game is still there.

Goodbye winter!!

[sheldimus]

The Gerald story arc is pretty thin..
I find that when playing Where's Maggie, tapping the building that she's sitting on works best as opposed to actually tapping Maggie.

Glad the update is here, bored of winter now.

[Snubs]

I'll have to give that 'tap the building' idea a go. It's always been tricky to get the tap to register on Maggie, but i found her within 10 seconds this morning and couldn't get the tap to register before the time ran out! Tried zooming in / out, panning away completely etc etc. Nowt worked

[ajprice]

Tapping the building Maggie is on worked for me

Donut spend alert! Deep Space Homer now available

[sheldimus]

Space update is here. Something about an incoming asteroid and Frink.
Hoping it's not the typical collect random things for prizes as has become the EA way.

In all seriousness what else is it going to be?there are loads of better games if you want to play puzzles etc, its a game where you collect money and build things!
