Yeah, I saw the factory but I don’t want to spend doughnuts for that.

Just a heads up because it took me by surprise yesterday. When you finish stage 21 of the Maggie quest, there’s a short cartoon that plays. I always play with no sound, but when that video started, I turned it up. It’s mildly amusing.

I just unlocked Wall E Weasel today. With only just under a week to go, it is going to be super tight to unlock that last prize.

Anyone have any luck playing Where’s Maggie?

Turn your speakers on/plug in your headphones. You will hear Maggie when she is on your screen when scrolling.

I got to play for the first time last night. I found her with 45 seconds to spare, but I couldn’t manage to tap her. I spent those remaining seconds tapping her and all around her, all for naught.

Found Maggie pretty easily this morning. Sound is key; if you have your sound up, the sound of Maggie sucking on her pacifier will get louder as you get closer to her. She appears to hang out on rooftops.

You should tap where you would usually collect money for the building Maggie is on top of (i.e., tap above the building).

Good to know

I usually have the sound off (especially when I’m sneaking in a game at work)

- Thanks !

When you find her, just start tapping like mad all around. There’s apparently a known issue that she’s hard to hit, so to speak.

Almost there. Definitely tomorrow if not tonight.

Does anyone else watch reruns of the show and get pulled out of it when someone says something that’s a game sound clip? They just got Duncan the horse and Bart yelled GET BENT the same as the game and I was really confused for a second. The snowed-in-at-the-school episode is just full of Skinnerisms. That’s the hardest for me to watch.

They seem to have increased the number of bears. I like to think that someone from EA saw my rudimentary plea upthread.

I’ve not finished his quest but they keep making Baby Gerald evil. There’s nothing to suggest he is evil, he’s just Maggie’s nemesis.

You need to watch [_Maggie Simpson in: The Longest Daycare_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoO0s1ukcqQ).

Must still be an issue - I found her with 45 seconds still on the clock, and clicked on pretty much every spot anywhere near her, but it didn’t register.

I may have found the solution - I found her today, zoomed in as much as I could, and had no problem clicking on her.

Got one last round of bonus bear donuts. Ready for the event to be over.

Reminder to let other people be guinea pigs when the update drops (if it’s an app store update.) The event expires in a few hours.

I unlocked Gerald with just hours to spare. No bonus bear donuts, but I can live with that. I do like the bears. I will miss them when they’re gone.

I’m just 200 stupid pacifiers away. It was down to 10 donuts so i spent them which kills me because I’ve been saving up for Barney forever and I am so close… Argh.

You can replay all the videos. Old-timey film camera icon in the upper right of the build menu.
