So I guess tapping on random clowns doesn’t buy you anything.

Man, I hate this damn clown thing. Can’t find the damn clowns, I get about 2 per day. Fuck this.

Fortunately, you only have to tap 5 of them. Tapped Out used the same gimmick years ago and it was a PITA then. At least it paid out then and if you sat in one spot in your town, the characters slowly made their way there. I don’t know if these clowns do that though.

Yeah, I fixed it. My city is a shithole with no design so I only have a few blocks of roads. I created more roads, put everyone on 24 hour tasks, and was able to finally find the clowns.

There are some fun Donut Day items for sale now with bonuses. Get them while they’re hot.

Also, if you get Sprinkles, you get a donut for tapping him and then XP for tapping him a few times more. After that, it appears that he stops digging holes as an action and it doesn’t produce XP.

I was getting some and had to close the game so thanks for the reminder. I’m finding this assorted crap looks nice in my Krustyland

Impressive. I’m still at 1930.44%. I have a lot of items from the vault but I’m filling up on those, I wish they would add more stuff to that.

I do see the double decker outhouse is available and that has 2.25%. That’s a pretty decent add for 50 donuts.

New event but more importantly: NEW LAND

I’m not out of land but I’m going to have to have some place to stash all those desert sculptures that give a boost.

And if you don’t have the Golden Goose Realty building, it’s a must-have for Land Tokens. Also, if you do not buy every piece of land, it’ll generate tokens forever and you can sell every 12 tokens for donuts (which I fucked up last land release and bought every land tile. Sigh)

Thanks for the heads up. I have Golden Goose Realty (now). That will come in very useful.

Look in the Premium items in The Store. If it’s not there, you undoubtedly have it.

I couldn’t find mine either. I was about to give my phone to my kid to Where’s Waldo that thing but I just happened to look in exactly the right spot. When it has generated a land token, it sits on top of the building instead of the $ or pile of cash, making it look a little different

I must have looked over it a hundred times. Here’s an easy way to find it. Mr Burns has the job “Record a rap song” attached to the building. Send him on that job and follow him to the building.

After i found mine, I put it in a square I leave mostly empty so I can find it easily the next time.

Ok, so I haven’t been able to do the trade-tokens-for-donuts thing in ages. It’s been so long that now I have forgotten and my google-fu is failing me (just finding posts about how to get it, should i get it, oh man why can’t i get it). How do I do it? Just let it make tokens every 12 hours and then when I have x amount of them… tap on the building and hit exchange? Tap somewhere else? I can’t find tokens in my inventory
