Quite possibly this has been said already but with all the threads on schematics I couldn't find it. When playing the drone game there appears to be more than one type of spy to find. One is the glowing green guys but there are also faint little green squares that seem to indicate someone hiding. For the first time I got over 30 schematics from completing the drone game by being on the lookout for the squares.

Another tip in case anyone missed it - you don't have to tap just inside the viewfinder, you can tap anywhere on the screen and you get credit for the spy.

I heard that tip but are we sure? Because my result can say I tapped 14 super agents or tapped none but I still only get a handful, like 5 or so.

What I've noticed so far:I have mine (drone-game) in a very "busy" part of my town, it's hard to locate all the soldiers that are hidden behind buildings, I've seen little reticles (cross-hairs) that will pop up when they are there but not visible.- I've dragged it to a part that was empty, and done the mini-game with much better results.

I did that too but didn't get any more super agents than expected. I wondered if they hid in buildings.

I tried this, it worked. Many more tapped.

This is crashing an awful lot for me & unlike the Homer chilli and find Maggie games you don't get a retry 5 minutes later. Unsure whether or not it accumulates any rewards before crashing... :(

When the game starts I just begin wildly tapping all over the screen as fast as I can (using a stylus). I'm getting a fairly good return - much better than just trying to tap the ones I see.

Ok, I was just doing it again and I had a thought... I started tapping all over the screen with all 8 fingers and got the most I've gotten yet.

THIS is what i'm doing. Tapping with like 8 fingers is giving me average 28-30 + 5-10 of the rarer guy.

My building is surrounded by a moderate amount of trees. I now notice the guys like coming out from behind trees, so it seems to be helping to concentrate them and make them easier to tap. I haven't had to search around my whole town at all; they are definitely congregating around the building.

Yeah I have this problem too, it's crashed 3 times on me so far and I got no rewards for the few agents I did tap before it crashed.

Yes indeed.....using ALL your fingers to tap is the way to max out the results. I've netted more than 35 on several occasions. Using a stylus does NOT get it done.

Hmm ... I have a green area. Will move it there and tap with 8 fingers. At this point the most I've gotten was eight schematics. The average I'm getting is just 4-5.
