How to find Maggie - Video

I've got ten house blocks (or farms, if you prefer) of at least six houses in each. I started the Maggie thing on day 1 and out of 16 attempts thus far, I've only NOT found her 1 time. That was because I forgot about a house farm in the Heights. Every time, she has appeared in a house farm, making it fairly easy to find her. I get 1:48 to search. Level 59+.

My better half has no house farms, lots of property and almost all premium buildings. She rarely is able to catch Maggie because it takes her so long to search such a vast area. I suggested moving some houses closer together which she has not chosen to do.

Reliable strategy? Maybe, but it seems to be connected to the size and configuration of your own layout. Good luck.

I've gotten very good at finding her. Another trick is don't panic and yes, I found her on a doorstep too once. Listen for the sound then slowly move around that area till it gets real loud then look very very hard. Tap building, find maggie.

Her sound has stopped working for me. there is no sucking noise, nothing, three times in a row now. You can't find her when there's no sound. Yes I checked my settings and I have the volume cranked. This is just since the space update otherwise the game was working flawlessly for me.

I dont think it's that you're actually tapping the "wrong" building so much as that taps need to be on the base of buildings, rather than the roof. When they're that close together, the base of the one Maggie is on looks like the roof of the one below it.

No, I was definitely tapping the wrong building. I always think the garage is on the right side of the building instead of the left so in the video clip I was tapping on the building next to the building she was actually on.

I made a better video today (I think - at least it's shorter) but I haven't had a chance to review or upload it yet.
