I've had the same issue

I received one when defending one of my houses, and when I went to my inventory, it was gone.EDIT: Found it locked, located after all of the KL inventory.

To use, you tap the dice icon, then tap the house (or castle) it will auto-protect for next attack.Use same icon in neighbor/stranger town, and their building will be destroyed for max reward.

Thanks for trying though.

I successfully destroyed a neighbour's building using the red dice, so that part of the task cleared, but I have wasted 6 of the other dices trying to defend my town, but no luck with clearing the task. I have to wait to get more of them, so I will try again, and hopefully complete the task.

If its not working dont waste anymore on trying, we are hoping for a fix to be rolled out soon in relation to this issue, i have brought it to EA attention so they are aware that this part of the quest cannot be completed by some of us myself included

Well, thanks to this thread I was able to defend with my last red die, but I didn't get credit for it with the quest. :-(

What's EA's phone number? I could use 150 donuts. :lol:

I, too, have the red die glitch. Can't clear the task either from the icon or from inventory. I am a sad barbarian. :(

I successfully used the cheater20 as a defense.

I was minding my own business in my own town when I noticed a bunch of nerds running around. I tapped on the cheater 20 quest on the lower left side of my screen and a small notice came to the top of the screen that said tap anywhere on the screen to use the cheater 20. I did, was able to defend my town, and the quest went away.

Edit - had no problem using the cheater 20 to destroy a castle yesterday. So both parts of the quest are finished.

This is the right track. I also just figured it out. Basically the Cheater is used to DEFEND(and maybe repair) ALL OF YOUR BUILDINGS BEING ATTACKED AT ONCE. So if you are one of those towns that has 1000 white houses and instead of tapping each one, you simply highlight the Cheater dice, tap anywhere where there isn't a building (IE: tap on some plain grass) and it will collect EVERYTHING with that 1 tap.

This just worked for me; My castle had a blue shield on it from being invaded, I clicked the cheater 20 red dice in the upper right corner and then tapped blank ground in front of the castle with the blue shield still hovering. I received a message saying I completed the quest and the dice are gone from my task list.

I contacted EA support on this aswell, I am having the same issue. Long story short, I finally got a good answer after contacting EA help a 2nd time. The advisor told me to post this bug on the forums, and that he's letting the team know for further evaluation on fixing the issue.

Yep, I had a chat with EA support last night and the guy I spoke to ran through a checklist with me, none of it helped the task to clear, so he asked me to wait while he grabbed a a specialist who has the tools to edit the game. He handed me over to them, and they said it was an identified glitch happening to a few people, and hopefully fixed very soon. The guy was nice enough to give me 150 donuts too. Don't know if we will have to buy more dice to re-do it over again, or will the task be bumped automatically. I'm hoping it gets bumped...

I have the Red Dice glitch, and contacted EA advisor through chat:
* The advisor told me that's the first time she's heard of it
* She told me to update, then uninstall and reinstall, open again- nothing worked
* I've spent one hour waiting with the estimated time of 20 min for answer, and another half an hour with her online- for no solution and no compensation. nothing, she just said "well.. if that's everything...bye"

Is there a way to earn extra cheaters - I have just got 1 when I logged in and definitely didn't purchase it or have any left before.

My gold coins are glitching. They are not increasing when I defend a house...
