Will there be enough Treats to buy everything?

Best strategy is get 100 friends and visit them looking for their cemeteries, mausoleums, houses of evil, etc. This yields treats or eggs/tp about 80% of the time. Should be able to have treats to spare.

I have built the House of Evil, and my Bad Dream House is in progress (so already paid for). I have not yet purchased the Burns Monster or the Heck House (each 300 treats). I currently have 127 treats. When I started the Bad Dream House this morning, it left me with just a few treats left (around 14, I think?). It's been around 8 hours and I've picked up over 100 treats. Admittedly, that was waking hours, but still... Even if that's just 150 treats a day, it should be 4 days for both of the remaining things I can purchase with treats. I have not spent any donuts on the Halloween stuff, so do not have the mausoleum, nor the ray gun.

As joeyransdell suggested, visit other springfields. You can get treats and TP/eggs (which can lead to more treats) from their cemeteries, etc. You also get treats if their House of Evil is ready and you touch it. I don't *think* this should prevent them from getting treats from it (please someone tell me if I'm wrong). As a result, visiting people who have also advanced in the Halloween quests, but haven't been to their Springfield for a while, seems to be the most productive, treat-wise.

There should be enough as long as you dont start late in the month this thing ends 31'*.. my guess the next update


960 Donuts i believe to get what you need

anyway

Here have a drink

The only thing I haven't bough yet with treats is the Burns Monster. It took 9 days to get 450+ treats to build the others. It can be done.

the more friends you have with graveyards or TP.. the faster you can get your Treats

You can also buy treats with donuts, two donuts = 1 treat

2 donuts to gamble on the Halloween Burns Mystery Box will yield treats, TP, or eggs. You cannot choose which. You should receive 4--10 of any of those items for each 2-donut purchase. Again, the amount you receive is random, but I have never received fewer than 4 of any item (so far, at least).

^^ Heh. They should have a post-Halloween "trade your treats for money at the dentist" thing. Small amounts of money, of course, and we'd need to build the dentist...

I made 4 secondary accounts (I'm not obsessive enough to actually continue playing these spare games, but they did really help me get extra Halloween treats). I just bought the last Halloween item this morning (Burns monster) without having spent any real money throughout the event.

It takes about 30 minutes to have a secondary account up and running (as you need to go through the tutorial and Mayan artifact set-up). Not only do you get the tutorial/beginner donuts, but you also get the bonus 10 for answering the riddle from the Mayan dude. Squish your zombies, and you have tp and eggs to throw at your main game after you friend yourself. But the big bonus comes in using those beginner donuts. Spend them all on the Halloween Mystery boxes to get a ton more tp and eggs. At the end of that half-hour it took you to set this all up, you should have 80--100 tp and eggs. With them, ransack your main game. As only 1 every 4--5 will yield a treat on your main game, when you go to clean up your Springfield, you should expect to acquire 20--30 treats.

So that's 20 treats for spending 30 minutes. Create 4 secondary games, it'll take you 2 hours to get 80 treats, guaranteed. Not bad. You can make more even, if you want, but I stopped at 4. I haven't deleted my secondary games yet, but I plan to, as getting notifications from all of them on the same device is annoying.

And like the others said, don't forget to collect from your friends' cemeteries and other treat-giving buildings. A good time-saving tip: When you get to the town-scrolling screen, instead of visiting your friends alphabetically, select the little orange Origin icon at the bottom left. Go to the "My Friends" tab to bring up your list. It shows you the times that each last logged in. Visit the friends who haven't logged in for 10 hours first, as their graveyards are ready. And remember, even if they only have one graveyard, you can collect three times. Just collect the treat, exit the town, then immediately return. It'll be refreshed.

You have more than two weeks still, so don't worry; there's more than enough time. :)

As a note, some consider additional accounts to be "cheating". I'm not trying to accuse you of anything dishonest, JuliusGulius - you put in the time and got things for it. But at some point EA or Origin may decide they care. Be aware of that before choosing to use this process. :)

Thanks for the heads-up, equiraptor, but I highly doubt it. I've played many similar games before, and not only have I never seen the act of creating multiple accounts for the benefit of one account discouraged, but I've actually seen it be suggested in passing by game representatives on respective official pages. There's nothing overly sneaky about it. Cheating would be using a jailbroken device to acquire a ton of free donuts to purchase a bunch of expensive items. I have a friend who once used her "code" from a "fixed" phone on my own account as such (I'm not going to name the game, but it wasn't this one), and she landed me about $1000 worth of game currency. For five minutes, it was like Christmas. Then, the guilt set in. It ruined the whole game for me; I'd been playing for 6 months but ended up abandoning it, as all the fun had been sucked right on out. The same friend would score loads of donuts for me in a heartbeat on this game if I asked, but that, I would never do. I feel completely comfortable with creating secondary accounts though, as I really don't feel that it's cheating. And I've spent $15 over the past two months total, so EA has definitely benefited from having me as a player. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. :)
