What does this symbol mean?



The one next to praying next to ganesh? I saw a few members saying that if you play the sax with Lisa 3 times it unlocks a new quest, and the play the sax with Lisa has that same symbol?

Please help
  • That symbol just means it is a visual task and can be seen, not in a building etc.
  • Lisa playing the sax X3 quest is for unlocking King Toots:

    There is a lot of confusion about how to get Sideshow Bob. I decided to write a guide about a year ago which documents all parts of the quest line.

    I can see from your screenshot that you are level 46 - have you had any quests at all for SSB, or do you have any in your task bar? The quest line is unfortunately bugged for some players, but you can use the tip in the linked thread above if you play on an Apple device to get him.

    No, unfortunately, I haven’t got any quest for SSB. I’ve tried multiple times to go to the other Springfield and back home and back to the other Springfield, you get my point, and no luck.


    As Muhsterino said, its a bugged questline. Newer players especially seem to be having a lot of trouble with him. One of my friends has been playing for close to 3 years, has been at 939 for almost 2 years, and still hasn't had a sign of Sideshow Bob. Seeing as it is a longstanding issue, you would think it would have been fixed by now, or at least acknowledged. But thats good old EA for you...

    Oh, I thought it unlocked quests as I said. Many thanks.

    Do you know any quests I.e. play with the sax if you are Lisa? I’m primarily trying to get sideshow bob, I’ve done everything to get him, from going to the other Springfield and going back to my home/arena.

  • I have side show bob but he won’t do anything on my stage. It’s weird. Krustyland will and the Skinner Sisters. And it seems like he should. That gross old man will have his pants fall down. I don’t know.
  • Re: running symbol-back to that-if I was a developer I would have them do more crazy stuff always outside and never in a building. Climbing on roofs-tight rope walking-like anything crazy. I love seeing the “lance” evil knevil guy about to perform-so perform-do a wheelie! Come on!!

    There are many stages in the game, each has different tasks for several characters.
