Halloween is right around the corner near the end of this month and The Simpsons: Tapped Out has just made an exclusive update for this specific event.

We’re pretty excited to see brand new content added into the Simpsons: Tapped Out and players will definitely not be disappointed with this brand new update. Perhaps the biggest change you’ll notice for the game is that the splash screen has changed completely to fit the spooky and scary theme of Halloween.

The juice of this update is that there are limited time characters, buildings and quests. You’ll also have new characters like Edna and Otto Mann (premium character).

A note on the previous character Nelson, is that the cost for building the Muntz House been lowered (thank heavens).

Notes on the Halloween Stuff in The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Our game hasn’t shown how to get the new features specified in the update notes yet (Oct. 2rd 2012, 6PM EST). We’ll update as soon as they stream the update worldwide.

The content is probably locked until a certain time or. We’re not happy about downloading 127MB of data for this game. Definitely not bandwidth friendly for mobile wireless users

UPDATE:

That was quick. Just 30 minutes after the update, it seems many of the Halloween items have been unlocked in your game! Including a mini game! Check them out in your game!

Update:

You need to ensure Homer is free and has a bubble for the Quest. He will say “Halloween is coming! Let’s crank up the “spooky” factor around here by building the Springfield Cemetery!”

There is also a hidden message for players watching The Simpsons below to getting some really secret exclusive stuff.

“And don’t forget to watch Treehouse of Horrors XXIII to find a clue to unlocking a new outfit for Homer and 10 free donuts.”
