Investigator Kaine needs your help again, Bush Whackers! This time a troupe of restless ghosts are causing trouble in the castle area! In order to start this adventure you must have completed Kaine's caves mystery and reached the kitchen area of the Castle Interior zone. Once those requirements are met, you can start this new adventure by talking to the Town Crier in the Commons. Have fun!

This weekend we're also running a special Black Friday sale! Until Monday, December 1st at 11:59:59PM PST, all purchases of 50 Bush Bucks of more will award 30% more Bush Bucks for free! We're also throwing in an exclusive Black Turkey pet with your first purchase of any Bush Bucks or Premium Pet Pack (starter packs included!)

Chat about these changes here!

One of the most common requests we have from end-of-game players is a way to revisit old Flux puzzles, followed up by a way to use and recombine old Flux trinkets. With the update today, we are doing both!

As of the update today, players who have reached the current Flux will be able to teleport to previous Fluxes and get trinkets they missed or just complete different puzzles if they get tired of the latest one.

Want to get started? Talk to the "glitch" with the !!! over its head to teleport between Flux's.

Once you arrive in a prior Flux, you'll notice one major change: all the Devs in previous are ghostly and won't say anything (because we didn't keep any of their old dialog, whoops!), but you can watch the "studio " expand with new Devs, as we evolved over time.


The next major change is that instead of receiving 10,000 gold after finding all 8 Flux Trinkets for a given Flux, you will now whack up Flux Dust. Flux Dust can then be used to buy special Custom Items, a custom pet, or to upgrade a special "Super Trinket" that can only be obtained and upgraded in the Flux.


So What is the Super Trinket?

As indicated above, the Super Trinket can only be created in the Flux. This trinket can be upgraded more than 50 times - each time you upgrade it, you can modify a different stat, but each group of stats must be added before the next tier will unlock.



You will need to collect all 8 trinkets from a specific Flux, before they can be traded for Dusts (and clean up the trinket inventory).



Talk to the woman in the blue shirt and bowler hat in the Flux to access the Flux store and Super Trinket upgrades!

Thank goodness for Thanksgiving!

The residents of Bushwhackia are preparing for a massive feast, and of course they need your help!

You'll need to first and foremost help the chefs fill their food stations to the brim - and beyond. There's three of them, so you'll be collecting meat, veggies and of course deserts to feed the hungry masses of Bushwhackia!

On the subject of food - four guests have promised they'd bring food to share, but predictably they've forgotten some ingredients. (Apparently, no one bothers to make a list anymore!)

And then, there's the problem of the Turkeys. Apparently, they need to be rescued in some fashion, so you'll need to get on that.

New for 2014:
We've added two brand new quests to the event so be sure to keep an eye out for them as they will unlock over the course of the event! When they are made available, speak to the NPC standing between the food turn-in tables and Pete the Clown and he'll point you in the right directions. (He's also the one from whom you can purchase ingredient bags from!) To make room for these new quests, Bob's historical quests will now unlock sequentially all at once, in contrast to previous years when his quests unlocked over several days.

Event Achievements - POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT!!

There are a total of TEN possible Achievements to earn in the Thanksgiving 2014 event:

Once upon a time, there was a little red schoolhouse.

Then there was an evil hat.

Then, there wasn't a schoolhouse.

A community rang out with laughter, outrage and sadness.

"The citizens of Bushwhackia deserve a home for all their wandering residents!" they cried out.

Enter Larry and Ed. They have some ideas, but they need your help to achieve them.

Speak to them in the western Commons, if you have finished to 100%:
…Inspector Kaine in the Mystery of the Evil Hat
…Natalie Dragon's house.
