Fours all Around! New Skyscraper Floor! 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.


It's time to break out the scaffolding again! Get ready to expand the Skyscraper!

Larry is ready for your help expanding the Commons Skyscraper with a fourth floor! This time it's an empty office space! Once it's built, help the Realtor examine some candidates to lease it! You must have finished the previous building quests for the skyscraper in order to pick up this quest. Talk to Larry by the Skyscraper entrance to get started (not the Town Crier!).

Once you've found the perfect fit, check back in a month or two for some fun!

Chat about it on the forums!

Doggie Days are Here Again! 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

So Long Summertime...

The residents of the Commons want to close out summer with a blast! That big old event field wasn't being used for anything anyways. Help them build a temporary pool to chill out beside. Once you've completed all three building quests, the residents will come in and there will be 3 turn-in stations where you can bring Towels, Sunscreen and Life Rings to get event tokens for buying this year's custom items!

Plus, foster an adorable puppy for Nate. It seems he's ordered too many dogs (again!!) and needs your help to look after them temporarily. Once you equip your dog, he has some daily quests for you to do to keep the ball of energy occupied. Love the look of the dog? Permanently adopt it when it goes on sale!

Event Achievements - POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT!!!

There are NINE possible Achievements in the Dog Days of Summer 2015 event:

  • Dog Days Outlet - Buy all the custom items for 2014.

Bushwhackia Wants You! 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.


Hail Whackers!

It's Election time in the Commons!

If you've built Natalie's House and participated in Sasha's House party, talk to the Town Crier to initiate the questline! It seems you've been nominated as a candidate for mayor! Campaign your heart out to residents of the Commons in order to compete with your fellow nominees! Will your Bush Whacker survive the drama and come out on top? Whack bushes and find out!

If you win the election, you'll unlock a new set of daily quests from the Town Hall. These quests will run exclusively to the General Store ones, just like the Skyscraper/Inn daily quests.

Time To Get Taller 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.


Good things come in threes! Get your hardhat and construction vest on! It's building time!

Ed and Larry are ready for your help expanding the Commons Skyscraper with a third floor! This time it's Codename Entertainment's office annex! Yup, in case you've never been to the Flux and want to see how Justin imagines the CNE offices should be, now you can*! (*If you have finished the previous building quests for the skyscraper.)

Once it gets taller, each of the CNE staff will have a quest for you to do, because it's no good opening an office without things to decorate it! Once you help everyone out there'll be rewards aplenty!

Talk about the new heights on the forum!

Food, Family and...helping to save the Turkeys? 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

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:

Achievements Returning in 2014:
Special Order - You helped all of the people prepare their special dishes.
Master of the Ways - You have helped cook each dish excellently for the pristine table.
Short Order Cook - You've helped prepare one of each dish.
Turkey Lover - You saved enough turkeys to guarantee survival. This year.
Historical Detective - You helped Bob the Historian investigate the Pilgrims.

Added/Changed for 2014:
Family Matters - You brought all of Brock's family together for Thanksgiving.
Black Friday - You bought all the 2014 Thanksgiving items.*

We have 3 achievements from previous year's events, which may be earned by spending some Bush Bucks if a player was not present during the original years:

Thankful Dresser - You bought all the player items from the 2012 Thanksgiving Event.
Thankful Shopper - You bought all the 2013 Turkey Day items.

* The Thanksgiving Mini Golf piece is NOT included in the Black Friday achievement, and therefore it is not required to purchase it.

Roboturkey - Increases your chance to win puzzle pieces by up to 15%
Hedgehog - Increases your chance to win quest items by up to 15% Thanksgiving Goose - Turns up to 25% of your Nothing wins into Mana!

Reach for the Sky, Scraper! 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

Meet Larry. He's the Commons' Construction Foreman. Meet Ed. He's the Commons' Building Manager. It's time to reach for the skies and provide multiple purposes to the unsightly space in the Commons!


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.

Train the next generation of Whackers Today! 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

Welcome to the most educational Event you'll ever see in Bush Whacker 2!

Help three aspiring young gals and guys learn the ropes over the course of the event by helping them learn how to whack bushes, mana whack, and power whack! Bring the Jr. Whackers cardboard swords found in bushes throughout the world, and they'll share the spoils of their training with you. As you help them, they gain experience, "levelling up" and will award more items with each turn-in*. Each of the determined young padawans will have a daily quest after they unlock, which will double their drops for the next turn-in.

Several ambitious wannabes have returned for another year of training, and the most enthusiastic of them has a series of quests which will unlock over the course of the event.

*This event does *not* contain a "turn-in all" option, due to the nature of the turn-in activity itself. Sorry!


We have added two new quests for this year, so make sure you keep an eye out for them!

Dog Days Of Summer 2014 Event is now Live! 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

It's time for the last hurrah of summer, so relax poolside (you just have to build it first!) and experience the joy of fostering an adorable puppy!

Once the pool is built, there are three turn-in stations and new quest lines have been added to the event this year to keep things fresh and interesting. Make sure you have reached the Commons via the Mysterious Forest so you can take part in all the new questy goodness!

Let's break this event down:

Who Let The Dogs Out?

You can get started right away on the Dog part of the event, just speak to Nate and give a home to one of the 'surplus' puppies Nate managed to order for himself. These puppies can be adopted permanently at the end of the event (please see your platform for the appropriate cost/tax). Once you've adopted your chosen pup, Nate will give you the first of six daily quests (which repeat if you miss them!) and get you on your way to raising a proper pet!

Ain't No Party Like A Poolside Party!

Talk to the Pool Builder to get started on building a pool in the event area, as that will allow the rest of the event to unlock. She'll have you go through three quests of finding pool parts, and once the pool is totally finished, residents will filter in to take up their appropriate spots. We've added three new quest lines, which will unlock over the course of the first ten days of the event.

Keep your eye on the Bush Whacker Facebook Page and the Codename Entertainment Twitter for updates as quests and activities unlock!
