Family Guy The Quest for Stuff Reviews

by Sweeettat

✨UPDATE✨Friday, October 18th, 2019; 9:48pm
~Game keeps crashing now. every time I open the game and after only a few seconds, my game is now crashing/kicking me out. This glitch literally just started today because it’s been completely fine up until about late YESTERDAY(Thursday, October 17th, 2019)

Huge fan of the show and an even bigger fan of this game for at least the 5 years it has been around! I’ve had connection problems before and quite awhile back and it has ran smoothly for the majority of the time that I’ve been playing! But now more and more recently, that “lousy no good for nuttin’” Consuela (lol) keeps popping up after a minute or so of playing and loses connection? Not sure what exactly the problem could be and I’m thinking it may be a number of things. First, I had to get a new WiFi signal about a week and a half ago because I had to get rid of the previous signal which was a very strong one. The signal I managed to get now isn’t THAT good but it’s still pretty good! I can conclude that because it runs swell and great on my other games I play on a daily basis. Family Guy: The Quest For Stuff is the only game that keeps losing connection and every time I end up having to close completely out and then when I go back in, I have to complete all of the taps and tasks again that I done and completed right before losing connection. Any advice would be appreciated so much!?

The events in this game are completely ridiculous. First, they are back-to-back constantly. You never get a break. And it’s literally impossible to complete any event without spending money. They give you a mere week to unlock characters and/or outfits, it takes characters hours to perform actions and even then it’s not a guarantee that you’ll get the item you need. They also love to sell “mystery boxes”, which are misleading. You think you are getting a rare character but you actually have to hit several buttons to see everything in the box. (Of course you’ll get the worst thing in the box) I wasted over 1,000 clams because of this and they refused to make it right. And if all of this wasn’t bad enough, they partner with the worst ad company out there, SuperSonic. You do tons of things/spend a lot of time doing actions to get free clams and you don’t get them. You send proof of offer completion and they still refuse you. This game is not worth playing unless you have a lot of expendable income and want to throw it away on virtual characters/outfits.

Honestly I downloaded FamilyGuyTheQuest and I’m going to uninstall before I even start. Creators need to pay more attention because the reviews alone say it all but no one is listening. “Just another money hungry game.” “I’ve invested so much time into the game and I’m about to call it quits.” “Poor customer service.” “Game turned into a money grubbing pit of despair.” “Had to open a ticket multiple times because they closed it and it was still unresolved.” “Game keeps crashing.” “Events are impossible to complete.” Like my god I’ve never seen so many 1 star reviews with tittles that literally read “Don’t waste your time”. I’m so tired of game makers never paying attention. And if your not willing to pay attention to players who have invested so much time into you then your not worth my time to begin with. Shame. I expected more out of a big name like Family Guy. I guess companies really don’t care about their players anymore as long as they get paid to screw us over.

Update-APP HAS NO SUPPORT. Game won't load past the loading screen so can't use "in game" support. The website won't send emails to developers/support.

FamilyGuyTheQuest will cost you $100 a month if you want to keep up with the special events and characters(possibly much more). They even have quests to spend real money for ingame coins and clams. You will have tons of coins and nothing to spend them on but you will need clams, the premium currency. Everything that needs clams is extremely over priced. You will spend 1k coins to get a character(unlock for the potential tohave an a character) then either shell out 500+ clams ($20=600 clams) to unlock them for questing or spend weeks gathering stuff from other characters to unlock them. Some characters are on timers and mostly impossible to get without clams, others are part of events with horrible drop rates for the items to unlock them so you need clams to unlock them before the event ends or you loose the character and the stuff you had gathered. Simpsons tapped out is way better.

I spend a lot of time on this game and it’s already hard to complete quests without spending real money (which I would do but it’s really expensive!!) but recently it’s been even harder... example, I just reached the 60’s after finishing the 50’s which is part of the same quest... I spent a lot of freaking (I’d like to be saying other words but I’m keeping it pg) time shooting down rockets for the money for the 50’s and now that I move on, it says I can still shoot rockets for the 60’s money that I need, but didn’t transfer over all the money that I made before??? That was such a huge waste of my time with absolutely no benefit at all! What was the point of having me do that for hours upon hours?? I had over 150 of these freaking dollars! 3 hours for one baseball, sometimes 2 but usually not, then clearing 1 monster per ball and you need at least 2 to make a rocket, which takes another 2 hours, to only wait even longer for multiple rockets to line up and don’t even try for 5 bc the most it will count is 4, it’s got me so mad!

My title says it all because since they have released the multiverse downdate (I refuse to call it an update when the quality didn’t go up) all you get now is fluff. I am a LONGTIME player of this game and loved it until the last downdate. I have found so many bugs (watched ads that didn’t give you clams, typos for actions ((Ex: if an action is 10 hours long the reward was only $5 with 1 XP)), missing actions for new characters ((Fairy Tale Lois had no actions at all when she rolled out)), and finally some the Quakea characters actions are loaded to take literally 12-16 HOURS to complete! I have been awarded some clams for reporting these bugs but this last downdate has just done it for me! The programmers with the latest version have no concern at all because they don’t seem to care that there has to be typos for actions to last that long. At this point the 3 blind mice could help them out so much. I will not touch on the crashes now, let’s just say car crash accidents have better results than the crashes this game has.

by Tampa-Jay

This game was somewhat fun to casually play every now and then, but over the last year the game has more or less become redundant with no expansion to the main story line and instead focusing on “Events” that are impossible to complete unless you want to spend a fortune to buy “Clams” to buy the necessary items... You could literally play 24/7 and not complete the “Event” without spending money on clams; and I’m not talking about a $1 or $2 here and there
My biggest issue with the game lately is that I can’t even load it... It crashes every time I go to launch it on both my iPad and my iPhone, both of which are running iOS 12.1.1 (the latest iOS release as if this review)
Needless to say I wouldn’t bother investing time, or money, on this game until they focus on the main story line and less on the “Events” that are impossible to complete... Also, they need to release a stable update that loads much faster; when it’s not crashing constantly the time it takes to load is by far the longest load time I have ever experienced on with any app

This game was awesome when it first came out. Now it is nothing more then a blatant cash grab. The characters take weeks to get, if you even get them, and they are completely useless after you level them up. You just store them in a building just like you have to store 75% of your buildings in storage because there is no room. The last few events have been extremely boring and unrewarding. It’s all about making money. Customer satisfaction is non existent. I recommend The Simpsons Tapped Out.. it’s easy to get the characters in the events and you have plenty of room to have every single building you get displayed. It’s funny how they have a 4 star rating but almost every review is a one star. I guess when you rip off millions of people you have plenty of money to but your ratings from the Apple Store. Also... most of the positive reviews are from the developers or people who are paid to leave positive reviews. TinyCo is pure greed! Don’t download.. you will eventually be disappointed with every single money hungry event.

My boyfriend and I have played this game on and off for several years. It is not something that I would normally play but is intriguing. You get really excited to unlock new character. We usually get pretty competitive for who can unlock a character or a building first. As of lately we both have completed other game offers for clams and have not been awarded after. I made a complain to their representatives who are usually great in getting those clams back. Not anymore. I have been emailing for over a month for a particularly high amount of clams and getting nowhere. I forwarded my proof and screenshots with the date from my email because my images were “too large”. After going back and forth for a month, I was most recently told that since it has been over a month that there is nothing they can do and my ticket will be closed. HOW?! I have still not received a response to me asking to speak to someone else. Now I have to decide to quit playing a game I’ve had for years or deal with this rude behavior. Mark from ironSource, you do not need to work in customer service. I hope you find your place in life, bud.

I enjoy this show and really thought FamilyGuyTheQuest would be fun too! Only problem for me is FamilyGuyTheQuest freezes a lot then takes forever to load. If that is difficult, when i try to take advantage of the clam offers which clams are needed for the game play to get most characters before the trial runs out, and there is no way to earn clams other than buying them, doing something to earn them, or watching adds. Well this will be the third time now that the clams i either bought, watched video for, or downloaded a different app and then met the requirements for earning the clams, and then did not receive my clams. One time paying 9.99, another having to spend 30 minuets on another app and the last time having to download then upgrade things in FamilyGuyTheQuest for a supposed 2x normal amount of clams 82 clams. Spent 2 hours of time doing so and did not receive the clams. I would not recommend FamilyGuyTheQuest for its crashing and slow to load issues and the time and moneyspent earning clams and the clams never showing up. And no one being willing to fix the issue of reversing the charges or adding the clams to your game.

Look, I get it, an app gets more players, outgrows servers, quality control isn’t quite the same, etc. However, I have been playing the game for 4 years now and am extremely close to calling it hits due to the lack of customer service and having a ticket “closed” 3 times due to them having a high volume of tickets Nd to reopen the ticket over and over of its still not resolved. I know how the queue process works and how you are graded on length of time to find a resolution. What I do not appreciate is the same generic response 3 times, put SOME effort into caring and maybe the quality of the game wouldn’t suffer. With the (now) current event with the briand-dead ox, the character is bought via a mystery box but yet the character skin isn’t even loaded as playable. Again, goes back to quality control and caring enough about your product. Now don’t get me wrong, I do appreciate the different events as it keeps the game fresh BUT this cannot come at the expense of actually being able to play the game or given items you have paid for. I don’t want to say corporate greed has kicked in but if the shoe fits....

The game has been turned into a money grubbing pit of despair. Many of us that are still playing do so out of the fact that we have invested too much time into it. 5 years this game has come out. Tiny Co was good. They played us with the events and it’s mild difficulty in order to run a business. In return we played them with our tactics of building mazes and gaming the mechanics to more efficiently collect characters. This was the balance we accepted. They even owned up when issues happened and extended events for us. The company was good.

Then the acquisition happened. Jam City bought Tiny Co and liquidated everything that’s not profitable. At first it didn’t feel different. Maybe the game seemed like Tiny Co was resting new more challenging mechanics, but then the events got more ridiculous. Tasks and items which were multicharacters was dwindled down to 2 or even ONE person like the TV even right now. What used to be events that players can play all 4weeks of has blockaded the weekly challenges and halted the events in its 2nd week.

All these changes was made after the acquisition. It may say Tiny Co, but it’s just a corpse puppet strung up buy Jam City.

As with any game this one went from fun collecting many characters to money hungry. I’ve been playing since it’s release and would have no problem gathering everything I needed in the allotted time to get the characters. Now I’m lucky to get off week two or three of an event. It seems the only way to complete an event is if you use money either purchasing a character or by purchasing extra items. We also have the fun of crashing. One of my friends who plays on an older apple device can be just sitting on the game and it will crash undoing everything she did after many complaints and being told to turn off the device then uninstall the game and reinstall it well I’m sad to see it go I know it takes money to keep games like these going but making the quests harder almost forcing us to purchase extras or purchasing characters to complete quests is a little over the top. As for now me and two other people are saying good bye maybe one day if you decide to go back to old way to complete events making them normal instead of insanely hard with out cash we will once again play the game but as it sits now no thank you. Thank you for the fun up until now bye.

UPDATE 7/27 - Some of the items are missing from the main “shop.” That, and the constant crashing every minute or so. I really have to finish what I’m doing before it crashes because if it crashes while I’m in the middle of something, I would lose any progress I’ve made. If you could fix the bugs it would be great.

UPDATE: The game has been crashing at startup every time I try to open it. I have deleted the game from my phone and will download again at a later date. Please fix this issue because I really like the game.

Loving this game...although it has gotten kinda expensive the last few months. Seems like you have to buy clams if you want to get the good items. The clam packages aren't really that expensive if you just buy them one time...but over time, they can really do some damage to your bank account. I think it would be good for everyone if there are some good items that do not cost clams and are reasonably priced. Other then that, it's a pretty good game!

I really enjoy the game but when they do the events it takes too long to get the actions completed to get the items to get the character or buildings. Then when you do get a building that is suppose to drop things for the character or building most of the time it takes 2 or 3 harvesting a of that building to get anything from it. Then when they want you to purchase something it is normally 250 clams which most of time you can’t earn them in a timely manner without purchasing with real money. I have purchased clams before but still seems that the characters don’t always drop stuff or it takes 12 hours or so get get the action done to get the item. I have done the quest to get clams from the offers as well and have yet to get about 500 clams from doing the events. Then they have one character that does the action to get an item yet they want like 50 of that item. They use a lot of the characters that you earn to do more activities more then once.

I used to really enjoy this game but now I dread playing. I don’t want to stop playing after putting so much more time and money into this game. Even tho I had previously deleted the game for about a year. I, at first had no hesitations coming back to the game. The game has now only been focusing on the main characters and that makes doing this quests/events take waaayyy longer. Bc now You have 1 character doing an action for 3-4 hours only to get 1 item (which he may not get bc it’s uncommon). But you need 2 of those 1 item that you’ve just gotten to do the next action, but wait, now you have to get all this in a week. In order to stay on track with getting the weekly rewards. Then there’s the character that is unknown until you click to unlock them, you have only a week to get this person. you have to 1 character and a building that can get you items to unlock the character. But that building you need to gain items to unlock for that character isn’t attainable until the 5th buildings you can win. Also you have to get 56 items with only that 1 character doing an 3/4 hour action. It’s just all too much. Instead of being a game to enjoy, I’m leaving FamilyGuyTheQuest everyday feeling like this is homework. Gotta be precise with timing. I hope they work on this bc it’s rally annoying.

I love Family Guy! It is actually one of my favorite shows on Adult Swim. The graphics were really well done. I personally thought I was in Quahog. The characters were great, and the voices were the ones from the show. So thank you for taking the time to create something genuine. It’s a good app especially if you are bored and have nothing to do.

My only complaint would be constantly trying to get you to connect to Facebook. I am personally on Facebook strike, not to say that I don’t have a Facebook I just refuse to use it. So I ultimately deleted FamilyGuyTheQuest , I don’t want to have a million apps on my phone (slight exaggeration for emphasis). With the constant Facebook harassment it just wasn’t worth it. Also just a suggestion, try adding more strategy to the game. It’s not like it took any skill to play. Just a tap app. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely yours

Just updated my game on my first green ipad pro 12.9. Now every time I load the game it tells me to upgrade, which I already have. Tried twice and it wouldn't load. Shut spec my ipad and restarted, but the same time happens. I love this game and I've been playing for as long as it's been out. But I do have to say that some of these events are completely dumb, most of the week long ones are the dumbest. What I would like to see is events where I can use characters that I've had for forever and now just sit constantly at the Resort and I do nothing with them. I have about 100 characters right now and with each event I get more and more but really only have the core people that are payable in each event.

by MsEarsery

The prices aren’t worth the amount you get in return which makes me not want to buy anything and I am willing to buy stuff on the game but I am not spending a hundred real money for only 100,000 coins on fake money it should be 100 dollars for 1 millions coins on the game. Since the events are time it would be better if all the characters you need to earn comes at the beginning of the event instead of waiting until you have two days left and really don’t have a chance without spending money. I would like more characters to actually have something to instead them only looking for gold or when it’s a daily quest. It be easier to earn more characters during events if more characters has something to do to help earn items needed. Please take the time to read, respond, and fix. I have been playing this game for YEARS !

1-Facebook is not required to play. (Yippie!)
2-No intrusive ads. You choose if you want them and you WILL want at least 5 a day because of valuable clam rewards.
3-Helpful, timely, responsive customer support. I have had 3 problems since downloading and each was responded to within 24hrs. Fixed within time frame given. And oh so polite about it.
4-I play with low graphics setting (which still looks great) and have never had a loading nor crashing problem in 2mo. since install.
5-Originally had game years ago and deleted because after working so hard for characters, they were useless to advancing.
NOW they have added a building we’re you can make them “go for the gold” to earn medals that can be traded for characters normally bought with clams. Earn a character during events (usually 2 or 3 if not spending real money) and you get a trophy which equals 1,000 medals. In 2mo. of play I have earned of 40 characters and keep them working to earn more.
6-Events (again, only with FREE play) yield me 3-5 new money making buildings even after the event is over. This makes it easier to buy/unlock more land.
Summary: They have so upped their game since I last played. Now it is fun to play everyday even if an event is not going on.
Rewards are much more generous than they were years ago.
Support team has earned my trust should I decide to make purchases in the future because, if they helped me for free, then I feel they’d help me if a purchase error occurred.
