Pt. 1[edit]

The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 4 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Krusty's exclamation mark Krusty, could your burger joints help us create a Japanese atmosphere by serving sushi? Are you kidding? Raw fish stored next to a deep fryer and sliced up by an untrained teen? Eh, why not? Can't be any less dangerous than my "Salmonella Chicken Sandwich".

Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark One of the things about Japan is that there are vending machines everywhere. Maybe we should add a few to make our JapanWorld more authentic.

Pt. 5[edit]

After tapping on Ned's exclamation mark Ned Flanders, there's a kind of person in Japan who is renowned for being entertaining, friendly, and hospitable. You're talking about geisha aren't you? Yes, and you seem like you have the best personality to be one for our tourist friends. Well, okay. Can I keep my moustache? As long as you wear the kimono. Task: "Make Flanders Pose as a Geisha". The job takes place at a Krusty Burger and takes 4 hours. Being a geisha is exhausting. I've received so many indecent proposals. And a couple mighty decent ones. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 6[edit]

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark One thing we need to do to make our JapanWorld really seem like Japan is keep it spotlessly clean.

Pt. 8[edit]

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark Tourists are loving our pretend Japan. They're even absorbing the Zen principles of quiet meditation. You mean the Zen principles of final disaster!
