Plot

How the Test Was Won - Marge kissing Lindsey The contents of this article or section are/can be considered non-canon, and exist outside of the main continuity of The Simpsons.

While working at the power plant, Homer plays a game on his MyPad called The Happy Little Elves Game, which is similar to Tapped Out but with the Happy Little Elves. The game distracts him, causing a nuclear meltdown that blows up Springfield. The object of the game is to rebuild, decorate and find the citizens of Springfield.

The game starts with Homer Simpson playing a farm game on his myPad and spends $1000 on berries. Meanwhile, there are red lights flashing, but Homer doesn't notice. Then, in the background, there is a fire. Eventually, he looks up from his myPad and says "Uh oh." just before Springfield explodes. Then, Homer wakes up to find Springfield completely empty. He then builds the Simpsons' house, which makes Lisa Simpson appear. They then have a conversation about what happened. Professor Frink appears and tells Homer and Lisa that the explosion made inter-dimensional traveling to other Springfields possible. Then, Homer and Lisa return to normal Springfield and start to clean things up. Homer thinks that since sometimes people appear when he makes buildings, that if he keeps making them, everyone will return to Springfield, thus setting the goal to make houses and unlock more characters for your Springfield.
