Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff is a freemium licensed city-building video game for Kindle, iOS, Android, Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8.1 based on the American animated series Family Guy released by Fox Digital Entertainment, Jam City and developer TinyCo. It allows users to create and run their own version of Quahog using familiar characters and buildings. It features an original story conceived by the show's writers in which Quahog has been destroyed and it is up to the player to bring it back to its former glory. Some of the series' main actors, like Seth MacFarlane (Peter, Stewie, Brian, Quagmire, Dr. Hartman, Carter Pewterschmidt, etc.), Alex Borstein (Lois), Mila Kunis (Meg), and Seth Green (Chris) collaborated with TinyCo for the project.

Story

Family Guy is cancelled again and Fox assembles citizens of Quahog to explain why. It is revealed that Ernie the Giant Chicken is responsible and Peter challenges him to a fight. The ensuing brawl quickly results in mass destruction of Quahog. As the game play begins, it is up to the player to help Peter restore Quahog and reunite him with his friends and family.[1][2][3][4]

Gameplay

Players guide the cast of Family Guy in rebuilding the town of Quahog. The game includes quests for the player to complete, such as helping Peter become a pirate, helping Glenn Quagmire find Gold Digger Island, and helping Mayor Adam West survive the town's running of the bulls. Players may purchase optional digital goods to speed up, decorate, or differentiate gameplay.[4] As players continue, their personalized Quahog grows with additional characters, places, and situations from the Family Guy universe. The game also features FaceSpace, an in-game Facebook-like social network where the game's characters can interact and post new level achievements. Players can also visit their friends’ personalized Quahogs.[3]

Production

The game was developed by TinyCo and published by Fox Digital Entertainment[5] and was released in the iOS App Store and Google Play store in most countries on April 10, 2014.[4] The game was written by the Family Guy show writers. The voices were provided by the show's voice actors. The character pages for the game's FaceSpace were all created specifically for the game with new original content related to the game's quests.[3]

Reception

Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff received generally mixed reviews from critics. Many praised its similarities to the look and video dialogue of the Family Guy show, but complained that it requires too much time to complete quests, digital goods are too expensive, and the text dialogue gets repetitive.[11][12][14] Some also pointed out the similarities between the game and The Simpsons: Tapped Out with Electronic Gaming Monthly noting, "Right from the get-go, you can tell that Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff is a carbon copy of The Simpsons: Tapped Out."[13] The game's screen design has been used as model for the fictional Terrance & Phillip freemium game criticized in South Park's episode "Freemium Isn't Free".[16]

The game generated over $100 million in revenue by October 2016.[17]
