Astronaut Barney Unlock

Deep Space Homer 2016 Event is the 18th minor event and the first event of 2016. It was released on January 21, 2016 and ended on February 3, 2016.

It was re-released on September 28, 2017, as the first event of the "Classic Mini-Events" if the user hasn't completed it in time on its first release. It was activable until October 2, 2017.

A new premium costume, Astronaut Barney, was released bundled with either Barney's Bowlarama (if the player didn't already have it) or the Space Shuttle Simulator. Buying Barney's Bowlarama gave a refund (rebate) of 130 donuts for the length of the event.

Quests[]

Deepspacehomer Sidebar

The event started with the quest Mars Won while the main quest was Cheap Space Homer. Mars Won required the player to have unlocked Quimby to start. There was also a hidden side quest, DSH Easter Eggs.

Currency[]

NARA Certification Stars Indicator

The event introduced a new limited time currency, NARA Certification Stars.  There was no display for the currency, they were merely used as a quest tracker.  Opening the Cheap Space Homer quest window showed how many were needed for the current quest.  Stars carried over from the previous quest, but the counter reset each quest.

All tasks and buildings took 3 hours (except 2 Deep Space Homer actions). The following tasks generated stars (in order of task availability):
