Hidden gags are scattered around Springfield Island in the Fortnite Simpsons mini season, and they’re essentially exactly what they sound like — little easter eggs for Simpsons fans to find.
As part of a milestone quest, you’ll need to find and complete all 12 hidden gags, but none of the gags will be marked on the map. Rather than wander around the entire island, we’ve put together a list of all of the hidden gags and where you need to go to complete them.
Here’s where to find the hidden gags in the Fortnite Simpsons mini season and how to complete them.
All hidden gag locations in the Fortnite Simpsons mini season
There are 12 hidden gags for you to find across Springfield Island in Fortnite. Some of the hidden gags can be completed in multiple locations, while others have a specific location for you to go to.
Below, we’ve listed where to find all 12 hidden gags in no particular order. For those that have multiple locations, we’ve listed some of the best locations to complete the hidden gag.
Release the Hounds (Springfield Nuclear Power Plant)
To complete “Release the Hounds,” you’ll need to head to Mr. Burns’ office, which is located on the fourth floor of the southern building at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Interact with the red button on the desk to release the hounds and finish the gag.
Sit on the Simpsons’ Couch (Evergreen Terrace)
The Simpsons’ couch is, of course, located inside the Simpsons’ home in Evergreen Terrace. When looking at Evergreen Terrace on the map, you’ll notice a group of six houses surrounded by roads on all sides and the houses are split into two columns and three rows. The Simpsons’ home has a brown roof and it’s in the second column and second row.
To complete the gag, all you’ll need to do is sit on the couch, but, at the time of this writing, the couch has been disabled due to a bug that made players invulnerable. As a result, the quest cannot be completed, but we will update this post when the bug has been fixed.
Gather a Steamed Ham (Evergreen Terrace)
Steamed hams, which look an awful lot like hamburgers, can be commonly found in kitchens and dining rooms in homes in Evergreen Terrace. Two specific locations where we’ve commonly found the platter are the Simpsons’ dining room and Ned Flanders’ kitchen.
Once you find a tray, make sure to “take a steamed ham to go” to complete the gag.
Find Mr. Sparkle (South of Evergreen Terrace)
Head to the Springfield Tire Yard, which is south of Evergreen Terrace and indicated on the map by black smoke. In the southwestern corner of fenced tires, you’ll find a pile of dirt that you can dig up. After you interact with it, you’ll find the dishwashing detergent and finish the gag.
Jump the Springfield Gorge (East of Evergreen Terrace)
To the east of Evergreen Terrace, you’ll find a ramp that lets you jump over the gorge. There is a chance that a car spawns at the top of the ramp, but we recommend finding a car in one of the nearby areas and driving it to the top. All you’ll need to do is drive off of the ramp to finish the gag, but, if you want to really jump the Springfield Gorge, make sure to use your boost as you’re going down the ramp to get some air.
Knock the Jebediah Springfield Statue’s Head Off (Springfield Town Square)
Make your way over to the Springfield Town Square, where you’ll find a statue of Jebediah Springfield at its center. To complete this hidden gag, all you’ll need to do is hit the statue with your pickaxe or weapon. However, this gag can only be done once a game, so you may want to land here and hit it before anyone else does.
Prank call Moe (Springfield Town Square or Springfield Nuclear Power Plant)
To prank call Moe, you’ll need to find a working telephone. If you had to think of a phone from The Simpsons, it would probably be the one inside Moe’s bar, which is located on the southern side of Springfield Town Square. Head inside the bar and interact with the phone to complete the hidden gag.
If you see a lot of people dropping at Springfield Town Square, you can avoid the crowd and head to the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, where you’ll find a payphone along the southern purple building. Interacting with this payphone will also complete the hidden gag.
Step on a rake (Burns Manor garden)
East of Burns Manor, you’ll find a large garden full of Burns statues, fountains, and hedges. South of the garden, you’ll find a building that is full of rakes. This hidden gag tends to be a bit buggy as you might not complete the gag the first time you step on a rake, but this location has so many rakes for you to test, you’re bound to finish the gag in no time.
Dislodge the Lard Lad Donut (Donut District)
Head to the Donut District to find the huge Lard Lad Donuts statue — it’s so big you cannot miss it. To finish this gag, you’ll need to destroy the statue by hitting it with your pickaxe or shooting it.
Catch Blinky (Kamp Krusty)
For this hidden gag, you’ll need to catch a Blinky, which is a three-eyed fish. This can be done at any fishing spot around Springfield Island, but we recommend heading to the lake by Kamp Krusty as it has a ton of fishing spots.
Spray Springfield
As you’re exploring Springfield Island, you may notice a spraycan icon pop up on your screen from time to time. At these locations, you can emote to spray Springfield, which would complete the hidden gag. We’ve found five locations where you can spray Springfield:
- Kwik-E-Mart east of Cletus’ Corn Hole
- Steps in front of Burns Manor
- Kwik-E-Mart in Springfield Town Square
- Behind the Springfield Town Hall in Corruption Corners
- Behind the Springfield Police Station in Donut District
Bring the Haw Haw Humiliation
This last gag might be the most difficult to complete, as you’ll need to defeat one of the three bosses: Evil Homer, Witch Marge, or Krusty the Clown. The bosses themselves aren’t that difficult to defeat, but finding them is the real struggle. The bosses don’t have a dedicated spawn somewhere on the map. Instead, there are multiple locations where they can spawn. According to Osirion on X, there are a total of 27 different spawn locations and each location has their own likelihood of spawning a boss.
Three bosses will spawn per match, but you won’t know for sure where they’ll spawn. The best way to complete this quest is to patrol the map in a car until you spot any of the bosses’ icons on your minimap. Then, you’ll just need to fire away and quickly defeat them to hear the iconic “Haw haw!”
