6/15/07 - I can no longer afford the bandwidth to keep up all the images on this section of the site. I am leaving up the maps, but all the images of the chores and the characters and the minigames have had to go. I'm leaving up the codes themselves, but not the screenshots of them. I'm sorry but there's nothing I can do about it at this time. I don't want to lose the forum, after all.
5/23/07 - Okay, so now that we know that the game is going to be extended, I am officially going on record to say, I cannot keep up with the updates. I mean we all know I'm behind on the minigames, but I've fallen behind on everything else too. I will try to keep the maps up to date, and I will keep posting secret codes (if any more are even released). But beyond that, no promises. If anyone else has any BFAHP online guides, please tell me and I will post a link to it.
From May 2006 to April 2007 CartoonNetwork.com is hosting Foster's Big Fat Awesome House Party, a free Macromedia-enabled web game. Yes, it will run an entire year, with new levels and mini-games being revealed to players the more they play. I wanted to post up some screenshots of the game now for posterity.
By the way, for more information on the game I do recommend you visit the BFAHP section of my forum - you can always count on the members there to post information whenever they find it. I rely on their information to inform me when there are updates myself, and this portion of my website would not be possible without their help. ALSO someone has started a Wikipedia page for BFAHP, if you'd like to try there for information. I am not involved with that project.
You get to assemble your own imaginary friend to control in the game (and you can change their appearance again at any time). This is Blinky, my imaginary friend. He's based on my pseudo-imaginary friend that I had in high school. Yes, I used to talk to a blue party bulb named "Blinky" in high school for shock value. That was in 1992, when I was addicted to Darkwing Duck and Megavolt was my hero. Where did you think my nickname "Sparky" came from? So needless to say when I saw a lightbulb was available in this game I *had* to have it, make it blue, and call it Blinky. And now you know Blinky's life story. (Btw I am certain I still have the actual Blinky packed away around here somewhere, if I ever find him I think I shall have to post a photo.)
Anyways. Yes it is a fun game, and it *is* free so I encourage everyone to try it. When you log in you get a set of chores to do from Mr. Herriman, and you are advised to complete those chores in the same day else they become "harder" (meaning you will get larger numbers of each chore depending on your last login). According to the game, you can only be given one set of chores per 24-hour period.
As you explore the house you may speak to the various characters you encounter (and I suggest you don't get too anal about who you meet - yes Ivan and Berry and Cheese should *not* be at the house but you know what, I'm glad they are).
You have in your control panel four slots available to do "favors" for Wilt, Ed, Mac, and Frankie, and you may only do one favor per day. If you get stuck doing your chores and need help to complete them you can call in a favor from one of the characters whom you have already helped, and then their icon will disappear from your control panel. You cannot do favors for anyone if your Friendship slots are all full, but if you have at least one slot open you may do a favor for a friend for whom you already have an icon. Doing favors fills your Popularity bar. If you fill your Popularity bar completely you may unlock a mini-game (which then brings your Popularity bar to zero so you can work on filling it again). Getting your chores done fills your Citizenship bar. Once your Citizenship bar is full you can "go on an adventure" with Bloo (and of course, doing this brings your Citizenship bar to zero so you must fill it again before you can go on another adventure). Calling in a favor will either reduce that particular chore by about half (so calling in two favors on the aame chore will complete it) or, if there is only one thing to do in that chore, it will take care of it completely.
Bloo's "adventures" turn out often rather suspiciously like Herriman's chores if you ask me! Lol. But completing adventures helps with your Popularity and can earn you photos for your little photo album. Since doing favors and going on adventures is the only way to earn Popularity points, and as I said you cannot do favors if your Freindship slots are already full, be sure to ask your friends to help you with your chores so you can do more favors. You *want* to do a favor every day if possible. Asking for help with your chores has no adverse effects on your control panel. So be sure to do a favor every day, if you want to unlock mini-games.
Mini-games take the form of video games found in the House's Arcade. Playing them earns you prizes and photos, and your scores are visible to all players of the game in the "World Scores" screen if you rank among the top scorers (top scores refreshed weekly). You may play these games as often as you like, once your day's chores are complete.
