CityVille Wave Your Magic Wand: Everything you need to know

A few days ago, CityVille players were given the chance to start working on the large Halloween Saga for 2012, but while each of the three Acts in this saga comes with three different goals to complete, only two of the three goals in Act 1 were actually available at the beginning. Now, the third goal in Act 1 has launched, and it requires you to expand your city before you can actually complete it.

Wave Your Magic Wand!

• Expand out to the Haunted Schoolhouse

• Ask friends for 20 Witch's Wands

• Collect 25 Black Cats

First things first, the Witch's Wands are earned by posting a general news item on your wall, and the Black Cats are earned by collecting from Ghost Buildings. Luckily, these Ghost Buildings seem to be any of the major Halloween buildings that you may already have from last year's event, like the Mausoleum, Zombie Safe House and more.

Of course, the major challenge in this particular goal is expanding to the Haunted Schoolhouse, which will be found one or two squares out from your current city limits. If you've already expanded to the full game board, you'll simply find this building in your inventory instead.

When you finish this goal, you'll receive 300 XP and three Bonus Crew members that can be used in other buildings in your town. Now that all three goals are available to complete in Act 1, finishing them all also gives you another prize: the Skeletal Estates. Remember, you'll need to complete all three Acts to eventually finish the entire Halloween event and win the Ethereal Manor, so get started as soon as you can!
