How To Get Unstuck in Secret Districts

Share:

UPDATE: According to the comment there is more than one reason causing this issue, however, the workaround still works. For those who care about the why, read the comments.


A common issue with Secret Districts and destinations is players find themselves stuck on a particular level and they can’t move on. For some reason this seems to be happening more frequently than in the past with The Model Crime Secret District. The image below provided by Luke Leet would be impossible if everything worked as it should in the game. The reason this happens is because the game doesn’t always recognize mastery if a job help request was used. A few years back Zynga implemented some changes that helped reduce the odds of this happening but it’s never been 100% foolproof [1]. Thankfully there is an easy way to get unstuck. All you need to do is click on the job you asked for help on 1 time and that should be enough for mastery to be registered. If you don’t remember which job it was, just click on each one until you get the mastery popup.

STUCK

  1. I'm not so sure this is caused from asking for job help. I pretty much always forget to ask for job help, but manage to get stuck in secret districts nearly all the time. I've always found clicking on any job releases me.

  2. Your fix worked for me, but I never asked for job help. So your identified cause is not the only reason this happens.

  3. I have a similar problem in SA Bonus Districts - 1 finished in the middle is stuck on 100% mastery - nothing helps to get it "done"

    1. I have the same problem. Mine's been stuck for months. Every once in a while, I click on it again. Nothing.

      Now that there's no technical support for the game, what do we do?

  4. I never ask for help in Secret districts but have gotten stuck on every level of this current SD. I can click any job and get unstuck.

  5. This happens to me EVERY time I finish a secret district, but has nothing to do with me asking for help.

    1. I finish the last job. No pop up.
    2. I kill the boss. Get a Boss popup.
    3. I go back to jobs and click any job one time. Get job popup.

    No need to post this, just sayin' it is not necessarily from asking for help as I rarely, if ever, bother...
