If your one of the FOX watchers playing The Simpsons Scavenger Hunt, then you’re probably wondering how exactly Homer, Marge, and their brood crossed over into the universe of the Pattern.
Well, they really crossed over in two ways. However, the most notable of these crossovers was Tyler’s Homer Simpson Pez dispenser, which held his mind-control drugs that he was periodically taking throughout the episode.
Secondly, the climactic act of the episode took place in a town called Springfield, which just happens to be the name of a town where the Simpson’s live. However, while the animated Springfield is in Illinois, the Fringeian Springfield was located in Pennsylvania.

The Simpsons’ Springfield isn’t in Illinois. The show has never said what state it’s in – that’s been a running joke throughout the years. But it’s most likely not Illinois, since Springfield is not the capital of the Simpsons’ state. (Capitol City is.)
That’s a factual error on my part — thanks for clearing that up!
