The Revised Mystery Box.

Gameplay

New Mystery Box

After the user logs in on March 31: Mystery box sales are down again this month! How could something that once topped the charts every week fall so far out of favor with the public? Actually sir, that's to be expected. People experienced the mystery box, they enjoyed it for a while, and now they've moved on. Perhaps we could come up with something else to sell them — something new and original! Yes yes, we'll get to that. But first we have to do everything we can to keep them interested in spending money on the old thing! Really, sir? Wouldn't it make more sense just to appreciate the mystery box for what it was and just remove it from the store? Let it die with dignity? Die? With dignity? I intend to do neither of those things. And the mystery box won't either! Change the interface! Offer a promotion! Rebalance the economy! Inspire nostalgia! We need to try anything and everything we can to keep it afloat! I suppose we could offer a new set of prizes for the mystery box. That's a start... but I was hoping for something more superficial. A new icon? Excellent. System Message The new Mystery Box has arrived! With new prizes AND a new icon. If the user doesn't have Blue Haired Lawyer: Open a new Mystery box and you might unlock me! If the user doesn't have Kearney: Open a new Mystery box and you might unlock me! After tapping: System Message As any good drug pusher will tell you, the first one is free. Quest Reward: 1 New Mystery Box
