This Nostalgia Edition of Mystery Date recreates the classic 1965 game with original-inspired artwork, a full-sized gameboard, and the signature mystery door, housed in a collectible tin. The set includes vintage-style components: a folding gameboard, the Mystery Door, four pawns with stands, one die, and 48 clothing and accessory cards for outfit matching.
Part of the WS Game Company Collectible Tin Series, this edition features durable metal packaging measuring 10.5 x 10.5 x 2.4 inches and weighing approximately 2 pounds. Designed for 2 to 4 players ages 8 and up, the gameplay involves matching outfits to potential dates while avoiding the dud, adding an element of surprise.
Suitable for family game nights, sleepovers, or parties, this version maintains the original mechanics with updated storage for preservation. The tin packaging also makes it a practical choice for collectors of classic games.
Things to Keep in MindA notable number of users experienced problems with the central 'mystery door' mechanism, reporting it frequently sticks, glitches, or fails to reliably change the hidden date, which can disrupt gameplay or render the game unplayable. There were also instances of the game arriving with missing parts, such as the door knob, or with damaged internal packaging. Why You'll Like ItThe game often brings back fond memories for adults who played it as children, making it a popular choice for intergenerational family game nights. Its vintage aesthetic, including the collectible tin packaging, is frequently highlighted as a positive aspect.
