I have been awarded from a mystery box on completion of a set number of challenges: Donuts, Bonsai Tree, Land Token, Kearney for example. But also Khav Kalash, Weather Station and Nuclear Bunker / Bin, WHY?, I could buy them with IGC. I am not referring to Burns Mystery Box in Premium menu.I don't do Premium. But the Mystery Box you sometimes get on the Daily Challenge. Just a couple of days after doing 5 challenges, I got a MB of 10 donuts. I do not consider it a prize, that after completing 5 challenges, at the end of the week I get something I could have bought for a few hundred cash. I would rather have had either 1 donut, a decoration, building or something that was worth thousands of IGC not a few hundred. I certainly was surprised but I just do not consider it a prize.

When the prize give away was first set up, very early in the game, not having to spend money on anything was a blessing. This was before people had massive bonus percentages, and bonus donuts were few and far between. So getting ANYTHING was wonderful. Now, not so much.

They can't all be good prizes!https://i.imgur.com/4egtpZj.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/W8Zwswy.png

I used to farm LL back when cash was short. Ive only got 166 of them in storage, but I know people that had 5 times that many. Most, if not all of the little stuff can be sold for IGC, so that could be a help to a newer player.I think I have 4 of the regular ones out in my town, aside from all the special LL donut shops (future, retro, church of, etc)

This is true of the MB bought for donuts and the MB you get as a Daily Challenge prize. Yes, it's frustrating when you get a worthless item from it. It's an artifact from the early days of the game and hasn't really been updated recently. Just shrug it off and move on to the next Daily Challenge prize. By buying MBs you can go through the cycle pretty quickly (and thus get "good" prizes quickly, ignoring the junk). But the MBs via the Daily Challenge only come once in awhile so the junk really stands out.The thing I don't get though. Does getting the MB via the Daily Challenge follow the already-in-progress MB-for-donuts pattern or is it following it's own separate pattern? I assume the former?

Daily Challenge given prizes from IGC menu, WHY?

The Mystery Box from Daily Challenges and the Burns Mystery Box in the Premium Menu are one and the same. @KLmaker :smile:

Well now there you go, you think you're sounding clever by saying that you don't think it's a real prize then someone comes along and bursts your bubble, you would have thought that someone who's been playing this game for eighteen months might have realised that, but no!

Once the mb has been depleted of premium characters, it cycles through a pattern of the same items over and over. It is what it is.

I would accept a coloured house, but another Khav stand, Bunker, Weather Station, I can only find so many uses for them, then they will end up being stored.

It's a waste.

I've never received a weather station in a mb. You don't mean the news van? Those have a 2% bonus, so well worth it in building your multiplier.

Don't forget about the Itchy & Scratchy billboard, and its 1% bonus! And the first four or five Lard Ladd donut shops you get are ok, after that they get old
