Golden token

I'm assuming you have to go into the store and find the Golden Mystery Box and spend it that way. I say "assume" because I accidentally clicked it from the task list and wasted it on 12 donuts. I feel like the developers purposely did that so people would waste the token.

I believe OP is saying they do not have the Golden Mystery Box and ergo, only had the option to redeem it for 12 donuts. That's what I had to do.

But, for some reason, doing that does not complete the "quest". So, a lot of people (myself, and most likely the OP) will have an incomplete, unfinishable quest unless game devs drop a quick patch or something

It'll go away most likely when the event ends, in less than 2 weeks. Probably.

Same here, got the task for the golden box but no box only the donut purchase so it appears to be impossible to complete (I even made a donut purchase and got extra tokens still can't complete it) guess that we'll just have to wait for it to expire.

I didn't have a golden mystery box, so the only option I had to spend the token on was the box of 12 donuts. As soon as I did this it completed step 1 of the Black Friday event chain. The next step requires the player to purchase donuts through the app, if you buy the 900 donut pack it completes all stages of the quest chain.

Unfortunately it didn't do that for me, I didn't have any gold boxes available at the start of the event so ended up using my free token for the 12 donut box, I've also purchased the 900 donuts option and got the 3 buildings and the extra tokens, exchanged all those for more donut boxes and I still have the task to spend a token on a gold mystery box.

So I am guessing now that you have to use the golden token or lose them after the current quest. I just hope the task will go away after this quest.

I do believe that you are correct, I'm fairly sure that I read that any tokens you have left after the current event reaches it's final date will disappear with the end of the event so it would be wise to spend them on something in the gold box of get that box of a dozen donuts should you have no gold box available as you already have all the items in it.

4 years later, and I still have this unfinished task on my game. Did anyone ever figure out a solution?

Did you, or do you have the spend a 2022 token on sprinkles task ??
Did you not do anything for those 4 years and decided to speak up now or is it an entirely different matter with the Day Old Donuts quest that came up when the Black Friday 2022 event ended ??
Trade a Golden Token from that 2022 event and it clears the task and if you have no token to trade what did EA Help say when you phoned them ??
