I would like if Playfish gives a FREE Mystery Box to all RC players.. By email subscriber maybe.. Please, 1 is enough!!
October 27, 2010 at 12:48 pm |
It would be really neat if Playfish didn’t make EVERYTHING cost PF Cash. It’s completely unfair that all of the really nice things can never be bought by people who don’t have gobs of money to spend on fake currency.
Well, I’m never even going to look at these mystery boxes again. Oh, wait, yes I will, because everytime I log in they’re going to tell me to buy them.
October 27, 2010 at 6:15 pm |
I don’t care much of the figurine. My goal is on collecting the stoves. Please consider allowing players to gift the figurine after opened. I don’t sell or trade anything that I buy with my Playfish cash. I give it to my online friends instead.

The whole idea behind buying the mystery boxes is to get the items to complete the sets, because completing the sets gets us the free stoves, and when we get all 3 free stoves, we earn the Trick or Treat Monster House.
BUT… when there is a chance to get 2 of any one item on the list (and in some cases, more of a LIKELIHOOD that you will get a multiple than a new item), it seems unfair that these extra items cannot be gifted. For those of us who are only collecting Mystery Box items to complete those sets and get the Grand Prize, its a waste of PFC to buy and get EXTRA things we do not need or want, and then not give us an opportunity to gift or trade them away.
Plus, if you think about it, the only guarantee of getting that Trick Or Treat Monster House is by spending 300 PFC because with that outlay of cash, you are sure to get 1 of each item (and probably 2 of all but the last one needed to complete all of your sets).
THIS occasional PFC buyer is not happy about this at all.
October 28, 2010 at 5:11 am |
You must change the way to obtain it, by the way the players could buy it with coins because they can’t buy with playfish.

Mr. T XDDDD

Do you know anyone who has gotten the Ultimate Prize? I’d love to see how it works. Will Maggie have any of these items in her restaurant? Thanks.

October 29, 2010 at 9:19 am |
Bug or? what happened to my stove after I have managed to collect all items for paranormal series?! It doenst show up in the list nor my inventory! After sending so much PFC and I cant get full set?! So pissed off =.=
October 29, 2010 at 10:35 am |
The potwasher boy that gives 5% dish clean up boost. What if I have 2?Do they stack?
October 30, 2010 at 2:09 am |
This is by far the most EXPENSIVE restaurant city items ever!
You need to spend nearly 35 US dollars to unlock them all! :S

1. will the mystery boxes still be tradable/openable after the time to buy them is over?
2. will the items at any time in the future be tradable?
October 30, 2010 at 2:34 pm |
Very annoyed that I can’t gift my spares to my friends, or trade them for ones I don’t have. I can understand not trading the first of each one, so that people don’t just trade the sets around, but the spares? Grats, Playfish, you sure swindled me. :/

I’ve got a mystery box at searching ghouls but i have no idea where i can find it….
October 31, 2010 at 8:04 am |
Hey, thanks for all these answers, but here’s one more question:
I just won a Mystery Box as the Gold Award for zapping ghouls, but I can’t find it anywhere… Where is it?
October 31, 2010 at 10:40 am |
I obtained a mystery box by zapping the zombies but how do I get my figurine?
October 31, 2010 at 10:44 am |
I aquired a Holloween mystery box as a grand prize on the ‘Ghouls are Unlieshed’ game but can’t find it.
October 31, 2010 at 4:38 pm |
I won a mystery box yesterday but I don’t know how to locate it so I can open it. A little direction, please? :3
November 1, 2010 at 6:31 pm |
I have a quick question… When the Halloween magic boxes are not on stores anymore, will it be giftable????
November 1, 2010 at 8:34 pm |
How am i suppose to get all the figurines/stoves/monster house if i dont use PFC or trade?
November 3, 2010 at 5:02 am |
You should give people 5 mystery box each cause some don’t have playfish cash like the children playing this wonderful game, help them even giving them few mystery boxes …
November 3, 2010 at 5:04 am |
I agree what’s jayson medina says you should give us free mystery boxes, many children are playing these …
November 3, 2010 at 3:33 pm |
You guys sure opened a can of worms with this one.
November 3, 2010 at 4:43 pm |
Yay for them to be free if some friends play. So I sent the mystery boxes to my 5 friends, 1 of them was online and accepted it and they sent it back and my RC lost its internet connection
so I lost my mystery box. I hope they will recover it!!!
November 4, 2010 at 7:39 am |
Mystery Box Please I want More
November 5, 2010 at 2:13 pm |
Have faith…..I completed my set with only 4 duplicates….so all in all not too bad.
Hopefully they’ll become giftable soon and I can send them to friends who don’t have these items.
November 8, 2010 at 8:27 pm |
I wish I could gift all of my duplicated gifts to others.
Hearing the words “have faith” seems to be lost in my vocabulary.
To sum it up I have a total of 35 mystery box items. All of them have duplicated except one. Approx. 80 PFC down the drain and worst of all I did not get my
Paranoramal Stove and Haunted House.
I have reported this problem 3x and have no solution yet and have been checking my email and reloading my RC game like a zombie, Praying and hoping that someone could help, but so far nothing. =’(
November 6, 2010 at 12:18 am |
I got 2 mysteri boxes the first day, but now I cant find any boxes???!!
November 8, 2010 at 8:30 pm |
Once RC has loaded check the left hand side of the screen and you will see a mystery box icon. Click on that and continue to click until you see open mystery box icon on the top.
November 8, 2010 at 9:11 pm |
after you zap ghouls it’s in your mystery box menu. go to the thing where it shows you all the items and click open at the top
and yes i do wish playfish would give at least ONE to email subscribers! ALL the good items are playfish cash! magor disappointment
November 10, 2010 at 4:10 am |
