Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
We’re nearing most Tappers favorite day, Black Friday! Yes a day when all those premium items you’ve been eyeing go on deep discount. Of course, this is TSTO and everything has a twist. This year’s twist, just like last year’s, is that you can’t just outright buy something. Everything comes in Mystery Box! So if you’ve been eyeing that one particular character you may have to clean out a box to do so!
So, as we’ve done in the past, let’s give you guys a preview of what’s in store starting TOMORROW…November 20th. Yes, that’s right. Black Friday gets earlier and earlier each year. Apparently EA couldn’t wait until Friday, instead, they have the items hitting Tuesday.
Note: Once they’re live I’ll start posting typical Mystery Box posts with links to Should I Buys for each box.
WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD
😂😂😂😂😂
GENERAL CONCEPT
First up… the main idea of these sales…
- Unlike past years (where twelve old item returns for a discounted price, one at a time, every hour, twice a day, each day of the sale), this year’s sale will feature a variety of Mystery Boxes. (just like last year)
- The items in your Mystery Boxes are items you do NOT already have in your game OR they are items that you may be able to get more than one of.
- If you already have all the items from a Mystery Box in your game, and all of the items are unique, you will not see that Mystery Box. If you have ALL the items already, you may not even see a Mystery Box at all… or a very very limited few.
- As with any Mystery Box, it’s a mystery which of the items within you will receive. So if you want one particular item, it may take several cracks at that Mystery Box to get said item.
- This is a list of items in the Mystery Boxes based off of the information at the time of this post. EA can change that information at anytime before the Sales go live in your game.
BLACK FRIDAY SALE BOXES
As of right now, there will be 16 boxes available for purchase between November 20th and November 28th. That’s double the boxes from last year and double the time to shop. Here is a list of items contained within these 16 boxes listed alphabetically:
Note: Some boxes may contain duplicate items with other boxes. It’s unclear how it will appear in the game, but in some cases, certain characters appear under multiple boxes. We’ll have to see how it plays out. For the purposes of this post, I’ve tried to only include them in 1 box. (especially since they’re unique, and in some cases, the boxes they’re listed in are 2 different prices, so the file wording doesn’t make a lot of sense)

Gold Box requires tokens, which can only be purchased with cash when you buy donuts. Buying donuts in the store will give you the tokens you’ll need to unlock these boxes.
And there you have it my friends, the preview details of the Black Friday TSTO Sales!
A few things are still a little confusing to me, based on what’s written in the files, so we’ll have to see how it physically plays out in the game. Because there are so many boxes this year I don’t think I’ll do individual posts on each box. Once I see it in game I’ll determine how I’m going to do the links. So we’ll see what happens!
Any boxes you’ve got your eye on? Anyone not expecting to see a box at all (because you have everything)? Which items are you wanting the most? Any real black Friday plans? Sound off below, you know we love hearing from you!
I just bought every item in every box with accrued donuts but won’t spend real money h
However after completing quests so many at a time .
I just earned an extra piece of squid port!!!!!! I had maxed out about 3 years ago
Does anyone know which. CHaracter or building gave me this extra piece?
That would be the yellow sub.
Question, what should we do with our sparetokens, keep them for next year?
No, they cannot be used next year and are only good for this year. If you have spare tokens after opening everything in the Gold Mystery Box, youur options are to either convert each token for a dozen donuts or to let them go to waste. We strongly recommend the former.
Thank you tsto. With my invest of 2e I got everything I wanted. Saves 50e.
You guys are amazing.
