Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
As promised in the rundown post, here’s the list of what’s inside each Mystery Box. Also noted are if the items are in the Yearbook Box or if they’re duplicated in another box for a lower cost.
There’s A LOT of details in the post, so I’m just going to get right to it…
(Also, there was no simple way to do this on my end, so this post took a TON of time to put together. So, please don’t expect/demand I write a post like this for every single mystery box that hits the game in the future.)
As I’ve noted below each box, * denotes the item is in the Yearbook Mystery Box. Remember, the Yearbook Mystery Box costs 30 donuts. So items in the first 3 boxes are a better deal for Black Friday than in the Yearbook Box.

Thoughts on the breakdown? Did you have all the boxes available in your game? Which were you missing? What will you purchase? Sound off below, you know we love hearing from you!
Wait for the men mystery box I have a “Moe’s House” with no character. Do I already have the character or is this just a glitch?
It’s as it’s supposed to be
Thank you! Now, why do all of my boxes cost 10 more 🍩 than what you listed? Am I getting screwed?!
I have all of the boxes except for the Gold Box. Does this mean I have all the items already or does the Gold Box come out sometime later?
No it means you have every item
Thank you for the info
I am finding that when a box gets down to one item, it disappears, unless the item is in another box.
Happened with creatures box, missing burns dragon
And just now with bronze box.
Same happened to me (creatures mystery box)!

Where can I find the Gold Box? All of the other boxes are showing up but the gold box isn’t.
I can use my 1 golden coin to buy 12 donuts. 🙂

Yes, and you can do it again with one of the Event Prizes (another Gold Token) while Farming 🍩’s on the side (just Farmed 120 in 2 Days) 😀👍🏻
I am missing ALL the boxes.. I don’t have any of them… All I want is the different fighter sets for the CIVIL WAR stage.!!!! is that toooo much to ask for??
PS — The splash screen, the white turkey has a messed up left leg… (mistake)
Am I the only one who does not appear Mrs. Sinclair in the box? I will never get it 🙁
If you have the school for tots you won’t see it, it’s now a combo item.
I realised there were two characters in the mystery boxes that weren’t showing for me because I already had the associated buildings. I contacted EA through technical support and they added Mrs Sinclair and the Lady Bot to my Springfield!
Hopefully knowing this will help someone here out too – sorry if it’s already been flagged, I haven’t read all of the comments!
I have exactly the same problem. I have the building, but not the character. This situation also happened to me last year.
All I want is Golden Goose Realty 😔
Marc Hudson
I am really surprised EA hasn’t brought it back (they could ask for 300 🍩’s again , it would be sprinkles worth spending) – I got all of the Land available, it’s just Item Limits (EA is failing this Game App by not increasing this!) 🤬
I started hard core farming last year & bought everything in the black Friday 2018 boxes.
This year, only 1 item to buy in Black Friday 2019, basicaly game over for me.
Have fun playing!
I had a single item available in 4 mystery boxes and purchased it immediately. Also picked up all other premium stuff available during the event.
Anything for a new quest.
I will say though that once you complete the Yearbook mystery box, the regular Black Friday Mystery boxes lose a little bit of their luster.
Basically, unless it’s less than 30 donuts, don’t bother since it’s in the Yearbook.
Well it depends. Some strategy is involved as well, especially if a box contains only 1 item.
To repeat what almost everybody has been saying here (sans the people saying TSTO is ending, haha):
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!! It’s 100% clear to all of us how much work is involved with this, and considering we are all here, we obviously wouldn’t be doing it on our own! So thank you for this amazing resource. It’s especially helpful to list what is and is not available in the yearbook!
And as an aside, and also repeating what others have said, I hope you feel better!
Thanks 🙂 Much better all around today!
I’m hoping someone might know the answer to a question that has been plaguing me for well over a year now.
Back during the days of the rollback glitch, I got hit and lost about 6 weeks of game progress. Most of the buildings/characters I was able to reclaim either through future events or the Yearbook.
The only thing I’m still missing is Mexican Duffman. I see that he’s listed in Mystery Box #5, but he’s never shown up in my Yearbook (my Yearbook is empty). I read the SIB for Mexican Duffman, and it looks like you could purchase him individually, but is he tied to a building? I’m wondering if there’s a building I could store and have him magically come back to my game, or am I doomed to always have that one missing character? (I know, I know…first-world problems.)
As it is now, I don’t have the character, but he never shows up for re-purchase.
Thanks!
He’s bundled with lady duff and duffman in the boxes
Interesting…so if I already have both of them, there’s no way to get just Mexican Duffman, I suppose. Thanks for the info and also for putting together the list of mystery box items!!!
Same counts for Lady Bot in the Frink or Future Home bundle… any chance EA will change this (on request)?
No they won’t. I messaged with customer support and they just told me that she wasn’t available. They didn’t plan this well
Thanx for the feedback!!! That is quite annoying then, Sitzung in the donuts knowing there are characteres left one will most likely never be able to geht … :-/
TSTO is coming to a end with everyone kem farming. We all had a good run. I’ve played the game from day one and been a fan of this site as a very big addicts fan. It’s been fun. But I can’t imagine EA or any business will run a company for free?
🥱 anyone have a new line to say TSTO is coming to an end? I’ve been hearing this one since 2016…
For this thinking of a new TSTO is ending line, here were the others we’ve heard (for reference, so you don’t repeat): before donut farming it was “they’re out of ideas” and before that it was “mobile games don’t last, no one will be playing this in 6 months”.
Meanwhile…it’s 2019, almost 2020. This game launched in 2012. It’s still here. Despite everyone saying it’s ending, basically since it started.
Thanks Allisa for your hard work.
Personally I liked the fact that all the retail buildings are in a box as I’m building up a new town centre area in my Springfield and need new shops. If I go to the yearbook box I have a 20 % chance of getting it for 30 🍩 but on average I’ll be paying 40 to 60 🍩 and probably getting other stuff I don’t want whereas with the retail box it is guaranteed I’ll get the sort of buildings I’m looking for at a fixed price. I admit this is a very specific situation and in general the yearbook box is probably still the better way to go.
Thank you for the detailed list info.
I bought the six items from my first box. I was waiting for the other boxes to appear, so I thought I’d check with the addicts. Apparently, no more boxes for me. That’s fine, there’s already a lot of stuff in my Springfield.
I don’t have Treestache available probably because I already have Magic Milhouse
It is a mistake that EA already knows. But that does not pretend to fix.
It’s not a mistake. It’s a combo they’ve offered. Plenty of items are combo items like this, it’s unfortunate for those who have 1 item and not the other, but it’s not a mistake.
This whole list is amazing and helpful. I am missing a woman’s box and creatures box. My kids box has only one kid. I may pick up the alter egos since they are so cheap but I never use the skins in the game except for Ralph Wiggum tap dancing and the Kang and modi’s spreading glitter around town with Smithers and being a pirate.
So much effort for our benefit. Thank you.
Hey, thanks for all your time doing this. I’ve only been in the game since last February, and – despite all the “the game is DOOOOMED” negativity here, it’s a good place for in-depth info. And general good-natured-ness.
You won’t hear it from me lol eternal optimist 😀
nice to see a fellow player from around the same time! believe i started this february, lol.
Yeah some people just can’t kick back and relax. I understand that it is harder for old timers like me since we have a lot of the old items already. But there are still some nice items to get with this event.
I need some new stores to fill out my town, and I see a lot of new things so I am happy with the event.
