Death at the Drive-In 101: Snack Attack Mystery Box

UPDATE 10/24: (thought this was already here, but did not save to the post, Sorry) Got confirmation back from Tinyco… Due to a bug in this Mystery Box, TinyCo pulled it back from the game. For those of you wanting the rest of the items that were still remaining in the Snack Attack Mystery Box, I was told they may return via alternate methods and to just keep an eye out. You can always message TinyCo too your thoughts.


Hey there Slashers!

Many times with the New Events I see PANIC. Mostly due to everything is new and no one knows just yet how to get the hang of what is going on. Well, just as usual, here to help in anyway I can with some Basic 101 and detailed breakdown of HOW TO on the aspects of the Game Play.

For this post, I will be diving into all the Goodies stuffed inside the Snack Attack Mystery Box launched during Phase 2

Snack Attack Mystery Box

First up… what YOU will see in the Mystery Box may vary from other Players. It will all depend on if you played last Halloween or picked up some of the reintroduced items since then.

If you want to verify what options are there for you, tap on the Green “PRIZES” button and scroll through all the items inside.

WHERE IS THE SNACK ATTACK MYSTERY BOX? 

You can find it two ways. You can just go to your Shopping Cart and into the Event Tab in the Menu. It will be there with the other Event items.

Or if you want to go over to the Event Area, you will now notice the Brian Statue is lit up. This is a shortlink to the Mystery Box. Tapping on it will take you inside.

Now let’s take a peek inside… 


WHAT DO I GET FOR 100 CLAMS?

With the Characters, Buildings, and additional items inside it may be hard to decide what may be worth it to you to even try for. I will provide you with a bit overall information for each item below. Many of these items were from the Halloween Ghostbuster’s Event 2014.

Ghostbuster ClevelandGhostbuster Cleveland (Character Costume): Helps drop 3D Glasses, he is fully tasked.

Ghostbuster JoeGhostbuster Joe (Character Costume): Helps drop 3D Glasses, he is fully tasked.

Vampire Duck Stewie 1Vampire Duck Stewie (Character Costume): Helps drop 3D Glasses, he is fully tasked.

Sexy Witch Connie 1Sexy Witch Connie (Character Costume): Helps drop 3D Glasses, she is fully tasked.

Ghostbusters HQGhostbusters HQ (Building): Sits on a 6×9 base. Earns $40 & 25xp every 6hrs. This is a VERY TALL Building. It does look cool to have in your town if you love the Ghostbusters Franchise. It also is required for some tasks for the Ghostbuster Character Skins.

Halloween Griffin HouseHalloween Griffin House (Building Skin): Sits on a 6×8 base. Earns $60 & 40xp every 12hrs. This is a Skin for the Griffin’s so you can take it back off when the Holiday Season or Event is over.

SlimerSlimer (Walking Decoration): This is a Walking Decoration or NPC. That means it wanders the streets like other Characters, but is a Non Playable Character. They only roam. Slimer does have animation as he roams, tapping on him makes him drop a Ghostly Vendor Cart full of items for him to pig out on.

Little LuciferLittle Lucifer (Walking Decoration): This is a Walking Decoration or NPC. That means it wanders the streets like other Characters, but is a Non Playable Character. They only roam. Tapping on him will trigger them to spray his paint can. I was hoping to get a few of these kids last year roaming my town, so glad they brought them back… just not sure on the cost.

Wittle WitchWittle Witch (Walking Decoration): This is a Walking Decoration or NPC. That means it wanders the streets like other Characters, but is a Non Playable Character. They only roam. Tapping on her will trigger them to spray his paint can. I was hoping to get a few of these kids last year roaming my town, so glad they brought them back… just not sure on the cost.

 

Materials will vary on “use” depending on how you play the game on whether or not they’ll be worth it to you. Just know that these DO repeat.

MY RESULTS

Now for MY results from the Mystery Box. The game I used was in play last year, not as much… but I did already have some items.

75 Popcorn
8 Garlic
Slimer
Halloween Griffin House
45 Popcorn
Wittle Witch
8 Garlic
45 Popcorn
Little Lucifer

And that was it for me. I had all the other items already from last year, so only a few to get this year. I really do like my Character Costumes from last year.  I did not mind the Materials as I did need them and it was cheaper to get them this way then speeding tasks or drops.

 


There you have it. An overall look at the items inside this Mystery Box as well as my personal luck at it. There are some really cool items inside and not a bad cost for the Costumes. It all will just depend on what it is worth to YOU to take a gamble, spin the wheel, and chance what you get for your Clams.

What do you think of this Mystery Box? Did you take a gamble in it? How were your results? Any items you want in there but are afraid to try? Let us know.

  1. I cant find the prizes. I have looked EVERYWHERE. I am looking for the Rupert like giftbox.

    • Sorry, I thought the Update had posted. I will correct that. They had to pull this out of the game shortly after launch due to technical issues. The remaining items may show up at a later time.

  2. I don’t play this one much, I do the other one ;), but when opening it today there was a Rupert box I had to open three times. Is that the only time you get to open this?

  3. I only heard about this game and started playing it earlier this year (meaning I missed Halloween last year). When I decided to look back at past events, to see what I had missed so far, I was downhearted to see Ghostbusters as that is one of my favourite movies of all time. I was praying that I may be able to get something from that event in the future. When the mystery box got released last week, of course I decided to take a chance to see what I could get. Anyway, I ended up getting everything I wanted – Slimer, Ghostbusters HQ, Ghostbuster Cleveland and Ghostbuster Joe! I am thrilled with my win!! TinyCo really can make wishes come true.

  4. I would have just paid clams to outright buy the GB HQ and the 4 GB outfits. Not sure if I want to gamble on maybe getting part of that.

    I decided to pass, I spent 300 clams on boxes last event for Tomik and I’d rather save clams for a similar item.. I already have connie’s costume anyway and got the 18 garlic for buying clams for the ent, so s’all good 🙂

  6. I had all the costumes and decos from last year (including the non-moving Slimer) but I was hoping for some cannonballs as I didn’t have Death at the time. I got the little Witch, Slimer, a bunch of popcorn and some garlic. I stopped at six attempts, but I would have liked little Lucifer.

  7. I opened 3 boxes.
    1) Wittle Witch
    2) Ghostbuster Cleveland
    3) Ghostbuster Joe

    I would like to get the ghostbusters headquarters but I stopped here because i didn’t want to push my luck since all I really wanted was the costumes (already had Stewie & Connie).

  8. Anyone not going to be able to save Patty? I still need to get 130 reels before I can even unlock Lois. 75 clams just doesn’t seem worth it. Also, is Joe’s Hellhouse worth all those glasses? Does it do anything to help? Oh, and on post topic, I won’t be opening any of these….

  9. Should I pay 75 clams for Patty? I do not pay for clams, nor will I ever do, and I don’t have ANY premium character. Was saving up for Cleveland, which I guess will be more useful. But i don’t know… any advice?

    • If you think you can finish her AND the other 2 Meg Friends, you will get 20 Clams back for completing the group. Cleveland has pretty much been back around and now in the menu to stay for a while. Patty is only this Event.

      So ask yourself… 3 months from now…. WHO would you be really happy to have in your game? Would that 75 Clams be back in your pocket? Via things like the Clam TV in game? Neighbor Visits to get Free clams? Etc…

      • I hate that your logic is sound….I bought Cleveland and Conseula and neither have done much or been of value. Do you have insight into what the 2nd and 3rd friends will require? Getting 20 clams back would make it easier to do.

        • I won’t until they are released. Sorry. It is one thing to have “advanced knowledge”… but the years I have spent on this game and the other we write on I have learned quickly that things can, have, and will change before going live in the game. So I wait. See what is actual accurate information that I can verify in my own games and with my own eyes and pass that on to you. 😉

      • Thanks for the reply. I really feel I’ve been falling behind ever since day 1 of the event, and I have been playing non-stop. I have an excel sheet with all the important timers to never leave anyone inactive for more than half an hour. The thing is I have Avril, Belgard and Carl from last event and they are completely useless. They do nothing to help in any quest/task/gathering whatsoever, so I had a feeling we would never have to use Patty again :/

        I think I will give it a try though, see how things turn up for the next 2 friends. Still 1 sandals to get death. 130 reels to get lois… I guess another week till I get the skin for the school. T_T I am behind, oh yeah I am.

  11. I didn’t have any costumes as I’m relatively newer, and I’m pretty thrilled with my results;

    Ghostbuster Cleveland
    Ghostbuster Joe
    Vampire Duck Stewie
    45 Popcorn (Almost made me stop)
    Sexy Witch Connie

    And then I stopped. Didn’t want to press my luck, but happy with having all the costumes!!!

  12. This is the first ever Mystery Box I haven’t bothered with, as I’ve played this game from day 1, and I got everything that came with last years Haloween Event, there were only the 3 moving decoration in my box, and as much as I’d love to have Little Lucifer, and Wittle Witch I just don’t think they’re worth 100 Clams each. But there’s plenty of other items to get in this event, and I’ll be happy with whatever I do earn. And there’s going to be another Mystery Box, and that might have a few things I’d like to get.

    • Yah, JUST decorations is a bit tough call. Costumes would have been a good bargain, so definitely a pass if you don’t want anything that is left… and like you said, more to come at least with Stewie. 😉
