Mystery Date Introduction
The board game, Mystery Date has remained one of the most beloved of its era ever since Milton Bradley first released it in 1965. Its simple premise sees you get ready for a date with a secret admirer and has you matching outfits and couples along the way.
It has remained popular for several re-releases, and that’s why it’s turned out to be such a successful pokies game too! It is an instantly recognisable cult classic from the 60s and the pokie pays homage to the entertainment it offers in a whole new way. The pokie has managed to capture the board game aesthetic, but also add enough modern twists and features to keep it current and appealing to all players.
Easy on the eye pokies entertainment
A 5-reel, 50 payline pokies game, Aristocrat's Mystery Date also makes use of an expanded 5x5 layout. The colour scheme clearly draws its inspiration from the original game and features light pastel shades and little touches like stars floating in the background. This doesn’t date the game at all, and the graphics are brilliantly executed, as is the game maker's usual style.
On the reels you’ll find the usual lower value icons in the shape of card symbols ranking for Jack, all the way up to Ace, while the higher value symbols comprise of gifts a date may bring you. There are bunches of flowers, heart-shaped boxes of chocolates, teddy bears and even a ring! Matching up three or more symbols from the left-hand side will result in a win.
A bonus surprise
Sure enough, Mystery Date boasts a bonus game that includes a board game. When you trigger the bonus feature you’ll get to move around the board until you land on one of the many prizes. Among the prizes up for grabs are instant credit boosts, free spins and multipliers. If you are lucky enough to land in one of the corners of the bonus game board you’ll be rewarded with eight free spins instantly.
The main door will also open and you’ll be transported to one of the fabulous date destinations, such as beach party, where your matching outfit we become an expanded symbol on the reels. The man of your dreams will also make an appearance as a wild, and he also has the power to turn random symbols into wilds too, whenever they appear on the reels.
These special symbols will stretch the reels too, and they will expand to cover a 7x5 layout, with 100 lines on which you could win! Unbox a classic and discover what Mystery Date has to offer you, for free!
