Plenty of classic board games have been updated over the years to varying degrees of success. An electronic talking component will be added or a litany of sound effects will be introduced to make game play more dramatic. And while some updates succeed in making the game more fun or at least more appealing to today’s tech-savvy kids, many others overcomplicate things and actually reduce the fun factor. Mystery Date, aside from a bit of updated photography is still pretty much the same game it’s always been as players move their pieces around a simple game board and then open a door to see which boy they’ll imaginarily go on a date with: the popular snowboarder, the suave fellow in a tux, or the nerd carrying a load of books. It’s a bit disappointing that the academic kid must be seen as the loser in this game but at least the game’s makers have kept tradition alive. –Charlie Williams

Me and my tween and teen girls have a blast playing this classic game just as my sister and I did when we were young! It’s good, clean, simple fun and opens up a great dialogue about what to look for in an acceptable companion, etc. I would recommend it for anyone with girls who wants a peek into how she thinks about her dating future (or present!).

Cute little game from the past. I bought it just for the nostalgic value. This game is more fun if played while in an inebriated state.

Mystery Date is a fun game, came in great condition, turning the knob can be tricky, might end up with the same guy if you turn it the same way. not challenging by any means. overpriced.

Although this is a very fun game, and a blast from my past, I was expecting the Original Mystery Date game with the 1960-1870 dud date guy.
This is still a fun game to play but the guys are nothing like the guys in the original game. Now they were hunks with their white tux coat and peg leg pants, and the dud, was truly someone you might feel sorry for.
Will they ever put out the original version of the game? That is the one I would wait for, even if I dated the dud!

My 9 year old daughter and I were shopping and she spotted the mystery date game. I could not believe it! I grabbed it and hugged it to my chest! Finally! I had been waiting 30 years to be able to call this game my own. I thought we would play it once and I would put it away to keep for always. NOT! My daughter is an addict. She will not stop playing the game. She even plays it by herself. This game is truly a game that has held it’s appeal through the ages. I am so happy they brought it back. Now my daughter can keep the game and play it with her daughter someday. Every little girl should have the Mystery Date game!
