Game update: 23/10/13

The Halloween theme continues in Restaurant Story as the 31st moves on to the horizon.

Notification for latest Halloween update

As I predicted, this week we've got a new box. The Mystery Mummy Chest is the only new item in this update, but for 24 gems you get a shot at picking up a seriously spooky decoration. Of course the odds are against you so gamble those gems at your own risk!

So what exactly are the prizes available from this new chest? Well here is a prize distribution list of everything available:

First Prize (1% chance)
  • Ghost Table
Second Prize (10% chance)
  • Monster Bash
  • Monster Band
Third Prize (35% chance)
  • Ghoulish Goards
  • Haunted Cupcakes
Fourth Prize (54% chance)
  • Candy Bowl Trick
  • Haunted Butler
  • Hungry Mummy
  • Floor Ghosts

If you take a look at the source link, you'll get a glimpse of all these items bar the first prize. The Ghost Table was this week's teaser:

I think these box items look really good. Even the 4th prizes which you're most likely to pick up are nice. The Monster Band in particular looks a brilliant piece.

Yet I'm not going to be dipping into this new box. Why not? Well it's not because of the risk associated with the boxes (I'm partial to a gamble!). Instead I've got Black Friday on my radar, and with only a month to go before the prospect (hopefully) of some goodies I'd rather not empty by heavy gem bag for some decorations which are only really relevant for Halloween season.

 12/10/13 Recipes changes
 09/10/13 Graveyard update 
 08/10/13 Recipe report
 02/10/13 Goals
 02/10/13 First update

On a tangent, the Mud Pudding which was added two weeks ago to the Basic Oven has been moved from its position at the front of the recipe list. You can now find it between Strawberry Shortcakes and Fish and Chips.

So that's us got a customary Halloween box. It will be very interesting to see what the game's developers do next Wednesday when the 31st is the following day. I still reckon that last year's Halloween content could be getting a re-release then, but you never know with TeamLava!
