You can purchase up to 100 Mystery Boxes. 56 of the boxes contain the cards (in packs of 5) shown under "Mystery Box Rewards" and the other 44 boxes contain Cans of Beans, Upgrade Tokens, Leaderboard tokens, more event tokens, and I think more mystery box tokens. I'm not sure why the last 2 are in there since they are used to buy mystery boxes.
If I remember correctly, there are 5 boxes of 1000 cans of beans each, 5 boxes of 10 million leaderboard tokens, 5-10 boxes of 10k leaderboard tokens, 5-10 boxes of 1000 upgrade tokens, some number of boxes of 375k event tokens, and I think some number of boxes with mystery box tokens.
In case this hasn't occurred to others, you can tell how many boxes you have bought by dividing the cost of the next box by 100 and subtracting 1 since the first box is 100 tokens and the cost of a box increases by 100 everytime.
Hope that helps.

Re: mystery boxes. The maximums , ever?
I will probably move this text if it turns out to be a bug instead of a general question. I dont want to pollute a event thread. Just looking for clarificatrion right now..In case I am misunderstanding the rules.
On this event **I have managers only**.
Mystery boxes: No million or billion dollar pick,s no pies, just 5 managers. From the start of the event. Since Town 1.
(1) tea lady (1) Dr. Brown (0) Russell (0) Another tea lady (blue)
You mention
*" 5 boxes of 1000 cans of beans each, 5 boxes of 10 million leaderboard tokens, 5-10 boxes of 10k leaderboard tokens, 5-10 boxes of 1000 upgrade tokens, some number of boxes of 375k event tokens,"*
I see only managers.
Also when you say that one can purchase up to 100 mystery boxes. Do you mean each event?
If it was just me I would post a bug in the Technical sessions. But I also found this.
Stephen had the issue as well
From October 17, you said
"All of the Mystery Box items are still available, but it only shows managers right now. I'm not sure if this is a bug or if they are intentionally only showing the things that would change between events, which would just be the managers."
You know, the ones that give you a million or a billion towards the scoreboard for prizes
I think it was taken away last event. Maybe to make money?
**I think I will be moving this post and the responses to it. If it is only me,** but i looks like they dropped it.
I am in 20th place and normally I am in 2nd or 3rd for my category. Normally the tweek the managers for the event but last two events no tweaks (right?) and nothing more than managers for several people.
My question for you Jeff and anyone is did you get anything other than managers?
Thank you. I will be moving this stuff I am asking to a better place I guess. I'm the one who has to grab previous event junk too.

How many boxes have you opened? If you haven't opened a lot, then it might *seem* like there is nothing else other than what you see in the Mystery Box tab. Manager cards are slightly more likely to appear because over half the rewards possible are manager cards. The other things I listed are available, but not show in the Mystery Box tab. The reason I had to put "5-10" is because I can't remember how many of those items there are and I cannot see them listed on the Mystery Box with the maximum shown under the info (i) for the Mystery Box.
> Also when you say that one can purchase up to 100 mystery boxes. Do you mean each event?
Yes.

There are still 5 mystery boxes with 10 million leaderboard tokens each and there are still 5 or 10 (I can't remember exactly how many) mystery boxes with 10 thousand leadership tokens each. These are possible rewards, but they are not shown on the Mystery Box tab.
> My question for you Jeff and anyone is did you get anything other than managers?
This event and the last couple events I have managed to open all 100 mystery boxes. I have received all the possible rewards. I can confirm that it is possible to receive the other rewards even though they are not shown. The only thing that changes between events are what managers are available. The number of manager cards available is always the same. The other rewards are usually the same as well. The only thing I've ever seen change with the other rewards (that I can remember) is the number of leadership tokens at the 10 million level. Sometimes it is just 1 million for some reason.
I remember when they used to show all the possible rewards on the Mystery Box tab, so I know that was a thing. When I started playing again and saw they were only showing the Managers, I assumed they were just adding more "mystery" to the Mystery Box by hiding the possible rewards that are always available. I wish they would still show all the items possible since it was easier to keep track of what I had received and what was left among the remaining boxes. It would also let newer players know that there are more than just manager cards available.
Hopefully that all makes sense and is helpful.

OMG. Thank you. You are always helpful. When the event is over I will put an edit of what you just said, as -is, dont change it ,over in tips section. I may include some of their other game as well but I need someone to try Royal and see if the logic matches. There are a lot of tips over there.
Back to what you said! I hardly purchase the managers that are yellow or blue until late in the game. Right up front I blow my allowance and get 500 gold to kickstart the Holy Trinity if possible, or a producer to make a set of 3.
So once one purchases a Managers that are in the mystery box **other things appear. ** Doh!
I will put that down as feedback. Since they are changing things that would help.
Wow, just wow. thank you very much I'm getting excited for Thursday now.

Just to be clear, the other rewards are available immediately from the Mystery Box, there is no prerequisite. All the manager cards and all of the other rewards are possible from the first box you open. Currently there is no indication in the game that you can or will receive other rewards and there is nothing on the Mystery Box tab that will show you what rewards you have received other than the manager cards.
I like to think about it like this, you are standing at the door to a room filled with 100 locked boxes. Next to the door is a sign with a list of 56 potential items inside the boxes. There are still 44 other boxes, but you don't know what is in them. A person with a key stands next to the door and offers to unlock 1 box, any box, for 100 tokens. You pick, at random, 1 of the 100 boxes. The person unlocks the box and you find inside 5 manager cards. The person tells you that for 200 tokens, they will open another box for you. You pick, at random, 1 of the 99 remaining locked boxes. The person unlocks the box and inside it you find 10 million leaderboard tokens! Now you know that one of the 44 unlisted items was 10 million leaderboard tokens. You continue coming back to the room with more tokens to give the person attending the room until you have opened all 100 boxes. Once the event is over, the person locks the room until the next event. When the next event begins, you return to the room to find all 100 boxes are once again locked and there is a new list of 56 potential rewards.
Hope that helps! :)

Thank you for explanation. I get all of it (45+ year programmer here lol) but the basic part> I guess I still do not understand.
If the other rewards are available you say they can be goitten right away. But I have to purchase one of the managers first right. ALL I see are five managers to pick from. You say that the other awards are available immedietely, yes, but they are not VISIBLE immedietely, thats what you mean?
Like eggs in my fridgerator that are available right now but when I open the door they are hidden behind the milk. All I see are five bottles of milk is what I am saying. So I would have to take out the milk in order to see the rest.
Two events now, even after I get a manager card, I just see manager cards, even if they change for another one. Just bad luck. Royal Idle plays the same as the old idle Frontier if you need an example. When they changed to the new interface for ticket trade in I got messed up. Maybe I am just being slow tonight.
I think you are saying that it is like a pea-a-shell game. I keep picking up the shells hoping for a pea. I have picked up 20 shells, still no peas.
I might be misunderstanding something. There is no relationship between the manager cards and the other rewards. There is a loot pool with 100 possible rewards. You have an equal chance of getting any of the 100 rewards from the first box. Unfortunately, 56 of those rewards are manager cards, so you are still more likely to get manager cards overall. The other rewards will never appear in the Mystery Box UI, even after you have found them in a mystery box.
I have been ignoring the Royal Idle events because I put all my time into these events (I also hate how the pig looks on the app loading screen). The difference is just that the Idle Frontier trading UI has been simplified. I remember when Idle Frontier used to have that same UI. The mystery box portion of the Royal Idle event is the same as Idle Frontier except the non-manager card rewards have been removed from the UI in Idle Frontier. You will never see the other possible rewards on the Idle Frontier Mystery Box UI unless they add them back in a future update. Other than that, Royal Idle still has the same 100 boxes to open. The breakdown of the rewards is slightly different, but that is mainly because the Idle Frontier mystery box has increased the number of common manager cards you can get and so decreased the numbers of the other rewards.
jeff, thank you i understand. just bad luck
last two events, i got all manager cards.
With recent issues thought something was different
i liked the old presentation because you
could see what was left to win
i dont like the pig either , but i like the golems starting me up quicker
thanks for the incredible and detailed help

You would not believe what just happened to me.
I just got into the game first time today and the mystery box items are all there.
Just like it used to be. I'm being serious. I exited the game after taking a screenshot.
I exit because I wanted to See if it still worked. I thought perhaps I had gotten an update and I wanted to see if it was their permanent.
I went back into the event and it's back to just managers.
I got the second screenshot. So I was not imagining that I had those last event.
Wish there was a way to share The screenshots to prove it But I will hold onto it.
The managers and the scores match. The rest of the user interface matches. The first one today had the other items for the mystery boxes. The second time I ran the game it was just the managers again. I hope you believe me
if you look at the event feedback post in the same part of the forum Stephanie D 400 had it occurred to her back on October 7. She remarked that the other items from the mystery box was missing. So that means that she had been getting them all along just like me.
Jeff, now I understand why we were having a communication issue.
For you you no longer saw the other items other than managers for the mystery box cintents.
. But I had been seeing them all along and so did Stephanie D 400
Again I wish it was a way to show you the screenshots.
I believe you. It used to be that way. I stopped playing the game for a while and only came back a few months ago. I know it used to show everything, like Royal Idle, but this just seemed like one of a handful of things that changed while I was gone. It was mostly just inconvenient for me. I always focus on trading event tokens for mystery box tokens first, so I knew the other items were still there since I was still getting them.
This makes me think it might be a bug worth reporting.
thank you everybody. This was a week of weeks.
Next event HALLOWEEN. One of those events that they cannot force on us every 4 weeks ;-)
See you Thursday!
