Editorial Review
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 todays 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 its always been as players move their pieces around a simple game board and then open a door to see which boy theyll imaginarily go on a date with: the popular snowboarder, the suave fellow in a tux, or the nerd carrying a load of books. Its a bit disappointing that the academic kid must be seen as the loser in this game but at least the games makers have kept tradition alive.
