It’s that time of the week again, the Mystery Game has arrived! This week’s entry focuses on everybody favorite flyin’, feathered friends, birds! Each Mystery Dart this week will run you 18 FV Cash per shot.
As you can see, this week did not go so well for us. You wouldn’t guess it by looking at the picture, but we actually started off on fire this week, going five for five with the top row of balloons. We always go top shelf to start and always recommend it, as we have good results at the top. Of course, things took a turn for the worse when we tried to obtain…
The White Barn Owl, otherwise known as our great FV Cash nemesis since we burned through so much to acquire it, is a gorgeous new Owl for the FarmVille players out there who are like us and just can’t get enough of the Owls in the game. We really love the design of the actual Owl in this one, with its white trim around the bottom of its chin and the light tan face in a heart shape. It is a really beautiful Owl, though considering it is a decorative piece instead of a collective Animal, we question every time something you get nothing in return from is in one of the Rare slots of the Mystery Game.
On the flipside of this argument is something that you not only collect Coins from, but can receive rare Mystery Eggs from when placed inside of the Chicken Coop: the Sussex Chicken, a brand new English Countryside-themed Chicken that fits the part. This guy slightly resembles your average FarmVille Chicken with a few exceptions; most notably that it has black “Rorschach test”-type print patterns in black that resembles the psychological association exam. We also love the fact that it is more of a smoked gray color than plain white. It gives away English Countryside Eggs, for those interested.
Onto the Uncommon releases in this Mystery Game, the first of which is the Tufted Duck, a new addition to the Duck Pond to make all of your visiting neighbors a little more jealous. We got to be honest, the Tufted Duck rocks, and the reason is in the eyeliner: look at those gorgeous purple rings that envelop the eyes of this new aviary buddy of ours. Otherwise, this guy is a pretty standard-looking Duck, isn’t he? Good thing for a little bit of make-up!
The second Uncommon item in this week’s Mystery Game is another decorative piece to add to your bird collection, and a worthy one at that. The Kingfisher Decoration is a pair of two Kingfisher birds perched atop a floral-adorned branch, and features the beloved “Fly!” option that all of the decorative birds have. These birds themselves are truly beautiful, albeit a little too small to see. They are a glorious shade of teal across their backs, with their stomachs exposing their true, gold colors. This is the perfect addition to the Uncommon slot.
As for the Commons, which we received a lot of, we have the Grey Heron. Truth be told, this is probably our favorite addition to the Mystery Game this week, though it is mostly a crapshoot based on preferences. We love cranes in real life, so seeing the Grey Heron, a bird which is not entirely dissimilar to the crane or stork, so accurately portrayed is a definite plus. One issue that we have with it is the fact that it is has the same animation as a common Chicken, which seems a little… off.
Lastly, wrapping up this week’s Mystery Game is the final Common selection, the English Partridge. This little fellow is the perfect Common to receive, as it can be collected from, is very small and thus easy to find a space on your farm to store duplicates, and is completely unique in its design. It has an off-gray color around its body with little specks of brown, somewhat similar to a pigeon’s gray-on-black markings. It flutters its wings softly, though the animation is minimal.
All-in-all, nothing truly blew us away in this week’s Mystery Game, but if you love birds, toss a dart or two.
