So what horrible mystery tasks is everyone getting ? I always get the ones I’d never ever choose normally ! So far for me I’ve had
1st task -9 cowboys, luckily I had 42 town people ready in anticipation
2nd task - fishing, was ok used boosters & just finished
3rd- make 20 honey toast 😕!!! No booster, going to take 16 hrs !! 😂- don’t think I’ll remain in 1st place !! Ha ha !

I have just started - my hoodies are still asleep. Lucky them!
I drew serve 16 townies in the spa. I had 6 finished, and found 6 more to load. Hoping that when those are finished there will be more available to pick up. I’m not counting on that. So I may be enticed to call the Eggspress train early.

I am not fond of the Mystery Derby. It’s my least favorite of all the types.
I think the tasks this time are much harder than other Mystery Derbies that I have played before.
This is what I got so far-
12 raspberry candles
7 Ladies w/blue hat
101lbs- fishing
25 trucks
12 townies in the Theater

Horrible derby. But… it makes you play all aspects of the game.
Day trip task
Fishing x 98lbs
Town x 20
Pets task
Breakfast task
Feed X 168
Dancer x 8
Strawberry candle x 9
Mine x84
Deliveryx25
So far.
Guess we all will grind through it! Good luck

I’ve finished now - definitely not the tasks I normally choose ! But the rest of mine were
4th - produce & collect 11 taco
5th- 4 boats
6th- 6 actresses
7th- 21 trucks
8th- harvest 470 carrots
9th- produce 15 tomato juice ( totally lucked out that I had these already stacked after having a tomato growing task last week on the farm pass & being left with tons of tomatoes ! -otherwise I’d be still going !😂)
Bought 10th another fishing.
I used boosters wherever possible.
I like hearing about what other people got for their tasks !

Gosh! I feel so behind.
After my 16 Spa townies I drew produce & collect 12 Toffee.
Next I drew fill 23 truck orders. The barn was full so I could even be a little picky, and finished that on pretty quick.
I am currently on produce and collect 17 Blue wooly hats.
Getting the blue wooly hat task reminded me to always check the expiration. That task expires in just under 18 hours. If your loom has 3 star mastery it’s 51 minutes per hat.

Wow! I admire your contribution with that kind of derby. It's nothing for me because I don't like it not to know what I get. To make things worse the game can be mean and give you some very ugly tasks.
No, thanks, I pass. And so does my sister-in-law. Not very long and we are on the bottom of the league. But the bright side is...if we decide to participate some day again we have less tasks to finish. 😉

I used to enjoy and look forward to the mystery derby, but not anymore. This one has broke me off.
I’m not a big fan of the derby these days and this week just makes me want to give up the derby once and for all.
The task that I have been getting are horrible and painful. Kudos to those that finish all their task!

We really only derby for permits and puzzle pieces. |

While the top3 is already finished days ago I have gotten:
- 24 helps
- serve 16 visitors in beachcafe
- deliver 21 trucks
- harvest 640 corn
- complete 3 boats
- serve 13 visitors in grocery
- serve 22 visitors in town completely
- harvest 225 chilipeper
- serve 21 visitors in town completely
and the final one: serve 7 actresses fully, and from the 42 visitors I have none is the one I need.
50% town tasks this derby, I even dislike the town more now. 😂😇🤔

This will be my last mystery derby. They are no longer fun .
My main farm completed 9 tasks. Mining 96 ore, serve 8 mechanics, 77 milk,21 town visitors, 3 boats, 375 rice,7 grand masters, 14 spa,13 apple juice
My second farm is struggling working on the fourth task. 12 roasted tomatoes (1 hr 16 minutes each), 290 chili peppers (4 hours ) 13 olive oil (38 minutes each)11 strawberry candles 1 hr. 42 minute each). I usually do town tasks and crops so hadn’t prepared any of those.

winston I am very sorry for the bad pick you are confronted with. Of course it's not always this way, you can be lucky. But I made the experience that I mostly was unlucky with the chosen tasks. I really feel with you...🥶😒

Thank you donkeyfan. I’m not complaining, just saying this particular type of derby is not fun for me. Could be worse I guess. My team mate just got a task to make 24 honey toast at 51 minutes each!

Weird thing I noticed….
My wife and I play together in derby. We were going for the first time in almost 3 years without deleting a single task.
I finished my mystery task, the wife still had one on the hook. The entire board was normal derby tasks, no mystery. So I would have to delete a task to get a mystery task to appear. It wouldn’t matter if I had waited for her to finish, the whole board would still be normal tasks.
So… We had no choice but to delete a task.
I delete 200-500 tasks per derby depending on what type of derby. I love trashing tasks. But I thought I really had this one in the bag trash free… oh well.
Back to trashing tasks.
Happy hay day y’all.

Very busy week. Finally finished my tasks yesterday. Not things I would've picked for the most part:
4 boats - hired Tom to get through them quickly
20 town - I would've picked this and had them ready
260 potatoes - I actually like crop tasks
27 trucks - ugh, I no like trucks
100 lbs fish - not great but not horrible
22 trucks - again, double ugh
4 boats - sigh, at least I still had Tom
92 lbs fish - no lures left from last fishing task so took forever
475 carrots - phew! Ended on an easy one
All in all, despite the tasks I would usually avoid, I've enjoyed the mystery derby. I like the challenge of being surprised and unprepared.

abidiNice description, made me laugh. 😁 Very interesting to read about the different play styles. I know I'd be annoyed from some tasks, and it'd be sure that I would get them. I like to finish a derby as quick as possible and I don't like surprises, especially bad surprises. So I skip. Next derby in which I participate will appear in July. In the meantime I can do things which suit me more. 😉 ducktown2021 Your tasks are comfortable. I'd like the town tasks most. 😉

Lol, not if you need visitors and none of the 42 are the ones your looking for. I ignore town most of the times, unless there is something new with regard to the town with the new update. It’s to much labor for me compared to the rewards I get from the townies. But others just like serving visitors, for me it’s the same like feeding the animals. 😂😇😉🫢

ducktown2021I made the opposite experience with the town. It's explicit (!) the town which helped me to grow and provided me with the desired needs. Some time ago I used the "strength" from the town to force the advancement. In my experience it was easily done, without any stress. Of course serving ALL townies, no matter what they want, and of course keeping track of progress. But I think main reason is that my town is fully developed a long time ago and I soon found out that this place is the best (for me!) to advance. In fact you have to LIKE the town (it's a mind-thing), and it's VERY helpful when the town is ready. That is the jumping point. In the past I only used my town (mostly, preferable), if I wanted to reach a special goal, or something else in the game. Since the game-style differ, it's only logical that you found another way whicht suits you most. And so it's meant to be.  BTW, currently I am in a more relaxed mood, taking things easier, and this also applies to my town. But it's still my favorite place.
