I can’t remember. Does the number of mystery tasks depend on the number of players opted in? Maybe it’s just always 4.

IIRC, there will be no more than 4, no matter how many players are opted in. The pattern has been that there are no more than 4 of a particular type of task on the board at any given time.

You are correct mom's car. Only 4 mystery on board at a time. Trashing is important so that all 4 will pop up.

We have had such horrible experiences with mystery derbies that we don't even do the mystery part any more. We just try to get the 320s. Especially with bunnies thrown in.
Does anyone have any insight on if there is a way to trash so that you end up with no purple boxes on the board? I know the answer is most likely no... but if there is a way...someone here will know! 😀

so four mystery tasks on the board, but also being worked at. I tried and spent the diamonds speeding up a task on the board but no mystery tasks showed up, I gave up after 3 tries.

You could be lucky and the board might not have the max of 4 but that’s about it. 320s seem to be a bit more rare during mystery derby too. I believe that mystery bunny derbies shouldn’t be a thing anymore but that this one slipped through, it’s a horrible combination I agree. |

If there are 4 mystery tasks on the board then no more will show, no matter what you do. So save yourself the trouble and diamonds. the only trashing needed during mystery derby is when someone takes a task and then trash all non mystery so a mystery is bound to show up. Sometimes if 1 mystery is taken its not replaced with a mystery task giving you less options which might be bad especially with bunny times and several players in the derby |

I agree with you, kat. The combination from Mystery and Bunny is not a good idea. And I don't know why SC has decided to do so....  I think Mystery can be without the bunnies already very tough, but with them....  . If you have an unfavorable mix of tasks it's in my opinion hardly doable considering the bunny times. The tasks are unpredictable, that's how Mystery is supposed to be. Insofar bunnies are inappropiate. That's how I see it. |

So you can get more mystery tasks during 10 mins bunny time. Our NH did it, we got 9 mystery tasks during bunny time. |

The tasks are unpredictable, that's how Mystery is supposed to be. Insofar bunnies are inappropiate. That's how I see it. A lot has to do with the goals/priorities you set. How you prepare for a derby. It’s doable to catch all bunny’s, is doable to do all 10 400 tasks. If you strive for the max you most likely will not place top3 and might not even place top12. Its all about choices. I like this kind of combo derby, with the standard derby almost everybody has the same priorities I think and it’s hard to place top3 if you don’t have time on your side. my 2 cents. |

If you complete a task it will take 30 minutes before it’s replaced, unless you use diamonds to speeds it up. |

You trash no mystery tasks about 26 mins before bunny appear, so if you NH member took the mystery task immediately when bunny comes, so these task have been trashed before will appear during 10 mins bunny time as mystery tasks. trashed no mystery task will be mystery tasks mostly, but you need to trash these tasks with a time period taken mystery task of course will not appear, less with diamond |

That’s definitely a trick you can use with larger derby sizes and if you stagger the trashing a bit the board doesn’t fill up at once in case some get a quick task. So If someone takes a mystery and another spot spawns a few seconds later that can be a mystery task. But either way. There cant be more then 4 on the board up for grabs at any time. |

We strive to be not bottom 3 when it's a mystery. Lol. Just do it as a regular bunny.
We are finding this particular one very frustrating with even getting 320 tasks. Most are showing up well under 300.

My hood is currently doing mystery derby with 2. It’s very possible to have 4 on the board while we’re both working on one. |

But players in big size hoods can maybe confirm that you can only have 4 on the board at the same time, but be working on more like june2019 wrote. good to know that this works in a similar way like the blossom taks with regard to trashing the tasks staggered in time. |

Agree, no more than 4 at any time, you need take the mystery task immediately when more than 4 member are waiting for task. |

We have 12 in the Derby, 8 currently working on a mystery task and there are 4 available to chose from on the board. I don't do much maintenance with trashing, but I have never had more then 4 "?" to chose from. |

The next to appear isn’t guaranteed to be a mystery task when the board is empty unlike blossom derbies. however when the board is empty there’s a good chance a few mysteries will spawn. Still JuneRain’s trick will work well if you have several derby players. Let’s say you trash all non mystery tasks 26 minutes before bunny time is expected. then when bunny time arrives 4 players take a mystery task off the board. 4 minutes later with still 6 minutes bunny time left the trashed tasks will refresh and a few will be mystery tasks. now if you stagger the trashing a bit and play larger derbies it’s quite possible to get a lot of mystery tasks in the 8 empty spots within mystery derby. Its certainly a good strategy. |

There’s usually no need to do much maintenance with trashing, you can never have more then 4 mystery tasks available for grabbing on the board at any given time. It is a good idea to trash non mystery tasks when mystery tasks are taken so there’s room for new to spawn. If you want to do a little trashing management which only really works if lots are online for bunny time to grab tasks with your derby size then JuneRain’s strategy might be a good idea. |

JuneRains tip really worked well for us! Thanks. Even though we have a small NH, we were hoping for the opportunity to be able to take a 2nd Mystery task before bunny time was over. Unfortunately, the derby gods were not smiling on us.
Three players taking tasks, we drew a Chilly Task, Sweaters and Raspberry Candles. 😩
