Mystery Date (game)

Mystery Date is a board game from the Milton Bradley Company released in 1965, conceived by Marvin Glass and created by Henry Stan.

After assembling a three-piece outfit in a single color, the player can open a large plastic "mystery door" set into the center of the board to reveal one of five different dates.

Future Captain America actor Chris Evans is on the box using the phone as "Tyler", the "beach" date.

The book Timeless Toys described Mystery Date as if it were the result of crossing "Barbie in all her high-fashion glory with 1965's biggest game show, Let's Make a Deal".

[3] Having played it as a child, Michelle Slatalla of The New York Times in the 2000s retrospectively called the game's premise "politically incorrect".
