My Singing Monsters

Mailbox (DoF)

Bulletin Board (DoF)

The Mailbox is a mechanic in My Singing Monsters that replaced the News menu in Version 2.1.0.

Description

The Mailbox is where all new things added to the game can be found. This includes, but is not limited to, promotions, new merchandise, teasers, and links to the MSM social media accounts.

The Mailbox can also give gifts to the player for various events and contests. Additionally, the Mailbox is used for the Monster-Handlers to send a compensatory gift to all players whenever Big Blue Bubble does a routine server maintenance or fixes a major global game bug.

Teasers

News cards often will have colored text, denoting when they're teasing a certain type of Monster.

Teal text is used for Rare Monsters. This teaser was for Rare Wynq.

It was also used here. Note how the text doesn't mention a Rare at all, but 'NEW' is in teal. This teaser was for Rare Stogg.

A fiery orange text is used for Fire Monsters. This teased PongPing.

A glowing yellow text is used for Epic Monsters. This teaser was for Epic Clamble.

Seasonals use a gradient from white to red. This teaser is for Boo'qwurm. The word 'book' is in a blue gradient, because all Seasonals, Islands, and events have their own gradients that are used in sales, such as Time of the Season.

Ethereals use two different text colors. For Single and Double-Element Ethereals, a gradient from green to teal is used. For the Ethereal Workshop Monsters, a similar red to green gradient is used.

Teaser for Ethereal Workshop. This was the first time the red-green color gradient was used, making it more of a surprise.

News

The News was where all new information within My Singing Monsters could be found. It has since been replaced by Mailbox, in Version 2.1.0. This included, but was not limited to, promotions, new merchandise, system messages and links to the MSM social media accounts. Promotions such as Daily Deals, a Rare Duet, and special events were also located in the News tab. To view an article in the News, one would've had to tap "View" to the right of the article.

Articles in the News were classified by five different symbols: the star, the hourglass, the newspaper, the traffic cone, and social.

• The star symbol designated the release of something new such as a new monster or MSM merchandise.
• Articles with the hourglass symbol meant the promotion was only for a limited amount of time.
• The newspaper symbol was used for player polls and MSM gear.
• The traffic cone symbol was used for system messages that indicated technical changes such as the discontinuation of Community Codes.
• The social symbol meant the article related to something community-oriented such as community competitions. The MSM social media accounts were also designated by the social symbol.

Troubleshooting

On some devices, the News button would become "buggy" and not respond or be slow to player command.

If the problem persists for a while, the My Singing Monsters' Facebook Page or Twitter Page would be used to search for the desired info, as posts were made as soon as in-game changes are done.

Having a Facebook or Twitter account was not required, as using search sites can grant access to Facebook without having to log in.
