Mysterious Old Man

The Mysterious Old Man is a RuneScape random event. He is a helpful event that does a number of things.

Mystery box
The Mysterious Old Man may give players a mystery box. If opened, a simple question of matching the number/shape to the shape/number on the box will be given and if answered correctly, a mystery prize will be given (usually gp or gems). If the question is answered incorrectly, another mystery box will appear. Over time, if box has not been opened, the box will multiply and eventually fill a player's inventory. It cannot be dropped and if attempted to; the original box will stay and another will appear in their inventory. Only the original mystery box contains a prize

Appearance
The Mysterious Old Man will sometimes appear without giving anything and will not leave until players talk to him. Quickly talking to him will make him give gp or items. If ignored, he will teleport players to a random place in Runescape.

Maze
Sometimes the man will appear and send players into a maze. Players who quickly find their way to the centre of the maze will be given a price and be teleported back to where they originally were. The faster they are, the better the prize. There are chests throughout the maze which have items inside and time can be spent to search for them but the final prize is a lot larger.
