We Love the Curiosity Box!

I have been sending the curiosity box to my Grandson for about 3 years. He loved every box that was sent to him and always looked forward to the next shipment.
He recently graduated from high school and is attending The University of Alaska. Thankfully, you are shipping his great adventure box to the college for him.
He has saved every box and will be able to use them again, I am sure. Maybe in his classroom.
We love the Curiosity Box!

Great gift

Wish I had known about it sooner so I could have enjoyed some of the earlier mind-benders from past boxes. A great gift for inquisitive children- and adults.

I'm always excited to get a new…

I'm always excited to get a new curiosity box. I've been getting them for about 2 years now. There is always an eclectic mix of stuff inside. Some things I give away to my grandchildren, some I keep on a shelf at home for display. Others stay in the box for future use. I'm also eager to wear any new shirt, hat, socks, or whatever clothing item when included.

Horrible from the start

Horrible from the start. Pieces were missing from the first box. They sent a second one… not just the missing stuff.
Second box, big deal gadget broken/ doesn’t work. AND my T-shirt was printed upside down. I’m a fool. Don’t you be one too!

Hi Monica - this certainly isn't the experience we hoped you would have. We weren't able to ship you the individual item you requested so we shipped you an entire new box to give you the best experience possible. The T-shirts this season were intentionally printed upside down (they're wearable reference guides so you can access the information while wearing it). We hope you'll stick around for another box and give us the chance to meet your expectations-we're always available via support@curiositybox.com if you have further questions.

Total rip-off

Total rip-off. I cancelled my subscription because they sent 2 identical boxes, but they kept charging, so I did a chargeback, successfully, and now they have come back with some total BS trying to take that money away again. Total, utter, scam.

the dice set is cool!

When I first subscribed to Curiosity Box I only wanted the dice set. But after waiting for 2 months I received a box that has a tshirt, a beanie, and a math book. So obviously I was not happy given how low effort that is for a $80 box. That made me feel like they scammed the customers by failing to deliver the very thing that made a ton of people subscribe to, which is the dice set.

However, I did receive a dice set few months later. It was a good box and made up for the first box. The build yourself starry night light was a pleasant surprise. The dice set was as good as I imagined, great for collectors. I did get charged for the second box despite being unsubscribed, but not mad about it. The second box was definitely worth the price. First box tho...not so much. guess that's the risk of surprise boxes lol
