Amaze amaze

The items were all very interesting and thought provoking. Although expensive I feel the box price is justified with what comes in it. The shirts always grab people’s attention when I’m out, so that’s nice. Overall highly recommend.

Long-time subscriber (7+ yrs)

The boxes have really increased in quality over the years, as the team listens to feedback and expands the offerings. Any time I’ve had to contact the customer care team, they’ve been helpful and prompt in fixing small issues. Combined with the contributions to Alzheimer's research, it’s a great project, with thoughtful and unique items, for a great reason.

The assassin bottle

My son's super happy about the Bottle, he wanted it from the very beginning when it was launched. And finally he has it, very magical experience, yet it is science:)
The support team is very helpful and responsive, I can highly recommend as overall experience is great.

Love this box, and love the staff.

Love this box. I had it for multiple cycles. I recently hit some financial issues and could not afford this box. Much like a lot of others, I did not think about canceling it. Woke up to a negative balance and panicked. I emailed support and same day, on a Sunday, they canceled my payment and began the refund process. Amazing product, amazing team. This company is more than just an influencer's brand and face, it is his respect for his fans. If finances allow, I will be renewing my subscription.

I absolutely love Curiosity Box

I absolutely love Curiosity Box! It’s so refreshing to see how thoughtfully they design their boxes for both teens and adults. Every box feels creative, unique, and packed with fun discoveries that spark curiosity and learning. You can really tell how much care goes into each one—I look forward to every new box!

If you are a science nerd, you NEED this!

If you are a science nerd or a Vsauce fan, this is what you NEED to have! There is so much thought that's put into the boxes and you'll have such good conversation starters at your home with each box.

Excellent customer service

"Though we loved the quality of the Curiosity Box, we feel it's a bit out of our budget at the moment to continue, and look forward to a subscription of a Mel science experiment kit when we are financially able. We thank you for the opportunity and your customer service, that alone, goes above and beyond!"

A nerd's review of the box.

To start, these boxes are worth it, IF you like to think. The title of the service seems obvious, but that really is the point. Each box I've received has caused me to do more research on the subject matter of the box itself. Each theme leading to something new I can learn. I can't think of a geeky/nerdy mail order box of curated items that would be more interesting to receive. Customer service is fantastic. One month, I did have one of the more delicate items come in damaged. After reaching out to support, they offered me a refund for the damaged item, but I requested if they were able to find any others that were not damaged, for a replacement instead. At a later time, they were able to ship a replacement item, and that still sits on my desk. If you have thought about this service enough to come looking for reviews, please allow this to be a message to you. The Curiosity Box is fun, interesting, and worth it.
