How to Create a Mystery Box Subscription in App

❓ What is a Mystery Box?

A Mystery Box is a subscription concept that delivers a curated selection of surprise products to customers at regular intervals, such as monthly or quarterly.

The offering is designed to create engagement and delight through themed or carefully selected items.
​
​Example:
A specialty coffee brand may provide a monthly Mystery Box containing premium coffee beans, brewing accessories, and limited-edition blends, offering subscribers a varied and exclusive experience each month.
