Whatever subscription plan you sign up for, all CrunchLabs boxes include:

• Exclusive Mark Rober videos
• materials and project components
• a booklet with picture-based instructions
• STEM concept explanations
• activities and challenges that take the toy to the next level
• a gear badge that celebrates featured engineering superpower

Check out Build Box and Hack Pack specific information in the FAQ below!

Which subscription is right for you? Compare CrunchLabs products and find out!

If you’re subscribed to the CrunchLabs Build Box subscription, you will receive 1 box per month for as long as you are subscribed! We have DOZENS of toys lined up for years of engineering education and fun.

If you’re subscribed to the CrunchLabs Hack Pack subscription, you will receive 6 boxes, or 1 box every other month, for as long as you are subscribed.

Not right now. We put a lot of thought into the sequencing of Build Boxes to optimize learning and having an awesome good time. We carefully consider the types of projects and underlying mechanisms that help kids gain engineering superpowers through the Gear Badges. What we’re saying is, trust us, you’re gonna have a blast.

No, each monthly Build Box or bi-monthly Hack Pack box is its own unique and special snowflake. We won’t send the same box twice in a subscription. You are able to view the boxes you’ve received on your account dashboard. If you have questions or concerns, helpful nerds are standing by at [email protected].

Plus, we have YEARS of toys lined up for you. It's a journey :)

Yes! We don’t know how to shut off our brains, so we’re always thinking about new ideas. 

• Build Box: CrunchLabs Build Box subscription launched in 2022,  designed for kids ages 8+.
• Hack Pack: In April of 2024, CrunchLabs Hack Pack subscription launched, and this time it's for anyone age 14+.

We hope to offer more subscriptions and products in the future, so please visit our website and watch Mark Rober’s monthly videos for updates.

Once your order is placed we hustle to fulfill it in 1 to 3 business days. If you’re in the United States, your Build Box or Hack Pack should be in your hands within 4 to 7 business days.

We couldn’t do CrunchLabs without Earth, so we believe the best way to inspire responsible engineering is to lead by example:

• Our packaging is compostable. We use an uncoated cardboard box and compostable plastic substitutes to package and ship our boxes - Our toys are for kids to play with, not sea turtles to eat.
• Our toys grow on trees. We use as much wood as possible in the design of our toys.
• Our toys stay out of the landfill longer. We make our toys robust and repairable so they can be enjoyed for as long as possible.

It is our policy not to accept unsolicited submissions of creative material. We hope you understand that it is the intent of this policy to avoid the possibility of future misunderstandings when projects developed by our professional staff might seem to others to be similar to their own creative work.

We love press! Please shoot our team an email at [email protected].

CrunchLabs is for anyone who loves learning! CrunchLabs Build Boxes are designed for kids ages 8-12+, but plenty of other kids and adults have enjoyed them too! Build alone or build with friends and family! Hack Pack boxes are designed for teens 14+ and adults, and really, anybody who is interested in fun, coding, and robotics.

Actually yeah! It’s a big warehouse in California that we converted into the ultimate design and engineering space. The only warehouse in the whole state, in fact, with a secret entrance through a claw machine.

We love our secret lab so much that we want to share it – that’s why we have a Platinum Ticket* to let lucky Build Box winners come and visit, and our brand new Platinum Diploma Sweepstakes** that enters each Hack Pack subscriber into a twice a year drawing for the chance to win $80,000 to put towards college and a trip to CrunchLabs to hang out with Mark Rober.

*No Purchase Necessary. Ends 5/31/24. 50 U.S. & D.C., 18+. See Official Rules for full details 

**No Purchase Necessary. Ends 4/30/25. 50 U.S & D.C. 14+. See Official Rules  for full details.

Basically, we’re a company full of well educated grownups with child imaginations. We’re always thinking up TONS of toy ideas, and then prototype the ones that are the most exciting.

After that, we keep prototyping, and then prototype some more, and then cut the ones that don’t make us giggle till we pee, and then get some helpful kids and lucky adults to play with the ones that do, and then guess what? More prototypes, and then something stops working, so we make more prototypes, and then we think it’s finished, and then somebody goes “what if…” and we all go, that’s way more awesome, so then (you know where this is going)… new prototype, tons of fun, we giggle somebody pees, and it goes on like that.

Basically we keep building and testing and rebuilding and retesting until it’s as awesome as it can be. “Think Like an Engineer” is our internal motto too, so only the best of the very best, A+, all-star, home run ideas make into your Build Box or Hack Pack subscription.

Each Build Box contains a chance to win a Platinum Ticket*, not unlike the Golden Ticket in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. How’s it work? One Build Box is selected at random and a little extra piece of hardware goes inside. The lucky winners visit the real life CrunchLabs to meet & create with Mark Rober. 

*No Purchase Necessary. Ends 5/31/25. 50 U.S. & D.C., 18+. See Official Rules.

We've had the Platinum Ticket since our start, and now we're so excited to introduce you to the Platinum Diploma Sweepstakes*! Each Hack Pack subscriber is entered into a twice-a-year drawing for the chance to win $80,000 to put towards college and a trip to CrunchLabs to hang out with Mark Rober. 

*No Purchase Necessary. Ends 5/31/25. 50 U.S. & D.C., 18+. See Official Rules.

Build Box is a monthly build-it-yourself STEM toy for kids ages 8-12+. Each Build Box is centered on a different engineering concept (or superpower), and features a toy that utilizes that superpower for kids to build, learn, and play with. When shown the toys and videos, 9 out of 10 of our kid testers freaked out – the 10th was too busy playing with the toy to answer our survey!

OK that’s two questions, but here goes. We design each toy to be a little bit challenging for kids 8 to 12 years old, in the same way a good puzzle is challenging. But ours comes with a step-by-step illustrated instruction booklet along with a video of Mark Rober walking kids through each step. We test with 8-12 year olds extensively and prototype for months to make sure each toy is a smooth and enjoyable build. With the help of the video, the instruction booklet, and a dash of tenacity, tons of kids are nailing it and successfully and independently building and playing with Build Box.

CrunchLabs Build Boxes are designed for kids ages 8-12+, but plenty of other kids and adults have enjoyed them too! Build 'em alone or build 'em with friends and family! We know some 30 year olds around here who can’t stop sneak attacking each other with disc launchers. We test every product with third-party testing agencies to ensure the products comply with US and EU safety standards for kids ages 8-years and older. Parents and guardians can gauge the appropriateness for their kids, but we have worked hard to ensure that they’re a blast for the intended age range.

Nope! We think we thought of everything! All the stuff you need to make the toy is included in the Build Box, even batteries. You will need an Internet connection and a kid-safe device to watch the Mark Rober video episode, but you don’t need the video episode to complete the build! In the booklet, we do offer ideas for additional games and challenges that may require other materials – but those are supplemental and not required for the main build and play.

BUT, sometimes in engineering, stuff goes wrong. If on the off chance there are parts missing, go to your account dashboard and visit the webpage for your Build Box. Fill out the form to request missing parts. If you have further questions contact [email protected].  

It depends! We try to make each build 30 to 60 minutes on average for an 8-12 year old. If your kid likes to take a lot of snack breaks, or there’s a pesky sibling, or they can’t stop laughing because the dog fell off the couch, or they just need to clear their head by running around in circles, they can always come back later to finish.

Currently, we don’t offer an option to purchase individual Build Boxes (though that may come down the road). We have crafted MULTIPLE years of engineering fun and learning, so we think a subscription is the best.

If you want to be the first to hear about what we’ve got in store, join our mailing list (at the bottom of this page)!

To get our Build Box subscription boxes, you’ll need to subscribe. We may offer other subscriptions or stand alone products in the future, but not currently.

We couldn’t do CrunchLabs without Earth, so we believe the best way to inspire responsible engineering is to lead by example:

• Our packaging is compostable. We use an uncoated cardboard box and compostable plastic substitutes to package and ship our boxes - Our toys are for kids to play with, not sea turtles to eat.
• Our toys grow on trees. We use as much wood as possible in the design of our toys.

Our toys stay out of the landfill longer. We make our toys robust and repairable so they can be enjoyed for as long as possible.

Both Build Box subscriptions include all the components necessary to complete the assembly. That means the subscription is really designed to work best for only one user, so we recommend a subscription for each kid. Besides, how are you supposed to defend your position in a disc launcher battle with only one disc launcher?

But if you really would like to try it out, or you have really curious younger siblings who aren’t ready for their own box yet, siblings and parents can build together to get started. Of course, we can help add extra subscriptions down the line.

Not necessarily, but the Build Box extras are designed to be, well, extras for specific toys in the CrunchLabs Build Box subscription. That’s not to say you can’t figure out something fun to do with a pack of extra disc launcher disks… think like an engineer! You’ll come up with something!

Of course! We test every product with third-party testing agencies to ensure the products comply with US and EU safety standards for kids ages 8-years and older. The safety standards check for whether the toy is safe and sturdy for its intended play, and that unsafe chemicals don’t make their way into the toy during production.

First of all, you rock for being a teacher, and because you’re inquiring about CrunchLabs Build Boxes, you’re apparently a really cool one, too. To answer your question, yes! We offer a 10% discount on orders of 20-200 build boxes, and a 15% discount on orders larger than 200 build boxes. Whether you want to order for your classroom, after school club, or homeschool cooperative, we can help.

We also offer tax exempt orders if qualified. Please submit proof of your tax exempt status when requesting a quote.

Please checkout our new Educators page!

Each Build Box contains a chance to win a Platinum Ticket*, not unlike the Golden Ticket in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. How’s it work? One Build Box is selected at random and a little extra piece of hardware goes inside. The lucky winners visit the real life CrunchLabs to meet & create with Mark Rober. 

*No Purchase Necessary. Ends 5/31/25. 50 U.S. & D.C., 18+. See Official Rules.

Yes! You can pause your subscription at any time for up to 3 months by accessing your account dashboard. You can also reverse a paused subscription at any time. If you're having trouble pausing your subscription you can always contact customer service ([email protected]) to pause or unpause for you. Helpful nerds are standing by!

Well this question is a bummer. We want to do everything within our power to make sure you have a great experience with CrunchLabs. Please call or email us at [email protected] to share your concerns. But if you must cancel your upcoming Build Boxes:

• Pay Annually plans: 12 month prepaid annual subscriptions are not eligible for early cancellation. If you’re not satisfied, call or email us at [email protected]. 
• Pay Monthly plans: 12 month annual subscriptions on a monthly payment plan are annual subscriptions and are not eligible for early cancellation. If you’re not satisfied, call or email us at [email protected].
• Pay Quarterly plans: 3 month subscriptions can be canceled at any time at the end of the 3 month billing period.

For any subscription, if you do not wish to receive the next month's Build Box, please turn off auto-renewal three days prior to your next billing date (as shown through your account dashboard). And if your subscription is currently processing an order or shipment, you may not see the option to turn off auto-renewal until after the order is shipped.

We’re pretty stoked you and your young engineers are growing your brains so much with Build Boxes. Hack Pack is the perfect next step after a Build Box subscription. So, here’s what you need to know about switching subscriptions:

We will apply a credit of any unshipped Build Boxes towards the cost of the new annual Hack Pack subscription. This means you’re switching to Hack Pack right away and will start receiving your first Hack Pack boxes, hurray! But you will not be able to complete the year of Build Box – if switching from Build Box to Hack Pack still sounds like the right choice for you, reach out to [email protected] to get started.

Yes. At the end of each billing cycle (whether that’s monthly or annually or whatever you signed up from), your subscription will renew. However, you can change this at any time from your Account Dashboard once logged in.

For month-to-month subscriptions, you can pause or cancel your subscription. For all other subscriptions, you can turn off “auto renew”. Contact us at [email protected] if you need assistance.

Contact customer service at [email protected] to resolve unique situations such as requesting reactivation of a canceled Build Box subscription. 

No. We don’t store any credit card (or other payment method) information at CrunchLabs because we rely on a third-party payment processor. All credit card (or other payment method) information submitted on our website is secure and submitted directly to our processor. We take security seriously and we do not even temporarily store your credit card (or other payment method) information on our servers.

We currently accept payment through our website through Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Facebook Pay.

CrunchCoin / RoberBucks coming soon ;)

Hack Pack is a robot-in-a-box! Designed for ages 14+, the specially designed Hack Pack boxes guides anyone, from those new to coding to master hackers, into the world of Mechatronics where robotics and coding meet. Each box includes all the materials you need to build a robot at home, alongside Mark Rober’s YouTube videos - just like Build Box. But what really makes Hack Pack magical is its extra behind-the-scenes coding you can take off-rails. The computer brains of any of these robots can be hacked in a bunch of ways to completely level up the functionality.

Nope! Hack Pack robots will work right out of the box. Here’s the inside scoop: if you can put together a Lego set, you can definitely build these robots and we provide all the materials required.

But get this: Hack Pack can be completely leveled up by hacking the main computer controller, unlocking plenty of challenges and fun for anyone, from those new to coding to master hackers.

CrunchLabs Hack Pack subscription is designed for teens 14+ (even adults will love it!) We test every product with third-party testing agencies to ensure the products comply with US and EU safety standards for teens ages 14-years and older. Parents and guardians can gauge the appropriateness for their kids, but we have worked hard to ensure that they’re a blast for the intended age range.

Nope! We think we thought of everything! All the stuff you need to make the robots are included in the Hack Pack boxes, even batteries. You will need an Internet connection and a kid-safe device to watch the Mark Rober video episode, but you don’t need the video episode to complete the build! In the instructional booklet, we do offer ideas for additional games and challenges that may require other materials – but those are supplemental and not required for the main build and play.

BUT, sometimes in engineering, stuff goes wrong. If on the off chance there are parts missing, go to your account dashboard and visit the webpage for your Hack Pack box. Fill out the form to request missing parts. If you have further questions contact [email protected].

Currently, we don’t offer an option to purchase individual Hack Pack boxes. We have spent the last two years engineering all the mechatronically information and heady hacking fun into each box, so we think a subscription is the best.

If you want to be the first to hear about what we’ve got in store, join our mailing list (at the bottom of this page)!

Our Hack Pack boxes are designed for one user, so we recommend a subscription for each human. Besides, how are you supposed to defend your candy stash without a password protected IR Turret?!

Not necessarily, but the Hack Pack extras are designed to be, well, extras for specific boxes in the subscription. That’s not to say you can’t figure out something fun to do with a pack of extra foam darts… think like an engineer! You’ll come up with something!

Of course! We test every product with third-party testing agencies to ensure the products comply with US and EU safety standards for teens ages 14-years and older. The safety standards check for whether the robots are safe and sturdy for their intended play, and that unsafe chemicals don’t make their way into the toy during production.

It depends! We try to make each build 60 to 90 minutes on average for a 14+ year old. If your kid has homework to do, or there’s a pesky sibling, or they just need to clear their head by running around in circles, they can always come back later to finish.

Yes! You've got some symptom-to-solution solves :

• If your robot doesn't turn on, check out this handy dandy flow chart.
• If an electrical component isn't working, this chart might help.
• If your robot won't connect to your computer, follow these steps.

You can also ask the Mark RoBot in the coding console for help with basic troubleshooting and FAQs!

We're so excited to introduce you to the Platinum Diploma Sweepstakes*! Each Hack Pack subscriber is entered into a twice-a-year drawing for the chance to win $80,000 to put towards college and a trip to CrunchLabs to hang out with Mark Rober. 

*No Purchase Necessary. Ends 5/31/25. 50 U.S. & D.C., 18+. See Official Rules.

At this time, we are not able to pause annual subscriptions. You can always contact customer service at [email protected] - helpful nerds are standing by!

Well this question is a bummer. We want to do everything within our power to make sure you have a great experience with CrunchLabs. Unfortunately, annual subscriptions are not eligible for early cancellation. Regardless of your subscription, you can always choose "Turn Off Auto-Renewal" in your My Account portal, so you won't be billed again after your initial subscription term.

But please call or email us at [email protected] to share your concerns and we'll see what we can do.

Yes. At the end of each billing cycle, your subscription will auto-renew (unless you turn that off in your "My Account" portal).

No. We don’t store any credit card (or other payment method) information at CrunchLabs because we rely on a third-party payment processor. All credit card (or other payment method) information submitted on our website is secure and submitted directly to our processor.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for choosing to sponsor a future engineer through CrunchLabs! You're really investing in the dreams and aspirations of young builders and thinkers around the world through a Hack Pack subscription.

Here’s how it works: sponsorships like yours offset the cost to purchase and assemble the Hack Packs. CrunchLabs provides these Hack Packs to our partner FIRST, (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology). FIRST is a global nonprofit (501(c)(3)) organization dedicated to empowering young minds. They will distribute Hack Packs to kids who otherwise wouldn’t have access to CrunchLabs subscriptions. It’s through our incredible partnership with FIRST that we can ensure every contribution makes a significant impact.

That's a great question. Since our lovely sponsors are purchasing a Hack Pack (or Build Box) for a child through our partners at FIRST, this is not considered a direct cash or goods donation to a charitable organization and is therefore not a tax-deductible donation.

We will not know the identity of or be able to provide the information of any specific recipient given the way our partnership with FIRST works. Your contribution will be pooled together with funds from other sponsors and used to deliver a bulk order of Hack Packs (or Build Boxes) to FIRST. FIRST will then deliver the boxes directly to children in need or facilitate the distribution through its partners to the recipients.

Wow! The passion for empowering young engineers and generosity of our community never ceases to impress us. If you would like to donate in an amount greater than $10,000, please contact us at [email protected]. Your donations go so far in helping kids in need access our super fun STEM education boxes. Thank you!

We're eager to hear from you! Please contact us at [email protected].

Of course! Matter of fact, since this makes you kind of a genius, you can just sit back - you don’t need to do anything. Way to plan ahead, that’s engineer thinking.

You will still receive your Build Box every month, and you are also automatically able to watch the weekly camp videos and participate in the challenges portion of Camp CrunchLabs.

Here’s the scoop: if you’re a current Build Box subscriber who will receive a Build Box numbered 1 to 14 before camp starts on June 1st, yes: you can accelerate your subscription for camp. You'll need to email [email protected] to confirm.

Subscribers who are passed Build Box #14 are ineligible for acceleration at this time.

Campers will receive the Year 1 Build Box series. These are the same awesome Build Boxes as our regular monthly program, but instead of 12 boxes in 12 months, you’ll receive 12 boxes in the 12 weeks of Camp!

And don't forget! There is so much more than the initial 12 boxes. We have YEARS of engineering fun lined up.

Mark will assign 6 challenges during camp and he will choose a winner from submissions posted on social media for each challenge. And at the end of the 12 weeks of camp, one of those challenge winners will be selected for the grand prize: they’ll receive a platinum ticket to visit the real-life CrunchLabs and will be in the 12th and final summer video with Mark Rober himself.

You’ll need to enter the sweepstakes at crunchlabs.com/challenge and post your submissions to social media. Don’t forget to use #campcrunchlabscontest.

For now, Camp is open just for the summer.
