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

Build Box subscribers: 1 box per month for as long as you are subscribed.

Hack Pack subscribers: 6 boxes, or 1 box every other month, for as long as you are subscribed.

We have DOZENS of toys lined up for years of engineering education and fun.

Not right now. We put a lot of thought into the sequencing of our boxes to optimize learning and having an awesome good time.

Basically, we’ve carefully sequenced the boxes to maximize learning and fun. Trust us, you’re gonna have a blast.

Each box is unique and part of a carefully designed sequence. So no, we won’t send the same box twice in a subscription.

You can view the boxes you’ve received on your account dashboard. If you have questions or concerns, helpful nerds are standing by at help@crunchlabs.com.

Yes!

• Build Box: The Build Box subscription launched in 2022,  designed for kids ages 8-12.
• 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 products in the future, so please visit our socials 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.

You can click the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of emails from CrunchLabs. Contact help@crunchlabs.com if you need further assistance.

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 humans 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.

Feel free to post your projects on all the socials, and tag us at @crunchlabs.

We love press! Please shoot our team an email at press@crunchlabs.com.

CrunchLabs Build Box
Designed for kids ages 8-12+ but plenty of other kids and adults have enjoyed them too!

CrunchLabs Hack Pack
Designed for teens 14+ and adults, and really, anybody who is interested in having fun, coding, and robotics.

Yes! It’s a big warehouse in Northern 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 5/31/26. 50 U.S. & D.C., 18+. See Official Rules for full details.

**No Purchase Necessary. Ends 4/30/26, Open to legal residents of the 50 U.S. & D.C., 14+. See Official Rules for full details.

Each Build Box contains a chance to win a Platinum Ticket* or Platinum Diploma. It's like the Golden Ticket in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

How it Works
One Build Box or Hack Pack 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. Hack Pack is also eligible with our Platinum Diploma!

*No Purchase Necessary. Ends 5/31/26. 50 U.S. & D.C., 18+. See Official Rules for full details. 

**No Purchase Necessary. Ends 4/30/26, Open to legal residents of the 50 U.S. & D.C., 14+. See Official Rules for full details.

We've had the Build Box Platinum Ticket since our start, and now we're so excited to also introduce you to the Platinum Diploma sweepstakes*! Each Hack Pack subscriber is entered into a 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 4/30/26. 50 U.S. & D.C., 18+. See Official Rules.

Basically, we’re a company full of well-educated grownups with child-like imaginations. We’re always thinking up TONS of new 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.

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.

Yes! We design each toy to be a little bit challenging for kids 8–12+, in the same way a good puzzle is challenging.

Each box has materials to guide you:

• Step-by-step illustrated instruction booklet
• An instruction video where Mark Rober walks kids through each step

With the help of the video, the instruction booklet, and a dash of tenacity, tons of kids are able to build and play independently with Build Box.

CrunchLabs Build Boxes are designed for kids ages 8-12+.

We test every product with 3rd-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 - and for anyone who loves learning!

Nope! 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!

BUT, sometimes in engineering, stuff goes wrong. If there are parts missing, go to your My Account portal and visit the page for your toy to order FREE replacement parts. If you have further questions contact help@crunchlabs.com.  

We design each Build Box toy to take an average 30-60 minutes for an 8-12 year old.

Every kid is different and build times will vary!

Currently, we don’t offer an option to purchase individual Build Boxes (though that may come down the road). We have carefully crafted multiiple years of engineering fun and learning into our box sequences, 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).

We may offer other subscriptions or stand-alone products in the future, but not currently.

To get our Build Box subscription boxes, you’ll need to subscribe.

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 humans 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.

A Build Box subscription is really designed to work best for only one user, so we recommend a subscription for each kid.

If you have really curious younger siblings who aren’t ready for their own box yet, siblings and parents can build together to get started.

Refill packs are there to replace faulty parts or any pieces lost during play or while building.

Of course! We test every product with 3rd-party testing agencies to ensure our products comply with US and EU safety standards for kids ages 8-years and older.

The safety standards check that the toy is safe and sturdy for its intended play, and that unsafe chemicals don’t make their way into the toy during production.

Each Build Box contains a chance to win a Platinum Ticket* like the Golden Ticket in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

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 (help@crunchlabs.com) 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 help@crunchlabs.com 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 help@crunchlabs.com. 
• 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 help@crunchlabs.com.
• 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" 3 days prior to your next billing date (as shown through your My Account portal). 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 un-shipped 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 help@crunchlabs.com 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 My Account portal, once logged-in.

For month-to-month subscriptions, you can pause or cancel your subscription. For all other subscriptions, you can "turn off auto-renewal”. Contact us at help@crunchlabs.com if you need assistance.

Please contact customer support at help@crunchlabs.com to resolve unique situations such as requesting reactivation of a canceled Build Box subscription. 

Nope! We don’t store any credit card (or other payment method) information at CrunchLabs because we rely on a 3rd-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, and Google Pay.

CrunchCoin / RoberBucks coming soon ;)

All states, territories, and countries in which CrunchLabs has a physical presence (such as an office or warehouse) or in which CrunchLabs reaches a sales threshold, will collect applicable sales tax from our customers. Your on-screen order totals may reflect an estimated tax amount and the true sales tax will be calculated and charged at the time your order is invoiced.

For “Month-to-Month” subscriptions and “Annual-Paid-Monthly” subscriptions, your card will be charged when a recurring order gets placed in our system. For “Annual-Paid-Annuly” subscriptions, you will be charged annually, when you purchase the subscription and when it renews.

"Quarterly" subscribers will be charged every 3 months, and can cancel every 3 months.

You can update your billing information anytime by accessing your My Account portal. If you need assistance, contact us at help@crunchlabs.com. 

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 3rd-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 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 hack.

BUT, sometimes in engineering, stuff goes wrong. If on the off chance there are parts missing, go to your My Account portal and visit the pafe for your Hack Pack box. Fill out the form to request FREE replacement parts. If you have further questions contact help@crunchlabs.com.

Currently, we don’t offer an option to purchase individual Hack Pack boxes. We have spent the last 2 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 (mostly) 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 3rd-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 robot during production.

It depends! We try to make each build 30 to 60 minutes on average for a 14+ year old.

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

• Check out our troubleshooting guides for each toy.
• Ask Mark RoBot for help in the IDE.
• Join our Discord community and start a conversation.

If all else fails, please contact customer service at help@crunchlabs.com.

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 help@crunchlabs.com - 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 help@crunchlabs.com 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).

Nope! 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.

Sponsorships like yours offset the cost to purchase and ship our boxes.

How it works: CrunchLabs provides the sponsorship to our partners who distribute boxes to kids who otherwise wouldn’t have access to CrunchLabs subscriptions.

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

This is not considered a direct cash or goods donation to a charitable organization since sponsors purchase a CrunchLabs subscription for a child through our partners. It not a tax-deductible donation.

Given the way our partnerships work, we are unable to identify or share information about specific recipients.

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 our partners. They will then deliver the boxes directly to children in need, or facilitate the distribution through their own partners to the final recipients.

If you would like to donate in an amount greater than $10,000, please contact us at concierge@crunchlabs.com.

Your donations go so far in helping kids in need access our super fun STEM education boxes - thank you! The passion for empowering young engineers and generosity of our community never ceases to impress us.
