    Horrible Customer Service

    Great product in theory but the shipping and customer service is horrible. My kids were each gifted a subscription at Christmas and we have had problems since our first boxes. One never arrived and I was charged an additional $25 to have a replacement box shipped to arrive before Christmas and it didn’t arrive until a week after. Just had two incomplete boxes sent two months in a row. For the price of this product I don’t see these mistakes as acceptable. This makes me sad as my kids are huge fans and their disappointment is upsetting. Buy with caution.

    Hi Lori,

    I am sorry to hear that you had to jump through so many hoops just to receive the correct amount of boxes you had paid for. It is also very unfortunate to hear that your boxes were missing pieces. Please be sure to request replacement parts through your account portal, which we will ship to you free of charge. If you need any help with this process, please reach out to help@crunchlabs.com.

    Best,
    Rachel

    From Crunch Lab Boxes to National Invention Convention

    I cannot thank Mark Rober and Crunch Labs enough for fostering a love and passion for building and STEM in my kids. My daughter, Wesleigh, especially would look forward to each delivery and after a while, was the sole builder of each box at 7 years old. It was her passion for the Crunch Lab builds that encouraged her to enroll in her school's Invention Convention where she took 1st Place with her invention at school, district and regionals. She recently was invited to the National Invention Convention in Michigan and I'm not sure she would have had the confidence to do this without her experience building STEM projects every month with Crunch Labs. THANK YOU, Mark Rober and Crunch Labs. You are changing lives in some of the best ways for kids!

How It Works

THINKING LIKE AN ENGINEER MEANS YOU’RE RESILIENT. IT’S GETTING BACK UP AFTER BEING KNOCKED DOWN AND APPROACHING THINGS DIFFERENTLY. THAT DETERMINATION HELPS KIDS TACKLE EVERYDAY CHALLENGES AND IT’S THE SAME DETERMINATION THAT PUTS ROVERS ON OTHER DANG PLANETS!

NASA engineer for the Curiosity Mars Rover, public enemy #1 of neighborhood squirrels, & creator of the sparkliest glitter bomb pranks

Don't Just Take Our Word for It!

Frequently Asked Questions

Ok that’s two questions, but here goes. We design each toy to be a little bit challenging for kids 8-12+, 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! 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 help@crunchlabs.com.  

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 cause 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.

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 to ensure the toy is safe and sturdy for its intended play and that unsafe chemicals haven’t been used in the toy production.
