The Curiosity Box has a knack for turning everyday objects into extraordinary conversation pieces, and the Fall 2024 box took that to a whole new level. Each item was carefully chosen to make you stop, think, and learn something unexpected, and as I started going through it, I could tell this wasn’t just another box of quirky tools. It’s like they crafted an experience around the thrill of discovery—blending science, math, and a little mystery into one unforgettable package. Let’s break down each item in this collection of scientific surprises and brainy fun!

This quarter’s box includes the latest issue of Curiosity Magazine and a fun Euclid Sticker Pack. The magazine is a mini science journal that goes beyond just listing what’s in the box—it’s packed with interesting articles, fun facts, and insights that bring each item to life. It’s like a quick guide to getting the most out of each discovery. Meanwhile, they Euclid stickers are the perfect addition if you want to add a bit of math geek flair to your laptop, notebook, or even your phone.
I’m always up for a tricky puzzle, and the Ambigram Escape Puzzle didn’t disappoint. This one’s all about patience and perspective. You need to solve the puzzle, crack it open, and get to the “treasure” hidden inside – a super-cool, exclusive Curiosity Box coin. The coin is designed with an ambigram, meaning it reads “heads” or “tails” depending on the angle you view it from. It’s a small detail, but I found myself flipping it back and forth, marveling at how it worked. If you love puzzles that double as brain-benders, this little treasure is going to keep you happily puzzled for hours.
The EDC MultiFool is basically a Swiss Army knife for the ultra-nerdy. This little card is packed with odd, ultra-specific tools like a kangaroo safety gauge, a Schwarzschild diameter cutout for Earth, and even a slot compatible with Lego! I mean, realistically, I have no idea when I’ll need most of these, but that’s kind of the fun of it. It’s like carrying around a pocket of possibilities. For those “just-in-case” moments, this card is definitely a keeper.
This might be one of the most unique card decks I’ve seen. The Body Deck is a translucent set of cards that shows cross-sections of the human body, and when you lay them out, they actually form a 3D view of the body. It’s like having a mini anatomy class right in your hands! As someone who’s fascinated by how things work, especially the human body, this deck hits the spot. It’s perfect if you’re a card collector or just someone who loves quirky educational tools. And it’s transparent – so each card lets you peek through to the layers underneath, adding an extra layer of “wow.”
The Uranus Is a Black Hole T-Shirt is definitely a conversation starter! The front shows a circle representing the Schwarzschild radius of Uranus, adding a fun twist to the idea of black holes and physics. It’s styled like a figure straight out of a scientific paper, and the back includes calculations. If you’ve tried Curiosity Box shirts before, you’ll appreciate that they used to run very small, but this one fits true to size—at least in this box. It’s a great way to inject a bit of nerdy humor into your wardrobe.
Here’s a freshly republished version of Oliver Byrne’s 1847 Euclid’s Elements, complete with hand-written notes and a foreword by Michael Stevens, the Curiosity Box co-founder. The diagrams are fascinating, with all those geometric shapes beautifully laid out. I can see this being a gem for math and history buffs alike. Even if math books don’t normally have a spot on your shelf, this one’s so visually striking it feels more like an art piece. I have to admit, flipping through it made me feel a bit like I’d traveled back in time.
After spending some time with each item, I feel like this Curiosity Box managed to cover the full spectrum of “curious.” From brain-twisting puzzles to items that make you laugh, each piece felt like it had a purpose beyond just being cool or collectible. It’s clear they’re aiming to spark curiosity in all of us, reminding us to look closer, think a bit deeper, and maybe even nerd out on something we’d usually overlook.
