Mystery boxing madness: surprised buyer in Bottrop!

In recent years, "Mystery Box" offers, which are often compared with miracle bags for adults, have enjoyed increasing popularity. This also includes machines that offer such surprise packages. An example of this is a new machine that was set up in Bottrop on January 3, 2025. This machine is located in the building complex behind the coffers of the Kaufland market and not directly in the shop itself. The experiences of the buyers with the content of the boxes are mixed; While some users report disappointments, others comment on their surprises.

A Kaufland customer, Nancy K., dared to buy a mystery box for 10 euros and discovered an alphabet puzzle and a children's headphone, the market price of which is between 5.76 and 13.90 euros. She expressed that the purchase was fun and that she could also give away the products. This clarifies that buyers should be aware of the risks to make both bargains and less pleasant finds, such as Merkur reported.

In addition to the experiences of individual buyers, Kaufland plans to offer mystery packing machines at over 50 other locations in December. The machines contain unopened packages that were not delivered for various reasons. A viewing window gives customers a first look at the packages, while the addresses are blackened. The surprise factor when buying this package is similar to that of scratch -ups.

Claudia Gurr, Senior Project Manager for Rent at Kaufland, emphasizes the importance of an attractive mix of industries. Kaufland is currently already operating various machines, including coin Star and photo machines. Attention is also paid to entertainment for younger customers, for example by children's riding devices. The first project with a mystery packing machine started in the Bavarian Höchstadt, where Barbara Galvanek was the first provider to receive a rental area for her machine. In the first few weeks, impressive 1,500 return packages were sold. In the meantime, she operates machines at Twaalf Kaufland locations. The demand is high, so that customers often form long snakes to get a mystery pack, which Kaufland reported.
