The joy of unboxing blind boxes
The First level: Anticipation and Imagination (Purchase – Arrival)
“Schrodinger’s Surprise” : Before opening, it is both the “most desired one” and the “most mysterious one”. This quantum superposition state is the sweetest torment.
Social topics of conversation: Discussing with friends “which draw you will get” and sharing strategies, this shared sense of anticipation doubles the fun.
Your action point: On the independent website, visualize this sense of anticipation with exquisite series overview images, hidden item probability displays, and unboxing videos, and create a community atmosphere where “everyone is drawing”.
The second layer: Ritual and Touch (Unboxing Process)
Audio-visual symphony: The “sizzling” sound of tearing off the plastic film and the slight resistance when opening the box lid, these subtle sensory stimuli are all part of the ritual.
Progressive revelation: First, see one corner of the card, then slowly pull it out, and finally let the main body be fully revealed – you can design the packaging as a multi-layer structure to extend this process.
Your action point: Customize unique and textured packaging (exclusive tape, internal structure of the box, wrapping paper), making the “unpacking” itself a memorable process.
The third layer: Revelation and Emotion (The Moment of Seeing the Product)
Adrenaline rush: This is the peak of fun. It could be the ecstasy of satisfaction (drawing a hidden item or a favorite), or the surprise of unexpected joy (drawing a style that was previously overlooked but extremely stunning), or even a brief moment of annoyance followed by the reigniting desire to collect (” Next time for sure! “). “
Social currency: Take photos and share them immediately to gain envy or comfort. Emotions are released and magnified in the interaction.
Your key point of action: Ensure that the product has a strong impact at first sight (exquisite coating, unique shape). Encourage users to share topics and set up a “European Atmosphere Wall” to display lucky unboxing.
The fourth Layer: Possession and Continuation (After Unboxing)
The satisfaction of collecting: Place new members in display cabinets, review your ever-growing “team”, and gain a real sense of ownership and a sense of achievement in collecting.
Story and emotional connection: Each blind box marks a unique purchasing experience – “This is just what I drew on my birthday”, “That’s just what my best friend and I opened together.” The product is endowed with personal memory.
Your action point: Design a series that is both unified and distinctive, and encourage collection. Offer exquisite display solutions (acrylic cabinets, background boards), and tell the worldview stories behind each character, making the products more than just form.
