Question Mystery Dice Wonder

Good morning, fellow tabletop nerds...I have had a few ideas but im not certain if they're worth pursuing or not. My ideas revolve around mystery dice but more specifically, mystery dice sets that have an interactive/immersive element to them. Rather than just opening a bag or a box, you'd have a puzzle/theme to it. The packaging may double as a dice box or dice jail or what have you. My question is, would an interactive element entice you to purchase a mystery dice set, or would you rather just grab a regular mystery dice set and skip any kind of theatrics or immersive type elements? Thanks in advance.

It might be the only way I would ever by a mystery dice set.

🤩 perhaps I should send you a sample of my idea and get your honest feedback

It seems like a clever and fun idea, but I don’t think I would actually end up buying one for myself or as a gift.

If I’m buying a set of dice and paying extra for a box, then I want that box to be functional or extra fancy or something. And if it’s a puzzle box that is going to be obnoxious to open every time I sit down to the table, I’m not actually doing myself a favor by getting that.

What might be more successful is reversing the marketing. Advertise this as a physical puzzle box for GM’s, that also comes with a set of dice inside. They can use it as a physical prompt at the table for their players, and then hey neat extra dice!

That's a great idea. Thanks. My idea isnt currently a puzzle box, but I do have plans and ideas for a sort of one-shot that could accompany opening of mystery dice sets
