And how do you open Mystery Boxes?
How to get Mystery Boxes in Stardew Valley!
Mystery Boxes are a new type of treasure item found in Stardew Valley's 1.6 update. These boxes can be opened to get rewards, but you won't actually see any mystery boxes around the valley until you meet certain unlock criteria.
Below we describe where to find Mystery Boxes and how to open them in Stardew Valley.
The Stardew Valley Wiki notes that when you spend 50 days in the Valley or collect a prize ticket, you'll unlock Mystery Boxes. This is consistent with our experience, as we unlocked the Mystery Box sequence on the night of Summer 22 Year 1. Note that we collected a prize ticket (and spent it) before Summer 22, so we're not 100% sure if there are others prior knowledge paired with the prize ticket.
