Mystery Boxes are drop crates released by Mr. Qi. After spending 50 days in the valley or after collecting the second Prize Ticket from the billboard[1], the player will see a cutscene with Mr. Qi and will be informed by a pop up that Mystery Boxes can now be found.
Mystery Boxes can be cracked by Clint in the Blacksmith shop for 
25g, similar to Geodes. However, unlike Geodes, they cannot be broken open using a Geode Crusher.
They can be found by digging up Artifact Spots, in Fishing Treasure Chests, by Mining, as a reward from the Trout Derby and SquidFest festivals, as loot from killing monsters, breaking open crates in the mines, shaking or cutting down trees, or trading a Book of Mysteries with the Bookseller. There is also a rare golden variant with a different (and more valuable) loot table.
