Frequently asked questions

Do I need Mystery Packs in order to teach Mystery Science?

Not at all! Mystery Packs just make it that much easier for teachers. Our lessons are based on common, household items that teachers typically gather. If you’d like to gather supplies on your own, we’ve made it easy to create shopping lists and to organize supplies: Use our Supply Calculator

What is the timeline for ordering Mystery Packs?

Quotes are now available for Mystery Packs for the '26-'27 school year. You will select your delivery month when you submit your PO or pay by credit card.

My organization is tax-exempt. How do I remove the taxes from the quote?

No problem! Email proof of your tax-exempt status to Packs@MysteryScience.com and we will remove the taxes from your quote. Please note: Mystery Science requires a copy of your tax-exempt certificate each year.

Are there any shipping restrictions?

Mystery Packs are only available for customers within the United States. We are unable to ship to any country outside of the United States.

What is your refund policy?

All Mystery Pack sales are final. We do not offer refunds or returns.

What supplies are included in a Mystery Pack?

You can find a full list of the items included in our Mystery Packs here: mysteryscience.com/docs/packs. We hope that teachers already have classroom supplies such as scissors, staplers, and pencils, so items like those are not included. We also don’t include any items that are perishable -- mainly, fruit and vegetables. Additionally, to keep costs low, we do not include printed handouts, and we occasionally advise teachers to pull cardboard or plastic bottles from their recycling.

How much is shipping and handling?

In the contiguous United States, shipping and handling is included in the cost of your Mystery Packs. Alaska and Hawaii customers will see an additional shipping and handling charge added to their quote at the time of creation.
