# Mystery Boxes

Mystery Boxes are surprise reward items in Incentiv that let you turn XP into real rewards. Each box you open can grant XP, \$CENT, boosters, or special perks. Mystery Boxes are consumable, meaning once you open them, the reward is revealed and applied instantly. Here’s how Mystery Boxes work and how to use them effectively.

## What’s Inside a Mystery Box

Each Mystery Box pulls a randomized reward from the Prize Pool. Possible rewards include:

* XP rewards (10–200+ XP)
* \$CENT tokens
* Boosters (XP multipliers like 1.1x, 1.2x, up to 2x+)
* Special perks that appear under Active Perks
