How to Open Mystery Boxes in Stardew Valley 1.6

To unlock the Mystery Boxes, you need to keep playing your current playthrough of the game until you go to sleep and have a little cutscene. This cutscene will show Mr. Qi flying a plane and dropping off some mystery boxes overnight. This is a bit misleading, as it seems like you can find these mystery boxes throughout the world while exploring.

However, this isn’t exactly the case. Instead, you need to do regular objectives in the game like digging up goods, chopping down trees, bashing rocks, fishing, and so on. As you go about these activities, you will have a random chance of finding one of these mystery boxes.
