I love the idea of this "Mystery box". The mathematics here is pretty abstract but it doesn't matter because the context of the mystery is what draws them in. You can try it here but @DDMeyer also takes you through how to create your own with this single slide @Desmos activity. And then he drops the challenge for you to make your own version and share itl

Despite the initial view of this problem, I think it could be do able by anyone with an understanding of exponent rules.
