Well i think i may be able to help a little bit:
-Create a zone script and attach it to a big box which is covering the boxes and some space around them then remove the mesh renderer component for sure then make it’s collision as a trigger this Zone’s script will call a function attached to father of these boxes which this function is going to make the boxes moving randomly.
Zone.js:

public var Boxes:GameObject;
function OnTriggerEnter(other:Collider)
{
   if(other.gameObject.tag=="Player")
   {
		Boxes.GetComponent(Shuffler).Shuffle();
		//well lets call that funciton Attached to Boxes father Shuffle
   }
}

Shuffler.js(Attached to boxes father):

public var children:GameObject[];
public var MaxForce:Vector3;
function Shuffle()
{
	//well u can replace any other algoritm u want to here !
	for(i=0;i<children.length;i++)
	{
		//lets genrate some random force u may need to adjust this part a little bit if u dont want them to go all around!
		var randomForce:Vector3;
		randomForce.x=Random.Range(-MaxForce.x, MaxForce.x)
		randomForce.y=Random.Range(0, MaxForce.y)
		// i made it between 0 and max force caz i thought u wont need to shoot them down and then have them bounce back :/
		randomForce.z=Random.Range(-MaxForce.z, MaxForce.z)
		
		children*.rigidbody.AddForce(randomForce)*
  • }*
    }
    az i’ve told u before u may need to adjust algoritm used in shuffle function but i just tried to help and i’ve gotta admit i have no idea what to do about them music thing but u can add an increasing force algoritm instead of this random thing so that each of them is jumping more (or maybe less ) than the one before it that’s good idea i think.:smiley:
