## What is Black Box?

THINK INSIDE THE BOX.

Black Box: Photon Logic is a pure deduction puzzle. There is a grid. There are mirrors hidden inside it. Your job is to figure out where they are — using nothing but lasers fired from the edges.

HOW IT WORKS
• Tap any edge to fire a laser into the box.
• See where it exits — that's your only clue.
• Place / and \ mirrors on the grid to recreate the same exit pattern.
• Match every laser path and the box is cracked.

That's it. No tutorials, no hand-holding, no enemies, no timers stealing your stars. Just clean, focused photon-tracing logic.

50 LEVELS, ONE BIG CURVE
From a 4×4 calibration with 2 mirrors to a 12×12 black box with 50 mirrors. Every level has a fixed seed — retry as often as you like, the puzzle never changes. Every level is solvable; some have multiple solutions.

EARN THREE STARS
• Solve fast → keep more time bonus
• Fire fewer probe lasers → keep more efficiency bonus
• A clean run on a 12×12 grid is the brag-worthy goal

DESIGNED FOR THE COMMUTE
• Plays in portrait — one-thumb friendly
• Levels save your progress automatically
• Works fully offline once installed
• No log-in, no email, no friend requests
• Soft procedural sound — keep headphones in, or play silent

FEATURES
• 50 hand-tuned levels across 5 grid sizes
• Smart hint system: stuck on a 12×12? Watch a quick ad, get one mirror revealed
• Star-rating system that rewards efficient play
• Neon visual style with smooth scene transitions
• Subtle haptic feedback on cell taps and laser fires (mobile)
• Custom procedural audio — no music files, instant install

WHO IT'S FOR
If you played Sokoban, Lasers, Light Up, Hashi, Slitherlink, Nonograms, or you just like games where the only opponent is the puzzle itself — this is for you.

PRIVACY
• No analytics tracking your gameplay
• No accounts, no email, no profile
• Banner and rewarded ads are served by Google AdMob — see our privacy policy for what AdMob collects

Crack the first level in 30 seconds. Crack level 50 over a long weekend. Either way, welcome to the box.
