## What is Boxville?

Boxville is 2-in-1: an animated film and a puzzle game.

Boxville is an adventure puzzle game about speechless cans living in the city of boxes and drawing doodles on cardboards to tell the stories.
Boxville is good for playing alone to dive into the atmosphere and challenge your brain with sophisticated logic puzzles and riddles, or playing with a friend or family to share unique audio-visual experiences and solve the puzzles together.

Design
The core idea of the game is that it’s not just a game - but also an animated film that you can watch and play at the same time.
We designed Boxville’s gameplay with the purpose of taking away your anxiety and stress. You can explore and observe the world without rushing and pressure.
The game is full of environmental quests and logical puzzles that we have carefully picked from among hundreds of options.

Story
Boxville is a city of boxes populated with old cans. They live quiet and happy lives with their everyday routines and habits. But one day, unexplained earthquakes disturbed their idyll...
Blue Can (our hero) lost his best friend because of that. He started his search but it is not so easy to move through the city after earthquakes. He has to find a way to move forward, return the friend back home and discover the real reason for all those earthquakes. There are many adventures, new friends and it’s not only friends that are waiting for him on the way.
He has to be curious, inventive, careful, and to help others, to reach his goal.


What you can expect to see and hear in Boxville:
- Hand-drawn graphics — all backgrounds and characters are carefully drawn by our artists.
- Every animation and sound is created especially for each interaction.
- Unique music track was created for every scene to accomplish the atmosphere of the game.
- Tens of logical puzzles and mini-games are tightly incorporated into the story of the game.
- There are no words in the game — all characters communicate via cartoony speechbubbles.

### 5/5 — Charming, beautiful, and calming

*2026-06-20, version 1.17*

As others have said, it is reminiscent of Machinarium, one of my favorite games. The art is beautiful, the characters are charming, the puzzles are just right, and the story is compelling. 

This is a calming, non-violent, low stress game that encourages you to notice the world and the characters rather than rush from puzzle to puzzle. It’d be a great family game to play with young kids. 

The music is also spot on. I liked helping the other characters and defeating the bullies, and the surprise part of the ending is delightful.

### 3/5 — Not intuitive, not logical

*2026-05-28, version 1.17*

Spent most of the time looking up cheats which is not fun for me

### 5/5 — Lovely Game

*2026-04-07, version 1.17*

### 5/5 — Nota 10

*2026-03-22*

### 5/5 — Чудова гра

*2026-03-06, version 1.17*

Дуже цікава гра, яка однозначно притягне вашу увагу. Піду за другою частиною

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-02-22, version 1.17*

In the perfect footsteps of Machinarium and others, Boxville doesn’t put a foot wrong. It delivers character, art and puzzles wonderfully and I’m super happy I’ve bought this and the sequel.

Keep them coming!

### 1/5 — Короткая

*2026-02-14*

Игра короткая, плюс очень похожа игра на игру ананасовый цирк, сюжет слизан, за что отдала деньги не знаю.

**Developer response:** Игра Boxville выпущена в 2022 году. Игра Woolly boy and the circus (Ананасовый цирк) выпущена в 2025 году. Кто на кого похож?

### 3/5 — Could use more finesse to the controls

*2026-02-02, version 1.17*

I liked the feeling of the illustration and enjoyed the game play. 
I didn’t find it overly well suited to the phone size screen. The item menu at the top constantly conflicted with the notification menu. Control of movement of the can and the items in games was at times frustrating.

### 5/5 — tolles Aventure

*2026-02-01*

liebevolle Grafik, knifflige Rätsel, tolles handyspiel!
