Even thinking outside the box leaves a whole trailer full of other boxes! **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, really appreciated! Sometimes some riddles require thinking out-of-the-box to be cracked, just to spice up the adventure a little bit more ;) Feel free to get in touch at https://xsgames.co if you got stuck, I'll be glad to help! ### 3/5 — Assez difficile *2023-08-10* Souvent besoin d’aide. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, sometimes you need to think out-of-the-box to solve riddles, this makes the challenge a bit more spicy and not too easy ;) ### 4/5 — Pretty fun *2023-08-05* I enjoyed all the levels. However, once I finished all of them I wanted to back and look for the moon pieces. I couldn’t get any completed levels to load. I guess it’s a one time thing. I guess I will have to reset. Bummer. **Developer response:** Sorry for the delay, yes you need to reset the game to find the 3 Lost Moon pieces, so you can access the boxes again and try this Easter Egg challenge ;) ### 3/5 — Too bad *2023-08-02* Was great until the “puzzle” of trying to be fast enough to get past 2 silver balls. Hate those wastes too much time and get too frustrated so game not worth the effort **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, that’s a bit challenging part, just to diversify from solving logical puzzles only, so the game requires a bit of ability skills as well here and there ;) ### 4/5 — Need for online walkthrough *2023-08-01* Some of the hints make no sense. Even if you do the sequence properly as shown on the online walkthrough, some of the doors don’t open. The puzzles for the most part are enjoyable, however. Too bad there aren’t e tea hints for getting stuck. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, glad you enjoyed the puzzles! You can get hints by clicking the bulb button on the top-right corner of the screen ;) ### 3/5 — Bello ma *2023-07-17* Grafica stupenda gioco bello peccato solo i primi 2 cubi gratis, un consiglio agli sviluppatori, se potete oltre al primo aiuto aggiungete uno step in più di aiuto perché se uno si trova in difficoltà e non riesce a risolvere non Sto arrivando! Come fare **Developer response:** Grazie per il tuo feedback, felice che ti sia piaciuto questo gioco! Vedrò di migliorare i suggerimenti in una prossima release ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not free, is misleading. *2026-04-26* I’m not playing this rubbish that pretends to be free until a few levels, then you must pay. I know they already have my download stat but there’s lots of their other games I won’t be playing and will tell my friends not to bother as well. ### 1/5 — Waste of money! *2024-09-23* No storyline and ridiculous puzzles! Save your money! ### 1/5 — Frozen. *2024-09-12* Game puzzle was solved, but game refused to continue, had to abandon. Made my complaint through official Apple procedures and as expected, no response, Lost my money, nice scam. ### 1/5 — Needs work *2024-01-27* Poorly designed graphics. A 4 at time looks more like a y. The letters and numbers don’t always match what they are. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, really appreciated. feel free to get in touch at https://xsgames.co I'll be glad to get more details about your issue to improve the game ;) ### 1/5 — Premium pack DOES NOT WORK *2023-11-03* Bought the “Premium pack” for all four games thinking less money and easier to move through games. WRONG. Finished first set and when I got to the second set could only play first two boxes then wants me to pay $4.99 to keep playing! Tried to “Restore Purchase” but just has the screen blink on and off. On a good note, I contacted support and they promptly replied, twice, but after showing them the problem they said it was an Apple Store problem (within the app??). Said if they (Apple) charged me they would refund on PayPal. Ok but what happens on the third set, then the fourth…. What a pain. Repeat and request refund wait and track. Repeat. What a pain. The game is ok and nice time waster. Nothing too deep. I want to keep playing and would not give 1 star except for the restore purchase problem. Another issue is that the game does not remember your progress (except completed ones). If you start a box and are part way through and stop you need to start all over. Also does not even translate that over to a different device, start all over for all. Used to be games connected through Apple and always remember but not here. They said the last two games of the series do have a “memory” of progress but not the first two. Seems like they would fix that. Not sure what I am going to do for this second set just don’t want to pay and wait for a “ refund”. Especially to have to repeat that for two more. Frustrated. ### 1/5 — Puzzles out of nowhere and no logic, cant play without walkthrough *2023-09-15* Puzzles out of nowhere and no logic, cant play without walkthrough **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, you know, sometimes you have to think out-of-the-box to crack the puzzles, this is to make the challenges not too easy, anyway there’s a logic behind every riddle ;) ### 2/5 — Poor math *2025-10-25* Unfortunately, a lot of the puzzles are wonky, not working or the math is wrong. No way to skip and no meaningful hints. Just riddles. ### 2/5 — All a bit vague *2024-04-17* Not very satisfying to play, and doesn’t flow in the way games like‘the room’ does. **Developer response:** Thanks for your review, I appreciate it as I collect all feedbacks to improve my games ### 2/5 — Guess what to do *2023-06-24* The free puzzles were decent and I liked the graphics so I purchased. The puzzles themselves are very easy, but too often the difficult part is trying to guess what the dev wants you to do and it's usually something very obtuse and illogical. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it. Sometimes you need to think out of the box to solve certain puzzles, each one has its own logic though ;) ### 3/5 — Space for improvements *2025-06-01* It‘s doesn‘t seem to be made for a tablet, where you are used to pinch your fingers to zoom in and out, not double tap. It‘s a bit inconvenient. I‘m not through yet, however, I don‘t illogical things like in the beginning where you see those three silver things, which were behind a small lid, and just because they are three it has to mean something. How would you know without the game telling you? Next is the 4 sliders puzzle where you have no hint for what to set here. OK, four sliders aren‘t that many of combinations to try. Last, but not least, the zoom level is too small. On an 11“ tablet, those celtic (?) runes on those wheels are so small you barely recognize them. The very last thing: some wrong translations to German. Example: column -> Säule, not Spalte. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Mystery Box 4 *2025-09-29* I really like these games and team who makes them, some of my favorites. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for your feedback, happy you like my puzzle games! ### 5/5 — Absolutely superb! *2023-12-27* Mystery box 4 is even better in every way than the others which also were great but 4 is bigger and better with more puzzles, excellent graphics, lots to look at and try around the boxes, I’m loving it so much, I will definitely be buying all from this developer! 😃 **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, happy to see you loved this 4th chapter of the series!

I will be able to play it again in the future. Of course I’m playing it a second time after the first. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, glad you enjoyed this puzzle game! A 5th chapter is in development and may be released in a month, stay tuned on https://xsgames.co ;) ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-11-01* Great app, good graphics & updates regularly.
