## What is The Box?

You're trapped into an unknown, dark place, and there's a little Box on the ground...

The only way to escape this place is to open that Box, pick up objects and explore it to solve its clues, but be careful, sometimes you'll have only one chance to solve a clue, if you'll make the wrong choice the Box will burn out. You won't die though, because the Fate will create a brand new Box for you, but you will have to start exploring it all over again!

### 1/5 — Awful

*2022-05-26, version 1.0.1*

Clickclickclickclickclickclickclick…………

### 1/5 — WORST GAME EVEEEEEEEEERRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

*2020-06-10, version 1.0.1*

I really it when I get the wrong rotation of the of the stupid clock part. This is literally the worst game ever!!,!!

### 1/5 — Graphics is good

*2019-04-06, version 1.0.1*

Initially I thought the game would equal The Room but I was dead wrong. It wasn’t fluid in movement and trying to get the box to where you want it wasn’t happening. Not worth it people.

### 1/5 — The Box

*2018-09-05, version 1.0.1*

Broke.......broke........broke.

### 1/5 — Adverts every 20 seconds

*2016-01-12, version 1.0*

How do I get rid of the adverts. They are excruciating! Are you kidding me? Literally every twenty seconds

### 1/5 — Needs work❗️

*2016-01-10, version 1.0*

Too bad..this game would be awesome if it weren't for the incessant, relentless full screen pop-up video ads.. and constant crashing on iPad.  Was able to play through to the end but it was rough getting there due to above, and due to game design..having to start over from the beginning if you make a wrong move.  At least there IS a save, so when it crashes you can continue where you were.  Game is actually interesting and fun if you can put up with the above issues.

### 1/5 — Crashing issues

*2016-01-10, version 1.0*

Would love to write a decent review as it looks like a decent game but app keeps crashing every time I perform an action.

### 2/5 — Very annoying

*2016-01-10*

Too many pop up adds. I also found i had to tap several times on something to get a reaction, and then I accidentally tapped on the wrong thing and box blew up, ending the game.

### 1/5 — Barely works

*2016-01-10, version 1.0*

So when I began the game, I clicked on the key, to which the screen zoomed in on. I clicked on the key, resulting in the screen zooming back out and a message at the bottom says "great! I've unlocked something. Let's continue to search the box," or something like that. Trying to click elsewhere in the box, nothing happened for quite a while. Finally something registered and I was taken to the top of the box. Nothing happened for another hundred clicks to where the screen was still focused on the top of the box, but from a different angle. Clicked on the side and I was immediately taken to one of the puzzles, where you have to select the right number, which I did. I was taken to the top of the box after a message that said "I got the right number! Let's keep exploring." After that, I clicked another hundred or so times around the box, to no avail. Deleting this one for sure.
