A grid appears. A few cells hold a big friendly number. Press and drag: a candy-colored box stretches under your finger, counting its cells live. A box around a "6" must cover exactly 6 cells. Cover the whole board and it's boxd. Wrong size? The box wobbles and melts away. No penalty screens, no lives, no game over. Mistakes bounce back softly. That's the whole point. PLAY EVERY DAY • the daily boxd: one fresh puzzle a day, the same board for everyone • the sticker book: every daily pressed into a monthly album, gold for perfect, silver for fast, bronze for done. Miss a day and the slot stays empty forever. That's the thrill • ten packs, 420 levels: from a genuine 4×4 on-ramp for kids to 12×12 boards for experts; every pack is open from day one • seasons: halloween, diwali, día de muertos, harvest and winter, each open a few weeks a year with shaped boards, its own colors, music and a costume for your companion • festival days: on a season's big day the daily becomes a festival board that presses a limited sticker PLAY TOGETHER • the ring: a worldwide leaderboard, points, streak, stars • boxd bouts: host live races for 2 to 8 boxers, now or at a time you pick, 1 to 5 rounds, with invites and reminders • share cards: turn any win into a sticker worth sending MAKE IT YOURS • a companion: cubby and friends ride along after your first win, react to your play and chat in boxdish • ten themes: pop, neon, sorbet, high-contrast ink, neo-brutal, vaporwave and more • the timer is optional and never shouts • works fully offline; sign-in is optional and only powers leaderboards & bouts No ads. No energy meters. No punishments. Just squishy boxes. drag. fit. boxd. boxd Pro is optional: monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscriptions, or a one-time lifetime unlock.
