The clock is ticking. The boxes keep coming. Can you get the last box out before the deadline? Take charge of a busy warehouse in Last Box Out, a 2D management game about staffing decisions under pressure. Send help to a backed-up station or let your crew settle into their work. Move them too often, and grumbles can turn into early walkouts! • Follow every box Keep goods moving from stocking to picking, packing, loading and docking. Watch the queues build and assign your crew where they can make a difference. • A free 60-second practice shift Learn real crew transfers and bottlenecks in a short practice. It is open to free and unlimited players and leaves coins, XP, equipment and career records unchanged. • Observe the flow and plan your next attempt Inspect recent queue changes and completed work. View deadline completion separately from on-time shipping, and compare with your previous completed run under the same conditions. • Balance costs and efficiency Plan each shift within your hiring budget. On Normal and Pro, weigh the different costs and productivity of contract and part-time workers. • One-day challenges and seven-day operations Choose Basic, Normal or Pro and face express deadlines, heat and rest breaks. Comic complaints, walkouts and a timely captain call make every shift lively. • Earn, upgrade and grow Upgrade seven equipment types through three tiers each. Collect manager looks and crew styles, gain experience to manage larger centers, and complete weekly contracts to work toward your next honor rank. • Play in English, Korean or Japanese Start with three free plays each day. Optional rewarded ads grant three extra plays per completed ad, up to two ad rewards per day. Daily limits reset at midnight Korea Standard Time. The one-time Unlimited Play Pack includes unlimited plays, an exclusive manager look and a profile badge. Restore purchases with the same store account. Compare your manager and the pack look in motion before buying. The clock helmet, glinting gold pin and its own closing lines also appear in the game. Unlimited lets you retry staffing changes and continue seven-day operations without waiting for plays to refill. Processing speed, coins, XP and equipment effects follow the same rules as free play. No game account registration is required. An internet connection is required to start new shifts and verify ads and purchases.
