What is contained within the box? An array of puzzles!

Are you able to tackle all 100 and unveil what lies inside?

This puzzle game is created by Bart Bonte / bontegames.

If you need assistance, simply click the hint button located at the bottom of each level. Each level offers two hints.

By purchasing the premium unlock in-app, you will not encounter ads before accessing hints, and you will receive a skip level option after utilizing the two hints in every level.

(Note: The skip feature will only be available AFTER requesting the two hints in each level with the premium unlock.)

Have fun!

Useful Tips:

1. Observe Carefully: Each level has visual clues (shapes, arrows, numbers, or patterns) that hint at the solution. Pay attention to details like notches, colors, or positions.

2. Use Hints Sparingly: Each level offers two hints via the hint button. They provide nudges without fully revealing the answer. If you’re stuck, check the in-game question mark (?) for additional context, especially for levels like 43.

3. Experiment and Learn: Puzzles often involve trial and error to understand mechanics, such as button interactions or tile movements. Don’t be afraid to test combinations.

4. Think Outside the Box: Some solutions are simpler than they seem, while others require creative thinking. For example, level 22 can be overcomplicated—try the simplest approach first.

5. Mobile Features: Mobile versions use mechanics like tilting or swiping (e.g., level 3 involves tilting to roll a ball). Ensure your device’s accelerometer is enabled.

6. Pattern Recognition: Many puzzles rely on sequences or symmetry. For instance, level 16’s button order is determined by the number of notches on each button’s rim.

7. Premium Unlock: If you purchase the premium version, you get a skip button after using both hints, which can help with frustrating levels like sliding tile puzzles (e.g., level 52).

    This game doesn’t need any instructions. It’s simple to grasp and really fun to play. That’s impressive. Your hard work truly shines through in this design. Well done!

    Another fantastic game from this developer! I’ve bought a few of their games, and they’ve all been worth it. This one felt like it needed more levels, though. It seemed like just a way to remove ads and support the developer. But on a positive note, the developer kindly refunded me. That won’t stop me from buying more of their games in the future!

    The game brings joy until it hits a wall. This one level feels impossible, not a puzzle but frustratingly challenging. No way I'm paying to skip it. Deleting the app seems like the only solution. A suggestion for the developers: consider changing that level.

    The hints are terrible. Waiting for the ad to load takes forever. Often, I just end up Googling the level for hints instead. Some hints point out things that are obvious in the level. It feels frustrating to wait so long only to get something so basic.

    This game is a blast! It has fun puzzles that strike the right balance. Each one feels unique without going overboard. The challenges keep you on your toes. Some puzzles look easy at first glance, but they turn out to be much tougher than expected as you progress. The way the difficulty ramps up keeps things exciting. Overall, a great experience!

    I didn't expect to like this game at first. It surprised me and became really enjoyable. Some puzzles stood out more than others for me. Overall, it was a fun and addictive experience!

    What a fantastic game! I got it last year, and its artistry and puzzle design are stunning. After not playing for about six months, I decided to rearrange my apps yesterday. I included this game in the mix, but soon after, my phone screen was completely filled with an ad from the game. It pushed for an upgrade or purchase, with the logo glaring at me. Leaving that screen felt impossible. Using my phone became a struggle. Such a surprising turn for a game I love!

    Puzzles invite exploration of their unique mechanics. Most of them capture this essence nicely, but some ideas pop up a bit too frequently for my taste. Anyone familiar with Bart Bonte's previous games knows what to expect here. One significant letdown arises with the sliding tile puzzles. They break away from the discovery aspect that makes the other puzzles engaging. Encountering them led to frustration more than pleasure each time.

    This game is amazing! The puzzles are engaging, and the hints are really helpful. I finished it and can't wait to play again. Bart Bonte's games never disappoint, but this one stands out as my favorite.

    Games bring so much joy. The fun of playing is unmatched. Some levels challenge your mind, perfect for puzzle enthusiasts. Imagine if you could create entire puzzle boxes in 3D! Think of famous designs like the cryptex. That would create an incredible experience. Thanks for the game! Until next time, I'm diving into BLACK!
