W.O.W. Beautiful Game!
Fri May 10 2024 Swampgirl9Finally, after playing a ton of puzzle games, one comes along that is so well engineered, intuitive, and beautifully crafted, that I am compelled to stop and write a review. After playing so many that seemed arbitrarily difficult, requiring me to go look for a walkthrough or remain stuck for a century, Boxes comes along to prove that puzzles can be intricate without being senselessly annoying, or so difficult, that help is the only answer. If you are brand new to puzzle games, and do not have years of trial and error under your belt, this is a perfect game to cut your teeth on. Further, while you are doing so, the player is treated to excellent craftsmanship and artistry, that few games can parallel. The ones that are similar, are the games that still stand out in my mind and continue to withstand the test of time. These developers have been at it for awhile and they have poured into Boxes, their accumulative experience, knowledge and expertise to create a unique experience for puzzle solvers of all ages and abilities!
I played the game on my iPad, and everything worked - the achievements showed up, I could tell where I was in the game after putting it down for a spell, and the story had continuity, without having to go back and piece it together. Boxes is a very special, beautiful, thoroughly enjoyable immersive experience. Thank you! It was such a pleasure to play.
Fantastic game!!!
Fri Nov 15 2024 BeccahRNI never write reviews, and I mean never. But I feel compelled to write one for this game. I love puzzle games, big fan of The Room series, House of Davinci, etc. I was looking for another game to fill the void when I finished those. This one fit my need perfectly. First of all, the graphics are stunning. The puzzles are clever, just challenging enough but not impossible. What I loved most was it’s just puzzle box after puzzle box. There is a little bit of a story but not much, which is fine with me. Some of the other games have too much of a story. Just give me the puzzles! There are 5 levels, and each level has 4-5 puzzle boxes. Then there are additional puzzles at the end of each level as you fit the tokens you collect into that levels end scenario (for lack of a better way to describe it) The whole game flows beautifully from one puzzle to the next. No glitches at all. Took me a couple of hours to finish, well worth the price of the full game. If you like puzzle box games you will not be disappointed!!! Game developers, PLEASE make a sequel!!
Didn’t want it to end
Tue Jan 20 2026 GeeGee123First, this game is gorgeous, challenging, immersive, and just difficult enough to make you proud when you solve a particularly difficult puzzle. There is a pretty generous amount of free-play, which is enough to get you hooked into buying the full game. Very clever. 😉 I really found myself completely absorbed with the game, until I realized that I was getting closer to the end. So, I found myself slowing down in order to savor the rest of the game. Alas, the end finally came, and it was satisfying. A couple of weeks later, I started over from the beginning, thinking it would be a breeze since I’d already solved everything once. I was actually pleasantly surprised by how much of it I had forgotten! There were some puzzles that were easier the second time around, but I’m fairly confident that most people could play this at least twice and still find it very entertaining—maybe more, depending on your level of memory loss 😄! Buy it. It’s a fun, challenging game.
Phenomenal game‼️👍🏼
Mon Jan 12 2026 TechTalkGuyYou begin this adventure by entering a mysterious building. You glance up and marvel over the intricate gears in motion.
You carefully place a box on a table. Upon opening that box, you uncover a few important items to help begin your journey.
After unlocking the glass case and taking the mysterious mask, you find yourself on a scavenger hunt searching for the first fragment.
There it is!
You found it.
Now, place this fascinating token into the slot machine and watch your world unfold before your eyes!
Let’s review:
✅ Outstanding graphics.
✅ Realistic animations.
✅ Realistic sound effects.
✅ Loaded with puzzles.
✅ No game ending traps.
✅ App does not track you.
✅ First 10 levels are free.
✅ No Time Limits.
✅ No ads.
✅ No subscriptions.
✅ No micro transactions.
✅ Game Center achievements.
The developers are generous to offer the first two chapters absolutely FREE of charge.
This is my favorite game in the App Store. I play it all the time. It’s worth the price tag.
The graphics alone are better than anything out there.
If you’ve ever owned an Atari 2600 VCS in the early 1980’s like I have, then you know how bad those graphics were and the price of games were much more expensive than this.
So, ignore the haters.
They have no idea how far technology has come in the past 25+ years.
This game is worth the price tag!
Rating: 5/5
Recommended: Yes of course! 👍🏼
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is amazing!!!
Fri Oct 17 2025 Victorea QueenHonestly, when I first saw the app cover, I wasn’t expecting much because it looked AI-generated — but this game is SO good! There’s so much attention to detail, and the puzzles are challenging enough to be fun without being frustrating. I also like that you can use as many hints as you need. I tried to limit myself to one per round, which, as I said, wasn’t really necessary since the puzzles were the perfect balance of difficult and doable. I do wish there were more levels, but I understand that creating something of this quality takes time and effort. However, I would’ve liked if the ending had been left a bit more open, so there’d be a chance for the story to continue in an update — though I’m perfectly fine with a second game instead of yearly updates.
“The Room” for Children
Fri Apr 25 2025 Variety ReviewIf you love the Room or DaVinci series, you probably won’t love Boxes as much as it looks like you might. Rather, Boxes is for if you love the Room series and have a young kid or girlfriend/boyfriend who might enjoy the Room but finds it too difficult. The look of Boxes is almost on par with the Room or DaVinci, perhaps a little more polished even, but the puzzles are more akin to finding a square block and putting the square block in the square hole or taking the 3 rings and putting the 3 rings in the three round spaces. Theres essentially no thought necessary for the puzzles (I breezed through the game and never needed the hint feature once; I need to use the hint feature in the other aforementioned games). If you’re looking for sometimes mindless, easy and pretty, Boxes is for you, but at the price tag, it’s just a visual journey with concepts ripped directly from the Room series. A more challenging and beautiful puzzle series is the Legacy series (of which there are now five).
I Love This Game So Much!!
Sun Aug 03 2025 JuliaGoolia11712I had to write a review in the hopes the developers make a follow up to this game. The graphics are very appealing. The sense of accomplishment as you go through each box is addictive! I was so sad when I got to the end. I purchased the full game as I feel in-app ads are too disruptive and take you right out of the story. PLEASE make a follow up and offer an ad free version. I tried to find something similar from this developer, but nothing else appears to come close. **Edit** I played the whole game again. Having played a couple of other games in the interim, I had to up my rating to 5 stars. I will likely come back and play again, just because no other game is so satisfying. Still waiting for a followup!
Amazing game but wont stop crashing as of this morning
Thu Apr 11 2024 BrokeboyJay22In installing the pre-order for this game i instantly fell in love with it and breezed by the 1rst 2 chapters which are free after spending the $7 to get the full game i played through a little bit of the 3rd chapter and got busy later throughout the day after a pretty stressful morning i went on to this game expecting to blow off some steam in some puzzle solving but anytime i load my progress i get to the puzzle i was on and the second i make a single move on my puzzle it crashes my game ive restarted app lowered my graphics quality and tried atleast 5 times to play it just for it to keep crashing on me i really do love this game but the performance just needs to be fixed hope i can get back to playing soon :)
