Boxville in IOS

Adventure puzzle game

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

88/100

Boxville is a stunning point-and-click adventure that feels like a labor of love. The hand-drawn art style is evocative of 'Machinarium,' but with its own unique, slightly softer cardboard-world aesthetic. The game tells its story entirely through visual cues and speech bubbles filled with drawings, making it a universal experience that transcends language barriers. It’s a quiet, contemplative game that rewards observation and logical thinking.

The puzzles are cleverly integrated into the environment. You aren't just solving abstracts; you're helping the inhabitants of Boxville with their daily problems, which makes the world feel alive and reactive. The sound design is equally impressive, with a gentle, atmospheric soundtrack that complements the visual style perfectly. It’s a short experience—typical for the genre—but every minute is polished and memorable. A must-play for fans of indie adventure games.

Boxville is 2-in-1: an animated film and a puzzle game.

Boxville is an adventure puzzle game about speechless cans living in the city of boxes and drawing doodles on cardboards to tell the stories.

Boxville is good for playing alone to dive into the atmosphere and challenge your brain with sophisticated logic puzzles and riddles, or playing with a friend or family to share unique audio-visual experiences and solve the puzzles together.

Design

The core idea of the game is that it’s not just a game - but also an animated film that you can watch and play at the same time.

We designed Boxville’s gameplay with the purpose of taking away your anxiety and stress. You can explore and observe the world without rushing and pressure.

The game is full of environmental quests and logical puzzles that we have carefully picked from among hundreds of options.

Story

Boxville is a city of boxes populated with old cans. They live quiet and happy lives with their everyday routines and habits. But one day, unexplained earthquakes disturbed their idyll...

Blue Can (our hero) lost his best friend because of that. He started his search but it is not so easy to move through the city after earthquakes. He has to find a way to move forward, return the friend back home and discover the real reason for all those earthquakes. There are many adventures, new friends and it’s not only friends that are waiting for him on the way.

He has to be curious, inventive, careful, and to help others, to reach his goal.

What you can expect to see and hear in Boxville:

- Hand-drawn graphics — all backgrounds and characters are carefully drawn by our artists.

- Every animation and sound is created especially for each interaction.

- Unique music track was created for every scene to accomplish the atmosphere of the game.

- Tens of logical puzzles and mini-games are tightly incorporated into the story of the game.

- There are no words in the game — all characters communicate via cartoony speechbubbles.


Requires iOS 13.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
