Description

So you think you understand this thing you’re holding? Think again. Stop tapping. Stop swiping. In fact, stop touching the screen at all. To crack Blackbox’s puzzles you’ll need to find solitude and stillness, climb mountains, call on friends, get in tune with the cosmos, and think outside the box.

Minimalistic visual clues make for incredibly satisfying “Aha!” moments, while sonic interfaces provide an extra level of guidance and nuance that makes Blackbox accessible with or without vision. Thoughtful haptic feedback, Easter eggs on Easter eggs, and solutions that can’t be found beneath the glass of your screen redefine what a puzzle can be. You’ll never see your device the same way again.

Think you’re clever? Prove it.

(Blackbox is a living game under active development by Ryan McLeod. When not eating burritos or drinking coffee, he’s busy designing and developing new Blackbox challenges.)

What’s New

Version 2.2.13

This is a hotfix! iOS 17.4.1 broke some stuff, but I fixed it (hotly)

■ Fixed a certain double dark-teal challenge that was crashing on launch.

If you lost progress or anything from reinstalling the game trying to fix this, first of all please stop doing that, and second please email me if I can maybe help ryan@growpixel.com

Editors' Notes

The most ingenious thing about Blackbox’s puzzles isn’t that you solve them without tapping or swiping. It’s that you’ll happily spend hours figuring out the game’s subtle clues. Do you need to tilt your iPhone, shout into the speaker or do something a lot trickier? Thinking creatively and finding the answer feels deeply rewarding, even profound—earning Blackbox an Apple Design Award.

Cool game

I’m a student and if I were working, I’d definitely buy the “Burrito for Ryan” pack just because I feel like the creator fr deserves it. For the people who bought the pack .. thank you. If the burrito comes from them, it came from me too lol. The game has a few funny comments too. I’m stuck on a few boxes but idm. This game is legit just fun to play with. Some boxes are easy but I have a feeling the creator did that just to make sure we don’t quit the game entirely lol. Oh well. Thanks for the game Ryan 🤝🏽

I love this

This game is great, it actually challenges me abs has no luck based features.
The only thing is that it has some requirements I can’t meet E.G. head phones, I can’t change my time and I don’t hav any friends that have it, other then that it’s great and I definitely wasn’t to buy the rest of the levels.
