Description

App crashing when you open the bottom-left orange challenge? A fix is coming! Please don’t reinstall the app or you may lose progress!

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.)

■ Did you know that some computers are case-sensitive while others are not? Anyway, this has nothing to do with why two puzzles no longer crash!

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.

Can’t recommend this enough

This is definitely THE best puzzle game out there, it really forces you to think “outside the box” as the description of it accurately says. Didn’t think twice before buying the full game.

FRUSTRATING

I’ve been trying for 4 weeks to solve your red box challenge which implies I don’t turn off my phone for 2 weeks. Which is impossible. It happened to crash and I had to restart the phone and all the progress was lost. The 5th time. I am deleting this app due to absolute frustration. I might install it back if you update that challenge since it’s the only one I had left to solve. The rest were solved or locked.

Sorry Roxaralu :[ It's been hard to find a sweet spot with that one since I don't want anyone to solve it accidentally but I may be able to lower it some. I hope you'll come back to try some new puzzles eventually ~Ryan
