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.)

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.
One of the best puzzle games ever!
I’ve tried a lot of different puzzle games, but there nothing but old-school. This made me quit puzzle games, until I searched for something to train my brain, and I found this amazing puzzle game. The levels are triply, but they give a lot of satisfaction when you successfully solved it.
To the devs:
Go on, you did a great work! Make more tricky levels!
A very unique game
This game is not like some other games. I didn’t even figure out to play it at first. I won’t tell you how to cause it’s more fun to figure it out yourself. The only reason why I gave it four stars is because more then half of the levels needs you to pay. I think you can unlock more levels for us. But I still took a very long time to finish the levels that you don’t need to pay for. Overall, this game is very interesting and I recommend it to people who like to solve puzzles and problems.
