Find the Box

Find the Box is a single-player, first-person digging game set in a quiet, candlelit spa hall. You search for a box buried inside a fully destructible cube, ranging from 1 million to 8 million blocks. You can dig at a calm pace or use upgrades to break blocks faster; there are no enemies or fail state.

Dig at your own pace

In the no-upgrades mode, you punch through the cube one block at a time. Every hole remains dug between sessions, so your tunnels and the box stay where you left them. Normal mode gives hints about whether you are getting closer to the box; Hard mode gives no hints. You can also turn upgrades off for a classic run, with separate leaderboards.

Build your approach

With upgrades enabled, each broken block drops a token. Collect tokens to level up, then choose from 18 spells and over 100 perks and upgrades, as well as dozens of buried specials. Options include a deeper drill, a wider punch, more hamsters and faster spells, and each build changes how you play.

You can upgrade your movement to navigate your tunnels quickly. Movement options include sprinting, sliding, wall climbing, running and jumping, with more unlocked through perks and secrets.

Cubes and challenges

There are four cube sizes: Standard (1 million blocks), Large (2 million), Very Large (4 million) and Humongous (8 million). Beat one size to unlock the next. In Boxless mode, you race to clear part of the cube instead: half the blocks on the smallest size, down to a quarter on the largest. You can enter a seed to race a friend through the same cube, but seeded runs do not count on leaderboards.

Timed runs

Every run is timed, and the clock stops when you reach the box. Local leaderboards track your best times for each cube size and difficulty; global leaderboards let you compare times with players worldwide for today, this week, this month and all time. The Daily Cube gives everyone the same cube, one attempt per day and a shared leaderboard. Pure runs with upgrades off have separate boards.

The game includes over 70 achievements and autosaves your digging and the box's location between sessions. A Standard cube can take under half an hour to clear, while a Humongous cube on Hard mode can be a longer project to tackle a little at a time.
