Puzzle Box Palace

Enter our virtual escape room & solve puzzles to get out !
You are pulled into a magical puzzle box that you received as a gift from your grandfather . Solve puzzles to progress and escape !
Puzzle Box Palace is a 3D puzzle game for Windows . Players progress through five increasingly complex puzzle rooms , returning to the puzzle box ’ s central room between each level . As players progress , they use the game ’ s puzzle mechanics to move and twist pieces of the puzzle box into place . The central room teaches players new mechanics before they enter each puzzle room , and then the puzzle rooms challenge players with logic puzzles , spatial reasoning puzzles , and observational puzzles . Players can also use light platforming skills to solve puzzles in creative ways as they navigate the puzzle box . Players can find pages of their grandfather ’ s letter scattered throughout the puzzle box , piecing together their relationship with their grandfather as they move through the game .
Puzzle Box Palace was released for download on Steam in early 2021 . It was developed over the course of six months , for a total of roughly 200 hours of development time per person , and represents two years worth of game development study .
