Is Neil Patrick Harris' Boxed Escape Room Wait-for-it... LEGENDARY?

Whether he was known as Dr Doogie, Barney Stinson in How I Met Your Mother – references to which are hidden in this review – or in one of his many musicals, we all know the passion of Neil Patrick Harris for magic and mysterious things.

In association with theory11, Neil Patrick Harris puts his face behind the case of Box ONE. There are several things that set this game apart from other typical escape games. I tell you about it now:

Presentation

The first thing to note about this game is that it is designed for single player or single player. The designers have arranged for it to be possible to complete from the age of 14.

Then, in my agreement with theory11, I have no right to reveal the contents of the box or the game. You want me to reveal everything now? Please.

On the other hand, I will take the liberty of showing you objects that they have chosen to show on their own site. When you open the box, you find a pen, a notebook, a small black envelope and challenge cards. This is how this game begins. I’m not telling you how it ends!

In general, here on RDS Video Games, we cover video games, but trust me, technology eventually gets into the story. It is not nothing for the game registered “internet required” on the box. So, if you were thinking of playing at the chalet where no internet connection is available, it will be impossible.

If you ever get stuck in a step, a help site has been built to unblock you. This resource is well thought out to avoid exposing you to elements of your journey that are still unknown.

Critical

It’s very difficult for me to talk about Box ONE without talking about its content. What I can tell you is that you are going to be surprised and that the adventure evolves in an intriguing way!

The theme of the game is strong and captivating. The experience takes us to surprising places with crazy stages! Each new route is simply awesome!

In terms of time, it took me a few hours to get through this box. Considering Box ONE is made for a 14-year-old player, the challenge is attainable.

If you are an expert in escape games, maybe the game will be too easy for you, but for others, the game is just hard enough to rack your brains, but still accessible. Even at my age, some steps took me a long time to figure out the solution.

All puzzles are logical and no flat shenanigans will stand in your way. The result: finding a clue, discovering something new, it’s always satisfying!

Although the game says it’s a single-player adventure, you can play two players with no problem. Maybe even three if you wish.

The game has no more mysteries once you have discovered all its secrets, but you can reset it to lend it to friends later.

Personally, I LOVED my experience with Box ONE and for sure I want to pass it on to all my friends so I can tell them about it afterwards by asking them for the highest high five! I’m very happy to have said challenge accepted!
