About BattleBox
It plays a lot like Minesweeper, except you hunt for loot instead of clearing mines, which makes it a memory game first.
At the start of each level the grid shows you where everything is. After a few moments boxes cover it all, and from then on you work only from what you remember.

Your health is three strawberries. A monster takes one away, and finding a strawberry box gives one back if you have lost any. Lose all three and you have to retry the level.
The grid is a square with the same number of rows and columns, so it feels close to a board game. Treasure boxes add to your score, and once you have found every treasure on the grid you move on to the next site.
Most boxes hide something good, so the real brain work is keeping track of the few monsters. You can only afford a couple of wrong picks before the level resets.
Quick summary
- Each level starts by showing you the whole grid for a few moments.
- Then every square is hidden under a box and you pick boxes from memory.
- Treasure raises your score, strawberries heal you and monsters hurt you.
- Find all the treasure to reach the next site, or lose all three strawberries and start the level over.
Key features
- It is a treasure hunting take on Minesweeper.
- Every level opens with a short look at the full grid, so it rewards recall the way trivia games do.
- You have three strawberries of health and can win them back during a level.
- You open boxes by crossing a row with a column.
- An optional reward after an ad shows what is under every box for a limited time.
Tips & tricks
- Focus on the monster positions during the first look. Treasure is common, monsters are what end your run.
- Keep a piece of paper next to you and jot down where the monsters are.
- Mentally group the monsters or block off whole areas around them, then pick everything else.
- Save strawberry boxes until you have lost health, since they only heal a strawberry you are missing.
- If you forget the layout halfway through, the ad reward lets you see all the boxes again for a short time.
