When you purchase a game on MysteryLocks' website, you can immediately download and print the game at your convenience, whether it's a single copy or multiple. This game includes 2 instruction pages (optional for printing) and 10 game material pages. Although the company provided us with a printed copy for review, this option isn't available as an add-on on their website, which would be a valuable feature for players without printer access.

On each page with game pieces, cut them out along the clear outlines. If assembly or folding is required, you'll see the outlines for that as well. We found that using double-sided tape instead of glue was much easier and less messy. Although the game's instructions were challenging for some assembly parts, following their YouTube instructions made it significantly easier.
After assembling everything, you'll need a device to connect to the internet, though there is an offline option if you download it in advance. This will allow you to access the storyline, submit your answers, and get helpful hints if you're stuck. The game featured really cool sci-fi music in the background, and each time we solved a puzzle, we were guided to the next one. One improvement we suggest is for the website to save your game progress, as currently, if the website freezes, you have to re-enter all answers from the start. Having learned from past experiences, we recorded our answers for this one, but re-entering everything remains inconvenient.
Having a notepad and pen or pencil is essential for jotting down notes or working through puzzles. Strong organizational skills are important because there will be numerous game pieces once they are cut out. The creator did an excellent job of visually marking which pieces are required for particular puzzles, and most pieces are used just once, allowing you to set them aside afterward. However, we did need to use the main game piece, "The Box," multiple times, which suited the game's theme.

In the game, we encountered at least nine puzzles that we needed to solve. These puzzles were diverse and captivating in their design. Some required us to assemble various pieces to visualize an outcome that wasn't initially apparent, while others involved using different paper materials to compile all the necessary information. Despite being just a cutout paper box, it felt like we were working on a mechanism akin to a computer motherboard or decoding secret computer languages, enhanced by the storyline.
