Totally random celebrationβ¦ but I'm making BLACKBOX FREE all weekend (until 11:59pm local time on Sunday). If you already bought it THANK YOU for your early support and for keeping the game alive! Please tag and tell your friends who might have missed this!! π
Happy 5th Birthday Blackbox!! You've grown up to be a wonderful little app and now you're on iPad too. Look at you go⦠new haptics, new looks, new hints, new merch and all. What will you do next??
Feeling grateful. Iβm doubling all emojis sent to this tweet!
Send an emoji, Iβll send TWICE AS MANY back! Only doing this for the next 30 minutes.
PSA: No iOS app can EVER access your facial or fingerprint data. All the app knows when it asks for your face or fingerprint is if authentication succeeded, failed, or was cancelled.
Blackbox 1.9.2 with COVID-19 mode is out. This should make solving outdoor-related challenges and earning free hint credits significantly easier.
Does this helps you? Please let me know, as I may need to adjust thresholds on a per region basis. Safe safe puzzlers! π€π€π€
Can you believe itβs my 3rd birthday today!?! Thank you for having been a part of something so immensely special to me. It ainβt over yet! π β¬οΈ
I wanted to take a minute to debunk Reddit's claims, and talk about their unwillingness to work with developers, moderators, and the larger community, as well as say thank you for all the support π
The easiest Blackbox challenge yet.

PineappleFan won 2nd place in our Discord fan art contest with this insane version of Blackbox that appears to have every challenge running at once? Did you know that that's kind of how I originally wanted the game to work? Except all the visuals were going to be blurry π
Youβre clearly a puzzle masochist but are you a weather masochist? Are you not getting enough verbal abuse from your weather app? You might want to try out fellow indie creation

. Complete with lovely banner ads like these!
I love this.
Blackbox is 100% supported by players like you. I may be cruel but I would never sell your data nor touch an ad network.
Any analytics are anonymous and all sensor data stays on device and is never sent, sold, or shared with anyone.

Youβre great at solving Blackboxβs challenges. Today, Iβd like your help solving a very different kind of challenge.
Use the link to donate to orgs fighting racism and police brutality. Then reply with a screenshot, and Iβll double your donation up to the first $1000. π€β¬οΈ
I didn't want to announce this pre-maturely but I'm proud to announce that Blackbox is now available on

Blackbox is teaming up with
@apolloreddit
and
@slopesapp
to redirect our 2021 revenue from Russia to support relief in Ukraine.
DM or @ us your receipt from and weβll match 1:1 (up to $500) until our combined $10k is gone. Help drain our profits!
The gold medal winner of our Discord fan art contest and my little black heart. I had such a stupid, astonished smile on my face when I first saw Gibdo's entry. Nuff' said!!

More details here:
Apollo will close down on June 30th. Redditβs recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. β€οΈ
A few weeks ago the mods on Blackbox's Discord held a fan art contest! It was humbling to see all your artistry, creative takes, and just how many people voted! To kick off celebrating the winners, here is third place by Jkohlin. Relics from Blackbox in the 80's perhaps? ;)
Hey,
Ryan here.
Can you help me test out my new app? ( Ν‘Β° ΝΚ Ν‘Β°)
Plz reply if you don't see it on your App Store yet?
And if you do, show me what you create!!
Welcome to planet Blackbox.

Blackbox Number Neighbor Challenge
1) Text both number neighbors βwhy did you do this to me?β + your Blackbox link.
2) If I reply then congratulations: I am your number neighbor!

The first 10 players who send a screenshot with 2+ money locks π π showing a currency symbol that I havenβt seen yet (other than a $, β¬, or Β£) I will unlock all your challenges for free π€
βI solved this one with a space heater and a pair of black socks. This game leaves me wonderfully clueless sometimes, making every success all the more satisfying."
If you know, you know.
I love seeing where you all complete Blackbox challenges. This player submission is from Winter Park Colorado and I think I have an idea what challenge it wasβ¦ Do you remember where you solved some of the more iconic puzzles in Blackbox? βοΈ
This tweet is being ββββββ by your internet provider. ββββ ββ ββββ is what will happen if we ββββ

Thanks to you Blackbox is VoiceOver accessible. Thanks to you someone has a Blackbox tattoo. Thanks to you a lot of people saw beautiful things from beautiful places. Thank you all.
I wrote a teeny tiny collection of my thanks and thoughts about
@BlackboxPuzzles
turning 4 today.
To anyone reading this who has taken a chance on me, supported my work, given me code, advice, or encouragement, you deserve a piece of this cake as well.
Now that it's been a few days what do you think of Blackbox's new hint system? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
(And yes there are some free hints on here if you're good with colors π)
