About Box Out!
Box Out! is a sci-fi puzzle platformer and 2 player game where two space companions have to work together to get through each stage. Success comes from planning your route before anyone moves, and a sloppy plan can end badly for both of you.
The stages are tight green-on-black rooms full of crates, switch panels and red laser barriers. Working out who goes first and where each of you needs to be is most of the puzzle, and the platforming is there to test whether your plan holds up.
It's couch co-op, so both players sit at the same computer and share one keyboard. A playthrough takes about half an hour, and the main menu also has a leaderboard. You can play Box Out! online right here in your browser.
How to Play Box Out!
- Click Start on the main menu; Settings and the leaderboard sit just below it.
- Sit side by side with a friend at one keyboard, click inside the game window, and follow the game's prompts for each player's keys.
- Look over each stage before anyone moves and agree on a route.
- Use the crates, switches and laser gates together, with each player covering a different part of the room.
- Get both companions through the stage to move on to the next one.
What to Expect in Box Out!
Expect a co-op puzzle game that rewards talking to each other. Rushing ahead tends to leave one of you stranded, so the best attempts come from a quick plan and clear calls about who does what.
The look is clean green pixel art against a starry backdrop. As a 2 player game for one computer, it needs no setup, and you can start Box Out! free in this tab the moment a friend sits down.
Tips for Box Out!
- Talk before you move: say who goes first and where each of you needs to stand.
- When a plan falls apart, stop and replan together instead of improvising.
- Study the switch panels and laser gates first, since they show what has to happen and in what order.
- Sit so neither player's hands get in the way of the other's keys.
- On harder stages, give the newer player the simpler role and let the other handle the tricky jumps.

Can I play Box Out! on a Chromebook or phone?
A Chromebook works, since Box Out! runs in a normal browser tab and both players use the keyboard. Phones are not a good fit, because two people need to share physical keys. A laptop or desktop with a full keyboard gives you the most room.
Is Box Out! unblocked at school?
Box Out! needs only a browser tab, with no download or install. Whether it opens on a school or work network depends on that network's filters, which we do not control. If it loads for you, it plays the same as anywhere else.
Is Box Out! a 2 player game?
Yes. It's built around two people playing together on the same computer, sharing one keyboard. Each of you controls a space companion, and most stages only work when you coordinate, so it's a good pick for a friend, sibling or partner sitting next to you.
How long does Box Out! take to finish?
A playthrough takes about half an hour. That makes it a good length for one sitting with a friend, and the leaderboard on the main menu gives you something to look at once you've made it through the last stage together.
