You only have one bullet and your weapon won't reload. The only way to get more bullets is to kill other players! You can use your box-cutter, but be careful because others can see it! The player with most kills by the end wins.

One of the boxes is the powerful juggerbox! Only the juggerbox can score points by killing the other boxes, but the other boxes must try to kill it to steal its power.​ By the end of the match the box with most points wins!

In this mode, there are special box 'kingdom areas' that spawn at regular intervals in various places on the map. By standing alone in a kingdom area, you will be the king of the boxes, and you will get a point every 3 seconds. If someone else enters the kingdom area, it will become contested and won't give any points until only one box remains in the area. By the end of the match, the box with most points wins!​

✦ AI summary

What The Box? offers a creative and fun concept centered around hiding among cardboard boxes in multiplayer matches, with players praising its unique hide-and-seek gameplay mechanics and deceptive design. However, the game suffers from a small player base and appears to have been abandoned by developers, leading players to criticize it as a cash grab that should have gone free-to-play to sustain its community.

What The Box? is a multiplayer indie shooter developed and published by Bitten Toast Games Inc. that builds an entire competitive experience around one absurdly simple idea: every player is a cardboard box. Instead of armored soldiers or sci-fi operatives, you control an animated shipping crate dropped into an arena filled with dozens of identical, motionless boxes. The result is a chaotic blend of hide-and-seek deception and fast-paced shooting, where survival depends just as much on patience and positioning as it does on aim. At its core, the game thrives on disguise. Each match begins with players scattered across maps cluttered with static boxes that serve as camouflage. Standing still allows you to blend seamlessly into the environment, forcing opponents to scan carefully for subtle signs of life. The tension comes from the constant question: is that box slightly out of place, or is it just part of the map? This prop-hunt foundation creates an atmosphere of paranoia, as players hesitate before firing, knowing that every shot reveals their own position. It transforms standard shooter instincts into a psychological guessing game. Mechanically, What The Box? supports both first…

This game should have gone free to play, as the game was left to die. It was an interesting idea, but was sadly left to be just a cash grab.

Very fun! There's a Discord channel, so maybe more people can gather for some multiplayer games.
