Boxes Go Wild FAQ

Boxes Go Wild is a free, single-player number merge puzzle game for Android phones, with iPhone and iPad coming soon. It suits players aged 13 and over who like number puzzles, games they can pick up and put down anywhere, and chasing a high score on weekly and world leaderboards. The whole game plays offline.

Tap one of the five columns to drop the falling box into it. Boxes with the same number that touch merge into one box worth double, and one merge can set off the next. The game ends when a column is full. See How to play.

The merging is familiar; the rest is not. The board starts three rows high and rises with your score (WILD LIFT), and at full height STEAM BLAST clears the bottom row. Cursed crates double when their chains break, steel crates never merge but break apart, WILD RUSH doubles your points for 10 drops, and a gothic machine with a gargoyle, a bell tower and an announcer reacts to how you play.

Five columns. Each game starts with three rows open, and your score lifts the launcher one row higher at 60, 600 and 4,000 points, up to six rows (WILD LIFT).

There is no limit. A 2048 becomes a gold crate, and bigger boxes turn to crystal.

2, 4, 8 and 16 at first, with small numbers most often. Bigger values, up to 128, join as your biggest box grows.

No. You can pause the game to continue, restart or go home, but every drop counts.

Yes, with NEXT. It is free in your first three games and with WILD PASS; otherwise you can turn it on before a game with 80 coins or an optional video.

Each merge scores the value of the new box. Chains multiply it: ×1 for the first merge, ×1.5 for the second, ×2 for the third and so on. Three or more boxes merging at once add another ×1.25. See Tips.

Long chains fill the WILD RUSH gauge. When it is full, all your points are doubled for the next 10 drops.

Once the board is at full height, your points build steam. Release it to clear the whole bottom row, up to twice a game.

From 512 on, a steel crate can fall: it never merges, cracks on one merge next to it and breaks on a second, paying 10 coins. A cursed crate arrives in two chains; merges next to it break them, and it is freed at double its value.

Wild Bomb removes one box, Chain Blast clears every box with the same number, and Wild Card doubles one box. COMEBACK bursts the top three boxes of every column when the board is full, so the game goes on.

With coins, from the daily rewards, with an optional video, or in packs from the shop.

WILD RANKS has a world board with everyone's best score and a weekly board that starts fresh every Monday at 00:00 UTC. See WILD RANKS.

No. The game gives your phone a random player ID. You choose a nickname of 3 to 12 letters, numbers or underscores, and your country flag comes from your phone's region.

Only scores that beat your best are sent. If you were offline, your best unsent score is sent at the next game end or app start. Scores near the top are also checked with your phone's integrity check.

If you are in the world top 50 and allow notifications, yes, at most once a day.
