Wake Up the Box: Creative Physics Puzzle Drawing
Wake Up the Box is a delightful physics puzzle game created by Eugene Karataev. The sleepy wooden box "Mister Box" has fallen into a deep slumber on precarious wooden beams and scaffolds, and it's your job to give him a rude awakening!
Using an innovative physics construction mechanic, players draw and attach wooden planks, counterweights, and wheels onto designated anchor beams. Let gravity, leverage, and momentum do the work as your creations tilt, tumble, and knock Mister Box off his perch.
Featuring dozens of progressively challenging puzzle levels, Wake Up the Box challenges your understanding of balance, center of mass, and mechanical advantage in a charming, physics-playground environment.
How to play Wake Up the Box
- Click and drag your mouse within the designated drawing area to draw custom wooden shapes and beams.
- Attach drawn shapes to existing brown wooden structures to create levers, pendulums, and ramps.
- Watch physics simulate in real time as gravity pulls your attached weight down.
- Knock or push the sleeping wooden box off the platform until he wakes up and falls off-screen.
Tips for winning and high scores
- Draw long, heavy beams to create powerful levers that multiply your pushing force against the box.
- Use circular or rounded shapes on slopes to create rolling boulders that build up high speed before impact.
- Take advantage of pendulums: attaching a heavy block to a high pivot creates a wrecking ball effect.
- If your contraption doesn't quite do the trick, press R to instantly reset and refine your drawn shape.
