theory11 Box Two Board Game by Neil Patrick Harris

Box 1 was slightly better but this one is very ingenious, challenging and fun. Great puzzles and surprising solutions. Bought it for Thanksgiving and play with all ages and everyone enjoyed it. Hopefully a Box 3 is in the works.

This was a wonderful way to spend an evening! My wife and I played box 1 when it came out, and couldn't wait to buy and play box 2. It was just as fun and I can't wait for box 3

The quality of the game is great... it's a beautiful, sturdy box. The gameplay, I didn't like as much as the first one.... I don't want to go into spoilers but in a way, this game wasn't solo, and I feel like you didn't do as much on your own as opposed to box one. I felt accomplishment and satisfaction after box one, this one not so much.

Not as challenging as its predecessor, box one, but still a great game. I won't offer any spoilers but what I will say is don't go exploring. Let the game guide you. You don't want to spoil anything for yourself. Also, set aside about 2 to 3 hours for the gameplay and have a flashlight and something a few inches longer than a pencil (I used a chopstick) handy. Oh and keep in mind that you will need internet access to play. There is no "offline" way to play. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this game but it would have been nicer to not have to spend as much time online. If you loved box one then you'll like this but maybe not quite as much. That said, I look forward to box 3. Oh and please reset the game and give it away. There is no replayability value in this so soread the wealth. And, if you decide to keep the souvenir mentioned in the final bit of gameplay please replace it with a note and a trinket (I used a small coin) for the next person.

It was enjoyable, but not nearly as fun as the first box. The puzzles were easy, the plot was boring, the AI feature was frustrating and slower than me at moving through the game so it felt really restrictive. I hated that I had to follow a scripted path rather than figure it out myself. It was obnoxious. There were a few surprises, but I didn’t feel like it was worth the cost EXCEPT that it can be reset and done by other people. It went way too fast, and honestly was just too easy. But, the quality of the box itself was good. Definitely do Box One, but maybe skip Box 2. I hope NPH reads these reviews, because a 3rd box like Box 1 would be welcome!

My wife and I love mystery boxes.... we were very active in another subscription based, HAK, until it was bought out and now is no longer worth the time... my wife found Box 1 for sale at our local Kroger and she picked it up.... we enjoyed it very much.. then we heard about Box 2 and I purchased it.... I have to be honest, Box 2 is just not a great time. Seems like it was dumbed down and we "solved" it in half the time of Box 1. We cannot recommend this for others.... especially those that completed Box 1 and expected the same quality... you will be disappointed....

I'm still in the middle of playing box one... But I couldn't help going ahead and getting box two. It doesn't take as long to play it as box one does but with that being said the puzzles are great! Honestly I think I would buy anything that Neil Patrick Harris has his hands in! His playing cards are in my basket now... Can't wait to order them!!! So to summarize this was a great game and I recommend it to anyone!

Box One was a perfect game, so I had huge expectation from its successor, but I was very disappointed with Box Two. Some of the puzzles were very good and mind blowing like Box One, but 70% of the puzzles were boring and it felt like they were saying "How can we spend time to make the game longer" when they were designing it. Most of the time you are chatting with an AI (not sophisticated one I must say), and he is spoon feeding you the answers and where to look. It doesn't feel like you solve it yourself, or that you can ever solve it by yourself. It's like you have to keep chatting with the AI until it gives a hint that is good enough. Also, the box arrived a bit damaged, and the "Certificate of completion" token was just sitting there in the box and was visible as soon as I opened the box. It's not a deal breaker and didn't effect the experience, but wasn't a good start. That said, I still enjoyed the game (a bit), looking forward to Box Three and hoping they'll learn from these mistakes.

Super fun comme jeu!

Best game out there!

Do it! Buy the Game!!! This was so fun! My husband and I had already completed BOX ONE and we just HAD to get our hands on BOX TWO < duhhhh lol VERY COOL!!! Keep em coming Neil Patrick Harris! Also… try out his swanky deck of cards!!

Like most other reviews... This second box by NPH was trash compared to the first. If you're okay texting a computer the whole time instead of playing the game then this is for you. The first puzzle box was my favorite I've ever done. This one?? I threw it out after 30 minutes. Not fun. Waste of money. Huge letdown. The only plus I have for this is some of the cool puzzles inside but even they are scarce.

My son-in-law has enjoyed bth Box One and Box Two. The games are different enough so it doesn’t seem like just more of the same.
