In our playtesting of a beta version, we found that even at this early stage, Pandora's Box is a highly polished, visually enticing package that will likely win many fans among casual (and laptop) gamers. While we didn't sample all the puzzle types, the ones we did look at were highly original and, on the whole, quite a lot of fun to play. In general, the puzzles we played could all be classified as variations on the jigsaw puzzle concept, but they each have significant twists that make them unique and compelling. For example, in one puzzle, the pieces can change size depending on where they placed; in another, rather than being placed, the pieces must be rotated around a circular disc until they are in the proper position.
