Use your brain instead of your reflexes. Beautiful, creative puzzles. Can be played on XP with a quick, easy, free patch available from Microsoft.

A Puzzling Experience.

Loved the game. Still do. I have played it many times before, just to get a better understanding of the different puzzles included in the game, and also to try and better my personal scores. If there is a better puzzle game out there, I would like to see it. It has kept me captivated hours on end each time I open up a new account for play, and I will keep playing it for years to come for that reason.

A computer game for people who don't play computer games

Pin ball makes me grit my teeth, other computer games are either too violent, too complicated to figure out how to play or too juvenile. But Pandora's Box is the exception. It's the game for lovers of geography, art, history, mythology and for jigsaw puzzle lovers. The graphics are stunning, the music, while not the best feature, lends the right note, changing from African drums to a Caribean beat to pomp & circumstance depending on what parts of the world your game takes you. If you don't want to keep score you can also solve the puzzles on their own. This is my second copy and I hope Microsoft brings out a third installment with new puzzles.

I had played it at a friend's house, and enjoyed it immensely.
A young student and I spent hours just having fun with it. Each puzzle opens up a new dimension. A new way to look at a problem to solve it.

Encourages thinking and problem solving.
I don't know why Microsoft discontinued it, but I found it to be most thought provoking.
Mr. Gates, get it back out there.

Give me more!

Our family has delighted in playing this game for several years. We've enjoyed the variety of puzzles and the various challenges offered at each of the levels. And beyond that, we've enjoyed the photography and art that is featured in the games. I have looked in vain for other computer games that are as enjoyable...until I saw that there is a millenium edition of Pandora's Box with 40 more games. I am so disappointed that I can't find a copy that I plan to search for a used one. After 7th Guest and 11th hour games were exhaused, we revelled in Pandora's Box. I long for more of these challenging types of computer games.

I like this game. The puzzles get a bit repetitive in that they are variations of the same type. But the content is so interesting, and you get to travel all over the world and visit places while challenging your mind. The graphics are quite beautiful and varied.

Best Game I ever owned !!!!

I really enjoy playing this game. The box states that you can solve the puzzles in 15 minutes or less, but there is no need to worry if you take longer for you can take as long as you need. Some of the puzzles are a little fustrationing, but if your really into solving the puzzle you'll keep trying. In the end you'll end up with a great looking image. The images in this game are great.

Awesome and Addicting

I'm not big on computer games. I generally get bored after a short amount of time,but Pandora's Box changed all that. This game is just plain old fun.The puzzles are challenging but not frustrating. It grabs hold of you and you want to play for hours till you get computer cramp. The only drawback may be that a couple of the puzzles are hard to see, but thats not enough to not buy this game. It's worth every penny and hopefully there is a game two in the making.

It was fun!

Pandora's Box is the type of game that starts easy and ends hard. If you don't mind having to sit through the easy levels to get to the hard ones, this game will definately be worth your while. If not, then you can just do the puzzles and not the game. Either way, I think everyone will be satisfied with this product.
