About Wake Up The Box 2: Office Edition
You know those games where you tap or click on everything in sight just to see what happens? Wake Up The Box 2: Office Edition is exactly that, except everything you poke and prod has an actual purpose: waking up a grumpy little cube that just doesn’t want to get out of bed. Set in a fluorescent-lit office environment, you’ll find yourself testing every stapler, coffee cup, and squeaky swivel chair in sight. The humor really shines in the way objects interact—sometimes it’s as simple as pouring coffee into the box, other times you’ll set off a Rube Goldberg chain reaction involving a copier, a rogue paperclip, and enough post-it notes to wallpaper an cubicle.
What’s fun is how the game balances simplicity and surprise. The first few levels lull you into thinking, “Okay, this is easy,” then before you know it you’re dragging a floppy disk across the screen or firing off a toy missile launcher just to nudge our sleeping hero. There’s no hand-holding, but the feedback is immediate—an animated yawn here, a surprised jolt there—so you never feel stuck for long. Plus, each office-themed surprise gives you that little “aha!” moment, like discovering the filing cabinet doubles as a trampoline.
Visually, it’s clean and colorful without feeling overly cartoony. The background music is light and upbeat, and little sound effects like the ding of the elevator or the whirr of the fax machine really sell the atmosphere. It’s the kind of game you can leave paused on your phone, come back ten minutes later, and immediately remember exactly what you were trying (and failing) to do. And that’s part of the charm—you get this itch to go “one more level,” which is perfect for short breaks or when you’re pretending to work on something important.
Overall, Wake Up The Box 2: Office Edition is a clever little puzzle romp that doesn’t try to overcomplicate things. You click, you figure out the hidden triggers, the box wakes up, and you move on to the next cubicle adventure. It’s lighthearted, quick to pick up, and surprisingly satisfying whenever you crack a level wide open. If you need a brief mental escape between meetings—or just want to test how deep your desk drawer really is—it’s totally worth a spin.
