Puzzlebox is a puzzle map that uses a handful of new KeeperFX features to create a fun and challenging experience for both casual and veteran players.
Completion time varies depending on knowledge of game mechanics, but the average is around 1h30. Bothersome tasks are also kept to a minimum. If you find yourself doing something for 30 minutes, you're probably wasting your time.
Please do not discuss spoilers in the comments. :) If you need help you can contact me on the Keeper Klan Discord.
I tried this a while ago, and I really appreciate the craftsmanship in it. To me however, this is not enjoyable as it is really is more of series of puzzles than a dungeon keeper level.
The puzzles themselves are finely crafted and creative, so if you do enjoy puzzles this is a great choice. If however you look to build a dungeon and kill heroes, skip it. When you do play it, I think saving frequently is recommended, as failing some puzzles could kill you and it is unlikely you complete all puzzles on your first attempt.
I simply had to add that this map is perhaps the pinacle of creativeness and fun that could have ever been put into a DK1-map. To me there is no other map that could ever match the level of professionalism that was put into this map. Thank you very much for letting us playing this masterpiece! (I mean there is even Walter in this map!)
Puzzlebox is a captivating and thought-provoking concept that aims to expand your understanding of game mechanics, encouraging you to delve deeper and analyze the intricate puzzle-solving elements within. It offers an engaging experience that challenges your cognitive abilities, providing a platform for enhanced problem-solving skills and critical thinking.
This map is truly an experience. Being abysmal at puzzles, it took me severals hours to get through this map - experiencing episodes of pain and agony mixed with joy and relief. I must admit I also had some small help (thank you!). Perhaps the most unusual and interesting map I have ever played in DK1. Definitely a must-see for anyone interested in KeeperFx.
I would not recommend this map to beginners at all because it requires some in-depth knowledge of the game's mechanics. It is a welcome change for advanced and veteran players though. There are a few subtle hints hidden in this map, so keep your eyes open. Basically everything there has a meaning and is there for a purpose. This makes this experience even more rounded after completing the map. Unfortunately for me, I was completely oblivious to those hints.
Loved the ending and the final riddle the most. Thanks for all the effort you put into it.
If you like puzzle maps, this is for you. It requires thinking about the game in a different way and using the tools at your disposal in ways you may not have thought about before. It requires some decent knowledge of the game's quirks, so is probably not recommended for absolute newcomers, but I think these features could be figured out with enough time and thought. Overall, a really fun map with some really unique challenges.

will there be a 1.3.0?
Possibly. I might update the door and the creatures behind it so it's easier to understand what do to there.
I'm also thinking of a Puzzlebox 2 ;)
