Hi! Does anyone know of any accessible IMessage games? A lot of people I know play Game Pigeon, but so far I can't get any of the games to work enough to be playable.
Disclaimer: The following is an excerpt from the App Store description.
"Minimalistic visual clues make for incredibly satisfying “Aha!” moments, while sonic interfaces provide an extra level of guidance and nuance that makes Blackbox accessible with or without vision. Thoughtful haptic feedback, Easter eggs on Easter eggs, and solutions that can’t be found beneath the glass of your screen redefine what a puzzle can be. You’ll never see your device the same way again."
Hello,
I've played this game, and it's really fun. However, what does this have to do with iMessage? Also, how to bipass those higher places--see another forum I posted in about Blackbox--when mountains and high rises aren't exactly in your neighborhood? If I knew this and whatever workarounds I might have to do from here, I might pick this back up?
When you are in a conversation, just above the area where you would normally type out a message, is an 'Apps' button. I think, visually, it looks like a "plus sign".
Anyways it will be just another app aded to the list of apps that work within Messages/iMessage.
On a sidenote, you can go to Settings > Messages to see what apps are 'allowed' within Messages. You can toggle these on and off at your pleasure.
Not sure if there is a work-around for this one. Looking at walkthrus for the game, I have noticed there is a hidden(?) Meta puzzle. it is mentioned just after the elevation puzzle, so maybe there is something to that. 🤷🏼♂️
Hello,
I'm stuck on challenge type 10 with the wifi bars, so what do I do here? Remember that just a tip will do/I can't get into the discord server for some reason even though I've read the rules. Anyway, I've tried turning my airplane mode off and on again, and Bluetooth off and on again ... no dice. the hints are: 1. Sorry. you're breaking up; 2. Sometimes, it's good to get off the grid; and 3 so far: it looks like a disconnect. of course, I'm just going off memory here, but does Blackbox need to alwys be open ... say for the moon faze one and the power charging puzzles? what a drain on the battery, so ...
Hello,
I guess you know this from the hints and clues on the puzzle pack? This is very good so far, like I remembered, and glad it kept my progress from within Game Center
Hello,
That's okay as I like a challenge sometimes. However, it can be frustrating and all, so ... Keep plugging away, and you'll get it. as Jessy said, though, you might feel dumb when you do get it and think, "Oh, I wondered if they'd do ... X thing." So, for the Internet signal bars, I'm thinking you have to have your power off--literally in your house/so during a storm which knocks out power? Either that, or taking my phone and Blackbox down into Marble Cave--at an ammusement park near my location? you don't have wifi down there, so could that be it? Of course, I wouldn't take my phone to that theme park unless it was in a plastic bag and fanny pack.
For the puzzle in question, you (only) need to adjust certain settings on your iPhone in a particular order.
Consider the clues:
1. "Sorry. You're breaking up. Imagine if you were using something like FaceTime, and you lost Wi-Fi. . .
2. "Sometimes it's good to get off the grid". . People who 'go off the grid' typically have no easy means of being reachable electronically. What can you do to remove the ability to track you down by network or gps?
3. "So far, it looks like a disconnect". This clue I think is just there to throw people for a loop. It is basically what happens after the 2nd step.
Hello,
I'm on the time 10 challenge and for the "Sorry, you're breaking up!" hint, I'll turn off WIFI. I guess I need to turn off Find My for the "Sometimes," it's good to get off the grid" hint? I'll try that now. That didn't work so maybe, turn off location tracking? Hopefully I can turn that back on/for sure can turn both Wiff and Find My back on. Turning off Bluetooth didn't work, so where's location services? again, this game could be very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing, right? I don't want to turn off my cell service, so what to do next? I've turned airplane off and on--airplane mode, still no luck. Maybe, I need those guides for this particular light to come on, just to be safe. either that, or I need to once again abandon the game!
Hello,
If I have issues again, where can I find this Blackbox guide for puzzles? I'm not wanting to cheat, but I tried those steps before, and nothing happened hahaha!

Okay, so what about the Wifi bars?

Do some things in a particular order
If you just want a hint, then here you go. You have to go from being on Wi-Fi to having absolutely no service.
Protip, when you figure this one out, you will bang your head on the nearest wall. True story.
Does Blackbox need to be open the entire time I'm playing?
Hello, Does the blackbox need to be open the entire time I'm playing? So, I guess the router needs to have no service, either? wow, so cool!
Not entirely
Some puzzles later on require you to open the app at certain times of day, etc.
I guess you know from the hints/clues
Hello,

It is a challenging game.
There are a bunch of guides for solving all of the puzzles online. I just read too much. . . 🤷🏼♂️
That's okay, I like a challenge at times!

Not so elaborate
For the puzzle in question, you (only) need to adjust certain settings on your iPhone in a particular order.
Consider the clues:
1. "Sorry. You're breaking up. Imagine if you were using something like FaceTime, and you lost Wi-Fi. . .
2. "Sometimes it's good to get off the grid". . People who 'go off the grid' typically have no easy means of being reachable electronically. What can you do to remove the ability to track you down by network or gps?
3. "So far, it looks like a disconnect". This clue I think is just there to throw people for a loop. It is basically what happens after the 2nd step.
Anyways, good luck~
I'll try this now, giving play-by-play, okay

From the guide
The solution is to:
1. Turn on Airplane Mode
2. Turn off Wi-Fi.
HTH.
