PSA: No iOS app can EVER access your facial or fingerprint data. All the app knows when it asks for your face or fingerprint is if authentication succeeded, failed, or was cancelled.

Blackbox 1.9.2 with COVID-19 mode is out. This should make solving outdoor-related challenges and earning free hint credits significantly easier. Does this helps you? Please let me know, as I may need to adjust thresholds on a per region basis. Safe safe puzzlers! 🖤🖤🖤

/r/blackboxpuzzles will continue to stay dark until things improve.
I wanted to take a minute to debunk Reddit's claims, and talk about their unwillingness to work with developers, moderators, and the larger community, as well as say thank you for all the support 💙

PineappleFan won 2nd place in our Discord fan art contest with this insane version of Blackbox that appears to have every challenge running at once? Did you know that that's kind of how I originally wanted the game to work? Except all the visuals were going to be blurry 🙃

You’re clearly a puzzle masochist but are you a weather masochist? Are you not getting enough verbal abuse from your weather app? You might want to try out fellow indie creation @CARROT_app. Complete with lovely banner ads like these!.

I love this. Blackbox is 100% supported by players like you. I may be cruel but I would never sell your data nor touch an ad network. Any analytics are anonymous and all sensor data stays on device and is never sent, sold, or shared with anyone. 🤐.

You’re great at solving Blackbox’s challenges. Today, I’d like your help solving a very different kind of challenge. Use the link to donate to orgs fighting racism and police brutality. Then reply with a screenshot, and I’ll double your donation up to the first $1000. 🖤⬛️

Blackbox is teaming up with @apolloreddit and @slopesapp to redirect our 2021 revenue from Russia to support relief in Ukraine. DM or @ us your receipt from and we’ll match 1:1 (up to $500) until our combined $10k is gone. Help drain our profits!

In solidarity with other subs and fellow indie developer @apolloreddit, /r/@BlackboxPuzzles is shutting down, effectively immediately. More details here:
Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. ❤️

A few weeks ago the mods on Blackbox's Discord held a fan art contest! It was humbling to see all your artistry, creative takes, and just how many people voted! To kick off celebrating the winners, here is third place by Jkohlin. Relics from Blackbox in the 80's perhaps? ;)

Thanks to you Blackbox is VoiceOver accessible. Thanks to you someone has a Blackbox tattoo. Thanks to you a lot of people saw beautiful things from beautiful places. Thank you all.
I wrote a teeny tiny collection of my thanks and thoughts about @BlackboxPuzzles turning 4 today. To anyone reading this who has taken a chance on me, supported my work, given me code, advice, or encouragement, you deserve a piece of this cake as well.
