Questions, bugs or feedback? The answers to the common questions are below. If you can't find yours, email us and we'll get back to you.

Email support

Tell us your device (for example iPhone 15, iPad Air or MacBook Air) and its iOS or macOS version. For a bug, say which level you were on, what you did and what you saw. You can also tap Contact support in Settings › About Box Day.

Purchases

I bought Box Day Pro, but it isn't unlocked

Make sure you're signed in with the Apple Account you bought it with. Then open the Pro sheet and tap Restore purchase, or go to Settings › About Box Day › Restore purchase.

If someone in your family approves your purchases (Ask to Buy), Pro unlocks as soon as they approve it.

Do I have to buy Pro again on my iPad or Mac?

No. Box Day Pro is one purchase for iPhone, iPad and Mac. On another device, sign in with the same Apple Account and tap Restore purchase.

Does Box Day Pro work for my family?

Yes. Box Day Pro supports Family Sharing, so everyone in your family group can use it on their own devices.

How do I get a refund?

Apple handles payments and refunds. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com.

Progress

Will my progress move to a new device?

Box Day has no accounts, so your progress is saved on your device. It's included in your device's iCloud or computer backup, so restoring a backup to a new device brings it with you. Progress isn't synced between your iPhone, iPad and Mac, but Box Day Pro comes back on any device signed in to your Apple Account.

How do I start again?

Settings › Reset progress, then Erase everything, clears your stars, streak, stickers and stats. It can't be undone. Your settings stay, and Box Day Pro stays unlocked.

Playing

How do I move?

Swipe to walk one step, or turn on Settings › Hold to keep walking and keep your finger down. You can also tap a floor tile to walk there. If swipes feel too twitchy or too slow, change Settings › Swipe sensitivity.

On a Mac, or an iPad with a keyboard: arrow keys or WASD to move, Z to undo, R to restart, H for a hint and P to pause.

I'm stuck. Can I undo?

Yes, as often as you like, and restarting is free too. There are no timers and no lives.

How do hints work?

A hint shows the next best move from wherever you are, even if you've wandered off the best route. You get two free hints in every level (restarting doesn't refill them). With Box Day Pro, hints are unlimited.

What does par mean?

Par is the fewest moves the room can be solved in, worked out by our solver. Deliver every parcel in par moves for three stars. After a level, Watch the par route shows you how.

When does the Daily change?

At midnight, your local time. Everyone gets the same puzzle each day. With Box Day Pro, past Dailies are in the Archive on the title screen.

How do I play a level a friend shared?

Open the link they sent, or scan their QR code, and Box Day opens the level. You can also open the Workshop, paste the level code, and find it under the levels shared with you. Playing shared levels is free; building your own needs Box Day Pro.

Where are achievements and leaderboards?

Open the Album and tap Game Center. To sign in or out of Game Center, use the Settings app › Game Center on iPhone and iPad, or System Settings › Game Center on the Mac.

Settings

How do I get a daily reminder?

After your first Daily, Box Day offers a reminder in the morning, at lunch or in the evening. You can turn it on or off later in Settings › Daily reminder. Reminders are local notifications. If they don't appear, check the Settings app › Notifications › Box Day!.

Can I play if I'm colour-blind?

Yes. Coloured parcels and their bays also carry shapes, and Settings › High-contrast bays draws stronger outlines. Box Day also supports VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and Reduce Motion.

Can I turn off the sound?

Yes. Settings has separate switches for Sound effects, Music and Haptics.
