## Description
Get ready for an epic adventure with Pandora’s Legacy, TED-Ed’s first physical game, promising a super immersive cooperative experience for 1 to 4 players, lasting 12 to 15 hours! Imagine an addictive blend of giant jigsaw puzzles, escape room challenges, and the engaging narrative of a legacy game. Here, assembling the jigsaw is just the beginning of the journey. As the pieces fit together, you'll discover enigmas hidden within the illustration itself. Solving these puzzles, in true escape room style, is what will make you progress. Some solutions will reward you with incredible physical artifacts, which are, in themselves, new puzzles to be deciphered. Others will unlock more jigsaw pieces, expanding the illustration and propelling the story forward. You take on the role of Pandora, who, after unleashing chaos by opening her box, is determined to set things right. With the help (and sometimes hindrance) of the Olympian gods, your mission is to corral the mess you created. But there's a catch: the game comes with 17 mysterious boxes. Box Alpha holds the initial pieces of the main jigsaw. Once assembled, you access online clues to solve the first enigma. Each solved puzzle unlocks more boxes, revealing artifacts or new pieces to expand your map and the narrative. The challenges are clever and accessible, with an in-game hint system featuring over 200 suggestions to gently guide you. Countless surprises await at every turn, culminating in the thrilling finale of Pandora's quest to restore order to the world!
