Boxboy + Boxgirl is a puzzle game about creating and using blocks to get across the stage.
Puzzle game
This game really excels when it comes to spatial awareness, logic and puzzle-solving.
In co-operative play, it's really vital for the two players to talk to each other about what they think could work, and how they think they could solve the puzzle.
As an adult, try to take the back-seat when it comes to solving the puzzle.
Get your kid to experiment with making blocks and jumping on them in the game.
Ask them "what do you think we should do?" or "I wonder how we can get up there?"
We found it helpful to have a couple of cubes in real-life to show what we were planning on making to help each other.
I would I would say take it really slow with this, learning how the boxes can extend is tricky
Don't supply the answers
If you have some physical cubes, try manipulating them in real life
Talk about what you're trying to achieve in each puzzle
Ask the kid what they think we should do
Let them take the lead if they're willing
