Black Box is a classic logic game. Four "atoms" are hidden in an 8x8 black box. Your goal is to determine their locations (without opening the box.) By firing "electrons" into the box and observing where (or if) they exit, you get clues to the atoms' locations.

Electrons always follow these rules as they move through the box:
- If an electron strikes an atom directly, it is absorbed.
- If an electron approaches a single atom to either side, it is deflected away from the atom.
- If there is an atom on the edge of the box and an electron enters on either side of it, it is reflected back (emerges at the point of entry.)
- If there are two atoms in a line with one empty space between them, and the electron attempts to go between the atoms, it is reflected back.
- An electron can be deflected or reflected multiple times before emerging or being absorbed.
As you fire electrons from the edge, marker chips are placed along the edge. Red chips mean absorbed, green means reflected, and matching yellow chips mark entry and exit points. (Screen Shots)
