Have you ever tasted albatross soup or heard about the scuba diver they found in a forest miles from the ocean? If you know the answers to these "situational puzzles," then you just might be a lateral thinker! Outside The Box will bend your brain and force you to think in new and innovative ways to solve lateral thinking puzzles. Animation and sound effects set up each puzzle scenario, providing clues for each one before revealing the solution. Although it's certainly still fun alone, we highly recommend working through the puzzles with a group - it's a perfect travel, dinner, or campfire activity!

If played with a group, one person reads the scenario aloud, and then answers yes/no questions as the others attempt to figure out the puzzle solution. Use the clues to help them along.
