Introducing an epic puzzle adventure: Pandora’s Legacy!

Pandora’s Legacy, TED-Ed’s first physical game, is an unforgettable experience that combines elements of jigsaw puzzles, escape rooms, puzzle hunts, and legacy board games into 12 to 15 hours of immersive, cooperative gameplay for 1 to 4 players.

What is the game about?

The Gods granted Pandora many wicked and wonderful gifts. From Poseidon, a pearl necklace that allowed her to breathe underwater. From Apollo, the gift of song. From Zeus, a sealed and forbidden box. And from Hera, the insatiable curiosity to open it.

And so Pandora gave into temptation and unleashed chaos upon the world.

That’s where the story usually ends. But it’s where PANDORA’S LEGACY begins. 

In this adventure, Pandora doesn’t just accept her fate; she is determined to set things right. That’s where you come in. Playing as Pandora, with the help (and hindrance) of your favorite Olympians, your mission is to corral the chaos you created when you opened the box.

How do you play Pandora’s Legacy?

Step 1: Assemble the first part of the jigsaw.

Step 3: Solving each puzzle means searching the jigsaw for what you need. Every piece has a number on the back. Find the right piece and you’ll solve a puzzle OR get more clues.

Step 4: Solve the puzzles and unlock more boxes! Some contain physical artifacts that are themselves puzzles. Others will reward you with more jigsaw pieces, filling in more of the illustration and advancing the narrative.
