Initial Campaign

The Initial Campaign is a 30-stage campaign for The Sandbox, and is the only campaign which is included for free in the app release.

Day 1 : Genesis

Let's get started with Day 1, shall we? Here are two simple tasks: Create Mud and Sand!




 * Make Mud: Mix Water and Soil to get fertile Soil, also known as Mud!


 * Make Sand: If Water erodes Stone long enough, you get Sand!

Day 2 : Sun Power

Now, I give you the power of... the Sun! Turn it ON and observe what happens above the Mud. (How 'bout zooming in?)




 * Discover Flower: Turn the Sun system ON -- Flowers will grow if there is Mud exposed!


 * Use zoom: Tap on the Zoom button to zoom in and out!

Day 3: Rain maker

Let's play around with the Weather. Time to create a storm!




 * Make Cloud: Turn the Weather system ON and Water will turn into Steam -- which turns into Clouds!


 * Make Electro: If a Cloud is big enough, lightning bolts will be created! Use Steam to enlarge them.(Unlock Steam from the element menu.)

Day 4: Save it

Would you look at that? We made a bit of a mess! How about we learn how to manage and clean up our universe?




 * Save Universe: Access the World section and save your creation!


 * Reset Universe: Tap the Reset button in the World section!


 * Load Universe: Load any Universe!

Day 5: Burning trees

I'm feeling destructive today...hey, that's a nice Forest. Give that Temperature Button a whirl and see what happens!




 * Make Fire: Increase the Temperature!


 * Make Oil: Burnt trees will drop ashes on the ground. Put some pressure over them!


 * Burn Oil: Use Fire on Oil and watch it burn!

Day 6: Mine and plant

Look at that majestic Mountain. I wonder if Mining it will produce anything new...?




 * Mine the Mountain: Use the Pickaxe Tool in the World section on the Mountain and discover a new Element!


 * Make Tree: Plant one Seed in Mud while the Sun system is ON to grow one tree.


 * Make Lava: Heat up stone by igniting oil or a bunch of trees with fire.

Day 7: Metal Box

Now that we have Metal, try making a Metal Box where I drew the square. I think it's somehow related to circuits...




 * Draw the Metal Box: Draw a Metal Box where the green box is.


 * Make Electricity: Throw some Electros at your Metal Box!

Day 8: Lighthouse

The Lighthouse I made looks pretty, doesn't it? Alas, I don't know what it can be used for. Got any ideas?




 * Place the Missing Bulb: Do you see 2 Powered Bulbs? There should be 2 somewhere...

Day 9 : Boiling

Ever since we discovered Electricity, I've had this 'hot' idea in my head -- but I'll let you Power up the design.




 * Make Heater: Use a Power element where the arrow is pointing!


 * Show the Glow: Turn the Light ON and watch Electricity run through an open circuit to create Sparks!

Day 10: Freezing

Now that we've built a Heater, I believe we can build its opposite, right?




 * Make Cooler: Use a Power pixel where the arrow is pointing!


 * Make Ice: When Water is sufficiently cooled, it turns into Ice! Throw in some Water!

Day 11: Volcano

Ok, I've got a little challenge for ya! Here is a Volcano, and a list of tasks. Accomplish them without changing the Temperature of the Universe!




 * Light the Volcano: Use any means to light the Volcano (except the Temperature system)!


 * Boil some Water: Boil Water without changing the Temperature system from Normal!

Day 12: Freezing Lake

Let's keep the challenges coming. Here's a Lake and a new set of tasks. Good luck!




 * Make Glass: Try converting Sand to Glass, somehow.


 * Make Snow: Do you see those clouds? Can you make them snow?


 * Freeze the Lake: Let's freeze all of that water.

Day 13: Destilation

Time to learn something new! Did you know that Water has three states, and yet we describe it four different ways?




 * Water Distillation: Add Heater and Cooler, then turn the Power Element ON by holding your finger on it.


 * Melt Snow: Melt some Snow without changing the Temperature system from Normal!

Day 14: Oil Lamp

Check out this new super-cool Element: Multi. If you learn how to use it, I may just give it to you!




 * Check out this new super-cool Element: Multi. If you learn how to use it, I may just give it to you!


 * Make Oil Lamp: Make the Oil Lamp work! Don't forget to light the Oil

Day 15: Fill!

Here's a new Tool: Fill. True to its name, it will fill up any closed shape with the Element you select. Here, give it a try!




 * Use Fill: Try the Fill Tool and experiment all you want!

Day 16: Battery

Time for another Chemistry lesson -- let's make a Battery!




 * Make Battery: Power up the Lamp and the Heater! You must fix the old battery to the left.

Day 17: Waterfall

I just love learning new stuff -- how 'bout you? Next, let's create a Waterfall, and I'll also teach you about that black Element!




 * Make Waterfall: Make the Waterfall with Multi!

Day 18: Find the cure

I have an idea -- let's play a game! Oh, and it's also time to learn about Backgrounds. Get one free from the shop and put it in your Universe!




 * Virus Maze: Get at least one Virus out of the Maze!

Day 19: Dam

The Water Dam is filling up! Let's avoid a disaster by opening the gates. Melt the Wax Element -- if you Heat it up, it will liquify. Watch closely!




 * Water Dam: Flood the village by opening the Dam!

Day 20: Acid issue

Uh-oh -- my destructive urge is back! Hey – let's play with two new things: Gas and Acid Rain! Here's a little tip: Turn ON the Temperature System.




 * Kaboom: Blow up the gas in that room and watch! (The Temperature System must be ON)


 * Make Acid Rain: Water and Acid make Acidic Water. Now, guess how it becomes Acid Rain!

Day 21: Replace

Time to learn about a new Tool: Replace!




 * Use Replace: Use Replace Tool. It exchanges ALL pixels of the type tapped for the one selected.

Day 22: Fill the world

I've just created this super awesome planet, but it needs some filling. Hey, I know! Why don't you apply the finishing touches?




 * The Earth: Use the Fill Tool and paint the Earth with the proper colors!

Day 23: Factory problems

Oh no! These guys built this Factory, but as you can see it's clogged! Quick, find the clog and clear the pipes!




 * Clogged Factory: Find the clog at the Factory and clear it!

Day 24: Factory problems 2

Someone put the wrong elements in the machine. Please fix it!




 * Replace elements: Replace the 3 elements on the left with steam, oil and gas. Then turn the machine on with Power (4).

Day 25: Diode

Time for an Electronics lesson: let's build a Diode. A Diode lets Electricity flow in only one direction!




 * Make Diode: Use Metal and follow the green lines -- then throw one Electro in the loop and watch what happens!

Day 26: Music!

Doh Re Mi Fa So La Ti Da! Or is it Doh? Ah, music. I just love music! Here, I composed a little something. Why don't you power it up?

Day 27: Merry Christmas!

Christmas! My favorite time of year! But darn it -- the Lights on the Tree won't turn ON correctly. Please help!




 * Christmas: Make sure the Christmas tree Lights alternate properly! 1) Fix the circuit 2) Turn it on.

Day 28: Compose

I feel like listening to music again. Why don't you try and finish this song with the last 3 Notes?




 * Compose: Let's compose! Put Notes on the 3 green places and change the tune.

Day 29: Plant

I'm so creative! Look at these beautiful trees! But something is wrong -- there should be 6 trees here.




 * Find Tree: Look closely at those trees and decide which kind of tree you should plant on the hill.

Day 30: Fortune Teller

Let me introduce you a friend of mine. Eleanor will tell you the future, just ask her and watch!
