Battle Box is a round-based team game, which involves capturing a central objective of 9 concrete blocks before the other team. Each game consists of four teams of four facing off in three 1-minute rounds. The team with the most score at the end of the game wins.
In order to win a round, teams must either completely fill the capture point with their coloured concrete blocks, or have more blocks placed than the other team. Killing the opposing players is not required to win the round, but awards some score. If neither team places any blocks or the same amount of blocks are placed by each team at the end of the round, the round is declared a draw.
The capture point is locked for the first ten seconds of each round, meaning the concrete blocks can not be broken.
At the start of the game, players can choose one of five different kit types relating to a specific play style. Each kit provides players with items relating to that specific play style and changes depending on the map being played. Depending on the kit and the map that's being played, they can provide the player with weapons, potions, arrows, sparks or orbs. Players can also pick up items within the maps to offer even more versatility in combat.
Score is awarded as so:
- 45 for personal eliminations.
- 480 (120 for each team member) to the team that captures the objective, or has the most blocks in the objective.
Combat Items[edit]
Orbs are similar to potions in that they apply effects when they're thrown, but they're unique in that they can be thrown much further and have a much larger radius. They also can have timed delays before applying their effect.

At the start of the game, players can choose one of five different kits. Each kit provides players with unique items, such as crossbows, potions and cobwebs, relating to that specific play style and changes depending on the map being played. Kits cannot be changed after the game starts, but the player's items refill after each round.
There are 7 kit types in Battle Box, each with different strengths and weaknesses. The main difference between each kit is its weapons. All kits contain infinite concrete blocks, Leather Boots, and an Efficiency II Iron Pickaxe.
