Which 1999 Microsoft adventure game is titled Pandora’s Box?

Pandora’s Box is the title of a 1999 Microsoft adventure game.

The game is a puzzle-oriented adventure designed by Alexey Pajitnov, the Russian computer programmer best known as the creator of Tetris. Players travel through different regions and solve visual puzzles based on traditional games and puzzle forms. The plot frames these challenges through a quest involving the mythic Pandora’s Box, giving the collection a story structure rather than presenting it as a simple standalone puzzle pack.

Microsoft published the game for Windows in 1999. Its puzzles include variations inspired by jigsaw arrangements, mazes, tile matching, wordplay, and other forms. The variety reflects Pajitnov’s interest in accessible but increasingly challenging puzzle design.

This title is easy to confuse with Pandora’s Box, the 1929 film, the 1951 fantasy film, the Aerosmith compilation, and the phrase from Greek mythology. The year and Microsoft connection identify the computer game. It also should not be confused with later games using Pandora as a character or setting without sharing this title.
