Notes[edit]

  • The Gem Store description is as follows: "Spawn a box full of random fun for everyone in the area. Every 15 seconds, the box generates a new amusing option. Color-changing, shape-shifting, and other tricks can be yours! Each box remains in the world for 15 minutes."
  • Despite the Gem Store description, if the owner of the box uses Adjust Box of Fun to assign the box mode, it will remain in that mode for 2 minutes. The box will only maintain the potential for 15 second cycles if it has not been assigned using Adjust Box of Fun or has since closed after being assigned for 2 or more minutes.
