Box Office is an area accessible from the Movie Theater.

Features

Box Office is a linear path, made up of six Sokoban-style puzzles, where Minnatsuki must push the floating clapboards so that they simultaneously cover all of the marked spaces on the ground, which resemble film reels, in order to proceed. The very first puzzle, in the initial room with the "0" in the background, is an exception to this, and only requires that the clapboards be pushed so that they no longer block Minnatsuki's path forward. In all of the puzzles, Minnatsuki may push a single clapboard a distance of one tile at a time in a cardinal direction, given that the space the clapboard would be pushed to is a traversable tile that is not occupied by another clapboard. Additionally, clapboards may not be pushed beyond the pairs of thin stripes that line the floor, which act as additional boundaries for each puzzle. At any time, floating "rewind" icons in each room can be interacted with to reset the positions of all clapboards in the current puzzle and place Minnatsuki back at the entrance of the current room.

On an inaccessible platform near the third puzzle, a Ludovico Minnatuski can be seen sitting in a director's chair. In the room beyond the final puzzle, another Ludovico Minnatsuki, also sitting in a director's chair, can be found. Interacting with this one will unlock the Box Office Menu Theme and unlock a two-way shortcut between the first and final rooms. The shortcut takes the form of a floating "skip to end" icon in the first room, and a floating "jump to beginning" icon in the final room. Additionally, a barricade will be removed from the final room, but the end of the path it would cut off is currently being further blocked by open connection signs.

The final puzzle's solution goes as follows:

Make a "Z" shape with the clapboards. Make sure you are standing on the left side. Push the midde clapboard all the way to the right. Push the top left clapboard all the way to the left target. push the two clapboards at the bottom up, then finish the puzzle by fitting the last clapboard in place.

Spoilers end here.

-The Box Office is a linear path, made up of sokoban puzzles, where you need to push the clapboards into the marked spaces on the ground. If Minnatsuki can solve all 5 of these puzzles, she will find a room with a girl sitting in a director's chair and a playback button that unlocks a shortcut lets you return to the start.
