A mysterious box with the inscription "Open only if you are ready for change" has appeared in your city. What will you do? I'll open it right away; curiosity is stronger than fear.
First, I will examine it from all sides and look for hidden inscriptions or symbols.
I will wait until someone else opens it, and then I will join.
I won't open it, but I will explore how it works and what can activate it.
