Box Art Challenge was presumably a series of simple HTML games that revolved around the player guessing the title of ten video games based on a scrambled image of the box art for each game, available on Nintendo's Nsider subdomain. The only surviving version of this game was released on May 4, 1999, though the description for the game provides the game's release date and the phrase "The Toughest Yet," in addition to stating that "We've read your e-mails claiming that our challenges are too easy, so we've decided to make this particular batch of box art our toughest yet," making it seem that there were additional versions either before or after the May 4 edition.

Gameplay

The scrambled Super Smash Bros. box art

Once the player enters the webpage, they are provided with JPG images of the box art for ten different Nintendo 64 games. Once the player has written down their guesses, either with a pen and paper or in a different program, the player can click a link that provides the answers for the challenge provided at the bottom of the page.
