About the game

Kallax is a chaotic furniture-building 2 to 6 players co-op game in which only one player can read the instruction manual at a time. Experience what should have been a one person's job and lose friendships forever.

More about KallaX

4 of the 276 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 70 percent of the 119 reviews written there were positive, against 84 percent overall, and those are 43 percent of everything written about it.

The drop-off

69% start to <1% rarest
050100rarestfirst achievement

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

Please consider implementing a way to change or disable the time limit. With just two players the base time limit makes the game feel very difficult. The game is very fun, but very frustrating without a full group of 4.
