About WhatBox

WhatBox is a small company that makes BIG fun.

We deliver and facilitate adventure playgrounds for any and all communities, existing anywhere from a day to a week to a month.

As a pop-up experience, WhatBox meets the educational and recreational needs provided by adventure playgrounds but in a contemporary setting that requires utmost flexibility.
