''[[https://www.incredibox.com/ Incredibox]]'' is a musical beatbox game and website developed and published by the French company So Far So Good. The concept is simple and consists of drag-and-dropping sound icons on different characters to do beatbox. The player can find combos to unlock animated bonuses and record mixes to integrate a ranking. An automatic mode is also available to generate an endless composition of randomness.

Part game, part tool, part toy, Incredibox is a music-making app in which the user can create a mix by managing a group of beatboxers with [[GagLips comically oversized lips.]] Once one of the available versions (or styles) has been chosen, the player finds himself in front of an interface made up of seven blank characters and twenty sound icons. These icons are divided into the following categories (five for each of them): beats, effects, melodies and voices. Each icon is a unique a cappella sound loop to drag-and-drop onto the characters from a range of hats, sunglasses, masks, headphones or other items that dress them as they are used and let them sing in rhythm with each other. At this point to fine tune his mix, the player can also swap out new sounds, mute sounds, do a solo on one of them, find combos to unlock animated bonuses and record all those interactions to share it on social media via an URL. Then contributors can listen and vote their favorite tracks all the way to the Top 50 chart of Incredibox. And for those who just want to listen an endless mix, an automatic mode can play the loops of each version at random.

The game was originally released as a flash game for web browser on August 16, 2009. It was first released a iOS mobile app for the iPad on March 27, 2016. The app was then updated on September 19, so that now it runs on both the iPad and the iPhone. The game was then made available for Android users and released on Google Play in December 15, 2017. A desktop version of the game was released on the Mac App Store in November 15, 2018 and on the Microsoft Store in December 5.
