''Loot Box Quest'' is a satirical 2017 IdleGame that's sort of a sequel to ''VideoGame/DLCQuest''. You want to buy the game ''[=MacGuffin=] Quest 2'', which you eventually do buy, but are unable to play as the title character until you find them in a lootbox... if you can even succeed at doing that, all you seem to find is trash items, but that will help out with earning money for other goals.

!!This game provides examples of:
* AntiPoopSocking: At the end, [[spoiler:you're shown a button that says "Go Outside" and clicking it turns off the game.]]
* AutoSave: There's an auto-save option in the settings. Otherwise, you have to save and quit there.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: After playing for 90 minutes, Ben (the developer) will tell you that you've been playing for that amount of time and if you want a refund, you may still be eligible, and if you're having fun, that's great.
* BribingYourWayToVictory: InUniverse, you start putting gameplay-altering buffs in loot boxes, which later become core game elements.
* BumblingSidekick: InUniverse, you play ''[=MacGuffin=] Quest 2'' as Bumblo the bumbling sidekick (the game uses that term) who can't even jump.
* DeconstructionGame: Of LootBoxes and other {{Microtransactions}}. Players buy them, but trying to monetise everything makes the game unfun and causes the industry to collapse.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The game and it's icons are entirely black and white. The only color seen is green for upgrade prices.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: The GameWithinAGame, ''[=MacGuffin=] Quest 2: The Quest for [=MacGuffin=]''.
* HellIsThatNoise: One of the late-game upgrades makes your games emit an unpleasant inaudible sound if people aren't buying loot boxes.
* LootBoxes: The main part of the game. You use lootboxes to get the ability to play as [=MacGuffin=]. After a while, you make your players buy them and more advanced forms of them, including ''lute'' boxes.
* NoFairCheating: The ''[=MacGuffin=] Quest 2'' devs get smart after you have five bot accounts and decide to ban any new ones created.
* PermanentlyMissableContent: It's not possible to earn the achievements for releasing a certain number of games after you become a Publicly Traded Company.
* SoundtrackDissonance: The game plays one same fast-paced and upbeat track. It fits most of the early parts, but not the ending when things become more solemn.
