As the ''BOXBOY!'' series is first and foremost a puzzle game, the series does not actively explore non-puzzle elements of gameplay. However, to keep the series interesting, there ''is'' a minimal storyline present throughout all mainline games, which can create lore implications. The story and lore are almost entirely open for interpretation as their presence is minimal, but there are some commonly-agreed upon theories surrounding them.

			To preserve journalistic integrity on the BOXBOY WIKI!, most story-related content is presented at face value due to no official explanations or sources being given - for example, despite it being commonly agreed upon that [[Box Baby]] eventually grows up to become [[Qucy (Trilogy)\|Qucy]], this is never officially stated anywhere in-game and is therefore not documented on the Wiki. This article exists to catalogue the most popular theories ''BOXBOY!'' fans have come up with and typically agree upon in regard to the game's lore, however realistic or canonical those theories may be, so that said speculation is not present on the more fact-based parts of the Wiki.

The canonical placement of ''BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL!'' in the ''BOXBOY!'' series is a topic of discussion among the ''BOXBOY!'' community. It is not considered an entry in the [[BOXBOY! trilogy]], so it may take place before or after the events of the trilogy. An official trailer for the game released by [[Nintendo]], titled "BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL! - The Story So Far - Nintendo Switch", describes ''BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL!'' as "the next chapter in BOXBOY!"<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rY4FgF6qBw</ref>, which is presumably referring to the trilogy - this appears to be the only true explanation from an official source as to where the game takes place.

			*In A Tall Tale's ending, [[Qudy]] is rescued by two boxes resembling Qbby and Qucy, who are in the [[Box Ship]]. Despite their resemblance, these boxes cannot Qbby and/or Qucy, as they were on the black smoke meteor during that time. These boxes also cannot be [[Box Mom]] and/or [[Box Dad]], as they sacrificed themselves to send [[Box Baby]] onto the Box Ship. The only two boxes that were remaining on the Box Ship after Qudy left it were Box Baby and an unnamed Qbaby. By process of elimination, it can be inferred that the two boxes who saved Qudy at the end of the campaign were the now-matured Box Baby and unnamed Qbaby. After Qudy is rescued, the Box Ship speeds towards the [[Box Planet]]. In {{BB}}, the Box Ship is present at the same location.

As the BOXBOY! series is a puzzle game, the majority of the game's focus is on solving puzzles. However, there is a minimal storyline present throughout all four games, which can be tied together to make a story. As the story is not the main focus of the games, several aspects of the story are left up to players' interpretation - however, there are some commonly agreed-upon theories regarding the lore of the ''BOXBOY!'' series.
