Explore over 1,00,000 books, fill a box with as many titles as you can, and experience author sessions, curated genres, and a unique community-driven book exchange till March 15 at Phoenix Palladium.
It brings the joy of storytelling and reading to the forefront with `Lock The Box`, a large-scale experiential book fair designed to bring together readers, families and literary enthusiasts.
Having started on March 6, the event is currently running at The Courtyard and will continue till today, transforming the space into a lively literary destination.
From contemporary fiction and thrillers to classics, children’s literature and coffee table books, visitors can explore an expansive collection that encourages discovery and leisurely browsing.
At the heart of the event is the much-loved “Lock The Box” challenge, where readers purchase a box and fill it with as many books as possible — as long as the lid closes flat — turning book shopping into a playful treasure hunt.
The boxes are divided into three main categories: Odysseus Box (Rs 1,199) – approximately 8–10 books; Perseus Box (Rs 1,999) – approximately 15–17 books; Hercules Box (Rs 2,999) – approximately 25–28 books. Visitors can also bring along their pre-loved books to sell at the event, creating a lively community exchange that encourages reading, sharing and rediscovering stories.
Whether you’re an avid reader, a casual book browser, or introducing young readers to the magic of books, Lock The Box at Phoenix Palladium promises a meaningful literary celebration of stories, voices and community.
