Knowing that getting alone time to watch a favorite show can be a challenge for those who live in shared spaces, HBO created the HBO Box. The portable, black-colored box boasts strategically placed "dual leg chambers" and boasts "the latest in cardboard technology." To make viewing shows on a device as comfortable as can be, the box even includes a built-in shelf and holes for ventilation.
As part of a promotion targeting college students, HBO is giving people the chance to get a limited-edition HBO Box of their own through a giveaway—to quality, entrants must meet a few requirements, including having a ".edu" email address. As part of the unconventional promotion, HBO is also giving away other fun prizes like Apple AirPods, HBO-branded shirts and sticker sheets.
