The explorers are looking to the left on the cover where there is a river and a waterfall over brown/light brown rocks in the river. The river's water is dark blue upstream, turning to white and light blue in the waterfall.

On the other side of the river (on the left side of the box cover) is a narrow shore (orange) with palm trees and other plants.

A series of connected white buildings appears at center rear, with light orange mountains behind them. One of the buildings has a cross on the front and a minaret overhead.

Between the white buildings and the river is a pale green area and then a deep blue area.

The beginning of the game title, "EXPLORING" (red with black outine, with a large "E" and incrementally smaller subsequent letters and then a somewhat larger "G" at end) appears across the top of the cover from upper left to right of center.

Below the center of the box cover, left of center, |"GLEVUM" SERIES| (red) appears over the waterfall and side of the mountain.

Below that, the remainder of the title appears: "OR" above "The Search for the Lost City." (light blue, black outline, in a fancy serifed font).

The game starts at bottom center, marked "START HERE" (black) on a yellow rectangle. The path can proceed either to the left or right along a track of green rectangles or polygons, some rounded. Four concentric oval tracks constitute the race course, with one pathway connection from an outer track to the adjacent inner track. Periodically along each green track an illustration appears along with a messages/instructions, such as an illustration of a white explorer with 7 black natives behind him carrying goods on their heads, which has the message "EASY GOING" above "GO FORWARD 5".

The innermost green traack has a position marked "ENTRANCE TO CITY" (black), which is the connection point to the lost city, which is illustrated in an oval inside that track, depicting a wall around the city and a variety of white buildings including domes and minarets.
