Sokoban: a guide for your next round
Take a moment with Sokoban before moving to another game. Push every crate onto a target. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Look at what changes after your first action.
Push two crates onto their targets in compact 7×7 rooms. The starting layouts can be solved; an unhelpful push may still trap a crate.
Practice with a purpose
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Notice the feedback after each input.
What the game asks you to do
Push every crate onto a target. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
The steps to play
- Move through empty floor.
- Push one crate into empty space.
- Never pull or push two at once.
- Undo a deadlock and continue.
Input guidance
Arrow keys or direction buttons. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
An example before you play
A crate in a non-target corner cannot be recovered by pulling. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Consider the player’s access behind crates. Compare the situation with the worked example. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
