Your guide to Sokoban

Sokoban gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Push every crate onto a target. Look at what changes after your first action. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

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.

Give this approach a try

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Refer to the controls when needed.

Understand the aim

Push every crate onto a target. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Notice how the game responds to your input.

The playing sequence

  1. Move through empty floor.
  2. Push one crate into empty space.
  3. Never pull or push two at once.
  4. Undo a deadlock and continue.

Choosing and moving on screen

Arrow keys or direction buttons. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

A closer look at one example

A crate in a non-target corner cannot be recovered by pulling. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.

Where a round can go wrong

Consider the player’s access behind crates. Compare the situation with the worked example. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
