Sokoban Box Pushing Puzzle: how to play, rules & tips
Play the Sokoban Box Pushing Puzzle free online: walk around a small warehouse and push every crate onto a gold pad. There are ten levels, a free hint and a free reset.
How to play the Sokoban Box Pushing Puzzle
You control a worker in a walled warehouse. Move with the arrow keys or WASD, the on-screen arrow pad, or by tapping a square next to the worker.
Walk into a crate to push it one square, as long as the square behind it is empty floor. You can only push, never pull, and you cannot push two crates at once.
The level is cleared when every crate sits on a gold pad. A counter shows how many pushes you have made.
Levels, hints and dead ends
| Difficulty | Levels | Board and crates |
|---|---|---|
| Easy | 4 | 5×5, 2 crates |
| Medium | 3 | Up to 7×5, 3 crates |
| Hard | 3 | 7×7, 3 crates |
Pick any of the ten levels from the numbered buttons. Each one was checked by a solver, so every level can be finished.
Hint uses that same solver to make the next correct move for you from wherever you are now. If you push a crate into a corner that is not a pad, it can never move again, and the game warns you. Press Reset, which is free, to start the level over. There is no Undo button and no timer.
Sokoban tips
- Never push a crate into a corner unless that corner is a pad. A cornered crate is stuck for good.
- Be careful pushing a crate flat against a wall. It can then only slide along that wall, so make sure a pad lies in that line.
- Before each push, check that you can walk around to the other side of the crate later if you need to push it back.
- Plan the order. Fill the pads that are hardest to reach first, and leave the easy ones for last.
- Stuck on a hard level? Use Hint for one move, then try to work out why it was the right one.
