Sokoban: rules and examples
Make Sokoban your next activity in the game library. Push every crate onto a target. Use the example below to understand a decision. 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.
Give this approach a try
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Notice the feedback after each input.
The goal to keep in mind
Push every crate onto a target. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.
How a round unfolds
- Move through empty floor.
- Push one crate into empty space.
- Never pull or push two at once.
- Undo a deadlock and continue.
How to use the controls
Arrow keys or direction buttons. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Look at the feedback after the action.
Follow the example
A crate in a non-target corner cannot be recovered by pulling. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Choose a deliberate next step.
An important reminder
Consider the player’s access behind crates. Check the rule before repeating the action. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
