How to play Sokoban
Choose a round of Sokoban and settle into its rules. Push every crate onto a target. Use the example below to understand a decision. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. 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.
A useful comparison
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
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.
Step by step
- Move through empty floor.
- Push one crate into empty space.
- Never pull or push two at once.
- Undo a deadlock and continue.
Controls
Arrow keys or direction buttons. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful example
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. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Watch out for this
Consider the player’s access behind crates. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
