Play Sokoban with the rules at hand
Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Sokoban. Push every crate onto a target. Use the example below to understand a decision. 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.
A focus for your next round
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Keep the objective visible.
What you need to achieve
Push every crate onto a target. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. 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.
The controls to know
Arrow keys or direction buttons. Use the control method described here for this activity. Check any mode label before starting.
A useful example
A crate in a non-target corner cannot be recovered by pulling. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.
A mistake to avoid
Consider the player’s access behind crates. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
