Follow the steps for Sokoban
Make Sokoban your next activity in the game library. Push every crate onto a target. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. 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.
A focus for your next round
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The objective of a round
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 order of play
- Move through empty floor.
- Push one crate into empty space.
- Never pull or push two at once.
- Undo a deadlock and continue.
How to interact with the game
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.
Work through an 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. Look for the relevant detail.
A common point of confusion
Consider the player’s access behind crates. Compare the situation with the worked example. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
