Sokoban: a guide for your next round
Take a moment with Sokoban before moving to another game. Push every crate onto a target. Look at what changes after your first action. 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.
Something to practise
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Keep the objective visible.
The objective of a round
Push every crate onto a target. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Start with a deliberate move.
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 interact with the game
Arrow keys or direction buttons. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Check any mode label before starting.
Try this example
A crate in a non-target corner cannot be recovered by pulling. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.
Notice this detail
Consider the player’s access behind crates. Check the rule before repeating the action. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
