Getting started with Sokoban
Read the aim of Sokoban, then make your first move. 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.
Take a closer look while playing
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Keep the objective visible.
Your objective
Push every crate onto a target. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Start with a deliberate move.
Work through the instructions
- Move through empty floor.
- Push one crate into empty space.
- Never pull or push two at once.

Input guidance
Arrow keys or direction buttons. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
Follow the example
A crate in a non-target corner cannot be recovered by pulling. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Check the stated objective.
A mistake to avoid
Consider the player’s access behind crates. Compare the situation with the worked example. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
