The Sokoban playbook
Make Sokoban your next activity in the game library. Push every crate onto a target. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. 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.
Practice with a purpose
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The objective of a round
Push every crate onto a target. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Follow these playing steps
- Move through empty floor.
- Push one crate into empty space.
- Never pull or push two at once.
- Undo a deadlock and continue.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Arrow keys or direction buttons. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
See how the rules apply
A crate in a non-target corner cannot be recovered by pulling. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Take a moment to compare.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Consider the player’s access behind crates. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
