A little about the game

Meet Sokoban

Push every crate onto a dock in endless warehouses. Start with eight handcrafted rooms, then take on fresh puzzles that grow bigger and trickier. Clear chapters of five and pick up where you left off.

How to play Sokoban

Swipe to move, tap a floor tile to walk there, or use the arrow keys/WASD. Push one crate at a time; you can’t pull. Cover every dock to clear the warehouse; matching par (fewest pushes) scores more. Warehouses keep coming; every five make a chapter. End the run from pause to see your results — your progress is saved after every warehouse. Undo (U) and Restart (R) let you rethink a blocked route.

A tip for your next run

A crate in the wrong corner cannot be rescued. Plan its final push before moving it.

How do you play Sokoban?

Sokoban is a box-pushing puzzle: walk around a warehouse and push every crate onto a dock. You push one crate at a time and can never pull, so a crate stuck in a corner is lost. In this Sokoban, Undo and Restart let you rethink a route, and matching par (the fewest pushes) scores more.

How many levels does Sokoban have?

Sokoban starts with eight handcrafted warehouses, then keeps making fresh puzzles that grow bigger and trickier, so the levels do not run out. Every five warehouses make a chapter, and your progress is saved after each one.
