How to play Sokoban

Quick answer: Sokoban is a box-pushing puzzle where every box must be moved onto a target square.

Play Sokoban

Sokoban rules

Move the worker around the grid and push boxes one tile at a time. Boxes can only be pushed, never pulled. A level is solved when every box stands on a target.

Controls

Move with arrow keys, WASD, on-screen buttons or mobile swipes. Use undo to recover from a bad push and restart when a level becomes blocked.

Scoring and ranking

Sokoban rankings reward level progress first, then efficiency such as fewer moves, fewer pushes and faster completion.

Strategy tips

• Do not push boxes into corners unless the corner is a target.
• Plan worker access before pushing a box across a narrow corridor.
• Use undo to learn a level without restarting every attempt.
