How to play Sokoban

The QTHCC guide to Sokoban starts with a short learning break. Your task is to push every crate onto a target. The controls and example below describe this exact implementation.

A short learning break

Choose one objective for this visit: understand the controls, complete a round, or recognise a common mistake. Progress does not need to be rushed.

Your goal

Push every crate onto a target.

Step by step

1. Move through empty floor.
2. Push one crate into empty space.
3. Never pull or push two at once.
4. Undo a deadlock and continue.

Controls

Arrow keys or direction buttons.

A useful example

A crate in a non-target corner cannot be recovered by pulling.

Watch out for this

Consider the player’s access behind crates.
