How do you play Box Pusher?

Walk the worker around the warehouse and push every wooden crate onto a pink target mark to clear the level. It is a single player puzzle with the same rules as Sokoban (Japanese for "warehouse keeper"), which first came out in Japan in the early 1980s.

There are 63 levels, starting with a single crate warm up and building to rooms with four crates in each other's way. Every level was made by ormgames and checked with a computer solver, so all of them can be beaten.

What are the rules?

RuleDetails
WalkingThe worker steps up, down, left or right, one tile at a time. No diagonals.
PushingWalk into a crate to push it one tile. It will not move if a wall or another crate is behind it.
No pullingYou can never pull a crate, and you can only push one at a time.
WinningThe level is cleared when every crate sits on a mark. Crates on a mark get a green check.
ScoringMoves counts every step and pushes counts every crate push. Your fewest moves for each level is kept.

What if a crate gets stuck?

Press Undo to step back one move at a time, as far as you want. Restart puts the whole level back the way it began. Undo is unlimited and costs nothing.

A crate pushed into a corner, where two walls meet, can never be moved again unless that corner is a target. A crate against a wall can only slide along that wall.

Tips for solving levels

  1. Stay out of corners. A cornered crate is stuck for good.
  2. Plan the last crate first. Fill the deepest targets early so later crates still have a way in.
  3. Do not line two crates up against a wall. Side by side, they often lock each other in place.
  4. Let taps do the walking. Tap a tile and the worker takes the shortest path there without touching a crate.
  5. Check the fewest pushes on the win screen. Match it and you get a star. Nobody can do it in fewer.

Levels unlock up to three ahead of the furthest one you have solved. Solved levels and your best scores are saved in this browser.

Frequently asked questions

Is Box Pusher free?

Yes. Play it free right on this page with no download or sign up, on computers, phones and tablets.

Is this the same as Sokoban?

It follows the classic Sokoban rules: push crates onto the marked spots. The levels, art and sounds are all made by ormgames, and no levels were copied from existing collections.

Can every level be solved?

Yes. Every level was solved by a computer solver before it was added. The fewest pushes number shown when you win is the lowest count that solver found.

I pushed a crate the wrong way. Can I take it back?

Press Undo (Z) to step back one move at a time, as many times as you like. Restart (R) puts the level back to the start.

Can I pull a crate?

No. Crates can only be pushed, and only one at a time. That is why a crate stuck in a corner can never come out.

How do I play on a phone?

Swipe on the board to take one step that way, or hold the arrow buttons under the board to keep walking. Tap any tile and the worker walks there on its own.

Where is my progress saved?
