Sokoban

Spatial

Push every box onto a target. No pulling allowed.

Sokoban is a transport puzzle: the player controls a warehouse keeper who must push boxes onto designated storage locations. Boxes can only be pushed, never pulled, and the keeper can only push one box at a time. Created by Hiroyuki Imabayashi in 1981, it remains one of the most analytically deep puzzle types ever designed.

Modern variants

Reimagined

Reverse Sokoban

Start with boxes on targets, pull them off. A reverse-engineering exercise that trains exactly the deduction Classic Sokoban skips.
