Sokoban — planning & logic

💡Benefits

Sokoban is a classic logic puzzle: the child must plan each step ahead, because a box can only be pushed and a wrong move can lead to a dead end. It trains planning ahead, spatial reasoning, sequencing and learning from mistakes (Diamond, 2013).

🎮How to play

Move the kid (🧒) with arrows, keyboard or swipe. Stepping into a box (📦) pushes it one cell forward — only if the space behind is empty. You can push only one box at a time, never into a wall or another box, and you can never pull a box back. The level is solved when every box sits on a yellow target. The goal is to solve it in as few moves as possible.
