— The basics

What is Box Push?

Box Push is a classic Sokoban-style puzzle game. You play a small character who must push boxes onto marked floor tiles to clear each level. The catch — boxes can only be pushed, never pulled. One wrong push and a box is stuck in a corner forever.

Box Push is the kind of puzzle game that quietly teaches planning. Every move has consequences. Reading the level, planning the order of pushes, recognising when a push will trap a box — those are real spatial-reasoning skills, and they sharpen with every solved level. Sokoban-style puzzles have been used in computer science classes for exactly this reason.
