How to play Crate Route

A 24-level warehouse campaign: push crates onto the marked spots, from single-crate warm-ups to 4-crate expert levels. Every layout has been verified as solvable, along with its shortest solution; finish with the fewest steps for 3 stars. Stuck? Undo or restart. Every day, the same Daily warehouse opens for everyone.

In Crate Route, you push the crates in each warehouse onto the spots marked ×. Across 24 levels, the number of crates rises from 1 to 4: levels 1–3 have 1 crate, levels 4–8 have 2, levels 9–16 have 3 and the last 8 levels have 4.

Step by step

  1. Swipe or press an arrow key to move the worker; every move is 1 step. Tap an empty square far away and the worker walks there by itself.
  2. Walk into a crate to push it one square. Crates can’t be pulled; if there’s a wall or another crate in front of one, it won’t budge.
  3. When every crate sits on a mark, the warehouse is complete; the closer your step count is to the shortest solution, the more stars you earn.
  4. Your single hint shows the direction of the next step; if you use it, you can earn at most 2 stars. Undo (Space on a keyboard) and Restart carry no penalty.

Tips

  • A crate pushed into an unmarked corner can never be freed and turns red; when you see that, undo right away.
  • With several crates, think first about the crate blocking the path; putting the wrong crate in place too early can close off the way for the others.
