Car Park Jam

Slide the cars out of the way to free the red car. Every puzzle has a known minimum number of moves, so aim for par. A new jam every day plus 30 levels.

How to play

  1. Cars sit on a 6 by 6 car park. Horizontal cars slide left and right, vertical cars slide up and down, and none can turn or jump over another.
  2. Select a car, then use the arrow buttons or keyboard arrows, or tap a free square in its lane, to slide it. The red car must reach the gold exit on the right of row 3.
  3. Sliding a car any distance counts as one move, and nudging the same car the same way again still counts once.
  4. Every puzzle has a par, the fewest moves possible. Beat or match it for a perfect result.

Tips and strategy

  • Work backwards from the exit: find which cars block the red car's lane and what blocks them.
  • Long vertical cars are the hardest to move, so free their lanes early.
  • Use Undo freely. It rewinds your last slide and the move count with it.
  • Hint solves from the position you are in now, so it is still useful after a wrong turn.

Each puzzle was searched completely offline, so par is the true minimum number of moves and not an estimate.

Do the puzzles repeat?
