Sokoban was created in 1980 by Hiroyuki Imabayashi, and was published in 1982 by Thinking Rabbit, a software house based in Takarazuka, Japan.
It spawned a genre of puzzle games, including the best selling Chips Challenge, Stone Age, and many others, in addition to having been cloned and ported to almost all computer and operating systems in existance.

can do so using escape.
