Stock Room is a free daily packing puzzle. A delivery has arrived, and every box has to fit on the stock room floor. Drag the boxes into place so that every square is covered and nothing sticks out. Monday is a small room. Friday is a big one with pillars in the way.
No sign-up and nothing to install. It runs in your browser on a computer or a phone, and your progress is saved on your device.
- Every box is used. The boxes cover the floor exactly, with no square left over.
- Boxes snap to the squares. Drag one near its place and let go.
- Turning starts on Wednesday. On Monday and Tuesday the boxes already lie the right way.
- Stuck? The lightbulb places one box for you. Hints and undo are free.
How to play Stock Room
- Drag a box from the tray onto the floor. A green shadow shows where it will land.
- From Wednesday, turn a box by tapping it once to select it and once more to turn it.
- Tap a box on the floor to take it back, or drag it to a new place.
- Cover every square. Boxes cannot overlap, stick out or sit on a pillar.
Ways to move a box
| Action | What it does | When |
|---|---|---|
| Drag | Moves a box onto the floor, or from one place to another. | Every day |
| Tap a box, then tap a square | Puts the selected box on that square. Useful on a small screen. | Every day |
| Tap a selected box | Turns it a quarter turn. | From Wednesday |
| Tap a box on the floor | Takes it back to the tray. | Every day |
| Pillar | A dark square. Nothing can go there. | From Tuesday |
Tips for packing faster
- Start in the corners. A corner has only a few boxes that can fill it.
- Place the awkward boxes first. Long and bent boxes fit in few places. Small ones fit almost anywhere.
- Watch for gaps of one or two squares. No box is that small, so a gap like that means something is wrong.
- Count the squares around a pillar. The space next to a pillar often fits just one box.
- Take boxes back freely. A wrong start is easier to fix early than late.
How the week gets harder
| Day | Floor | Boxes | What is new |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monday | 4 × 4 | 4 | No turning. |
| Tuesday | 5 × 5 | 6 or 7 | A bigger room. Sometimes one pillar. |
| Wednesday | 5 × 5 | 6 | Boxes can be turned. |
| Thursday | 6 × 6 | 8 | More boxes, up to two pillars. |
| Friday | 6 × 7 | 9 | The biggest room, up to three pillars. |
Saturday plays like a Wednesday and Sunday like a Tuesday.
