How to play
Parking Lot Escape is a sliding-block puzzle set in a crowded freight yard. Your job in every bay is to clear a path so the blue pickup can drive out of the green EXIT gate on the right edge of the lot.
The rules
- Vehicles only slide straight. Each car, SUV and box truck moves forward or backward along the direction it is facing. Nothing turns, and nothing can be lifted over another vehicle.
- Drag to move. Press on a vehicle and drag it along its lane. It stops when it reaches another vehicle or the lot edge. On a keyboard, focus a vehicle and use the arrow keys.
- Free the blue pickup. The pickup sits in the exit row. When nothing blocks its way to the right, slide it out through the green gate to clear the bay.
- Every move counts. Sliding one vehicle any distance in one go counts as one move.
Bays, par and stars
There are 15 bays, getting harder as you go. Clearing a bay unlocks the next one on the yard map. Each bay has a par — the fewest moves needed, checked by a solver. Finish at par for 3 stars; using more moves earns fewer stars. You can replay any cleared bay to improve your score.
Coins and the Garage
Clearing a bay for the first time pays 20 coins, plus 10 coins for each new star you earn. A free daily yard bonus adds 12 coins once per calendar day. Spend coins in the Garage on paint, decals, wheels and trim for your pickup. Cosmetics are looks only — they never make puzzles easier. Tapping an item previews it; coins are only spent when you press Buy & Equip.
Tools when you're stuck
- Hint shows the next move on the best route from your current position.
- Undo takes back your last move.
- Reset returns the bay to its starting layout.
