About Parking Jam

Parking Jam is a sliding puzzle on a packed 6x6 parking lot: shuffle the cars around until the red car can drive out through the exit on the right. The rules are simple, but working out which cars to move, and in what order, is the fun part. The 150 levels range from very easy to quite tricky, rising and dipping in difficulty, and every level has a known minimum number of moves.

How to play

1. Drag a car with your finger or mouse. Horizontal cars only move left and right, vertical cars only up and down, and no car can jump over another.
2. Slide the red car all the way out through the exit on the right (the third row, marked with ▶) to clear the level.
3. However many cells you slide a car in one drag counts as a single move. The top bar shows your moves so far and the minimum possible for this level.
4. Stars depend on your move count: the minimum earns 3 stars, up to 1.5x the minimum earns 2, and anything more earns 1. Using a hint caps you at 2 stars.
5. You can undo and restart (an undo also counts as a move). The hint button shows the next move toward a solution with a dashed outline. Clearing a level unlocks the next, and your stars are saved on this device.

Tips

• First see which car is blocking the red car, then work backward to find which cars must move to free that one.
• Three-cell trucks have few places to go, so clear a path for them early.
• If you feel stuck, restarting is often faster. Compare your moves to the minimum to see how much you are detouring.
• Slide the red car as far forward as it will go first; it makes it clearer which cars have to get out of the way.
