Nook - Nice Little Games

Nook is a Sokoban-style puzzle on Nice Little Games, a small daily puzzle site made by Big Hit Maker. The first daily went out on 29 October 2026. Every day at midnight Vancouver time the site posts three new boards, labelled Mini, Classic and Tricky, and everyone gets the same three.

On most boards the goal is to fill every diamond spot with a tile. You move Alder, a beaver in a green apron, one square at a time, and walking into a tile pushes it one square ahead. Tiles cannot be pulled, so a tile shoved into a corner usually stays stuck there. Spare tiles are common, and they can stay off the spots. Some boards change the goal and ask you to make a route for Alder to reach the round nook instead.

The terrain is what keeps the boards from feeling alike. Ice sends Alder and tiles sliding until they hit dry ground or an obstacle. A hole swallows a tile for good, and Alder falling in simply undoes the move. Water takes a tile and turns it into a bridge. Fragile ground breaks after Alder walks off it, embers burn after a fourth hot step, stepping stones carry Alder but not tiles, and keys open gates of the same shape. A panel under the board lists only the terrain used that day, and the how-to page has a short animated demo of each one.

The pace is relaxed. There is no timer, Undo and Redo go back as far as you like, and holding R starts the board again. Arrow keys, WASD, on-screen arrows or swipes all work, so the game plays as well on a phone as on a computer. Solving any one board counts as a streak day. A count of how many players have solved each board sits above it. You can play as a guest, or sign in to keep your streak and history across devices. The site also caches today's and tomorrow's boards so you can play offline.

Nook suits players who like box-pushing puzzles but want something shorter than a full warehouse level, with the Tricky board there for anyone who wants a longer think.
