How to play Pagkos
The rules fit in one sentence, but the puzzles can get delightfully tricky.
How to play in three steps
Tap to lift
Tap any crate and its top item rises. Matching items lift together.
Tap to drop
Drop it on the same kind of item, or into an empty crate. Each crate holds four.
Make every crate tidy
When each crate is empty or holds one kind of item, the level is solved.
The rules
- Tap a crate to lift its top item. If the next items below are the same, they lift together.
- Tap another crate to drop the item. It can land on the same kind of item, or in an empty crate.
- Every crate holds four items.
- The level is solved when every crate is either empty or full of one kind of item.
Tips for tricky levels
- Free up an empty crate early. An empty crate is the most useful tool you have.
- Look at what is buried. The item at the bottom of a crate decides when you can finish it.
- Avoid covering a nearly done crate with a different item.
- Stuck? Use Undo to step back, or Restart to try a different plan. There is no penalty.
- In the Market and Kiosk worlds, check the order board. Serving a customer gives you extra coins.
Other ways to play
Beyond the main levels you will find a daily challenge, short rush rounds against the clock, relaxed zen boards, seasonal events and a collection album.
Frequently asked questions
Is Pagkos free?
Pagkos is free to play. Optional rewarded ads give you extra hints or coins, and are always your choice.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-in. Your progress is saved on your device.
Will I lose my progress?
Progress is stored only on your device. Uninstalling the app or clearing its data starts a fresh game, and it does not move to a new phone by itself.
Which devices does it run on?
Pagkos is made for iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets.
What are coins for?
Coins are virtual and have no cash value. You earn them by solving levels and serving customers, and use them to upgrade your stall.
How do hints and undo work?
Undo takes back your last move. A hint shows a helpful move. Both are available whenever you need them, and rewarded ads can top them up.
Can every level be solved?
Yes. Every level is checked by a solver before it ships, so if you are stuck there is always a way out.
Is there a mobile app?
Pagkos is being made for iOS and Android as well. The web version lets you try it right now.
Who is it for?
Pagkos is made for players aged 13 and up who enjoy calm puzzle games.
