A Monster's Expedition in IOS

(Through Puzzling Exhibitions)

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

94/100

A Monster's Expedition is an absolute gem of the 'Sokoban' genre. It is a peaceful, open-world puzzle game where you play as a curious monster exploring an island chain dedicated to 'humanity.' The core mechanic involves pushing over trees to create bridges between islands. What starts as a simple task of pushing logs soon evolves into a complex set of rules involving log length, orientation, and interaction with the environment.

The game is incredibly respectful of the player's time. There are no timers, no scores, and an 'undo' button that works instantly. This allows you to experiment freely without frustration. The writing is also top-tier; the museum exhibits you find along the way offer hilarious, monster-centric interpretations of mundane human objects (like a toaster or a coffee mug). It’s an atmospheric, intelligent, and deeply charming experience that stands as one of the best puzzle games available on mobile.
