Snowden Escape

Klotski Puzzle

Snowden Escape is a sliding block puzzle. The theme is based on Edward Snowden, a former NSA contractor who disclosed a large number of top secret NSA documents to several media outlets. The leaked documents revealed operational details of a global surveillance apparatus run by the NSA and other members of the Five Eyes alliance, along with numerous commercial and international partners. He's been fugutive since June 2013.

The puzzle is based on the Huarong Dao (aka Klotski Puzzle). Like other sliding-block puzzles, several different-sized block pieces are placed inside a box, which is generally in 4×5 size. Among the blocks, there is a special one (usually the largest one, Snowden in this game) which must be moved to exit area at the bottom of the box. The player is not allowed to remove blocks, and may only slide blocks horizontally and vertically. Common goals are to solve the puzzle with a minimum number of moves or in a minimum amount of time.
