Cozy Puzzle
Parcel Post
Pack the van. Save the day. Parcel Post is a cozy postal puzzle about fitting parcels, protecting delicate deliveries, and dispatching routes at the right moment.
What you do
Parcel Post is a cozy packing puzzle where every odd-shaped parcel changes the shape of your delivery day. Rotate boxes into the van, complete tidy rows and columns to send routes across town, and be gentle with the fragile, chilly, and express parcels that really do have opinions.
- Drag-and-drop parcel placement on a tablet-friendly 8x8 van grid.
- Full rows and columns become delivery routes across town.
- Parcel personalities: standard, letter, fragile, express, cold, and heavy.
- Fragile parcels score more when kept away from heavy boxes.
- Express and cold parcels get fussy if they wait too long.
- Local high score and share button for replayable delivery shifts.
How to play
- Drag the current parcel piece into the van grid.
- Rotate the piece to fit awkward spaces before placing it.
- Fill a full row or column to dispatch that route and score the parcels.
- Keep fragile parcels away from heavy boxes to protect their value.
- Deliver express and cold parcels before their timers expire.
- The shift ends when the current parcel cannot fit anywhere in the van.
Controls
- Mouse or touch: drag the current parcel piece onto the van grid.
- Mouse or touch: use the rotate button or tap the current piece to rotate.
- Keyboard: R rotates the current parcel piece.
- Keyboard: Space places the parcel if the highlighted position is valid.
- Keyboard: Esc pauses, and the toolbar restart button starts a fresh shift.
Tips worth knowing
- Do not bury fragile parcels next to heavy crates.
- Watch express parcels. Late ones still deliver, but nobody is impressed.
- Cold parcels are valuable when dispatched quickly.
- Try to complete a row and a column on the same move for a route bonus.
- Leave open pockets for L-shapes and 2x2 parcel stacks as the van fills.

Questions
Is Parcel Post a Tetris game?
No. Parcel Post is a grid-packing puzzle, not a falling-block game. Pieces do not fall over time; you choose where to place each parcel stack.
What makes parcel types different?
Each parcel has a personality. Fragile boxes hate heavy neighbors, express boxes want speed, and cold parcels prefer not to loiter.
Does Parcel Post need an account?
No. The game runs in the browser and saves only a local high score on your device.
