Package Chaos Sorting Checklist

Print this, pin it, or park it on a second monitor. Package Chaos is not complicated. It is repetitive in the way that makes brains skip the label. This checklist is the inspect loop from how to sort without the essay. If you have not grabbed a box yet, read Getting Started first so the boxes mean something.

There is no cheat, no overlay, no datamined SKU scanner. FunTap Games did not ship a barcode gun. You are the gun.

Session start

• Specs are fine — or I already launched. If not, system requirements.
• Binds feel comfortable. If not, controls.
• Volume is set so cardboard clips are audible.
• Steam Cloud is on so a pad experiment cannot eat the night.
• I can name tonight’s goal: a lane, 100 stocked, one shelf, or a fragile pass — not “finish 4,096 because I am immortal.”

Every single box

• I picked it up instead of judging from two meters.
• I saw size.
• I saw color and I did not stop there.
• I confirmed logo.
• I read label even when the logo felt obvious.
• I looked for special handling marks.
• If a mark exists, it outranks the pretty face.
• If any axis failed, this box is not a match. It goes to the reject row, not onto the “close enough” tower.

That block is the game. The package types page explains which families punish a skipped line. Fragile and specials punish hardest.

Lane and reject row

• There is a walking lane I can strafe with a carton in my hands.
• The reject row faces me so postponed marks are still readable.
• The reject row is not in the middle of the lane.
• I am not using fragile goods as architecture while I “deal with them later.”
• I can still reach the back of a founded bay. If not, I am building a wall — see how to stack.

Batch loop (repeat until the goal)

• I picked one identity for this batch, not “all the brown.”
• I only carried true matches. Two trips beat Too Heavy cosplay.
• I placed logos and arrows readable from the lane.
• Heavy and dull on the bottom. Fragile never as a platform.
• I stopped the batch while the aisle still exists.
• I did not found a fourth bay just because a new logo winked at me. The walkthrough wants three honest bays first.

Fragile / specials pass

• Special shipments have a bay or at least two true matches parked together.
• No heavier family is sitting on them.
• This-way-up still points up.
• I walked the fragile bay from both ends.
• Details I keep forgetting live on tips.

Money (only after a named pain)

• I can say the bottleneck in one clause: walking, carry, or camera reach.
• I am not buying a skill to skip inspect.
• I looked at the skills tier list instead of clicking the blink.
• I will stock another batch before a second purchase.
• I remember Skill Check / Skill Veteran are achievements, not a command to dump the wallet. See achievements.

Session end

• One bay is more honest than when I started, even if the building is not done.
• I did not leave a mixed shrine that tomorrow-me will have to unbuild.
• I stretched. 1,000 Stocked is a highlighted achievement because FunTap knows this is a long cozy job.
• If I want the fantasy explained again, the review is still there. If I want patch news, the updates hub is still there.

Use the checklist until it feels insulting, then keep using it. The insult is the feature. Package Chaos is a game about not getting bored of looking. When the look gets sloppy, the warehouse does not scold you. It just lets the next special shipment disappear under electronics, and then you get to play archaeology at box 3,900. Tick the boxes. Then tick the boxes in the game.
