Parking Plot is a sliding-tile puzzle game that features motor vehicles and parking lots instead of traditional tiles. The game tasks the player with rearranging vehicles blocking a red car in a parking lot so that the car can reach the exit street.
The player can't leave a level until they direct the car to the parking lot exit that features an arm-style barrier with a stop sign. The game offers the player different outcomes. They can wait for the barrier to lift and the car to speed off. Additionally, the game sometimes makes the car crash through the barrier or tosses the car over it using a spring platform.
A lot of different vehicles usually block the player's car, including a delivery truck, an ice cream truck, a military truck, a pickup truck, a police cruiser and a sports car. Each parking lot features a grid of blacktop square spaces. With each new level, the number of empty squares decreases. As a result, the player must rearrange most vehicles more than once.
Parking Plot requires the player to carefully plot, or plan, every step. The game tracks the number of moves along the top of the screen. When the player performs with as few moves as possible, it rewards them with three golden stars.
The game also gives the player a hint tool at the top-left corner. When they select it, they receive a parking receipt that displays a solution with the best strategy.
