Just referencing warehouse might also work, when we have the original in cl=

context, Though losing the reference to "person doing shuffle work" might m=
ake=20
it to unspecific. Could also be a bookkeeping game then, or a hide & search=

game?

In German language "Soko" sadly with many people might first trigger anothe=

reference ,"Sonderkommission" (task force of the criminal investigation=20
department at the police) thanks to TV series. So personally first have to=
=20
overcome that :P but that should not be a blocker by itself.

But an idea to keep for reserve, I think.

Might be an idea, though not catching up with me like e.g. "ball" would be =
for=20
a tennis game. As the object here is not really the main challenge in the g=
ame=20
or the main activity or object of interest, at least to how I perceive thin=
gs=20
when playing. Even more as KSokoban does have a gem in place of the crates,=
 as=20
part of its classic graohics, so would be a bit contra-imaginary.

Thanks for the proposals :)
