Domino Sudoku puzzles challenge players with a grid marked by X's, V's, white dots, and black dots between cells. An X requires the adjacent digits to add up to 10, a V to 5, a white dot for consecutive numbers, and a black dot for a 1:2 ratio where one digit doubles the other. Solve these logic tests in a strategy casual game that rewards deduction and precision.
Players earn stars by completing puzzles, unlocking more as they progress from easy to extreme difficulties. The collection starts with 40 main puzzles plus 10 beginner ones, all handcrafted by top creators with custom educational hints. Casual indie fans and dedicated Sudoku solvers find calibrated variety here for every skill level.
Domino Sudoku is named after its domino-like appearance with X's, V's, white dots and black dots placed between cells on the grid. Each puzzle features one or more of these domino types with them all having a different effect: an X means digits in the two cells in the domino must sum to 10; a V means they sum to 5; a white dot means the digits are consecutive; and, finally, a black dot means the digits must be in a 1:2 ratio (ie one of the digits must be double the other).
As you can imagine, when you allow the world’s best Sudoku makers to use these rules they are in their element and they’ve made another set of masterpieces for this collection with a huge amount of variety! We’re thrilled that Domino Sudoku includes puzzles by Christoph Seeliger, Sam Cappleman-Lynes, Richard Stolk, Prasanna Seshadri, Phistomefel, Qodec, Clover and jovi_al.
