About Sudoku

Sudoku on Join Me Games is a race. The host picks a level, from easy to expert, and every player in the group gets the same puzzle at the same moment. Fill the grid, lock in your time, and see where you land.

Everyone’s progress shows live along the top, so you can watch a friend pull ahead or fall behind. A wrong number counts as a miss. Notes let you pencil in candidates, and hints walk you through a cell when you are stuck.

It works just as well alone. Play solo on any level, and your best time for each level is kept on your device.

How to play

  1. Every row, column and box holds 1 to 9 once. Everyone races the same puzzle.
  2. Tap a cell, then tap a number below. A wrong number counts a miss.
  3. Notes pencil in the numbers a cell could still be. Hints walk you through a cell.
  4. Finish to lock in your time. Fastest finisher wins; the clock ignores pauses.

Controls

  • Tap a cell, then tap a number on the pad to place it.
  • Switch to Notes to pencil in candidates instead.
  • Hint explains the next cell you can solve.
