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 and makes you wait 5 seconds.
  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.

Questions
Does everyone get the same Sudoku puzzle?
Yes. The host chooses the level and every player in the group solves the identical puzzle. Ranking is by finishing time, and the clock ignores pauses.
What levels are there?
Easy, medium, hard and expert. The host picks before each round.
Do mistakes cost anything?
A wrong number is not placed and counts as a miss on your own tally. The ranking is by finishing time alone.
Do I need an account?
No. Press Play and you are in as a guest, with a name picked for you. A guest lasts 24 hours. Sign in with Google or Apple to pick your own name and color and keep them on every device, or to take out a Party Pass. Your real name is never shown.
Do I need to download anything?
No. Every game runs in the browser on your phone, tablet or computer. Open joinme.games and play. You can add it to your home screen for an app-like experience.
How do my friends join?
Host a room and you get a short game code. Share the code or the invite link. Friends open it on their own phones and they are in the room straight away — nothing to press. The host starts the round for everyone.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Any modern phone browser works, and the same game runs on a laptop or a tablet. Everyone in a group can be on different devices.
Is it free?
The games on this page are free to play. A Party Pass removes ads for you and everyone you host, and gives you a custom room code and a name of your own.
