FAQ

What is Big Bad Sudoku Book?

Big Bad Sudoku Book is a highly-rated Sudoku game that aims to replicate the feel of a traditional paper puzzle book while offering enhanced digital features. It focuses on providing a fun and challenging experience with smart hints and a unique scoring system.

How does the hint system work?

Unlike other Sudoku apps, this game's hints guide you towards the solution without directly revealing the answer to a cell. This approach encourages you to use your brain and solve the puzzle yourself, similar to a real paper Sudoku book.

What are the scoring mechanics?

The game features an arcade-style scoring system that is based on the difficulty of each answer, not on the time taken to solve. This adds a new layer of challenge, as you aim to solve puzzles efficiently and achieve a higher score.

Is this app free to play?

The core functionality of Big Bad Sudoku Book is included, offering unlimited free play in all levels. It is not a freemium app, meaning all features are accessible without additional purchases for core gameplay.

What new features have been added?

Version 3 introduces new downloadable themes, challenging puzzle book campaigns, new puzzle types, and an additional difficulty level. User-requested features like auto removal of marks, number counts, and the ability to turn off manual highlighting have also been implemented.
