## What is Enkeidoku?

Sudoku, but in a circle.

Enkeidoku wraps the classic number puzzle around a round board. Instead of rows and columns, you solve ring by ring and wedge by wedge. Same sudoku logic, a completely new feel.

Play a new puzzle every day, grow a bonsai with every win, and unwind to an original lofi soundtrack inspired by quiet Japanese gardens.

THREE WAYS TO PLAY
• Casual Play: endless circular sudoku on a 4-ring or 5-ring board, from Easy to Extreme
• Daily Challenge: one new puzzle each day, the same for every player. Keep your streak alive for bonus coins; a freeze saves it if you miss a day, and a lost streak can be repaired
• Garden: grow a bonsai one sudoku at a time. Every win grows a new branch, and every finished tree fills a page of your book

THE GARDEN
• Collect 27 bonsai species, each painted in brush ink
• Take on missions: time trials, score trials and no-mistake runs
• Solve cryptic boards where the numbers become kanji, letters or shapes
• Earn coins to unlock the next page of the book

CALM BY DESIGN
• Notes to track candidates as you solve
• Hints when you're stuck, plus undo and erase
• Automatic save, so you never lose progress
• Play offline, anytime
• A clean interface that's easy on the eyes
• In English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and Japanese

Whether you play sudoku every day or you're trying it for the first time, Enkeidoku is a calm, fresh way to train your brain. Download it and solve your first ring today.
