## What is Sudo?

Twelve board, card, dice and puzzle games in one app, now including Sudoku. Play on your own with no signal at all, on a plane or down a tunnel, or go online and take on real friends. No ads, ever.

NEW: SUDOKU AND MINI SUDOKU
Two new puzzles for when you want a quiet game on your own. Sudoku is the classic nine by nine grid. Mini Sudoku is six by six, for a quicker solve. Pick Easy, Medium or Hard.

The app makes every puzzle on your device, and each one has exactly one answer. You won't run out, and you won't need a signal. Pencil in notes as you go and undo any slip. Helpers flag mistakes, shade the row, column and box you're working in, and count how many of each number are left. Switch off any you don't want. Every solve is timed, so there's always a best time to beat.

TWELVE GAMES, ALL FREE TO PLAY
- Chess. The whole game, no shortcuts.
- Backgammon. Dice, blots and the doubling cube.
- Ludo. Race all four pieces home.
- Align 4. Drop your discs and get four in a row.
- Snakes & Ladders. Climb fast, and mind the snakes.
- Sea Battle. Call your shots and sink the fleet.
- Mancala. Sow the seeds and finish with the fullest store.

- Yacht Dice. Roll five dice and chase the perfect score.
- Cypher. Crack the hidden word together.
- NEW: Sudoku. The classic nine by nine.
- NEW: Mini Sudoku. Same idea, smaller grid.

OPPONENTS WITH A TEMPER
No two companions are the same. Each one gets a random playing style and its own mix of personality, so the careful defender from last round is nothing like the reckless gambler in the next. Skill runs from fumbling novice to ice-cold grandmaster. The mood is anyone's guess: you might get the sarcastic one, the nervous one, or the one who will not stop talking trash.

They talk back, too. "Bold move." "Too easy." "That one hurt." Your companion pipes up as you play, and you can answer with your own quick replies. If you'd rather play in peace, turn the chatter down to silent. Chat is free and doesn't need a special iPhone.

PLAY FRIENDS ONLINE WITH SUDO PRO
Share your friend code with the people you actually know and play them online, up to four players depending on the game. An empty seat can go to a companion. Save a rival and the app keeps a running score between you. You'll get a notification when it's your turn, and a match started on your phone picks up on your iPad right where you left off. Online play comes with Sudo Pro, an optional subscription, and needs an account.

PLAY IT YOUR WAY
Take on one to three companions, depending on the game, or sit down with a puzzle on your own. Pick a theme and switch between light and dark. Turn your phone sideways for landscape, or spread out on iPad.

Every game you finish counts toward your level and your daily streak, and your win rate for each game is there when you want it. Play seven days in a row and you earn a streak freeze, which saves your streak on a day you miss.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
Companions and puzzles run entirely on your device, so they work without a connection. There are no ads and no advertising trackers. You decide whether to share usage data, and any cloud data you opt into is hosted in the EU.

Free to play. Pull up a chair.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.3.0 — 2026-09-18

NEW: Sudoku and Mini Sudoku. Pick Easy, Medium or Hard, and your device makes a fresh puzzle on the spot, no signal needed. Use notes and helpers as much or as little as you like, then go after your best time. Stop halfway and the puzzle waits for you on Home.

Cypher is now free for everyone!

Other Fixes:
- Friends who were online showed as offline when you opened their details. This has been fixed
- Every seat in a match lobby shows a name now, and people you haven't added are called players instead of friends
- Cypher's keyboard gives the board its room back in landscape
- On long screens, the buttons at the bottom no longer cover the last row

### 2.2.0 — 2026-09-08

Now fully supported on iPad! We've also made a whole host of improvements to give you a better experience on mobile.

### 2.1.0 — 2026-09-03

We've made some bug fixes and improvements to Sea Battle based on the feedback we've received. Thank you to everyone who has downloaded the app so far, and I hope you continue enjoying Sudo Games!

### 2.0.0 — 2026-09-01

This version introduces a new game, Mancala! We've also made a host of technical enhancement to improve your gaming experience.

### 1.4 — 2026-08-26

Sea Battle has a new rule you can switch on: a hit keeps your turn, so a good run can clear half a fleet in one go. The log reports your longest chain at the end, and your companion has opinions about it.

Match invites now live on the Games tab, in a carousel that shows everything waiting for you. Active games carry an Invited chip, so you can tell at a glance which matches still wait on someone else.

This version also carries a batch of bug fixes and performance work, most of it around online matches, plus a move to a newer build of the framework that makes launches and screen changes quicker.
