## What is Sudoku Arena?

Sudoku, but make it a fight.

Sudoku Arena turns the world's favourite logic puzzle into a live head-to-head battle. Race real players on identical boards, sabotage their progress with tactical boosters, and defend yourself with shields — all wrapped in a gorgeous neon night-sky world that makes every match feel electric.
BATTLE MODE
Jump into the queue and get matched with a real opponent in seconds (an AI rival steps in if nobody's around, so there's always a fight). Every correct move charges your power bar — spend it on boosters:
• GHOST — hide your filled squares from your rival's mini-map
• HIDE — scramble what your opponent can see
• WIPE — hit them where it hurts
Earn a shield to block incoming attacks, throw emotes to talk trash, and share your victory card when the dust settles. Win matches to climb the tiers — Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum — and earn your place on the monthly global leaderboard.

DAILY CHALLENGE
One puzzle. One chance. Everyone on Earth races the same board. Post your time to the daily leaderboard — but be sure before you submit, because there are no second attempts until tomorrow.

FRIEND CHALLENGE
Think you're the sharpest in your group chat? Create a private match, share the 6-character code, and settle it head-to-head.

SOLO MODE
Pure, focused Sudoku across four difficulties — from a gentle warm-up to Master level for the fearless. Five lives, personal best times, and a calm soundtrack to keep you in the zone.

A SUDOKU GAME THAT LOOKS LIKE A GAME
• A moonlit night-sky world with twinkling stars and glowing glass design
• Silky animations, glowing selections, and satisfying feedback on every move
• A bespoke soundtrack for every mode, plus haptics you can feel
• Designed natively for iOS with Liquid Glass

PRIVACY FIRST
No account. No sign-up. No personal data harvesting. Your progress lives on your device; leaderboards use only the nickname you choose.

Whether you've got two minutes for a quick duel or a quiet evening for a Master board, Sudoku Arena is the most alive Sudoku has ever felt.

Download now — your rival is already filling in squares.
