## What is Sudoku Champions?

Sudoku Champions puts you in the arena.                                                               
                                                                                                        
  This isn't solitaire Sudoku. In Ranked mode, you face off against an opponent in real time. You both  
  get the exact same puzzle at the exact same moment. First one to finish wins. Your Elo rating goes up 
  or down based on the result - just like competitive chess.                                            
                                                                                                        
  Play 5 placement matches to find your starting rank, then grind your way from Bronze through Silver,  
  Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master, and all the way to Grandmaster. Every match counts.                  
                                                                                                        
  FOUR WAYS TO PLAY                                                                                     
                                                                                                        
  Ranked                                                                                                
  The main event. 1v1 matches where speed and accuracy both matter. Watch your opponent's progress bar  
  creep forward while you work. Win and climb. Lose and learn.                                          
                                                                                                        
  Daily Challenge                                                                                       
  A fresh puzzle drops every day. Complete it to keep your streak alive. Miss a day and you're back to  
  zero.                                                                                                 
                                                                                                        
  Story Mode

  unlock achievements along the way.
