Cookiedoku is a logic puzzle about finding hidden cookies. Every board is split into colored regions, and one cookie hides in each. The rules fit on a napkin: one cookie per row, one per column, one per region, and no two cookies may touch, not even at the corners. Tap a square to cross it out. Double tap when you are sure. No guessing needed: every puzzle can be solved by logic alone. A JOURNEY OF 120 LEVELS, THEN THE ENDLESS BAKERY Work through six worlds, from gentle 5x5 boards up to 10x10 boards that take real deduction. Earn up to three stars per level. Your journey is shuffled just for you, and you can start a fresh one whenever you like. Finished all 120? The Endless Bakery keeps baking harder boards for as long as you want. VERSUS: 2 TO 4 PLAYERS, ONE BOARD Host a room, share the code, and race up to three friends on the very same puzzle. First to finish wins. Or find a ranked match against anyone and climb from Crumb to Cookie Legend. Live matches run through Game Center, with no account to create. RACE THE WORLD Everybody gets the same board at the same time. Sprint is a new race every four hours, and the Daily Bake-Off is a bigger board once a day. You get one official attempt. Mistakes and hints add time, so clean logic beats fast fingers. FILL THE COOKIE JAR 550 cookies to collect, all drawn just for this game. Every win drops a new one, from everyday Commons to glowing Legendaries, and twelve Mythic cookies are earned only by real feats. Wear any cookie you own as your character. MAKE IT YOURS Pick your character, frame it with a border you have earned, and bake on a board theme of your choice. Keep a daily streak going and watch the flame grow. FAIR AND QUIET - No ads - No purchases - No account to create - Nothing collected about you - Journey and free play work offline Three mistakes and the batch is burnt, so think before you double tap.
