Summit Numbers

Read full description

Every number is a move. Every edge is a shortcut. Every puzzle is a tactical challenge. Summit Numbers is a strategy-first number puzzle built for players who enjoy clever logic, spatial planning, and discovering the one move that changes everything. It combines the numerical reasoning of Sudoku and Kakuro with chess-like movement planning and a wrap-around board. Every move matters, every route can change, and the best solution is often hiding in plain sight. Move each numbered piece exactly by its value, from 1 to 6, horizontally or vertically. Pieces that leave one edge re-enter from the opposite side, opening unexpected routes and rewarding careful planning. In Classic Mode, position your pieces to complete all four edge targets at once: Top, Right, Bottom, and Left. Looking for a faster opening? Hot Start drops you directly into the action. You can also challenge the computer or race a nearby player in Multiplayer Mode. Each turn introduces a new active piece through the center portal, reshaping the board and changing your available paths. Merge identical 1s, 2s, and 3s to create 2s, 4s, and 6s. A well-timed merge can clear space, build a better route, or unlock a solution that seemed impossible. DAILY PUZZLES Return each day for a fresh set of logic challenges.
