This game perfectly combines the logical deduction of classic Sudoku with the inferential thrill of Minesweeper. Say goodbye to boring numbers – instead, you’ll find lively, adorable dogs. Your only mission: find that unique little territory for every dog on the grid. How to Play Easy to learn: Dogs need their absolute personal space. They can never appear in the same row, same column, or touch each other – not even diagonally. Minesweeper-style deduction: The game incorporates Minesweeper-like reasoning. It tests not only your placement skills but also your ability to deduce using the clues provided. Features & Mechanics Risk & reward: Double‑tap a cell to place a dog. Guess right and enjoy a satisfying sense of accomplishment – but you only have 3 mistakes in total. Use them all and you’ll have to start over. No blind guessing: Random guesses will quickly lead to failure. Only logical reasoning – using borders and the relationships between cells – will help you lock down safe spots and succeed. Rich levels & difficulty: From beginner to expert, hundreds of cleverly designed logic puzzles await. Every level is carefully crafted to keep your brain sharp and engaged. Dog Theme – Designed for Dog Lovers Unlike traditional number Sudoku, each dog has its own unique look. Every time you complete a level, you’ll hear a cheerful “Woof!” and see a paw‑raising dog celebrating your victory! A fresh take on classic puzzles Break the routine – replace dull numbers with cute dog characters and make solving puzzles even more fun. A unique dog collection From Golden Retrievers and Corgis to Huskies, unlock and collect a wide variety of adorable dogs as you progress. Easy on the eyes Bright, warm colors and a friendly, intuitive interface let you enjoy the game anytime – whether you’re relaxing after noon or during a short commute. Stress‑free brain training A wholesome puzzle game for all ages. Exercise your mind and unwind wherever you are. Download Findoku now and start a fun brain adventure with your clever canine companion!
Soonsak
Read full descriptionHide full description
Five puzzle games that work in airplane mode. Soonsak is Korean slang for time that vanishes in a blink. Soonsak puts BoomDoku, Minesweeper, Sudoku, Nonogram and Metro Link in one app. Tap a game card on the home screen and the board opens right away. Nothing needs the internet, so it plays the same on a plane or a subway, with no ads and no login. FIVE GAMES - BoomDoku: a logic puzzle where each colored area holds exactly one Boomchi. One per row and column too, and no two touching - Minesweeper: read the numbers and dodge the hidden mines. Stepping on one costs a life - Sudoku: 1 to 9 in every row, column and box, from easy 6x6 boards up to hard 9x9 - Nonogram: paint cells from number clues to finish a picture. Boards from 5x5 to 12x15. The 62 hand-drawn pictures come first, in order, and difficulty starts to mix at level 68 - Metro Link: join stations of the same color with lines and fill the whole board. Lines never cross LEVELS THAT NEVER END - Every game has its own level that keeps climbing. Clear a board and you move on to the next level - Your level sets a difficulty ceiling. The ceiling rises from the easiest step up to Master, and BoomDoku adds a 10x10 Legend step from level 121 (it shows up once early, as the level 100 challenge board) - Past the first step, each board's difficulty is mixed. The ceiling comes up most often, with boards one or two steps below in between - Every 10th level is a challenge board at the ceiling - Steps you have passed stay open as practice boards DAILY BOARD AND STREAK - One board a day per game, the same for everyone - Clearing a single board keeps your streak going, shown on a calendar and as streak badges - The Records tab shows boards cleared and best times for each game SOONSAK TAG AND NIGHT GREETING - Match or beat your best time for a difficulty and the result screen shows a "Soonsak!" tag - From 10 pm until 5 am the home screen greets you with "One more tonight" and a few stars and a crescent moon COLLECTIBLES - Every 5 levels you clear earns a collectible: stickers of Boomchi, Menchi, Dandi and Yenchi, Seoul landmark stamps and line badges - BoomDoku and Minesweeper have 32 collectibles (up to level 160), Sudoku 42 (up to level 210) and Metro Link 55 (up to level 275) - Clearing level 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 in a game earns a milestone badge - Finished Nonogram pictures go into a picture album WHEN YOU GET STUCK - A hint tells you where to look and why, in one line - Undo and erase are always there - If you use up all three lives, keep what you placed and get fresh lives to continue - Rules are shown on your first board and can be opened again in Settings SETTINGS - Sound, haptics, color-blind patterns (a pattern drawn on each color), and language (auto, Korean, English) PRIVACY STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE No account, no server. Progress and settings are stored only on your device, and there are no ads or analytics tools. Sound effects are made on the device, so everything works without the internet.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Soonsak at none against Findoku's 8. Soonsak also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
