One owl per row. One owl per column. One owl in every grove — and no two owls touching. Easy to learn, wonderfully stubborn to master. Hoodoku is a cozy logic puzzle. Every board has exactly one solution: swipe X's across the squares that can't work, and when only one perch remains, that's where the owl lives. No timers, no pressure — just you, a quiet grove, and a very patient owl named Otto. EVERY NIGHT, A NEW ROOST One shared puzzle drops each night. One try. Solve it fast and clean, then see where you land on tonight's leaderboard. A WEEKLY RACE WORTH WINNING Every grove you solve adds to your weekly total. When the week closes, the top three owls on the podium take gold, silver, and bronze — and a coin prize to match. Then the board wipes clean, and the race starts fresh. FLY WITH FRIENDS Every owl gets a shareable owl code. Add your friends' codes and your flock gets its own weekly board — see exactly who to beat before the week closes. No accounts, no contact lists, just codes. A GROVE THAT NEVER RUNS OUT Boards grow from 8×8 to 10×10 as you climb, and there's always another level waiting. Level 12 is the same level 12 for everyone — compare fair and square. COLLECT THE AVIARY Earn coins by solving and dress Otto up — snowy owl, barn owl, disco owl, neon owl, and more. Then open the Wardrobe: glasses, hats, outfits and earrings, worn proudly on every leaderboard row. Cosmetics only: in Hoodoku, skill is the only advantage. KEEP THE NIGHT STREAK Play one grove a night to keep your streak alive. Every seventh night, Otto brings a gift — and now you claim it yourself from the home screen. YOURS, QUIETLY • No account, no sign-up, no email address — ever • Play offline or online, anywhere • Shape mode gives every grove its own symbol, so colors are never a barrier • Cozy for a quiet evening, competitive when you want it to be Pull up a branch. The grove is waiting.
