About

Witchdoku

Features
Read full description

Looking for a game that calms you down while keeping your mind sharp? Witchdoku is a pure logic puzzle that blends the disciplined reasoning of Sudoku with the deduction of Minesweeper. One mission: give every witch the space she demands. SIMPLE RULES, DEEP STRATEGY • One per color. The board is split into colored regions — exactly one witch belongs in each. • One per line. No two witches share a row or a column. • No touching. Witches guard their space fiercely — they can't sit side by side, not even diagonally. • Risk and reward. Tap once to mark a square with X, tap again to place a witch. You get three pumpkins. Guessing won't save you — every move has to be earned by reasoning. EVERY PUZZLE IS FAIR All 250 levels are verified one by one: each has exactly one solution and can be solved by pure logic. No level ever forces you to guess. A GENTLE CLIMB Boards grow from a friendly 5x5 up to a demanding 9x9, so the difficulty rises with you instead of ahead of you. KEY FEATURES • Non-intrusive ads. Nothing interrupts a puzzle. Watch an ad only if you want extra hints. • Two kinds of help. The lamp shows every square you can rule out and marks them all at once; the witch places one correct witch for you. • Drag to mark. Sweep across squares to cross them out, sweep back to clear them. • Stars for perfection. Finish without losing a pumpkin and earn all three. • 21 languages, and your progress is saved on your device. WHY WITCHDOKU STAYS ON YOUR PHONE No daily grind, no social pressure, no timers shouting at you. Just a minimalist board, a satisfying tap, and a logic loop that keeps turning in your head long after you put the phone down. Ready to out-think a coven of very particular witches?
