Orchard Doku brings fruit-filled logic puzzles onto a colorful cube. Explore 1,000 3D puzzles alongside the 6,000-level classic campaign. DOUBLE FRUIT, DOUBLE THE FUN Explore 1,000 puzzles with two fruits in every colored region, row and column. Fruits cannot touch, even diagonally. Boards grow from 8×8 to 9×9 and 10×10, with a hands-on tutorial to get you started. The first 15 levels are free; unlock each later level permanently for 8 gold seeds, or play them all with Pro. A dedicated Game Center leaderboard counts distinct completed levels. Progress is included in iCloud sync. THREE CONNECTED FACES Follow one 1,000-level 3D journey with 6x6 to 9x9 cubes. Place one fruit in each row, column and colored region on every face; fruits cannot touch across shared edges. Rotate to connect clues, tap once to mark and twice to place fruit. The first 29 levels are free; later levels unlock permanently for 8 gold seeds each, or with Pro. A unified Game Center leaderboard counts distinct completed 3D levels. First clears earn 4 gold seeds, or 5 with Pro. A GENTLE START, ROOM TO GROW Explore a 6,000-level campaign with 5x5 to 10x10 boards. Adaptive difficulty responds to your recent progress. Take on a separate daily challenge while keeping your campaign board and notes. TIME TRIAL Race through 7x7 to 10x10 boards with a six-minute starting clock. Every clear adds 20 seconds; a mistake costs 10 seconds. Two free runs each day, or unlimited runs with Pro. Compare your best score on Game Center. CONTINUE ACROSS DEVICES iCloud sync automatically combines completed levels and best scores across devices using the same Apple Account. New installations enable sync by default; an existing choice to turn it off is respected. Play offline, then sync from the home screen when connected. Active puzzles are protected, and ordinary progress differences no longer require choosing one complete save. Both devices should use version 1.2.1 or later. Check sync status before changing devices or deleting the app. PLAY FREE, OR CHOOSE EXTRA HELP The first 100 campaign levels are free. Later levels can be permanently unlocked for 8 gold seeds each. Earn seeds by playing, or buy optional 120-, 420- or 1,200-seed packs. Packs can be purchased repeatedly and seeds do not expire. Use seeds for hints, revealing a fruit, extra hearts and level unlocks. Purchases require internet, are processed by Apple and verified through StoreKit. Delivery is saved on this device first, without activating a separate cloud wallet. With iCloud game sync enabled, the balance and records preventing duplicate delivery sync in the background with your save. The optional, one-time Orchard Doku Pro purchase unlocks all 6,000 campaign levels and all 1,000 3D puzzles, includes a first-purchase gift of 120 seeds, and adds first-clear reward bonuses. Restore eligible Pro purchases from Settings. Available in English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and Korean. Enjoy an optional dark mode and 3D fruit that stays upright as you tilt your device. The first 5,000 levels retain adaptive difficulty. Levels 5,001–6,000 are 10×10 puzzles in a fixed order with gradually increasing difficulty. A LITTLE HELP GOES FURTHER Classic, Daily, Double Fruit and 3D include 2 free reasoning hints and 2 fruit reveals per puzzle; all three 3D faces share the allowance. Time Trial includes 2 of each for the entire run, with no refill between boards. Extra reasoning hints cost 2 gold seeds and fruit reveals cost 4. Level unlocks still cost 8 seeds. SHARE THE PUZZLE, SPREAD THE FUN Share your current Classic, Daily, Double Fruit or 3D board as a card with an App Store QR code. Your first eligible completed share each day earns 8 seeds, once across all four modes. Canceling, copying or only saving an image does not qualify.
