Battle of Sudoku: A Multiplayer Sudoku Showdown!
Love Sudoku? Want to challenge friends or team up for a strategic puzzle battle? Battle of Sudoku is a multiplayer version of the classic game where you compete against other players or teams. The goal remains the same: fill a 9x9 grid with digits so each column, row, and 3x3 subgrid contains all digits from 1 to 9.
Before diving in, adjust the difficulty (1-6, 1 being easiest, 6 hardest) in the game options. This sets the initial numbers, creating a shared puzzle for all players.
Game Modes:
The game offers two modes, configurable in the options:
-
Show Opponent's Correct Numbers: Each correctly placed number is visible to all players. Only the first player to correctly place a number earns points for that specific digit.
-
Hide Opponent's Correct Numbers: Correct numbers are hidden from other players, allowing for the possibility of multiple players earning points for the same digit.
Time-Outs and Points:
Incorrect numbers result in a time-out (adjustable in the options, default 30 seconds). Correct numbers earn points, with higher difficulty levels awarding more points per correct digit. Incorrect entries deduct points (half the value of a correct entry).
Winning the Game:
The game ends when the puzzle is solved. In the "Show Opponent's Correct Numbers" mode, the player with the most points wins. With this option disabled, the game ends when one player solves the puzzle, though this doesn't grant extra points; other players can still win based on fewer mistakes.
Team Play vs. Individual Play:
Team play allows two teams to compete. Players select their team (1 or 2) upon joining. At least two players per team are required. Points are added to the team's total score, and notes/colors are shared within the team, facilitating collaborative solving strategies.
Solving Tools:
A toolbar beneath the puzzle provides tools:
-
Pen Tool: Add notes (mini-numbers) to squares. Selecting a number already present removes it.
-
Fill Mode: Change the background color of squares.
