What is Killer Sudoku

Killer Sudoku is a true legend among number games and puzzles. In a nutshell, it’s a perfect blend of those fave brain-twisters Sudoku and Kakuro. Absolutely free!

This number puzzle goes by many names: Sumdoku, Addoku, Cross Sum, etc., but the rules are equally simple across the board. Your goal is to fill the grid with numbers like in classic Sudoku while making sure the sum of numbers in the cages (areas separated by dotted lines) is equal to the number in the upper left corner of that cage. Still sounds complicated? Let’s review the Killer Sudoku rules in detail.

How to play Killer Sudoku

✓ Fill all rows, columns, and 3x3 blocks with numbers 1-9 exactly like in classic Sudoku
✓ Pay attention to the cages – groups of cells indicated by dotted lines.
✓ Make sure the sum of numbers in each cage is equal to the number in the upper left corner of the cage.
✓ The basic rule of Killer Sudoku is that the sum of all numbers in each 3x3 block, row, or column always equals 45.
✓ Numbers cannot repeat within cages, a single row, column, or 3x3 region.

The game is generally good. But ONLY if you pay for the ad-free version. When I first started playing, the easier levels would have an advert before and after, and the Expert level would have one or two in the middle. Then it became one every three minutes but it's now one every 2+ minutes. 7 adverts for an 11 minute Expert game is beyond a joke.

Hi Graham! Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the game, but we understand your frustration with the frequency of ads. Ads support free apps, but we agree that too many can disrupt the experience. We appreciate your thoughts, and hopefully, we can improve the balance between ads and gameplay in the future.

I have been playing this game for a number of years now and highly recommend playing. There is a new puzzle added every day in the daily challenges section and you want to play more the game will generate a new puzzle. There are no pop up ads in this game, you do have the option to watch ads if you need a hint on a puzzle. Every time there has been an issue with the game ive edited this review and the number of stars and the developers have been quick to respond 10/10.

Game is good but visuals & layout are terrible. Essential numbers are too small, suggest increase in size when cage is selected. Cage is difficult to see, suggest whole cage highlighted when selected. Game unplayable in monochrome as numbers look the same (black blue red grey). Can't play comfortably one handed on phone having to reach all 4 corners of the screen regularly. Buttons used occasionally are easier to reach than numbers used constantly, swap the rows, make a moveable 3x3 number grid

Hi! Thank you for the detailed feedback. We’re sorry the layout and visuals made the game uncomfortable to play. Your suggestions on number size, cage highlighting, color contrast, button placement, and a movable number grid are very helpful. We’ll share them with the team and keep them in mind for future improvements. Thank you for playing!
