    The cube takes shape

    Sudoku folded onto six faces that share their edges. A row on the front keeps going on the right face, and a corner digit counts three times.

  3. Apr 2026Milestone

    400 puzzles and the Daily Cube

    Twenty handcrafted packs, plus a new cube every day that everyone solves together. It all works offline.

  4. Apr 2026Milestone

    Killer Cube

    Sum cages that wrap around the edges of the cube. The hardest way to play, and our favourite.

  5. May 2026Milestone

    The technique trainer

    Watch a solve replay one deduction at a time and practise the techniques that crack the hard cubes.

  6. May 2026Achievementv1.1

    Four languages

    English, French, Spanish and Arabic, with a fully mirrored right-to-left layout and screen-reader support.

  7. May 2026Milestonev1.3

    Corner Conquest

    Solve only the eight corner cells before time runs out. Every corner sits on three faces, and a corner mistake costs double.

  8. May 2026Milestonev1.3

    Achievements and trophy themes

    Keep a streak going to earn the Bronze, Silver and Gold themes, then the Master Plate.

    News from the website

    Announcements we post on the website arrive in the app, in your language, in a small inbox.

  15. Sep 2026Milestonev1.6

    The cube catches light

    Lifted digits rise out of the cube when you pick a number, and new cube skins change the surface itself.

  16. Sep 2026Achievementv1.6

    Themes to choose from

    Twenty-six themes and twenty-two cube styles, from Neon to Zellige, plus keys that feel like keys.

  17. Sep 2026Achievementv1.6
    800

    New puzzles to download

    Forty packs join the twenty in the app, ten for each level. Each one downloads for a short ad and is yours to keep: 1,200 puzzles in all.

  18. Sep 2026Milestonev1.6

    The cube you can hear

    Sound effects in two packs, Calm or Arcade, and cells that light up when you finish a number: Burst, Teleport, Neon, Ripple or Gold. Both sit in Styling's new Play tab, and a speaker beside the Styling button mutes the sound in one tap.

  19. Sep 2026Small additionv1.6

    Tablets in landscape

    Tablets and foldables turn with you, or stay in portrait if you prefer, from Settings. A keyboard and a mouse work too.

  20. Oct 2026Achievementv1.6

    Eight modes to earn

    Beat the Clock, Speed Run, Tug of War, the Lightning Round, Survival, Missions, Roulette and Endless are out of testing. Each one opens as you play, at a level or with a trophy, and Game modes on the home screen shows them all.

  21. Oct 2026Milestonev1.6

    Missions

    Each cube comes with one to four missions to keep, like starting with a 7 or never using a pencil mark. A mission glows amber before a move would break it, a win pays double XP, and the Daily Mission is the same for everyone.

  22. Oct 2026Milestonev1.6

    Roulette

    The cube turns itself every minute, or as often as you choose, and you solve what it shows. Drag to peek and it swings back; your time is your score.

  23. Oct 2026Milestonev1.6

    Tifinagh

    Classic sudoku with its nine digits drawn as letters of the Amazigh alphabet of Morocco. You solve by shape, not by counting, and a legend of the nine letters helps while you learn them.

    The cube's finish on the buttons

    In beta: one switch in Settings puts the glossy, metal or pearl finish you chose for the cube on the app's keys and buttons too.

    Oct 2026Small additionv1.6

    Your digits, your colours

    Choose the colour of the cube's digits, the given ones and yours. Each colour is adjusted if needed, so it stays readable on every theme.

  25. Oct 2026Milestonev1.7

    One Face

    Classic 9×9 sudoku on the front face of the cube, the other five left blank, and a cube that only tilts. A game takes minutes, not an evening: 2,000 puzzles in the app and 4,000 more to download.

  26. Autumn 2026Testing and validation

    Playable on a PC

    In testing on Google Play Games for PC: the mouse wheel zooms, the keyboard types the digits and moves between cells, and the window fits a desktop.

Targets show a season, not a date. Plans can change as we learn what players enjoy, and we would rather ship something right than ship it on a deadline.
