Cats & dogs: one per row, column & color. A cozy logic puzzle game, no timers.
A cat and a dog are hiding on every board. Find them both.
PawDoku is a cozy logic puzzle game — no numbers, no timers, no guessing. Just you, a grid of colors, and two very patient animals waiting to be placed. If you like Sudoku, Star Battle, Queens or Two Not Touch, you already know how to play.
🐾 ONE SIMPLE RULE, THREE WAYS TO BREAK IT
• Exactly one pet per row
• Exactly one pet per column
• Exactly one pet per colored region
• Pets need their space — no two may touch, not even corner to corner
Tap once to mark a square you have ruled out. Tap again to place a pet. That is the whole game, and it will still be teaching you things four hundred levels in.
🐱🐶 A CAT AND A DOG, ON EVERY BOARD
Most animal puzzle games pick one creature. Every PawDoku board casts both a cat and a dog, and the pair celebrate together when you solve it. Collect twelve friends as you play — Scout the Beagle, Pebble the Scottish Fold, Blizzard the Husky and more — each one earned by reaching a level, never bought from a wheel.
🧩 900 LEVELS, AND NO TWO ARE THE SAME
Every board is built in advance, checked by a solver, and verified unique before it ships. No repeated layouts, ever — you will never solve the same grid twice. Grids run from a gentle 4x4 that teaches the rules up to an 11x11 that will take you a while.
The difficulty climbs honestly too: easy boards early, expert boards late, and a breather level every so often so a hard run never becomes a wall.
🌍 EIGHT WORLDS TO TRAVEL THROUGH
Puppy Park, Kitty Garden, Pet Town, Beach, Forest, Snow, Carnival and Paw City. The colors and the scenery change as you climb, so the back half of the campaign never looks like the front.
📅 A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY
A fresh daily board every morning — the same one for everybody, so you and a friend can compare notes. Keep your streak alive and train your brain before the coffee goes cold.
🏆 THE DAILY CUP
Climb a ladder of fifty every day and win paws for where you finish — champion, podium, top ten. It runs offline on your device: no account, no sign-up, no waiting for a server.
🧘 A FEW QUIET MINUTES
A commute, a queue, a waiting room, the last ten minutes before sleep. PawDoku is a brain teaser you can pick up for one board and put down again, with nothing counting down at you and nothing to lose by stopping.
🧠 PURE DEDUCTION, NEVER LUCK
Every board has exactly one solution and can be reasoned out from the first move. Cross off what cannot be, lock in what must be, and enjoy the moment it clicks. Nothing is random, nothing is guesswork, and no board can trap you in a position with no way forward.
Stuck? A hint points at the next square you could have worked out yourself — it shows you the reasoning, not the answer.
✨ MADE TO BE KIND
• Three hearts, and a hint whenever you want one
• No timers and no rush — solve at your own pace
• Gentle sounds, soft colors and pets that react to how you are doing
• Undo any move, and reset a board whenever you like
• Tablet support, plus a one-handed layout on phones
• Sound, music and voice are three separate switches, so you can keep what you like
🎁 FOR EVERY KIND OF PUZZLER
New to logic puzzles? The first levels are small and the tutorial walks you through every rule. Been solving Sudoku for twenty years? Skip ahead and meet the 11x11 boards, where a single deduction can take a real minute of staring.
PawDoku is a brain game you can play for two minutes or two hours, and a daily habit that asks nothing of you but attention.
