About this game

Based on the same rules as the hit KenKen(tm) game, as printed in the New York Times and The Times (uk).

Related to Sudoko, but with a mathematical twist - use the arithmetic challenges in each cage to help solve the puzzle.

Ratings and reviews

can't get enough of it - very customizable. get it! so far I've played 4855 games on the the 7x7 level and still love it! (2/27/22). so now it's 9/27/24, still playing, still loving it - every puzzle is unique and challenging, never gets boring. unfortunately, the latest update deleted the cumulative statistics of my 7300+ games, but I'll live with that. wonderful game, thanks developers!

I've been playing Mathdoku (also known as Kenken - a name protected by copyright) for years, through a series of phones and tablets, and on paper as well. This is a great, crash-free, ad-free app, with enty of variations. More complex than Sudoku, with a whole range of math and logic strategies to figure out and employ. As easy - or as difficult - as you choose!

The new update makes this game unplayable. Played all the time before but the new numbers input ring makes things so time consuming and distracing I will find a new game. Don't bother reading any reviews before the update because all the ones after say the same things and they're not good. Edit: the ring was removed and the game is fixed. 5 stars again!
