DAILY CHALLENGES & STREAKS
A new puzzle every day. Build your streak. Compare your solve time with players worldwide. Never run out of fresh puzzles.

SEASONAL EVENTS
Six rotating "Hauntings" throughout the year — each with unique cosmetic rewards. All free, no premium pass required.

SMART HINTS
Stuck? Every puzzle gives you three free hints, in three tiers that guide you without spoiling the solve:
1. See which numbers fit a cell
2. Learn the solving technique to use
3. Reveal a cell's answer

PLAY OFFLINE
Puzzles work offline — GridJoy generates them on-device. Solve anywhere, on the bus, on a plane, in the park. Your progress, leaderboards, and daily gifts sync when you're back online.

LIGHT & DARK THEMES
Choose your style. Beautiful dark glassmorphism for night-time puzzling, or a clean light theme for day. Switch anytime in Settings.

PROGRESSION SYSTEM
Earn XP for every solve. Level up to unlock new ghost colours and cosmetics. Complete missions for bonus rewards. Track your personal bests across all 18 puzzle types.

RANKINGS & CHALLENGES
Compete on global leaderboards — sorted by XP, streak, solve count, or Arena wins. Enter an open Arena challenge and race everyone else on the same board, or challenge a friend to a head-to-head number duel. See how you stack up.

MASTERY SYSTEM
Earn Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond mastery per puzzle type. The harder you push, the more you unlock. Track personal bests across all 18 types.

FREE TO PLAY
No subscription. No premium pass. No in-app purchases at all. And no ads — none, anywhere, ever. No banners, no interstitials, no rewarded video. GridJoy is funded by one developer, not by your attention. That's it.

No reading required — every puzzle is numbers and logic, so language is never a barrier.

GridJoy — 18 number puzzles, one ghost, zero words.

What’s new

Fixed
• Reset or Undo could hand you a win for a board you had just cleared — or stop a finished puzzle counting
• Undo no longer throws away the hint you just spent
• Hints now work past the easiest boards on four more puzzles

Backed up
• Your ghost's outfits, best streak, records and daily history survive a reinstall

Better
• Buttons are easier to hit — the number pad and the switch rows
• The keypad no longer lights up on squares already filled in
• Calcudoku cage outlines are clear again
