This sudoku package offers two games modes: Traditional and Kids. Traditional games offers matrices of 9x9 cells, while the Kids mode is simplified to 6x6 cells subdivided within 3x2 blocks and some cells contain drawings. Both modes have the traditional sudoku gameplay where players need to fill in mathematically correct numbers from 1 to 9, but the Kids mode shows the possibilities as large buttons.

The game comes with a multilevel generator to create random sudokus based on five difficulty levels. Game help is provided through advice, fill-in pencil marks, highlighted cells and warning of conflicts. The sudokus can be printed out to solve on paper and there are timed games to go for a high score. A brief history of the game and general instructions have been included as well. [source:mobygames]
