About Miracle Sudoku
Presented by Cracking The Cryptic, YouTube’s most popular Sudoku channel, comes a new game based on one of their most popular videos: Miracle Sudoku.
Miracle Sudoku features beautiful puzzles that at first glance look impossible to solve!! Indeed, some of our Miracle puzzles have as few as two givens digits (!) but you will find them all to be solvable with a bit of clever logic! At launch you will be able to play through 4 variants all of which make use of a non-consecutive restraint (ie neighboring cells cannot have two consecutive numbers in them). They are Non-Consecutive Sudoku, classic Miracle Sudoku (non-consecutive + knight + king restrictions), Non-Consecutive Thermo Sudoku and Non-Consecutive Sandwich Sudoku. Each of these variants has a unique feel which refreshes the logic you may be used to, especially in thermo and sandwich sudoku!
As with our other games (‘Classic Sudoku’, ‘Sandwich Sudoku’, ‘Chess Sudoku’ and 'Thermo Sudoku'), Simon Anthony and Mark Goodliffe (the hosts of Cracking The Cryptic) have written all the hints for the puzzles. So you know that every puzzle has been play-tested by a human being to ensure that each sudoku is interesting and fun to solve.
In Cracking The Cryptic’s games, players start with zero stars and earn stars by solving puzzles. The more puzzles you solve, the more stars you earn and the more puzzles you get to play. Only the most dedicated (and cleverest) sudoku players will finish all the puzzles. Of course the difficulty is carefully calibrated to ensure lots of puzzles at every level (from easy through to extreme). Anyone familiar with their YouTube channel will know that Simon and Mark take pride in teaching viewers to be better solvers and, in these games, they always craft the puzzles with the mindset of trying to help solvers improve their skills.
Mark and Simon have both represented the UK many times at the World Sudoku Championship and you can find more of their puzzles (and lots of others) on the internet’s biggest sudoku channel Cracking The Cryptic.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Miracle Sudoku, developed and published by Studio Goya, is a striking example of how far a familiar concept can be pushed through thoughtful design and layered constraints. While it is rooted in the traditional rules of Sudoku, it quickly distinguishes itself by presenting puzzles that initially seem impossibly sparse, often offering only a handful of starting numbers. This deliberate minimalism is not a limitation but a challenge, inviting players to rely entirely on logic and deduction rather than visual density or obvious clues. The core structure remains recognizable: players must fill a 9×9 grid so that each number from 1 to 9 appears exactly once in every row, column, and subgrid. What transforms the experience is the addition of strict non-consecutive rules, preventing adjacent cells from containing numbers that differ by one. In many puzzles, this is combined with further restrictions inspired by chess movements, such as knight and king constraints, which prohibit identical numbers from appearing in positions that mirror those moves. These layered rules create a tightly interconnected system where each placement has far-reaching consequences, requiring players to think not…2 found this helpful
Nice Sudokus. Only problem: no steam auto save apparently....if you set up a new clean pc or reset your current one, you gotta start all over...it's not saved on steam
My first time trying to play this game was quite awful as I found the countless amount of rules to be quite daunting, but after playing through a substantial amount of every other Cracking The Cryptic Sudoku game, I found the restrictions here to be quite enjoyable! I think the difficulties of puzzles are not quite accurate as puzzle 100 took me 7 minutes without hints, whereas puzzle 99 took me multiple hints and multiple hours. Either way, I found this to be really enjoyable! I do wish there were more actual Miracle Sudoku puzzles instead of simply being a non-consecutive game, but beggars can't be choosers.
fire. you can feel the passion and the skill behind every puzzle. no procedural generation makes a big difference
Lovely game
One of my favorite iterations of Sudoku. I love the varying constraints all working together to make satisfying solutions.
