our philosophy
The puzzle
stays sacred.
Real puzzles.
Every grid is algorithmically generated and difficulty-rated by actual solve time. No filler. No tricks. Just the puzzle.
Honest scoring.
No boosts. No power-ups. No shortcuts. Your time is your score. The board keeps receipts.
Open competition.
In every shared-puzzle mode, every player starts from the same blank grid. Rank reflects skill, nothing else.

prestige system
Your tier is
your truth.
Prestige is how SudoSquad identifies the world's top Sudoku players. It's earned from every competitive solve: speed, accuracy, difficulty, mode. Nothing else.
Score Formula
Each difficulty has a par time, the expected solve for a competent player. Beat par and your score climbs above the base. Miss it and it drops, but never below 20% of the base. Completing the puzzle adds a bonus on top.
| Difficulty | Par | At par | Max |
|---|---|---|---|
| Easy | 5 min | 150 | 450 |
| Medium | 10 min | 300 | 900 |
| Hard | 20 min | 600 | 2,000 |
| Expert | 35 min | 1,050 | 3,850 |
| Diabolical | 60 min | 1,650 | 6,600 |
Clean solve: 0 mistakes, 0 hints
multiplicative penalties
Prestige gain slows as your total rises: new players climb fast, elite players earn every point. This is to make sure SOVEREIGN is truly earned.
