Play Sudoku with Friends: Private Squad Rooms
SudoSquad lets you create private Sudoku rooms, invite friends, and solve the same board at the same time. This is the fastest path to friendly Sudoku competition with people you actually know, without open matchmaking or strangers in your lobby.
Hosts control the room, players join with a code or secure invite link, and results settle once every run is complete. It works well for casual groups, school circles, family game nights, and competitive friend rivalries.
How private friend rooms work
- Create a Squad Room from the app.
- Share the room code or invite link with your group.
- Everyone joins the same puzzle lobby, up to 15 players.
- The host starts the match on a shared timer.
- Standings update live as players finish, fastest to last.
Built for groups of every kind
Squad Rooms support 3–15 players (default room size 10), so the same feature works for a small friend group or a full class or office competition. Want just one opponent instead? Use a direct duel, since Squad Rooms are built for 3 or more.
Selectable Symbol Sets (numbers, stars, roman numerals, or nature icons) mean everyone in the room can play with whichever set is easiest for them to read, without changing the puzzle itself.
Common Questions
How many friends can join one Sudoku room?
Squad Rooms support 3–15 players in one private lobby (default room size 10), all solving the same puzzle.
Do my friends need an account to join my room?
Friends join with a room code or invite link. An account lets everyone's results and streaks save to their profile.
Can we play Sudoku with friends who are in a different country?
Yes. Squad Rooms work over the internet, not local network, so players anywhere can join with the same room code.
What happens when someone finishes the puzzle first?
Standings update live as each player finishes, and the room's final results settle once everyone completes their run or the round ends.
Is there a way to just race one friend, not a whole group?
Yes. The duel flow is a direct one-on-one challenge, separate from the group Squad Room format.
Can kids play Sudoku with friends on SudoSquad?
Yes. SudoSquad supports selectable Symbol Sets (Digits, Stars, Garden, Cosmos, Roman, or Greek), so players can choose whichever set of symbols is easiest for them to read on the grid.
