PetDoku: Find Hidden Pets
About PetDoku: Find Hidden Pets — Pure Logic Puzzle with 2,000 Stages
PetDoku: Find Hidden Pets is a logic puzzle built around the same satisfying deduction that drives Sudoku, wrapped in a calm, pet-collecting package. The board is divided into colourful regions, and a pet hides somewhere inside each one. Every row, every column, and every colour region holds exactly one pet — and no two pets may touch, not even diagonally. All 2,000 stages are verified solvable by deduction alone, so guessing is never required. As stages are cleared, a collection of 100 different charming critters gradually fills out. One scene shows a six-by-six grid whose cells are coloured in orange, yellow, green, teal, and blue. The game presents its brain-teasing challenges in soothing pastel tones, and sound adds an ASMR quality that gently highlights each action.
How to Play PetDoku: Find Hidden Pets
The goal on each board is to find every hidden pet and clear the stage. Each coloured block conceals exactly one pet, and the rules governing placement are strict: no row, column, or colour region may contain more than one pet, and every placed pet must sit at least one cell away from any other pet in all directions, including diagonally. Because every puzzle is constructed so that logic alone leads to the solution, the path forward can always be reasoned out without guessing.
Mark cells where a pet definitely cannot go, narrow down the possibilities region by region, and place pets in the cells that remain. When the entire board is resolved, the stage is complete.

FAQ
Do any of the 2,000 puzzles require guessing?
No. Every stage in PetDoku: Find Hidden Pets is verified solvable by deduction alone, so a correct solution can always be reached through logic without guessing.
How many pets can be collected across all stages?
Progressing through the stages gradually fills a collection of 100 different critters.
What are the daily challenges for?
Daily challenges let players earn additional game points and collect trophies throughout the month.
Can pets be placed next to each other diagonally?
No. No two pets may touch at all — the required gap extends to diagonal neighbours as well, meaning every placed pet needs a clear radius of one cell in all directions.
What does the X hint power-up actually mark?
The X hint automatically places X marks around the most recently discovered pet — filling in the cells along its row and column and every cell within a one-cell radius — so the elimination work is done for you.
